Marcos Vs Lewis
Predictions: 2 of 2 Winners, 0 Perfect, 100 Points | Tied for 983rd
Marcos has been missing for about 3 years. No one seems to know what he was doing all that time. He seems like a decent striker with good punches and kicks but the level of oposition? Fighting out of a Peruvian MMA promotion called Sparta 500 with pictures of Gerard Butler on their promotion logo does not fill me with confidence. Also when he gets put against the cage he cant seem to do much, even though his opponent looked very low level. Do not have a clue what he looks like now.
As for Lewis, it was obvious that the commentators were all biased towards him on his last DWCS where he got absolutely schooled with wrestling by Mo Miller. What does this guy do well? Leg kicks I guess. And he will be a better wrestler than Marcos but how much of a wrestler actually is he? He is also much shorter and has T-Rex arms. Striking looks semi decent but he just seems to punch air most of the time tbh. And he is very hittable. Not sure about his cardio either, seems to slow down.
This fight is a **** show. I think if it stays on the feet Lewis could get picked apart by the longer reach of Marcos, but if he wrestles he could win. I am picking Lewis just because he seems more well rounded,and pushes the pace and has a lot of heart, His fight against Meza was semi decent against an opponent with a 7 inch reach advantage. He also at least puts an effort in till the last bell. Neither look any good. Neither should be in the UFC unless they have improved dramatically.

Peek over Lewis. Lewis looks nice on film, I like his bounce and his swagger. BUT.. Lewis last sub victory is over a guy who has 3/5 losses by sub. His win before that against cruz , he showed dominance.. BUT Cruz is also a 5-3 guy with FOUR wins fighting people making their debut (0-0) and one person who was 0-2… His fight before that he took on a 1-8 opponent. I guess the thought is that Lewis will have the better wrestling.. but the only time we saw peek have to wrestle.. it was a fight at 180… this man went to war, and Ended up getting the ground and pound stoppage at 180.. so I’m not positive how Lewis will own him on the ground at 155. I could be wrong.

Picked him even though Ikram probably humps out a UD. He's boring as ****.

This is the fight that worries me about Peek the most.
I just hope Lewis doesn't try to stand to long with Peek Round 1, clinch and takedowns pls

Farid Basharat, DEC
Better fight than Farid's first fight, he still should win
Aliskerov vs. Sousa
Ikram Aliskerov, SUB, R1
Mismatch, Aliskerov is most likely the best fighter to appear so far this season
Lewis vs. Peek
Malik Lewis, TKO, R2
I've scouted Lewis in depth, he's good, really good
Brasil vs. Mann
Bruna Brasil, DEC
Who cares
Lewis vs. Marcos
Brandon Lewis, DEC
Doubt Marcos can win here, good record but bad layoff and poor level of comp
