Please guys, it's not even worth debating. If you can just walk away from the argument, you are the winner even if it doesn't feel like it.

The hours go by and the more I am convinced that Isakov is a false favorite, standing up he has nothing it is horrible, my choices will be Torrez Mederos and Davi Costa

From the 4 fights I watched on Davi.. this guy is **** ! Absolutely wild looping shots standing up , lunges into everything , terrible IQ , wide stance (Rocha is a wild kicker) and he gets hit alot. Other than that , good scrambles , good JJ , good top control and very active on the ground.

Taveras vs. Romious
Cortavious Romious, SUB, R2
I feel bad for Taveras losing twice in a row Contender Series, maybe he can get a lucky cross punch KO.

Zenidim vs. Lima
André Lima, TKO, R2
Rickson is too hittable and his kicks won't work on Lima with his high level of kickboxing

Finney vs. Panferov
Torrez Finney, TKO, R2
Curioso para ver o que o Finney tende a apresentar na luta de hoje. Ele parece ter uma boa base na luta agarrada, com boa pegada nas mãos. Vamos ver como ele se comportará em face do Panferov, que é um atleta grande com um jogo ajustado no grappling.

This may be a misconception, but I don’t understand why Lima is such a big favorite. Even though I predict him to win by knockout

Age statistics

Predictions: 3 of 6 Winners, 0 Perfect, 165 Points   |   Tied for 266th

Just a little data I thought interesting but probably means nothing...so far this year we had 41 fights with age differential. 
Out of the 41 fights 23 were won by fighters with younger age so this means 61% .

Yes slow day at work... and well I thought it might make a difference...but at the end ..not really

Saved you all the trouble thank me later
