But C Rod is an excellent grappler himself. I will be very surprised if Rosas can submit him. And C Rod has much better boxing. If Rosas can't get it down to the ground he is going to get pieced apart.

I agree with you about the wrestling. And he will probably get C Rod down and try to control him. But it will definitely not be an easy win. Everyone is just jumping on the hype. Don't get me wrong, I think Rosas is good, especially for his age but C Rod is the best fighter he has ever come up against

If your betting the main event

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 365 Points   |   Tied for 3156th

If you’re thinking about betting the main then do it it right now, the line on Betway has been moving towards Pereira slowly throughout the week. I think most of the public will get paid end of this week and put their money on that Pereira line and by fight night I really think either the odds will close at pickem -115 n +105 or Pereira will be the slight favourite by then. Also I do see pereira getting another TKO win so prop TKO bet will be good play when the props come out

Font vs. Yanez
Adrian Yanez, TKO, R2
Font should be the better technical striker and can piece Yanez from the outside, but his chin is gone. He can't take the damage anymore. I expect Yanez to put the heat on him and get Font out of there.

"What an excellent day for combat."

I'm usually suspect of fighter under the age of 23 because it's usually don't go well for them and the exception are usually the all time greats of the sport, Raul Rosa is 18 and that makes me suspect of him even though he's a clear phenom of the sport, I think he could loss this because he so young

I'm against fighter being signed to the UFC with less then about 7 fights, Or younger then 22-23 unless they a clear phenom of the sport, I rather see them get experience before fighting the good fighters

 I think he wins but it won't be easy.

I guarantee he will go into celebrity boxing after he retires.

But if he wins there are some major title fight implications with either Leon or Colby.

If Pereira wins, who do y'all want him to fight next? Whittaker seems like the obvious choice IMO. 

If Adesanya wins, should there be a trilogy fight? Should he move up to Lightheavyweight and get a second chance at double champ status?

I think Whittaker deserves it.  What about Adesanya vs. Chimaev?

If Adesanya and Chimaev fought, I think Adesanya would get destroyed with ground and pound.

I want to see Perreria against anyone who can grapple, The best offensive grapple  he fought is either Adesanya or the greak guy who look like Stipe who I don't think won a fight in the UFC, I wouldn't mind to see Rob because I think  Rob is one of the best grappler in MMA history, Even tho I rate it highly for his takedown defence and his defence in general

But I wouldn't mind to see anyone with better offensive grappling then Adesayna, Just to prove my point, You can't tell me, Someone like Dricus couldn't Khabib Perrieria, Dricus is a good offensive grappler

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 400 Points   |   Tied for 2461st

Pereira vs. Adesanya II
Alex Pereira, TKO, R3
Adesanya dodged a lot of fight ending shots in the first fight, I think it's harder to be near perfect twice than a lot of people think and Alex is going to land earlier.

Burns vs. Masvidal
Gilbert Burns, SUB, R3
Gilbert is going to drown Jorge and sub him in the latter half of this fight.

Font vs. Yanez
Rob Font, DEC
Jab is gonna be the deciding factor in this.

Holland vs. Ponzinibbio
Santiago Ponzinibbio, TKO, R3
Alex Morono is underrated, even if Ponzi was losing that fight until the stoppage.

Rosas Jr. vs. Rodriguez
Raul Rosas Jr., SUB, R2
Rosas should win this but Christian is a young dude so he should last a bit longer than Jr's last opponent.

Gastelum vs. Curtis
Chris Curtis, TKO, R3
First and (probably last) time I'll pick Gastelum to lose by TKO.

Waterson-Gomez vs. Pinheiro
Luana Pinheiro, DEC
Going with tap on this one.

Williams vs. Sherman
Karl Williams, SUB, R1
Williams hopefully shows off his wrestling and has a statement making performance (not really, I mean it's Sherman).

Meerschaert vs. Pyfer
Gerald Meerschaert, SUB, R3
Always R3 Sub with the GOAT.

Calvillo vs. Godinez
Lupita Godinez, DEC
Loooooopy.

Ogden vs. Bahamondes
Ignacio Bahamondes, TKO, R3
Ogdens tough but Bahamondes has that crazy power until the 3rd so frick it, R3 stoppage.

Garcia vs. Nuerdanbieke
Steve Garcia, TKO, R2
Garcia dog SZN.

Hughes vs. Amorim
Jaqueline Amorim, SUB, R1
Hopefully R1 sub to start off the night great.
