I wouldn't recommend betting someone who can only fight for 3 minutes before gassing unless you get a good first round prop, I can't get behind first round gasser especially in a good division agaist anyone decent because it just don't work for long in the UFC, I really doubt Makwan finishes Shore before he implodes

this is why I can’t back santos. He’s really talented but super raw. Makes some dumb mistakes and puts himself in bad positions. Even though he won, he comprised himself badly in the second round when he didn’t need to. He was seconds from getting ko’ed in lfa too. Very talented kid with a bright future but I don’t think he’s ready for someone with this level of experience

That fight was long time ago, he looks way more composed in the Delano fight. The real thing is on the short notice and travelling to London, and the fight vs Murphy is his biggest test, but that factors could be key.

Oh damn I didn’t see it was three years old. Either way, he’s still making the same mistakes. Take the quarterfinal bout in lfa for example. He’s very talented but I think he needs to work on his defense a bit more to have success at this level. I’m not a big fan of his decision making either

No, for betting of course not, and too many ifs in that fight, short notice, jet lag, step up on competition.

It take a talented fighter for me to pick agaist Murphy, i think he at least top 20,  but I think he could be top 15 but I need to  think of the division to be 100% with that clame

Predictions: 11 of 15 Winners, 7 Perfect, 780 Points   |   Tied for 37th with 5 others

Edwards vs. Usman III
Leon Edwards
I buy into the fact that elevation played a huge role in Leon's performance last time. Also Usman hopefully won't get away with cheating this time, his hand and the cage are a match made in heaven.

Gaethje vs. Fiziev
Justin Gaethje, TKO, R3
I think Fiziev is going to get knocked out in a potential FOTY. I can't see you nearly losing to Bobby Green and then seeing you beat Gaethje on the feet.

Nelson vs. Barberena
Gunnar Nelson, SUB, R2
Bam Bam doesn't have that grappling, RDA might be an ex-champion but he's getting up in age and completely dominated that fight taking no damage.

Maia vs. O'Neill
Jennifer Maia, DEC
Did anyone who picked Casey actually watch her strike with Modaferri? lol.

Vettori vs. Dolidze
Marvin Vettori, DEC
ORK NEVER SUBMIT, NEVER BEEN SUBMITTED. MORDOR IS BACK ON THE RISE!

Shore vs. Amirkhani
Makwan Amirkhani, SUB, R1
I'm smoking something... yeah I can see this happening. The nonsense pick of the night.

Duncan vs. Morales
Chris Duncan, DEC
Duncan is tough, young, and active. Three things that based on Morales last 2 performances are missing in his game.

Patterson vs. Ashmoz
Sam Patterson, SUB, R2
I mean... the dudes a LW Volkov.

Mokaev vs. Filho
Muhammad Mokaev, DEC
Decision, Jafel is a tough SOB.

Murphy vs. Santos
Lerone Murphy, DEC
Santos is a great prospect but Murphy is going to get it done in the UK.

Duncan vs. Todorović
Christian Leroy Duncan, TKO, R1
PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE! DUSKO CRUMBLES UNDER POWER AND PRESSURE!

Hadley vs. Gordon
Jake Hadley, SUB, R1
Gordon, I appreciate the effort against Mokaev but the chin is still the Gordon chin.

Wood vs. Carolina
Joanne Wood, DEC
Wood lost to the champ, a contender who nearly beat valentina, and was robbed. She's got this.

Herbert vs. Klein
Jai Herbert, TKO, R2
Jai is taller, lankier, and hopefully does not get chinned.

Hardy vs. Miller
Juliana Miller, SUB, R2
Hardy, ya wifes in civillian mode now. She ain't built for this no more.

Predictions: 7 of 15 Winners, 3 Perfect, 480 Points   |   Tied for 3398th

Edwards vs. Usman III
Kamaru Usman, DEC
Here it is, what you all have been waiting for. My picks. Cannot even depend on Mezzors picks anymore. He got a pick correct last card. Anyway Usman isn't going to make the same mistake twice. He will get it down to the ground and keep it there

Gaethje vs. Fiziev
Rafael Fiziev, DEC
Gaethje is on the decline imo and his leg kick game should be handled by Fiziev

Nelson vs. Barberena
Gunnar Nelson, SUB, R2
If Gunnar can get it down he should get the sub

Maia vs. O'Neill
Jennifer Maia, DEC
I don't trust O'Niel. And Maia has proven herself. If Casey wins this then I will be on the hype train.

Vettori vs. Dolidze
Roman Dolidze, DEC
Close one

Predictions: 7 of 15 Winners, 3 Perfect, 480 Points   |   Tied for 3398th

Shore vs. Amirkhani
Makwan Amirkhani, SUB, R1
Shore is not as good as everyone thinks he is and Amirkhani is very dangerous until he gasses. There is a chance that Shore outlasts him but that's the way he wins imo. I think Amirkhani is both the better wrestler and grappler. I wish he had better cardio.

Duncan vs. Morales
Omar Morales, DEC
Duncan has to prove himself. Gets rocked every fight. If he can't win this one he doesn't belong. Morales isn't bad and has lost only to good fighters

Patterson vs. Ashmoz
Sam Patterson, DEC
I dunno about this one. Sam has bad striking defence and gets away with it because of his chin but he should win this. Ashmoz is no joke.

Mokaev vs. Filho
Muhammad Mokaev, DEC
Mokaev is not as good as he thinks he is. But even though Filho is good Mokaev should just out grapple him.

Murphy vs. Santos
Lerone Murphy, TKO, R1
Murphy is good.

Duncan vs. Todorović
Christian Leroy Duncan, TKO, R1
Duncan is good.

Hadley vs. Gordon
Jake Hadley, TKO, R2
2 x Men in Black rejects. Gordon is chinny AF but this is equal on the ground. That said Hadley should piece him up.

Wood vs. Carolina
Joanne Wood, DEC
Unless it's a robbery Joanne should win.

Herbert vs. Klein
Jai Herbert, DEC
Wow... tough tough call. If Herbert can avoid the left side strikes and not get chinned he can win this one. Klein has not yet won me over.

Hardy vs. Miller
Juliana Miller, TKO, R2
The UFC officially hates Dan Hardy

You could very well be right (and from past track record between the 2 of us you probably are right lol).

I just think Dolidze is more dangerous and definitely the far superior grappler. Not sure if he gets it to the ground though because Vettori is the better wrestler. As I said, close one

I say this, Don't be fooled by a split decsion in Casey last fight, Casey O'Neil got robbed of a 30-27 across the board against Moderferri, She out landed her 229 to 120 in significant strikes in  a fight which not a lot of grappling happen either, That **** is a clinic, I think the judge who gave it to Moderferii might have the worst MMA scorecard ever, Hope that guy never scores again

And 229 significant stikes is number 1 in Women UFC history, And  top 5 in UFC history,  Just to show how impresive 229 signifacant stikes

The judge that gave the fight to Modafferi is Robert Alexander, who was recently arrested for two sex related felonies involving children (sucked off a kid under 14 and touched another's balls).
