Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 590 Points | Tied for 67th
Brian Ortega, SUB, R2
My opinion hasn’t changed up on this one, I think with the way Holloway took down Yair I’m pretty sure Ortega can do the same. Obviously this fight is close and I wouldn’t be surprised with a Yair win, I just think Ortega is better in his field
Waterson vs. Lemos
Amanda Lemos, DEC
Lemos is a tough fight for anyone in the division. Her striking is nice, one thing about Karate Hottie is she takes damage like a champ. Still won’t save her from losing a UD
Li vs. Salikhov
Jingliang Li, TKO, R2
Hoping for a nice KO for The Leech. I’m a big fan of his, as long as it’s a good fight I won’t mind. Salikhov is known for his point fighting so hopefully that won’t be the case here
Schnell vs. Sumudaerji
Sumudaerji, TKO, R1
Schnell by Sub isn’t a bad pick here, however Su’s striking combined with Matt’s suspect chin will ultimately end in a KO imo
Burgos vs. Jourdain
Shane Burgos, DEC
The 2nd best fight on the card imo, at least in entertainment value. I got my money on Burgos eating the shots and maintaining a killer pace to outpoint Charles
Murphy vs. Tate
Lauren Murphy, DEC
Biggest oof on the card. Penne and Ducote will be much more entertaining than this one imo. I got Murphy by Split Dec

Yair Rodriguez, DEC
I can't believe you guys picking Ortega. He cant take people down. Yair is just gonna peace him apart.
Waterson vs. Lemos
Amanda Lemos, TKO, R1
Karate Hottie is not that bad. But Lemos got good straight punches amd power. I think Lemos is gonna TKO Waterson.
Li vs. Salikhov
Muslim Salikhov, DEC
It's gonna be boring. Chinese guy cant beat kung fu master.
Schnell vs. Sumudaerji
Sumudaerji, DEC
Schnel is so bad.
Burgos vs. Jourdain
Shane Burgos, DEC
I think this one is gonna be fun. I pick Burgos not just because I will be rooting for him. I pick Burgos because he's bigger and more durable fighter.
Murphy vs. Tate
Lauren Murphy, DEC
I think Tate a bit better but she is washed up.
Soriano vs. Lungiambula
Punahele Soriano, DEC
So 3z 4 Puna
Simón vs. Shore
Jack Shore, DEC
Shore is more well rounded fighter
Quarantillo vs. Algeo
Billy Quarantillo, DEC
Should be ez win for Quarantillo.
Jacoby vs. Jung
Dustin Jacoby, DEC
Jacoby is better kickboxer
Grant vs. Stoltzfus
Dwight Grant, DEC
Stolfuz is so bad
Rowe vs. Nurmagomedov
Philip Rowe, DEC
abubakar Nurmagamabamedov is overrated
Penne vs. Ducote
Emily Ducote, DEC
Should be ez 4 ducote

1 of the best fightNights ever. Seems a ppv, considering the amount of great matchups and future champs

Yair Rodriguez, DEC
Would it be wrong to label this a kind of striker vs grappler matchup? While Brian's standup has improved remarkably (helped by his uncanny timing for spinning ****) his kickboxing game is nowhere near Yair's. Same can be said about Rodriguez's grappling when compared to T-City's. Ultimately I'm torn, as while I'm leaning a Yair UD, Ortega's ability to snatch a sub from anywhere is second to none except maybe Charles Oliveira and is the true X factor in this matchup. So **** it, double spinning elbow KO
Li vs. Salikhov
Muslim Salikhov, DEC
Finally, The King of Kung Fu is back in the octagon!
Burgos vs. Jourdain
Shane Burgos, DEC
blood for the blood god
Murphy vs. Tate
Miesha Tate, DEC
Expect Miesha to fight Valentina for the belt in November if she pulls this one off
Simón vs. Shore
Jack Shore, DEC
This fight really goes to show you can't make a bad fight in the 135 pound rankings, just ludicrously talented all the way down
Quarantillo vs. Algeo
Billy Quarantillo, DEC
Billy Q's been one of the understated action stars of the COVID-era UFC, and put on a sleeper FOTY contender with Hurricane Shane back in MSG last year. IMO he outworks Algeo handily in this one
Jacoby vs. Jung
Dustin Jacoby, DEC
Dustin's been on a nice streak lately, and (this is from the hip) should have much better striking than Jung to round things out. I'm expecting another solid UD
Burns vs. Askhabov
Khusein Askhabov, TKO, R2
Call me crazy but I'm sticking with the popular pick of the 23-0 Russian dude
Rowe vs. Nurmagomedov
Philip Rowe, TKO, R1
I'm riding with the Fresh Prince on this one and eschewing my normal adherence to the "Magomed = Money" Principle. He's got hands and great Jiu Jitsu, hope he cinches it

And the most important thing is that Max, Zombie and Volk takedown defence is better then Yair

Why is Abubakar the underdog?
Predictions: 5 of 10 Winners, 1 Perfect, 305 Points | Tied for 2675th
Phil has strong hands and some underrated clinch work, but that’s about it. His takedown defense and overall grappling defense is serviceable, but nothing that will keep his head above water when grappling with Abubakar.
Phil has also gotten his matchups spoon-fed to him. Orion Cosce frankly doesn’t deserve to be in the roster bad has atrocious standup defense, and Jason Witt has a seriously ****** glass jaw, so of course Phil’s heavy hitting style benefitted him greatly. Unfortunately for Phil, Abubakar is a far better striker than the both of them.
I dunno about you guys, but this comes off like Death Row matchmaking. Actually, let Phil stay the underdog, I like getting paid more for less effort
