Context is important.
@SplitDecision3027 
didn't even attempt to make an argument or give some information. He just posted saying "Poor DanRomanick is very naive" and then followed up with more of the same.

It's just pointless name calling. At least write something about why what
@danromanick 
is saying is wrong. That's why they were flagged. Empty name calling with nothing else.

Also it's not like
@SplitDecision3027 
is on my ****list now or something. There was no suspension. It's JUST a couple of flagged posts, people.

@Andrew1047 
the "rip someone a new *******" comment was no longer about the original posts. It was part of my broader reaction to the accusation that everything I'm trying to do here is about wokeness. I think it's ******** to call Tapology woke, and that any efforts to reduce toxic behavior are "woke".

Azaitar vs. Prado
Francisco Prado, TKO, R2
Rock’em sock’em robots kinda fight. I had high hopes for Azaitar. He had 2 nice KO/TKO wins and then got steamrolled lol. The Frevola fight was the only one he had in 2 years. Thats just not enough activity at his age for my liking. Especially in a stacked division like lightweight. This is a tough fight to come back with. Azaitar is very aggressive. Once he starts swinging he really goes for it. That leaves openings though. Not sure on his wrestling ability but Prado’s fight against Mullarkey could be a blueprint for Azaitar to get a cheeky W. Im just not sure if Azaitar is that kind of fighter. Fighters that are 10 or more years younger win 65% of the time. I think Prado is well equipped to get the win here, not only because of the age but also because of his power. The power mixed in with a 5 inch reach advantage should be tough for Azaitar to deal with. Mullarkey is a brawler at heart and even he tried to avoid the stand up exchanges with Prado. Both of these fighters are coming off losses. I think at this stage, the ceiling for Prado is a lot higher than Azaitar. Im picking Prado to get his first win in the UFC. I think its a good matchup for him to show off his skills. All the pressure in this fight is on Azaitar imo. I think hes gonna come out a lot more careful than last fight. If he gets brutally stopped again its gonna be really hard to climb back up the ladder. I just have a feeling Prado is going to be too much for him. The UFC didnt do him any favors with this one, coming off a bad KO loss. I think the fight ends in a finish one way or the other but im siding with Prado.

Unfortunately being a **** is part of internet culture. Most folks would never step to anyone on the street but behind a keyboard they talk all crazy. It's fine to disagree but often I find here and other sites there's a lot of disrespect for someone simply offering an opinion.

Lord Forgive for what Im about to say 
But if Mayra Bueno Silva loses to Holly may Holly go into the titlefight with Pena and knock her out the same fashion she did Ronda and may she retire a champion, before fading into obscurity 
And yes I just spent 1 minute to write this bullsh't, your butthurt is welcome

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 6 Perfect, 725 Points   |   Tied for 378th

Holm vs. Bueno Silva
Mayra Bueno Silva, SUB, R2
I'm gonna say Silva fights knowing what is at stake and becomes too much for the 43 year old Holm.

Dumont vs. Chandler
Norma Dumont, DEC
Dumont should have the grappling defense to handle Chandler's wrestling game. On the feet Dumont is much better.

Lutz vs. Baghdasaryan
Melsik Baghdasaryan, DEC
As long as he keeps the fight standing, Bags should piece up Lutz on the feet.

Nunes vs. Dudakova
Viktoriya Dudakova, SUB, R2
Dudakova doesn't put herself in too much danger on the feet and once she gets her wrestling game going it should be tough for Nunes to keep up.

Lingo vs. Costa
Melquizael Costa, SUB, R2
Costa is pretty dynamic and fast. Should be able to avoid the predictable headhunting of Lingo.

Maddalena vs. Hafez
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R1
Hafez is not a scrub but Maddalena should have to boxing prowess to find his chin.

Valdéz vs. Elder
Evan Elder, DEC
Valdez is dangerous and probably a bit quicker but Elder is the much more well rounded and has the toughness to withstand Valdez aggression. Valdez is live though.

Nam vs. Maksum
Azat Maksum, SUB, R2
Nam is always live for a KO but Maksum is faster, younger with a beast grappling game.

Deaton III vs. Munoz
Alex Munoz, DEC
Munoz is tough and can use his wrestling against a guy who has a history of only being able to beat cans.

Evans-Smith vs. Perez
Ailin Perez, DEC
Don't care. Perez I guess. Younger and more active.

Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 365 Points   |   Tied for 3763rd

Holm vs. Bueno Silva
Mayra Bueno Silva, SUB, R4
for the love of god maayra run at holly and just ******* steamroll her into a sub

Duraev vs. Park
Jun Yong Park, DEC
JYP will pressure duraev this whole fight and def take at least 2 rounds

Dumont vs. Chandler
Chelsea Chandler, DEC
chandler will do more to win over the judges as long as she keeps the pace all 3 rounds dumont is too boring

Azaitar vs. Prado
Ottman Azaitar, TKO, R1
prado got WORKED by mullarkey ottman got chinned by the same guy to sleep dober i think potatos gets back on track vicious ko

McKinney vs. Sadykhov
Terrance McKinney, SUB, R1
Mckinney has a smart gameplan when he fights just no tank Nazim has the hands but nothing else mckinney should hop the back quick and get an rnc

Lutz vs. Baghdasaryan
Melsik Baghdasaryan, TKO, R2
melsik has some fire in his kicks lutz will get slept with a head kick or drop from a hard body kick

Nunes vs. Dudakova
Viktoriya Dudakova, SUB, R1
hearing very good things of dudakova,nunes gets cut here

Lingo vs. Costa
Austin Lingo, DEC
ill take the dog here lingo hits hard and has a decent clinch game hes not fighting nate the train this time

Maddalena vs. Hafez
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R1
murder lock

Valdéz vs. Elder
Evan Elder, TKO, R3
someone gets slept and judging the last performance from each id say its valdez didnt pillow hand natan levy drop him?

Nam vs. Maksum
Azat Maksum, SUB, R2
nam can find the counter shot but azat is smart and will grapple if necessary and choke nam out

Deaton III vs. Munoz
Carl Deaton III, DEC
idk munoz at all so going with the upset deaton isnt very good but hes experienced enough to get a decision

Evans-Smith vs. Perez
Ailin Perez, TKO, R1
both suck but smith had a very long layoff

Nam by TKO

Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 425 Points   |   Tied for 3484th

Nam has 100% takedown defends and lots of experience against good competition don’t be surprised if Azat gets jumpy and he gets a counter shot and Nam gets a KO
I also feel Istela Nunes gets her first win and by a KO she’s better than her record suggests

@Mothswords 
thank you someone sees it the way I do Dudakova has no power in her hands either I think Nunes is gonna piece her up with quick combos and her TD isn’t bad either stop a couple shots and knock her out
