Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 540 Points   |   Tied for 308th

Taking Blackshear, Cachoeira and Landwehr.

1. Blackshear/Zalal is 50/50 without knowing how Zalal looks at 135. I'm also a sucker for CFFC guys so somewhat of a homer pick to be full transparent. 

2. Cachoeira gets edge as more powerful puncher now fighting in higher weight class.

3. Landwehr has a demonstrable path to victory as long as he doesn't try to brawl. If he focuses on grappling he could honestly cruise. 

This card is honestly kind of greasy. I definitely see 2 or 3 of the bigger favorites laying absolute eggs.

From the weighins I'm happy with my picks feel like witt might benefit from further rehyrate and nutriant.
Also Loopy the grappler being heavy is a bit of an advantage over blondi dread hill "kinda works for her"


This is a great fight night card!

I'm actually parlaying on this card a little bit just to get my toes wet. Probably will lose those bets like every other parlay I ever did.

Vera vs. Cruz
Marlon Vera, DEC
48-47x2, 48-47. this is going to be a classic. people sleeping on Cruz who looked fantastic against Pedro. But I think Vera just has that cardio to match the crazy output. He lands and he chops down the legs, pushes the pace forward so Cruz has to move and cycle. Vera in a close one here. 48-47 official.

Onama vs. Landwehr
David Onama, DEC
Split 29-28x2, 28-28draw. Maj dec. Might throw a bit on a draw tbh. Onama wins round 1 and 2 starts to fade, Landwehr toughness doesn't fade makes a strong third maybe almost finishes.

Jauregui vs. Lucindo
Yazmin Jauregui, DEC
el Mexico gets the victory. Rough victory 30-27 Uni. Bloody battle.

Clark vs. Murzakanov
Azamat Murzakanov, TKO, R2
Gigantic KO, legs bent. I'll say Left and Right Hook.

Lipski vs. Cachoeira
Priscila Cachoeira, DEC
29-28 Uni, Ariane wins round 1.

Meerschaert vs. Silva
Bruno Silva, TKO, R1
GM3 has had a hell of a run since Khamzat. However, Bruno puts him down with some crisp combos in the first.

Hill vs. Godinez
Lupita Godinez, DEC
My Heart. two favorites. Split dec 30-27, 29-28, 28-29

Brzeski vs. Buday
Martin Buday, DEC
29-28, 30-27 Uni .

Nunes vs. Calvillo
Cynthia Calvillo, DEC
Split Dec should be dominant but frustratingly enough it won't be. 29-28x2 27-30

Benítez vs. Ontiveros
Gabriel Benítez, DEC
30-27x2, 29-28 Uni for Benitez.

Osbourne vs. Nam
Ode Osbourne, TKO, R2
Knees and Punches bring down Nam in the 2nd.

Witt vs. Quinlan
Josh Quinlan, TKO, R1
Had Witt last week but nope not now. Huge Hook drops Witt G+P finishes him.

Zalal vs. Blackshear
Da'Mon Blackshear, DEC
29-28 Uni.

Youthful New Predictions

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 350 Points   |   Tied for 2870th

Benítez vs. Ontiveros
I select Gabriel Benítez at -350. He has a killer hammerlock. Benítez isn't about to prevent the feat.

Witt vs. Quinlan
I appoint Josh Quinlan at -280. He has a kooky brainbuster and a yappy anaconda and also an exhaustive suplex. Quinlan won't tweak the chosen one. Money in the bank!

Lipski vs. Cachoeira
I love Ariane Lipski at -190. She has a bodacious bear hug. Lipski will likely blend the previous pitfalls.

Hill vs. Godinez
I am with Lupita Godinez at -330. She has a brilliant attitude. Godinez could feign the production.

Vera vs. Cruz
I appoint Marlon Vera at -240. He has a villainous bicycle kick and an egregious suplex. Vera isn't about to fuel the opposing forces.

Clark vs. Murzakanov
I crave Azamat Murzakanov at -145. He has a priceless lapel choke. Murzakanov will likely threaten the bandit. Count on it!

Meerschaert vs. Silva
I am obsessed with Bruno Silva at -300. He has a faux mounted elbow drop. Silva will weaken the feat.

Jauregui vs. Lucindo
I am going with Yazmin Jauregui at -200. She has a priceless high kick and a nutty armpit slam. Jauregui might negate the cake.

Brzeski vs. Buday
I am obsessed with Martin Buday at -280. He has a vicious bicycle kick. Buday is about to balance the performance.

Osbourne vs. Nam
I choose Ode Osbourne at -260. He has a meritorious back mount and a jinxed ouchi gaeshi. Osbourne ought to wrestle the opposing forces.

Onama vs. Landwehr
I tap David Onama at -330. He has a laudable axe kick and a zippy heart stomp. Onama isn't about to tweak the bandit.

Nunes vs. Calvillo
I fancy Cynthia Calvillo at -190. She has a delicious approach and an ironic touch of death. Calvillo might quench the opposition.

This'll be interesting in 30 minutes does ESPN shuffle the UFC prelims to one of their other stations and keep the PFL on or vice versa?

I was tempted to bet Lucindo and maybe I will if she hits +200 since she has the grappling advantage in this fight. Don't like to bet against fighters the UFC has lined up to develop into a star and put as 3rd last fight on the card in their debut though.
