Oleksiejczuk vs. Alvey
Sam Alvey, TKO, R2
I'm gonna take the flier on this one... hell I might even throw $10 on it. Michal destroys Sam the first round, he somehow gets out of it, and lights Michal up beginning of round two for the surprise TKO... I can see it now, mouths dripping, all the critics behind the scenes kissing their own asses... lol. 😂 if not then Sam really needs to FINALLY ride off into the sunset.

Santos vs. Hill
Jamahal Hill, TKO, R1
Santos has an amazing chin but this is where, at 205, I think it gets cracked. Hill's precision and his power go together very well and he's extremely mobile for a guy as big as he is. Terrible combination for Santos, who struggles with movement and fighters with good movement.
Luque vs. Neal
Vicente Luque, SUB, R1
Luque is possibly undervalued on the odds here. Neal didn't look great against Santiago, and although Luque lost to Belal, there's a decent case for Belal being a top 5 welterweight right now. Worlds apart in competition compared to Ponzinibbio.
Oleksiejczuk vs. Alvey
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R1
Honestly surprised me to see how young Michal is. Feels like he's been around forever; you wouldn't expect him to be 27. Either way, don't know why Alvey is still with the UFC. I could speculate but that's not worth it. Michal by brutal KO
Sato vs. Battle
Takashi Sato, DEC
Underdog pick. Battle's striking isn't great, but Sato's tdd can be atrocious sometimes. That being said, I think Sato should work him on the feet.

Judging by your rant I can see you tried to tail my picks and got made when you got them wrong. Try actually making your own dumbass. I know you don’t know anything so you need to tail others tho 💋

Predictions: 6 of 10 Winners, 1 Perfect, 365 Points | Tied for 2672nd
Santos vs. Hill
Jamahal Hill, DEC
Hoping for another good week to follow up last week. This card is a little tougher to predict but I think I have a handle on most of it. Here's hoping! Main event - since Santos's injury he just has not looked the same. Tentative, slower, less willing to engage. And I think Hill will bring it to him and put it on him. I don't think Hill will stay on the ground after what happened with Craig and I've heard his get up game is good, even if he gets taken down. I think volume and pace will be too much and though a lot is made of Hill's power I actually think he is more a volume striker and Santos is durable so I see this going longer, likely even to decision.
Luque vs. Neal
Vicente Luque, DEC
This could be closer than expected. Unlikely to hit the ground but if it does then Luque has the better BJJ. But on the feet I think Luque has the edge with more varied strikes. There was a time when people thought he would challenge for the belt and I think he is still a top contender. Neal I am not so sure tbh since coming back from his medical issues. I could be wrong about this one but I am siding with Luque.
Pauga vs. Usman
Zac Pauga, DEC
I have only watched one fight of Usman in Bellator and never ever want to see him fight again. So sorry I did not watch tape for this and don't plan to so I may get this wrong. But I do not rate Usman at all and think his gas tank and fight IQ is dog****. That said he trains with the best team and this is HW so who knows. I think Zac will be much smaller and will depend on wrestling but I am picking him over that guy. I don't care if I get this wrong.
Miller vs. Walker
Brogan Walker, DEC
Brogan seems to be better everywhere and could be a real prospect in the making. Miller seems to depend mainly on her ground game and submissions but has fought nowhere near the same level of competition. Brogan also has a win over Maverick which I rate.
Sakai vs. Spivak
Sergey Spivak, TKO, R2
Sakai could be dangerous in round 1 and if Spivak gasses but he is so slow. I expect Spivak to put him on the fence, chain wrestle him and take him down and then pound him out. Pretty confident in this one but Spivak has been know to **** the bed occasionally.
Lipski vs. Cachoeira
Ariane Lipski, DEC
This a bit of a no brainer. The gorgeous Lipski should absolutely light up Cachabeating from distance and smash her on the feet and on the ground, Better everywhere including in the looks department. You know who the UFC wants to promote.
Oleksiejczuk vs. Alvey
Michał Oleksiejczuk, DEC
I am a little worried about this fight with Michael being much smaller. But he should be faster too. The odds are completely ridiculous and I'd advise anyone betting to stay away, we don't really know what Alvey has left in the tank and he is fighting for his career. I am not sure that Michal is as good as he is made out to be. Picking him but be careful with him in parlays.
McKinney vs. Gonzalez
Terrance McKinney, TKO, R1
Gonzales is not a bad fighter, but needs space and distance. He does not do well when pressured and crowded. And I wonder what McKinney is going to do...
Sato vs. Battle
Bryan Battle, DEC
I see a lot of people on Sato, not really sure why. Battle should take him down and piece him up easily over 3 rounds. Sato's only hope in my view is a punchers chance, can't rule it out but don't think its that likely.
Witt vs. Quinlan
Josh Quinlan, TKO, R1
Dangerous fight to pick because I don't know enough about Quinlan, but the one thing I do know is Witt has no chin and Josh has power. If at any point in the 15 minutes he catches Witt I think it's over, wheras Witt will have to grind him out for the whole 15. I think Josh catches him at some point.
McKenna vs. Granger
Cory McKenna, SUB, R2
Granger is back after a long break. And even though McKenna fought the stupidest game plan in the history of MMA in her last fight (apart from the genius that is Jared Vanderaa vs Chase Sherman) I don't think the same mistake will be made twice. Sure Granger has a huge reach advantage but that's not going to help when she is horizontal and I see McKenna getting in close and taking her down and controlling her till she gets a sub.
Bueno Silva vs. Egger
Stephanie Egger, SUB, R3
Egger's Judo is too good and she is too strong. Her striking isn't bad either. She will get it down to the ground at some point and then Silva will be on her back for the rest of the round I am guessing. Will also likely begin to gas out and I could see a late submission/TKO for Egger.

