Sorry for the triple post but responding to something you said on the last page:

I'm 100% with you that Mallot is going to hit a brick wall soon and look very human, but it's not gonna be in a hometown fight against Fugitt. This is not the spot to fade him but I 100% see where you're heads at there.

Belbiţă vs. Oliveira
Maria Oliveira, DEC
I don't remember a single fight with either of these women but just going by strength of schedule and MMAmath, Oliveira seems an easy, reasonable pick.

Dvořák vs. Erceg
David Dvořák, DEC
I'm definitely rooting for Erceg because I just don't like Dvorak's wet blanket style but I can't pick a debuting fighter over a guy who's 3-2 in the UFC and beat Bruno Silva.

Zahabi vs. Aoriqileng
Aoriqileng, TKO, R2
Yeah, easy pick for me. Younger, more experienced, faced better competition, and I just don't like Zahabi's conservative style.

Jasudavicius vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, DEC
Rooting for Jasmine, think she would be a good underdog value, and if she can avoid L'n'P and effectively use her height and length advantage, I could see her winning. I think most are too down on her for the loss to Natalia Silva and just don't recognize how good Silva is yet and Maverick was absolutely not robbed against Barber; close fight, she could've won, but in no way did she show that she was anything other then effecitvely even with Maycee.

Anders vs. Barriault
Eryk Anders, DEC
Momentum and youth (and possible home country judging) make the odds seem about right but when it's this close I'll let my anti-Quebec bias sway me.

Imavov vs. Curtis
Chris Curtis, DEC
Just like above: a close, competitive fight on paper so I'll let my (anti-France this time) bias and the Phil Hawes MMAmath component sway my pick.

Nunes vs. Aldana
Amanda Nunes, DEC
aldana can probably hang in the boxing, but i don't think she can mix it up well enough to keep amanda guessing and stop her from playing it safe with takedowns.

Oliveira vs. Dariush
Charles Oliveira, TKO, R3
i was gonna hedge by picking beneil and hoping to be wrong, but i'm actually gonna go the other way on it. i'm gonna pick charles and hope to be wrong because beneil winning is probably better for the division.

Malott vs. Fugitt
Mike Malott, SUB, R2
i think fugitt is gonna try to wrestle and i think he's gonna get clipped in the process.

Ige vs. Landwehr
Dan Ige, TKO, R2
feel like dan will be slick enough to avoid big shots and land one of his own if nate slows down.

Anders vs. Barriault
Marc-André Barriault, DEC
i'm a broken record for this card i guess, i'm gonna take marc on volume.

Imavov vs. Curtis
Nassourdine Imavov, DEC
curtis tends to wait for his opponents and i'm not sure he'll keep up with the volume imavov brings at range.

Jasudavicius vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, DEC
jas is gonna have to stay mobile if she wants to avoid the clinch, i think miranda crashes through and finds her td's.

Zahabi vs. Aoriqileng
Aoriqileng, TKO, R1
think i trust aoriqileng's volume and power more, not sure zahabi will want to stand with him and i'm not convinced he's gonna be able to drag it down.

Bilder vs. Nelson
Blake Bilder, DEC
i don't feel confident that nelson will be able to keep it standing.

Dvořák vs. Erceg
David Dvořák, DEC
i'm not sure erceg will be able to keep things at range and i don't think he wants to be under dvorak.

Belbiţă vs. Oliveira
Maria Oliveira, DEC
mmamath aside, i guess i feel like maria has fought better competition throughout her career and can maybe mix it up better?
