Prediction Comments
Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 475 Points | Tied for 1604th
Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
Tough fight to predict, as both looks indestructible in their own weight class. Volkanovski already fought at lightweight (he even fought at welterweight!) where he looked great, but against mediocre competition. I would say that his skillset looks to be perfect to defend against Makhachev, but it's a fascinating fight. If he wins the lightweight title, what an ugly mess it would create though...
Rodriguez vs. Emmett
Yair Rodriguez, DEC
Yair doesn't get hit clean, and he has a great chin. He will probably dominate the 2 or 3 early rounds of action, but if Emmett can survive all the flying spinning backward elbows, the championship rounds will be interesting...
Pedro vs. Zhang
Tyson Pedro, TKO, R1
No disrespect to Zhang, but it's really time to give a(nother) chance at a ranked fighter for Pedro, who just ate alive his last two opponents in less than a round.
Tafa vs. Porter
Justin Tafa, DEC
Unranked heavyweight bouillabaisse.
Crute vs. Menifield
Jimmy Crute, TKO, R3
I was so high on Crute as he looked the part of a future contender in his 5 or 6 first UFC fights, but his recent losses are disapointing. Menifield looked improved recently, but he is a huge step down from Anthony Smith and Jamahal Hill though.
Haqparast vs. Mullarkey
Jamie Mullarkey, DEC
Mullarkey looks way better now than what we first expected, and quite the opposite could be said of Haqparast. It could be a competitive fight though, but Haqparast is not evolving much.

okay, volk had opponents that would be kickboxing with him more or less in last 4 years except t-city. i agree that islam is and will be toughest fighter that will be standing in front of him so far, but still.
if volk can keep up standing game he'll win. and screw this sh!t: ''islam is too big for volk.'' i have seen few people saying, damn.