Cory McKenna vs Miranda Granger
Cory McKenna, DEC
The one fight on the card where its an absolute toss up, the reach advantage for Granger is a red flag for me but funnily enough I have not seen the striking credentials from her that she even knows how to use it. The wrestling from Mckenna will be a big advantage for her in this fight, I just hope the size of Granger doesn't intimidate Mckenna. The jiu jitsu advantage definitely goes to Granger but I believe even at such a young age she has a good enough fight IQ to stay away from danger on the ground.

Santos vs. Hill
Jamahal Hill, TKO, R1
Santos and the apex mixes as well as Red Bull and Milk. He is more durable at 205 but I think Hill will not fear his power and ko Santos
Luque vs. Neal
Geoff Neal, DEC
In a 50/50 fight I'm going with the underdog
Pauga vs. Usman
Zac Pauga, DEC
Usman is trash
Miller vs. Walker
Brogan Walker, DEC
Walker has way more experience and has a win over Miranda maverick. She's somehow an underdog
Sakai vs. Spivak
Augusto Sakai, TKO, R3
Sakai has taken too much damage in his last 3 fights. I think spivak with take him down and elbow the **** out of him
Lipski vs. Cachoeira
Priscila Cachoeira, DEC
Lipski doesn't impress me at all. Losing to Antonina Shevchenko by ground and pound is like getting out grappled by wonderboy
Oleksiejczuk vs. Alvey
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R1
185 is the right division for Michal. There is no right division for Sam alvey he's trash
McKinney vs. Gonzalez
Terrance McKinney, TKO, R1
Have the stretcher ready cageside. This won't last a minute
Sato vs. Battle
Bryan Battle, SUB, R3
If Battle isn't too depleted from the weight cut he should win this. He's the bigger guy & and Sato struggles against grapplers
Witt vs. Quinlan

Witt has the worst chin in the UFC. Hopefully Quinlan doesn't gas out like most DWCS fighters
McKenna vs. Granger

Both trash I'm going underdog

Takashi Sato vs Bryan Battle
Bryan Battle, SUB, R2
I think Sato taking a lay off has actually made him much worse against Nelson he looked incredibly gun shy and that was against a Gunnar Nelson who took double the time of a lay off that Sato had. I believe Battle will dictate anywhere this fight goes using his kicks and movement also mixing in his take down's aswell. I just hope Battle has his weight cut dialed in for this fight coming down a weight class and won't affect his chin durability aswell. If Gunnar is able to take Sato's back then I believe Battle will too and succeed in a rear naked choke that Gunnar couldn't.

Just realized that a lot of fighters could be cut if they lose this Saturday. Cachoeira, Sakai, Alvey, Sato, and Witt are all on the verge of being cut this week IMO.

Mohammad Usman will win this fight because he's the brother of Kamaru Usman. Although he's been training with Julianna Peña, his brother will definitely help him get the big W and the contract.
