It seemed very much like an adrenaline dump to me after absolutely blasting Arlovski in R1.

The fact that he was able to recover enough to get him down and sub him was impressive to me. I think his cardio will be fine over 5 rounds if he does not finish it earlier.

Also a lot of people seem to think Aspinall will not be able to get Volkov down because he has a good takedown defence. I think very differently. I think Aspinall will use momentum like a rugby tackle to take him down and his height will actually make it easier.

The reason why I can't pick Aspinal is that he said himself that he doesn't think he should fight the top heavyweight and then in his next fight is Volkov, If he himself isn't confedent in himself in beating Volkov, Why should I ????

I think Aspinal called out  whomever was #14 at the time, Because he want to take it slow

I also think Ilia Topuria is going to remind everybody exactly who he is here, against a bigger opponent too.

These are my locks for the card now, lets see if I get them right.

1. Ilia Topuria
2. Gunner Nelson
3. Jack Shore
4. Cory McKenna
5. Mokaev
6. Molly McCann
7. Paddy the Baddy


Also pretty confident in Tom Aspinall though I would not say he is a lock.

Less confident but still reasonably confident in Dan Hooker, Nikita Krylov.

Still picking and betting but less confident in Mike Grundy and Sergei Pavlovic.

Also will confidently pick anyone against Wood if they find him a new opponent.

@Rusty not confident at all on McCann. She could definitely drop it. Molly is a crash test dummy. Carolina has good long straight punches, solid anti-wrestling.

After last week's round of picks you and everybody else should probably just dismiss every opinion I have on MMA out of hand though TBH.

Bro last weeks card was pretty rough and unpredictable. A lot of correct picks were due to some degree of luck, mine included. Your picks are usually pretty good, and I hope this week will be better!

Volkov weighed in at 253, 10 pounds lighter than he was against Tybura.

He was always going to make weight. 

The worry about him being around 160lbs was unfounded (he had to lose about 10%) and was before the salt cut which results in pretty rapid loss of weight. The rest is water weight which can be cut relatively quickly and gained also relatively quickly with proper rehydration.

I expect him to be fine on fight day and rehydrate to be much bigger than Arnold Allen on fight night. I do not think he will be compromised (though I could be wrong!)

Im probably picking carolina too. Molly is just a walking punching bag. She is gonna get tagged coming in. But then again the judges might give her the fight for being the one "coming forward" and not "running away"

Bro I respect your picks and your record, but I think you are wrong about this one.

Carolina has horrible striking and even worse striking defence. Molly will crash her range and tee off on her. I really think she knocks her out.

I really think Carolina is not good. Not good at all.
