Sato vs. Battle
Bryan Battle, TKO, R2
Man a 77 inch reach at Welterweight is gonna be tremendous. And even though the records show Bryan likes the Sub game as his path to victory for the most part, we seen he's capable of making contact standing up as well the last fight against Gore. I say beat Saito at his own game and be the first to know him out in seven years!

Really did not like the way Luque looked against Belal. Had him hurt multiple times but couldn’t seem to step on the gas. Like he was in slow motion. Neal beats that guy up. If it’s the old Luque he wins easily. Seems like a stay away.

Lol battle is not as good as you guys think he is

Witt vs. Quinlan
Josh Quinlan, TKO, R2
The chinny gorilla. Quinlan wins this juice or no juice tbh. He actually doesn’t look like a bad fighter

McKenna vs. Granger
Miranda Granger, DEC
McKenna is terrible no way she’s gonna be able to deal with 10 inches of reach. She’s also lost to two of the worst girls on the roster (Hansen fight was a bad decision)

Bueno Silva vs. Egger
Mayra Bueno Silva, DEC
Actually an interesting fight

Miller vs. Walker
Juliana Miller, DEC
Idk both girls not very good. Miller has no skill outside of bjj; she just bum rushes you. Brogan is not very good and kind of limited. Also has a knee injury that she may still be dealing with. Miller is terrible

Sakai vs. Spivak
Sergey Spivak, SUB, R1
I feel like Sakai could maybe make this more competitive but I think spivak just mauls him

Lipski vs. Cachoeira
Ariane Lipski, TKO, R2
Pretty sure catch a beating is gonna get her ass kicked here. Badly

Oleksiejczuk vs. Alvey
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R1
Lowkey scared michal has a bad cut or misses weight. Only way he loses this fight

I also think Pauga get the decision easy. Mohamed Usman was beated up in PFL and only get close win in TUF.

Stats are a secondary resource for me to cap a fight but McKinneys stats are unreal. 4.11 strikes landed to 1.77 absorbed with 59% strike accuracy, 4.84 TDs per 15 with 44% accuracy, 100% TDD with 1.2 sub attempts per 15. That's fighting Woodson, Frevola, Ziam and Dober. No bums in that crowd.

He gassed vs Dober but I think that was a good learning experience for him. Not sure why he's taking a huge step down in competition from his Dober fight, maybe the UFC wants to make sure he doesn't get two Ls in a row by throwing him against another good fighter right away.

Not that Gonzalez is complete trash but he should be heavilly outmatched here as the ridiculous line correctly indicates.
I wont touch this fight but I will keep an eye on the cardio on McKinney if Gonzalez does the unexpected and survives to get into 2nd and 3rd rounds with him.

Aight, McKinney is a highly gifted athletic freak. But he has the fight IQ of a silverback gorilla that’s undergone it’s third lobotomy. The UFC isn’t pulling for him here or giving him special treatment to get a W. I think they are taking his body of work as a whole and giving him someone who is probably in his tier. Like just look at Minner’s level in the UFC and then consider that McKinney gift wrapped his neck in a triangle for Minner. 

That said McKinney in Rd 1 should be like -600 because he’s gonna basically nuke Gonzalez with a right hand that might be genuinely mistaken for a MOP bunker buster.

I wouldn’t say gonzalez is in McKinneys tier, but I do get what you’re saying. McKinney is a very skilled fighter and he’s not just a brawler; he can wrestle at a pretty high level too and has submissions. His problem is pacing; if he toned it down just 30-40%, I think he would be a top 15 talent. He doesn’t need to go in guns blazing, he hits so hard he can ko someone with one shot. His main training partner saidyokub has no gas problems; he should take a note out of his book

I think he’s skilled and talented everywhere. But I think his maturity and response to situations in the cage are very lacking. I’m not trying to imply he’s just a brawler. I think he can finish many people or decision them using a wide variety of skills, I just think he puts himself in situations to get finished chasing the W. Like A LOT. I think the gas tank issue was reflective of that same nature.

Ahh okay that makes sense. I respect his commitment to making the fight exciting but he’s gonna have to fight more focused and calm when he moves up the ladder. He should take a page out of Alves’s book and fight to where he lulls the opponent into thinking he’s not gonna do anything, and then explode in short bursts. I think that would be very beneficial to him

Poor Marreta, he should retire after this

Luque vs. Neal
Vicente Luque, DEC
My boy Luque had a bad performance in his last fight and I don’t know what to attribute it too. But I think he is better than Geoff anywhere the fight goes

Sato vs. Battle
Takashi Sato, DEC
I have a feeling Sato is gonna get paced and controlled for 3 rounds. Technique wise he is better but sometimes that doesn’t matter

McKenna vs. Granger
Miranda Granger, DEC
Reminds me of Bohm and Leonardo. I went with Leonardo and switched my pick to Bohm, I’m sticking with my original pick on this one
