Topuria

I have a lot of parlays tied to Topuria so keen to know.
I personally think Topuria is going to steamroll him but my only worry is if he gets tired, still I expect him to get a finish before then.

Alexander Volkov, DEC
I am surprised Volkov is not the favorite..Tom Aspinall is not an ngannou, he has never been tested!

1. Aspinall Dec
I don't expect many to agree with me on this one. But I definitely think Aspinall will win being the faster and more skilled striker. Yes I do think he is more skilled than Volkov and also has a good grappling game. A lot of people seem to think Volkov can't be taken down, but I'd counter that with the fact that Aspinall plays rugby. And his take downs could be very different to traditional wrestlers take downs. Also unless Aspinall gets a submission I am not certain now that he KOs Volkov. I feel there is more than a small chance this goes the distance, and the only reason people don't seem to think Aspinall can go 5 rounds is because they have not seen him do it before. I think a 5 round Aspinall decision is really on the cards. Either way I am picking Aspinall to win.
2. Hooker Dec
I am a lot less worried about Hooker's weight cut than a lot of people. I think he is going to make weight fine. Of course he will not be 100% on fight day, especially with the long flight, but who ever is at 100%? I think his size and reach and strength will be too much against a very skilled Arnold. I think Hookers leg kicks could play a big part here too to take away Allens movement. Expecting a close, good fight with Hooker winning a close decision.
3. Pimblett Sub
I think Vargas is not UFC level. They know what they are doing. This is a setup match for Paddy against a slower, less skilled opponent who will be lost on the ground. This should be a finish.
4. Nelson Sub
Main worry is the reason Nelson was out for so long was 2 bad rib injuries which took a long time to heal. Not sure what effect that will have on his wrestling and grappling but I am really hoping he is back to his usual self. If he is I expect this to hit the ground at some point, and when it does then it should be a submission. Nelson is very high level on the ground and Sato has lost by submission more than once.
5. McCann KO
I am actually very confident about McCann winning now. Almost a lock for me. Having watched her previous fights now I do not think Luana is good at all. Also do not think Molly will spend too much time wrestling, this will mainly be on the feet and I think Molly can actually finish her.
6. Topuria Sub
Herbert is of course much bigger but if Topuria gets it to the floor even once I think its game over.
7. Grundy Dec
Changed my pick here going back to my policy of picking on better cardio when I am not sure of the outcome. I think Grundy will get it done because Makhwan will get tired.
8. Pavlovich KO
Abdulrakhimov is too slow and too hittable. As long as Pavlovich does not get taken down to his back this should be an easy win.
9. Krylov Dec
Craig will likely get outstruck and outwrestled by Krylov. Craig probably has to get a submission to win this and if he is on his back I do not think he will get this against Krylov.
10. Shore Sub
I have never been impressed with Valiev. I do not like his wrestling or grappling but I do think his striking is pretty good. He is chinny though, and I think Shore will be bigger, stronger, too fast and too skilled. I actually think there is a good chance he can catch Valiev with a strike, stun him then take his neck.
11. McKenna Dec
Changed my pick after watching McKennas wrestling. It's really quite good. And as much as I think Reed could be under rated here I am now confident McKenna takes a decision with her wrestling and grappling.
12. Mokaev Sub
I think Mokaev will tire out Durdan with his wrestling and then get a late submission. I think there is a reason this is the first fight of the night and I think the UFC expects a finish here too.
