Nickal vs. Woodburn
Bo Nickal, TKO, R1
Just to be different

Lawler vs. Price
Robbie Lawler, TKO, R2
I'm hearing the theme song of Young Guns 2 in my head as I think of this fight. Is it too late for Robbie? Maybe

Cháirez vs. Taira
Tatsuro Taira, SUB, R1
Odds, tap pick %, and MMAmath; the trifecta

Jauregui vs. Gomes
Denise Gomes, TKO, R2
Now Gomes would be a good value underdog. I remember Jauregui and Lucindo landing on each other and Gomes has serious power.

Crute vs. Menifield II
Jimmy Crute, SUB, R2
Vegas vs. tap.

Ross vs. Aguilar
Jesus Aguilar, SUB, R2
Yeah, it's a fight

Kirk vs. Ribovics
Kamuela Kirk, DEC
A lot closer than the odds or pick % I think based on quality of competition

I think I’ve already invested too much in turner by finish, I have it in most of my parlays.
Never wanted Dan hooker to get starched this badly and I’m a fan of Dan

Pantoja and Lawler are great dogs, pantoja already 2-0 against Moreno although I’m not picking based off that as the fights were years ago. Lawler isn’t a great pick due to him being 41 and way past his prime but I struggle to pick niko price to win fights anymore so I might throw some money on Robbie by finish or put him in a safe parlay alongside some favourites.

I think Kirk is mid, he should lose to ribovics but I don’t rate ribovics much either so I’m probably gonna avoid that fight for the most part

I wouldn't get my hopes up too high for a Whittaker finish. That fight could easily go the distance.

I think a jawaiian is the antithesis of a hawaiian. Instead of getting after it and going hard for the entire fight, they stand around looking at the opponent and then inexplicably gas in the second half of the fight.

I think the reaso people are picking Kirk is the grappling. He recently got his 2nd degree black belt. The issue is that Kirk hasn’t used his wrestling since the billy q fight. Even against makwan he just played off his back the whole fight. He uses his bjj defensively, not offensively. To me this isn’t close on the feet. Kirk throws mostly kicks on the feet and imo his boxing is really lacking. Even if his cardio is fixed up a weight class, there’s still the fact he’s a punching bag on the feet. I mean seriously he has some of the worst defense I’ve seen

Bro...thank you. That's why I've been saying this is a smash spot for Ribovics. It's not even remotely close on the feet. Ribovics turned Loik into a straight wrestler.

And I'm telling anyone whos reading this right now, Kirk is NOT built like Loik. Loik is tough as ****.

Kirk has excellent coaching and Argentinians always underperform.
