Full transparency: the only 3 fights I've picked the wrong winner of in the last two UFC events have all been WMMA so *** do I know.

Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 405 Points | Tied for 2382nd
Holly Holm, DEC
Thinking Holly will be able to keep the fight in her range and get it done.
Ponzinibbio vs. Pereira
Santiago Ponzinibbio, DEC
Similar storyline to Ponzi vs. Baeza. Pereira will win the first and I think Ponzi will battle back to edge out the 2nd and 3rd on at least 2 of the judges scorecards.
Njokuani vs. Todorovic
Chidi Njokuani, KO, R2
Dusko's striking defense is below average and that is not a good thing against Chidi's stone hands.
Ricci vs. Viana
Tabitha Ricci, DEC
50/50 fight, don't bet on it; I have no justification other than I think Ricci is gonna be on top more as Viana will be content to fight off her back and try to latch onto a limb.
Park vs. Anders
Jun Yong Park, DEC
Everytime I pick Anders as a dog he disappoints. The blueprint to beat him has been written, and it aligns perfectly with Park's style of fighting.
Holmes vs. Amedovski
Joseph Holmes, SUB, R3
Bottom of the barrel 185ers, I think if Holmes gets out of the first unscathed he'll use his wrestling to fatigue Alen and eventually latch onto his neck in the 3rd when he's gassed.
Porter vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, TKO, R2
The UFC must be really pissed that Porter is on a three fight win streak. Porter's tough, but I think he'll succumb to ground-and-pound in the second.
Morales vs. Medic
Omar Morales, TKO, R2
I have a rule to never trust people coming out of Alaska FC. Medic looked incredibly tired after half a round against Turner and I think Morales is gonna be able to make him quit against the cage in the 2nd.
Martinez vs. Morales
Jonathon Martinez, DEC
I think Martinez is just a bit better on the feet, and I think the majority of this fight will stay there. Vandetta is always a good dog though.
Hooper vs. Colares
Felipe Colares, DEC
Not a C-Hoop hater by any stretch but I think Colares matches him in the grappling and is way ahead on the feet. He'll be able to handle anything The Dream throws at him.
Reed vs. Hughes
Elise Reed, DEC
Was really impressed by Reed in her last fight and I don't think Hughes is UFC caliber by any means. Reed should be able to outpoint her in at least 2 of the 3 rounds and get the win.

I guess I'm just leaning Holmes 60/40 based on statistics, younger taller longer has fought recently etc. Might be a livebet in this one with both fighters having had poor gas tank in past fights.
Holmes emphasized that cardio was the most important ingredient in his training since the Pickett fight so that's good I guess. Still, listening to MMA fighters talk is not a good basis for betting.

Holly Holm, DEC
I don't think anyone who isn't someone I consider top 2, is going to beat holly even at 40. Remember when she was a pickem with aldana (who easily beat viera) because she was 38? Pepperage farm remembers. Viera needs to get takedowns to win, holly has good tdd and if taken down, unless most rounds, viera very inactives on top. Kinda wanna take holly to get a 2nd/3rd ko but I'll take the safer pick.
Njokuani vs. Todorović
Duško Todorović, DEC
Say it with me, recency bias. If he doesn't get a early ko of Marc, he probably gets grinded out to a dec. Exactly what I expect from dusko. I don't think chidi is knocking out dusko. Yeah, he kept his hands low, that's because his head movement was exemplary, in his recency fights he's gotten better at striking defense. And he is hittable I know don't get me wrong, but I think and hope dusko leans on grappling advantage at accrue a lot of control time. I think he either wins a decision based on that, or more time was spent with chidi winning at distance, but either way, unpopular I think it's going long and don't hate the gtd bet, although I'm not taking it myself since I'm limited to 6 props. See it as 50/50 tho depending who gets their game more. So with little other dogs I'm picking, rolling with dusko.
Holmes vs. Amedovski
Joseph Holmes, SUB, R1
So let's start with why the UFC wants holmes to get a win. Him and Ogden were the signees on the last looking with a fight. They both lost close decisions. Dana and the team don't wanna look like ******* idiots so they are giving Holmes a completely tailor made fight. Im not even going to waste time talking about how bad amen is. Barring a completely unexpected crazy improvements Holmes should finish this early. I'ma say head hick to club and Sub.

Jailton Almeida, SUB, R1
You guys are funny. Oh dude porter will be 40lbs+ bigger. He will also have 40lbs plus less muscle. As much as a lot of probably wanna believe it, parker being beyond obese doesn't help him here, other than him somehow landing on top in a scramble and just being a cement block for the round. But come on. Parker has beaten 3 people who most would put, as the literal worst 3 rostered ufc HWs. Here's another key thing. IN PORTERS 4 UFC FIGHTS, THERE HAS NOT HEEN 1 TAKEDOWN ATTEMPTED AGAINST HIM. jailton and his team know his potential and wouldn't risk his hype up 40lbs if they didn't know it wasn't a big risk. "Oh but he weighed in at 203 so I think he's not big" are you out of your ******* mind? Look at him. " But look he lost decisions so porter grinds him out" he also isn't cutting a massive amount of weight. Maybe he weighs in tomorrow at 212 and I look ********, but no ******* way. Porter is garbage and is only on a win streak because he fought worse garbage. Meanwhile Almeda is looking like a future contender. Almedia to finish porter faster than he did. Marquez.
