Question
Predictions: 2 of 4 Winners, 0 Perfect, 115 Points | Tied for 317th
That being said it surprised me to see the amount of brazilian fighters that go into DWCS, i tought that since they have so much brazilian talent already they would give the spotlight in the DWCS to other places like France, Russia etc.. and if they found a promissing brazilian they would go straight for the ufc but that doesn't seen to be the case.
So what i am asking is: Does anyone know why the ufc loves to bring so many brasilians in ?

Why is there 2 Tapology fighters with same profile picture/person? + it says he fought in 2018.
Where on Magomed's record he never fought in 2018. Is it just a mess up?

Rodolfo Bellato, SUB, R1
Really big fan of both these guys. Talha is a really good wrestler but can also bring it on the feet, he reminds me a lot of a Heavyweight Frankie Edgar. Bellato is really good as well, although he doesn’t quite have the striking of Talha, he has great GNP and a huge threat on the mat. I think this one could go either way, but I think Bellato will get a sneaky sub off his back in Round 1.
Torres vs. Hugo
Eduardo Matias Torres, DEC
This is the classic striker vs wrestler matchup. Torres has some good kicks in his arsenal, but other than that, he’s a pure wrestler. And Hugo is pretty much the opposite. I expect a boring 3 rounds of control by the wrestler for a UD win.
Gadzhiyasulov vs. Medina
Magomed Gadzhiyasulov, TKO, R1
I’m sorry but how is Medina on DWCS. He’s just a can that crushes other cans. Other guy should win this easily.
Ruffy vs. Magomedaliev
Raimond Magomedaliev, TKO, R2
Closer fight than people are making it out to be but Ruffy is so chinny. No way Raimond gasses before the finish.

I embrace Murtaza Talha at -310. He has a fancy mindset. Talha can mislead the cage.
Ruffy vs. Magomedaliev
I am loyal to Raimond Magomedaliev at -265. He has a heavenly fallaway moonsault slam. Magomedaliev could maintain the unthinkable. Mark my words!
Torres vs. Hugo
I go for Victor Hugo at -140. He has a militant crucifix. Hugo must locate the cycle.
Gadzhiyasulov vs. Medina
I can't get enough of Magomed Gadzhiyasulov at -850. He has a ruthless lapel choke. Gadzhiyasulov could vandalize the senses.
