If anyone on the planet can tell me where Aldana is better than Nunes, I'll murder my firstborn. A fluke or an extremely dodgy deal behind the scenes is the only way Aldana wins.

Except for Aldana, your picks are all reasonable.  Why Aldana over Nunes?

He said on the discord he has a crush on her or something. That's the kind of logic JR uses to make bets.

Aldana is having complications with the weight cut. Nunes is a lock.

The Ige pick % is wild. Especially by KO lol his last 2 knockouts are to guys with glass jaws. Nate will push the pace and IGe will crumble..

I know she made the number. She's beat. Dry heaving , even Annik says this is questionable if they'll let her fight.

I literally just watched the FB live of him telling everyone what's going on. Word for word it wasn't said , but it was clearly hinted towards.

He just said on the weigh in show it was questionable she’d make weight, not fight

Nunes vs. Aldana
Amanda Nunes, TKO, R3
After seeing Aldana on the scale. Don't think she makes it to the championship rounds.

It's a testament to my lack of interest in the main event that I keep reading Nunes name in this thread and asking myself "Why is everyone talking about Nunes?.. oh right she's fighting tomorrow".

Could also be testament to a goldfish memory, take your pick.
