Predictions: 6 of 10 Winners, 1 Perfect, 340 Points | Tied for 4185th
Charles Oliveira, SUB, R2
Islam will come out strong, looking to dictate, Charles will land a bomb likely early, hurt Islam enough to shoot, and that is when the fight starts. I think Charles survives Islam's wrestling with enough to keep Islam thinking, and not get finished, if Moises can get to championship rounds with Islam, then Charles can get passed round 1. Round 2, Charles strong pressure, hurts Islam either drops him, or Islam shoots, and then Charles finds a sub over a hurt Makhachev.
Sterling vs. Dillashaw
Aljamain Sterling, SUB, R4
I thought TJ could win this, then I saw Also winning wrestling rounds over Yan, and I know TJ's wrestling is good, but overall I think he's too old and not durable enough to go those later rounds with strong prime talent, he struggled badly against Sandhagen (no shame) and Aljo got Corey out in one round, Aljo will win wrestling rounds, decent enough striking, as shown against Pedro, so he will likely edge the fight, until TJ slows, where he eventully finds a sub.
Yan vs. O'Malley
Petr Yan, DEC
Yan starts slow, Suga starts strong, Suga wins round 1, with distance striking, Yan closes the distance and lands inside the pocket, and maybe gets some grappling in enough to win 29-28 or a random 30-27. No KO's and No finishing, people are underestimating Sean I think, Sean's good enough to be tricky for top 5 guys, but I think that's his ceiling at the moment, I don't see him beating top 5 guys.
Dariush vs. Gamrot
Mateusz Gamrot, TKO, R2
Benny has hands, and good grappling, but Gamrot is slick and his style, like most of the upcoming LW's like Arman, Damir and Guram, he'll get a KO over Benny in round 2, Benny has been proven he doesn't have the best chin.
Chookagian vs. Fiorot
Katlyn Chookagian, DEC
3 things in life are certain. Death, Taxes and Chookagian Decisions.
Muhammad vs. Brady
Belal Muhammad, DEC
Belal proves time again he's a superb grappler, and against Luque he proved he has decent range and striking, with enough to last against top strikers, Brady is good, but he's a wrestler, Belal is more well-rounded, he will win a decision and should get a title shot.
Muradov vs. Borralho
Caio Borralho, DEC
A tentative bout, that will open up further in the fight, I think Mach got exposed by GM3, if you start strong and keep going, he'll fade, he does end up getting round 3 KO's, but that's against low opposition in the MW division, imo Caio is a top 15 guy, so I think he won't get caught at all, and will steal a decision.
Mokaev vs. Gordon
Muhammad Mokaev, SUB, R2
Mokaev is the future, I think Gordan will be enough work to not get done in the first, but will in the 2nd or 3rd, but I'll trust Mokaev can get it done in 2.
Oezdemir vs. Krylov
Nikita Krylov, TKO, R2
Krylov has hands, so does Volkan, but Volkan has been known to get hurt with constant pressure, and with Nikita's performance over Gus, I think he'll walk Volk down and weather the round 1 storm that is No Time, and catch him in Round 2.
Porter vs. Trabelsi
Slim Trabelsi, TKO, R2
Slim seems dangerous, good finishing, and will be looking to make an impression, like Hanby, he will come in strong and will get that strong debut he's looking for.

Charles Oliveira, TKO, R2
Oliveira is soooo good and I can’t believe so many ppl r still doubting him
Dariush vs. Gamrot
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
Gamrot lost to Arman, I think this will end up being a standup fight gamrot has good tdd, and he’s clean on the feet I think he edges it, I pray dariush wins tho give this man his title shot
Mokaev vs. Gordon
Muhammad Mokaev, SUB, R1
Gordon isn’t good
Nurmagomedov vs. Omargadzhiev
Abubakar Nurmagomedov, DEC
Gadzhi omargadzhiev didn’t look good vs Caio borralho he got destroyed

I do think Krylov is better then his record say, He just got caught by Craig, And was in close fight with Glover and Magomemed, I just find that more impressive then beating fighter who shouldn't be fighting anymore
