Montel is a 30 yrs" young guy"....
The most toughest fight to predict on this card is
1)Karolina vs silviana...two 37 yrs young ladies
2)Frankie vs Chris....one 41 yrs young stud with most wins in this card after dustin vs an upcoming guy....
Good luck...everyone

Azaitar by devastating KO.

Montel Jackson, DEC
I think Montel Jackson wins with his well rounded skills.

Spann vs Reyes
Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 1 Perfect, 520 Points | Tied for 1358th
This guy Reyes has been brutally KO'd twice in a row, and you're going to trust him to fight someone with power? I saw someone say, "he really isn't even a KO threat".
He's a large african-american man, he has a KO AND submission threat...Especially against a guy who most likely has a diminished chin from being absolutely smashed out twice in a row. 17 out of his 20 wins are by finish, but yeah, he doesn't have a threat there...😄
"Throwing the house on Reyes"...Like, what?!
And it's these people who are always talking about how good they are at handicapping and their pick percentages. You sound like fools and this is going to be another one of those fights where you're going to look foolish when/if Spann starches this guy.
I'll say it again, Alhamdulilah to you all with that pick.

I think RDA vs Moicano was one of the worst beatdown in UFC history, Worst beatdown this year for sure, One of the few fight you fell uncomfortable watching, This is what Moicano look like afterward

In the betting world of MMA, this is where people lose the most. They want to believe what happened last time out is the most likely outcome of what could happen this time. If there's one thing I've learned, be careful with recentcy bias in ANY sport, but MMA definitely...
I'm being an idiot by saying what I did about Reyes, because you could say the same thing there. People are going to think he's chinny and damaged goods. But then he'll come out looking durable and tough and win the fight. I could see it just based on what I'm trying to say, and that's recentcy bias!
Same thing with Moicano, people are going to think he's damaged goods, so they'll take Riddell in an instant. But what have we really seen from Riddell? He's lost 2 in a row.
This is a really tough fight to pick for me. Both good fighters, whoever's better on that night will win.

You sound like you're 15 just going through puberty with how you act. I forgot how easy it is to just block people on this site, good riddance.
Reading things you had to say on here basically made me lose IQ anyway...

Carlos Ulberg, TKO, R1
As long as Ulberg doesn't engage in a brawl with Nico like he did Nzechukwu, I'd expect it to be an easy night for him.

She did struggle with the stand up against JJ Aldrich.
Wouldn't be surprised if she gets some wrestling in but Molly wins by decision due to damage. These judges are bastards now.
Weili Zhang is a much safer pick.

Israel Adesanya, TKO, R2
This is a massive toss up. I think Pereira is gonna make a mistake being too aggressive like Whittaker and get caught with a shot that puts his lights out. I really do hope Izzy gets flatlined though.
Esparza vs. Zhang
Weili Zhang, TKO, R2
Zhang should be able to stuff the takedowns fairly well, and Esparza has nothing for Zhang on the feet. Zhang should get it done before this fight's halfway point.
Poirier vs. Chandler
Michael Chandler, TKO, R1
I think these 2 men will be prepared for war, but I see Chandler landing a bomb in the first couple of minutes that crumbles Poirier.
Edgar vs. Gutierrez
Frankie Edgar, DEC
Yeah Edgar has not won a fight in a while, and you could even argue he lost to Munhoz, but this is a massive step up for Gutierrez. I think the lights will be too bright and Edgar will finish his career with a massive statement win.
Hooker vs. Puelles
Claudio Puelles, DEC
Hooker has looked atrocious in his last 4 outings, even in victory against Haqparast. I think Puelles should win a fairly easy decision, using his grappling to neutralize Hooker's striking offense.
Moicano vs. Riddell
Brad Riddell, DEC
This should be a war, I think Riddell will bounce back from his skid, defend the takedowns and land efficiently on the feet to win a great fight.
Reyes vs. Spann
Dominick Reyes, TKO, R1
Reyes is gonna come back with a vengeance, and Spann's chin is notoriously awful.
Blanchfield vs. McCann
Erin Blanchfield, SUB, R1
Blanchfield is a prospect to watch, should be a quick submission or an extremely dominant decision, I'll go with the former.
Petroski vs. Turman
Andre Petroski, DEC
All of these guys' UFC wins are no longer with the company, so this should be a real test for both fighters. I think Petroski takes it as I've been way more impressed with his wins.
Azaitar vs. Frevola
Matt Frevola, TKO, R1
I think Frevola will capitalize on Azaitar's long layoff and get him out of there early with some GnP.
Kowalkiewicz vs. Juárez
Silvana Gómez Juárez, DEC
Karolina looked great her last time out, but I think Silvana lands early and just grinds out the rest of the fight from there.
Trizano vs. Choi
Seung Woo Choi, DEC
Trizano hasn't shown me anything that would me to believe he can beat somebody like Choi, so I'll go with Choi.
Arce vs. Jackson
Montel Jackson, DEC
I think Jackson will outwork Arce with some crisp striking and maybe some wrestling as well.
