Prediction Comments
Predictions: 6 of 14 Winners, 2 Perfect, 350 Points | Tied for 4208th
Alex Pereira, DEC
49-46, 48-47, 47-48 Split but Alex gets it done. Hope this fight is awesome.
Esparza vs. Zhang
Weili Zhang, TKO, R3
Ground and pound finish, out on a limb and say the champ gets mounted by crucifix.
Poirier vs. Chandler
Michael Chandler, DEC
29-28 Uni. Chandler fights his gameplan and has his eyes set on this division not Conor McGregor.
Edgar vs. Gutierrez
Frankie Edgar, DEC
29-28x2 28-29 Split dec for The Answer.
Hooker vs. Puelles
Claudio Puelles, SUB, R3
Rear Naked choke in round 3 as Hooker gets caught in multiple takedowns this fight.
Moicano vs. Riddell
Brad Riddell, DEC
30-27x2 29-28x1 Uni.
Reyes vs. Spann
Dominick Reyes, TKO, R2
It's time for Reyes to come back. Spann gets launched by a huge right hand, and hits the canvas.
Blanchfield vs. McCann
Erin Blanchfield, DEC
Great fight, some will side with Molly post-dec. I say SPLIT 29-28x2 28-29 but good win for Erin.
Petroski vs. Turman
Andre Petroski, SUB, R1
Rear Naked Choke on first ground hit.
Azaitar vs. Frevola
Ottman Azaitar, TKO, R1
1st round domination, huge combos bulldozees over Frevola.
Kowalkiewicz vs. Juárez
Karolina Kowalkiewicz, DEC
30-27x2 29-28x1 Uni.
Trizano vs. Choi
Seung Woo Choi, TKO, R2
A huge hook sends Trizano down, Seung follows up with hefty GnP. ref steps in saving a KO.
Arce vs. Jackson
Montel Jackson, DEC
30-27x3 Uni. Montel until late 3rd round Julio turns it up and causes a scare.
Ulberg vs. Negumereanu
Nicolae Negumereanu, DEC
Split 30-27, 29-28, 28-29

How is it that all the so called MMA fans on here don't understand the difference between MMA and Kickboxing?
Some real low IQ people on here is all I can say

If you use your brain you can than draw parallels to the mma record you speak of, 7 fights vs loads. same variables as kickboxing matchup i mentioned.. sad i have to spell simple things out for you.

Same variables here which is what makes it interesting..
Izzy has experience and Alex is still a noob damn near in MMA so of course izzy is "better" but we will see tomorrow. If alex beats him than overnight he is "better", regardless of the experience

In their second fight he was starting to break Perreira until the KO happened. I think that's why Perreira is refering to the KO again and again, other than to get into Izzys head if he can, he can't very well say "watch our last two fights" as anyone with a brain can see that Izzy was the overall better fighter both times.

Most of you obviously have Martial arts backgrounds and are probably experienced in combat.
That's the reason you all have CTE
