@JReynolds47   I borrowed a friend's time machine and it turns out old man McGee canoodles Brown on the cage and canvas for a Udec.

Brown retires post fight. I recorded the interview:

Yeah I can see where you are coming from with Pete, Levy definitely could get caught if he plays on the feet too long. I just have a feeling he will get this down to the ground with his wrestling which is decent, but we don't know much about Pete's ground game so thats an unknown. Tricky fight but I just feel that Levy has a good enough ground game to at least control Pete down there and preserve his gas tank.

What about the main event do you find worrying? You think Rozenstruik could catch Almeida? Definitely a chance I'd say but again I think Almeida shoots takedowns a lot and if he gets one it could be over fast.

The fight I am really not at all sure about is the Walker/Smith fight. I am really undecided, I could easily see Smith winning this but I have just not liked how he looked recently and the weight cut may be an issue for him. Also Walker is massive.

Yeah I get where you are coming from. The thing is I feel that Smith's main weapon is his jab and that Walker may actually be the better striker. His striking game seems to have evolved to a more safer method, just like Arlovski did with his suspect chin issues. He could definitely get caught but not sure that Smith is the one to do it unlike the harder hitters who put Walker out before.

@Noxx - you think Kim could finish Bohm? Hmmm, not sure I see it but it's WMMA. who the hell really knows

I don’t know if you can be so confident in McGee, they’re both old and both are past it

I fell like you can do something similar to  what I do with women MMA underdog spam with fight like these and be profitable

@DamienHandel420   I wouldn't say I'm confident in Ol' McGee. But his career resurgence has come against far stiffer comp than Brown's. He did get starched horribly in his last outing but that was against a young killer. Meanwhile Brown lost to Barbarena and hasn't won a fight since 2021.

I agree it's kind of a pickem but I lean McGee.

Cejudo vs Sterling wasn’t a robbery, it was a close ass decsion which you disagree with, neither man won 3 clear rounds , the clear round were round 1 and 4 was Sterling and round 5 Cejudo, 2 and 3 was so debatable either man could win them

I think for it to be a robbery, you have to win 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5 of the round clear, also don’t think it even qualify for bad decsion because it was so debatable, just because you disagree, doesn’t mean it a robbery

Henry won 3. And if everyone agrees that Henry won round 5 (which everyone except Derek Clearly does) then Henry 100% won according to the judges own scorecards

The only reason Henry lost was that one score card from a well known corrupt judge. How do you explain that huh? Just because you have a theory doesn't mean you are right. It's there in black and white. On the score cards.

Derek Clearly gave Aljo R5 and that lost Henry the fight. Robbery. I repeat, daylight Robbery. Can't help that you don't know how to count.

Henry got dominated. 4-1 for Sterling.  You're just comforting others for that false assurance with Henry. It's a mismatch actually.

Of course. Let me explain it to you. Because you obviously don't understand anything about MMA. I will explain this at the level a 10 year old could understand so you will get it.

Number of strikes means nothing. If Kaitlyn Chookagian and Alex Pereira were in a fight and Kaitlyn landed 100 strikes on Alex, and Alex landed 1 good punch, who do you think wins?

Also a takedown alone means nothing, especially with todays rules. Obviously you don't understand those either

Derreck Cleary giving round 5 was a round robbery, and Sterling won the fight off a round robbery, but I don’t think the fight was a robbery because I think it diffrent,  , my personal opinion on it is that I’m mad Cleary gave him the round, not the judges giving him the win

Johnny Walker

Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 450 Points   |   Tied for 1726th

All of Johnny Walkers wins inside the UFC besides his DWCS win has been in the first round. 
 If Smith can handle the early rounds I feel as though mentally he can get an advantage knowing walker has never won a fight after the first.

Almedia via sub

Smith vs. Walker
Johnny Walker, TKO, R1
Walker via KO/TKO. Smith has low test, looking very flat.
