Bro I tell you. Some of these analysts amd cappers are insufferable. 

Just watched a guy called Liam. Smug little gnome looking bastard sitting there and talking about giving out free picks. Bro no one paying for your **** picks.

The arrogance. Seriously. He trashes a fighter like Vettori and then condescendingly says "I know he would kick my ass"

😆  you don't need to tell us that you Muppet. We know. My gramma would whip your ass. The arrogance of these people to say that shows that in their own mind they think they are somewhat on that level. Bro any UFC fighter, even bloody Mike Jackson or CM Punk would whoop your ass with their eyes closed. Get over yourself

I don't mind the APEX at all honestly. I just think it's kind of goofy that some APEX cards end up being better than some PPVs, but whatever. I watch it all anyway.

Vettori may not hurt Cannonier, but I think he will at least have the volume to win. Cannonier barely had any offense in his last two fights and even if he lands the big one cleanly it's nearly impossible to hurt Vettori. Unless Jared wakes up I see Marvin taking an easy Dec.

But I never bet, so take my opinion with a big grain of salt.

The Apex was fun when it was a bit of a novelty. The fact you could hear everything the fighters and coaches are saying and the full impact sound of any strike. But now it's just gotten old imo. I much prefer the hype of a live crowd.
Also for the integrity of the sport, you warp it by having a much smaller cage and you warp it by the commentators loudly calling out strike counts or who they think are winning while also pretending that the judges sitting right next to them are oblivious and can't hear them.

Sabatini vs. Almeida
Pat Sabatini, DEC
Almeida is fun to watch and I'm glad he's back. Unfortunately I have no idea how well he can defend wrestling attacks.

Flick vs. Costa
Alessandro Costa, TKO, R2
I hope Flick looks better, but I'm picking against him based on what we saw last.

Vettori vs. Cannonier
Marvin Vettori, DEC
Youth shall Prevail, both guys are really really tough, and altho Jared has big power advantage, I believe Vettoris relentless pace and forward pressure will get him a victorg in eyes of judges

Tsarukyan vs. Silva
Arman Tsarukyan, TKO, R1
One of the weirdest matchup in a while lol, Arman took this fight just because everyone else is scared to fight him and he doesn't wanna stay inactive, this is one of those fights where "______ by whatever he wants" actually applies because gap is so massive, Arman also wabt his next fight on Abu Dhabi card so his family from Armenia/Russia can attend, hopefully he gets a good fight on that card

Duncan vs. Petrosyan
Armen Petrosyan, DEC
Gonna be good day for Armenian MMA I reckon

Sabatini vs. Almeida

Cannonier vs Vettori

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 505 Points   |   Tied for 577th

@Mav58 
You make a good point, but I just think that Cannonier is way too defensively sound for this fight to go Marvin's way. Cannonier generally is a cautious fighter, but I think that usually is a result of him being wary of his opponent's striking. I don't really rate Vettori's striking at all, especially his stone head defense and plodding footwork, while Cannonier keeps a tight high guard, and circles away from his opponent's offense. His power and defense should be enough to emphasize his lands and render Marvin's shots ineffective respectively, so I do think it will come down to just how many times Marvin can hit him. Conversely, circling away and eating shots on your forearms has historically lead to bad decisions, so this is a dangerous pick. I don't want to **** on Vettori too much, because I don't think he's a terrible fighter, but that Dolidze fight was a baaad look
