Predictions: 6 of 14 Winners, 3 Perfect, 455 Points   |   Tied for 2573rd

Oliveira vs. Gaethje
Charles Oliveira, SUB, R2
I think Gaethje’s leg kicks will be a big part of his gameplan as Charles will likely be looking to take Justin down. I think he gets hurt in the first but gets the submission in the second. Gaethje doesn’t really have a wrestling/BJJ game unlike Poirier did.

Namajunas vs. Esparza II
Rose Namajunas, DEC
Rose is really good at keeping the fight at her range. Carla will need to find a way take this one to the ground.

Chandler vs. Ferguson
Michael Chandler, TKO, R2
Chandler by standing TKO. Tony hasn’t been himself since the Gaethje fight, where he got TKO’d standing.

St. Preux vs. Rua II
Ovince St. Preux, SUB, R3
OSP by Von Flue. This is one of 2 “clash of a veterans” fights on this card. Shogun is more washed than OSP.

Cerrone vs. Lauzon
Donald Cerrone, DEC
This is one of 2 “clash of veterans” fights. I think Cowboy has the better cardio which will be a big factor. However I think Joe will be a bit faster. Joe wins the first round but loses 2

@Jakediamond is completely right Poirier has a way better grappling style for Oliveira than Gaethje does. Oliveira submitted Poirier from the back, not from guard. Poirer's guard is a lot harder to pass than Gaethje's.

I get it's Khabib and he is a legend, but are we going to forget Gaethje got triangle'd in guard. Those scrambles are good against wrestlers; not lethal BJJ experts or just a better, more techinal wrestler in Khabib.

I do feel that Charles will win but do you guys feel it's unlikely that he will win by decision?  Should I just take him inside the distance?  I don't see Charles going 5 rounds with Justin, it's just not the way he fights.  I think he will find an opportunity to SUB Justin in the 3rd or 4th round when Justin is tired or makes a mistake.

I don't think this fight goes 5 rounds no matter who wins, Gaethje and Oliveira both come to finish. 

But Chandler vs Gaethje , Lewis vs Ngannou. It's never safe lol.
But knock on joanne wood, no way this goes 5 rounds both these guys are scary.

I took a break from MMA betting for a while but now I'm back at it for this card. So far, these are my most confident picks or this card:

Charles Oliveira -185
Khaos Williams -134
Blagoy Ivanov -160 

Obviously, all three guys can also win inside the distance but during this break, I've learned to not take individual props anymore and just take moneylines.  What do you all think of these 3 guys winning on Saturday?

Props are nice when you're extremely confident that it's going one way. Like Oliveira by sub? He's +155 to win via submission per Fanduel.

I do agree with all of those picks. Ivanov vs. Rogerio just gives me weird vibes so I'd stay away from it, but I think Ivanov gets the dub too.

Namajunas vs. Esparza II
Rose Namajunas, DEC
It seems logical that Esparza will come in grappling-heavy like Weili did, but Weili is the better MMA fighter, the way I see it. She's able to mix striking with her grappling better than Carla can, by a decent margin, and if Carla is struggling to initiate grappling, this should be a Thug Rose striking showcase.

Cortez vs. Gatto
Melissa Gatto, SUB, R1
I'm on Gatto's hype. I think she's going to be able to show off her guard game in this fight and pull off a finish.

Chandler vs. Ferguson
Michael Chandler, TKO, R1
**** this fight, Tony one of my favourite fighter, Don't want to see Chandler murder him, Tony is really durable, But Chandler would have some of the heavier hands in the division

Cerrone vs. Lauzon
Donald Cerrone, DEC
in one way it an old man fight so one way it 50-50, But Cerrone should be a lock as I kinda doubt he get knock out early and if he doesn't he suppior cardio got it, Lauzon is kinda a one round fighter, Lauzon more of a submession 1 round fighter and I think Cerrone is a hard guy to submit

Chiasson vs. Dumont
Norma Dumont, DEC
Macy Chiasson sucks, Norma Dumont decent, Haven't watch Dumont last fight or 2 so I don't know much about her, But all I know is Macy is bad

Royval vs. Schnell
Brandon Royval, TKO, R2
I think Rovyal win just because I think he catch Scnell in something, But I really like Scnell as a a dog, +205 ain't bad and I think Schnel has a very valid path to victory jabbing and taking down Rovyal, If he doesn't get finished Scnell win

Godinez vs. Carnelossi
Ariane Carnelossi, DEC
Think Carnelossi is to lesbian for Godinez, Look at her Delts

Fialho vs. VanCamp
Andre Fialho, TKO, R1

Carnelossi vs Loopy

Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 5 Perfect, 630 Points   |   Tied for 508th

Right now the TAP community is edging Carnelossi a little over Loopy despite the Vegas odds being the other way.

I don't have a preference or fave, but I would like to know the thinking behind this informed groups vote agains the odds.

What advantages does Carnelossi have and why she will win etc???

Thanks in advance
