“Stop telling lies” my man you’re straight up guessing what’s going on inside Luque’s skull. Any number of factors could have contributed. A sparring partner could have done the most damage. It’s irrelevant who gets credit. He’s got a head full of scrambled eggs and is fighting another grinder way too soon.

In the Geoff Neal fight, Luque got dropped twice, took 120 headshot and got wobbled multiple times, that the fight that did the damage, we both don’t know what happen, because brain science is very complicated, also you never mention training, you mention Belal doing it, that factually wrong
But Belal didn’t do much damage to Luque, he didn’t “beat Luque brain to a pulp” He won a decsion, but it wasn’t a bad beating or anything, Wonderboy, Price, Perry and Barbernna did more brain damage then Belal did
And for a fact, Luque landed more sig stike and headshot than Belal did in the fight

Luque vs. dos Anjos
Rafael dos Anjos, SUB, R3
I hope I am right for the best, this fight should not be happening
Swanson vs. Dawodu
Hakeem Dawodu, DEC
In his prime, Cub wins this all day long. He may win due to Dawodu's inconsistencies but I do expect him to outpace a 39-year old Cub.
Rountree vs. Daukaus
Khalil Rountree, TKO, R2
Rountree should make Daukaus look stupid, this isn't going to be competitive
Viana vs. Lucindo
Iasmin Lucindo, DEC
I quite like Lucindo actually, she's a lot of fun and super young. The division would be better off if she won
Nchukwi vs. Dobson
Tafon Nchukwi, DEC
This is also not a good fight
Fremd vs. Pickett
Josh Fremd, DEC
This is not a good fight
McGhee vs. Buys
Marcus McGhee, TKO, R1
Remember when JP was a promising prospect coming off the CS and not a joke? Me too. Hope the best for him but don't see how he wins
McKinney vs. Breeden
Terrance McKinney, TKO, R1
Tailor-made for McKinney to get back on track
Marshall vs. Dulgarian
Isaac Dulgarian, TKO, R2
Dulgarian looks like an absolute machine. He has not faced a shred of adversity and I would rather pick him and look smart now in case he does prove his mettle
Parisian vs. Buday
Martin Buday, DEC
There is absolutely no reason for Josh Parisian to still be in the UFC
Ruiz vs. Amorim
Montserrat Ruiz, DEC
After Amorim's awful UFC debut, I'm not sure how people pick her. She looked electric on the regional scene but her game completely falls apart if it goes longer than a round
Blackshear vs. Johnson
Da'Mon Blackshear, DEC
Blackshear is better everywhere, he should win comfortably

The ironic thing is, despite how much more damage Luque took against Neal, at least he looked like a functional fighter whose limbs did what they were told. Against Belal, Luque looked shockingly slow and uncoordinated. Like, dangerously so. There were a couple times where he accidentally, just by virtue of having a balled fist and Belal stepping in, caught him and hurt him. Yet watching Luque try to pounce was concerning. Seriously watch those moments again. He couldn't move.

Belal a good fighter tho, He like a modern day Jon Fitch, Boring AF, But highly skilled, Losing a close decision to him isn't bad, Your acting like that fight is an arsewhopping, When it simply wasn't, He just got outpointed by Belal, Belal is on a winstreak of outpointing solid guy and is the number 1 contender of the division for a reason
How can someone be so wrong on a fight simply astound me, you are the best troll on this site without even trying, Your acting like it's a Holloway vs Katter, Or even Vicente last fight with Geoff Neal, Those are fight that damage people

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 600 Points | Tied for 1440th
Luque vs. dos Anjos
Vicente Luque, TKO, R3
RDA is a living legend in MMA, but I think his career is finally starting to wind down. Luque is no spring chicken, either, but it's hard to ignore his advantages here in size, finishing upside and recent career trajectory. I think Luque will finish RDA in under 5 rounds and put a final nail in the coffin of RDA's title aspirations.
Swanson vs. Dawodu
Hakeem Dawodu, DEC
Dawodu is a relatively underwhelming guy at 145 despite his promise early on. While I do think he will get the win in this fight, Swanson is an absolute dog and rarely do we see him totally outclassed even in a losing effort. Dawodu by decision, but I won't be shocked if Cub can shock him.
Rountree vs. Daukaus
Khalil Rountree, TKO, R1
Daukus will have the obvious size and power advantage, but he's on a three fight KO loss streak. He's got a pretty weak chin. Rountree is not only a better striker, but he seems to be somewhat more durable. Daukus has never gone past the half way point in his UFC career, win or lose... Rountree gets an early stoppage to spoil Daukaus' LHW bid.
Viana vs. Lucindo
Iasmin Lucindo, DEC
Viana is a dangerous finisher on both the feet and the ground, which is not something seen often at the UFC level in women's MMA. She's never won a fight by decision, only by KO or sub, but hasn't really fought any competition that jumps off of the page. Lucindo just seems like the more put together and durable fighter, like she's built to actually go the distance as opposed to relying on flash finishes. Viana could certainly do some damage and get a finish, but it seems far more likely that Lucindo will outwork and outgrapple her to a submission or a decision win.
Nchukwi vs. Dobson
Tafon Nchukwi, DEC
Neither man is particularly good, even by middleweight standards. Dobson is a front runner who had a lot of quick regional wins before winning on the contender series, but his UFC career has been pretty lackluster thus far. He's never been stopped, but he's shown some real confusing fight IQ and a overall lack of volume. Nchukwi is a pretty slow brawling muay thai guy, nothing to brag about, but he's got the power advantage, possibly a technical advantage and is capable of winning fights without relying on explosive shots. I think Tafon will just build on a lead with strikes. Dobson probably won't get KO'd, but I can picture him just letting the fight slip away.
Fremd vs. Pickett
Josh Fremd, SUB, R2
Not much to say about this fight. Neither man is particularly good, but Josh Fremd is the clear pick here. He's demonstrated a more capable finisher at the UFC level, more explosive, and has shown a decent response to adversity. He's not much better than Pickett, but I think he'll have more than enough opportunities to snatch up a neck for a win.
McGhee vs. Buys
Marcus McGhee, TKO, R1
JP Buys is lucky to be in the UFC. No disrespect, but at this point, he's a body for them to put in the cage against better competition. He does train at Xtreme Couture, and he has shown a solid grappling game, but his deficits are all far more prominent in his UFC career. He's 1-4 across the UFC and DWCS, and has been finished in all but one of his losses. McGhee is admittedly less proven, and comes in as the older fighter, but he's got far less mileage on his body and has shown that he's a solid striker with good takedown defense. I think his power will carry the day against a battered opponent like buys. McGhee by KO in under 1.5
McKinney vs. Breeden
Terrance McKinney, TKO, R1
The theme of this card seems to be flawed prospects getting some lay-up opponents. Alternatively, it could just be the UFC trying to clean house... Breeden has not impressed in his UFC career and was only brought in on short notice for Alex Hernandez. He's 0-3 under the Zuffa banner, and while he's shown some toughness, hasn't proven he's a UFC level fighter. This just feels like a softball fight for McKinney. Terrance by first round stoppage.
Marshall vs. Dulgarian
Francis Marshall, DEC
I'm leaning Marshall by decision, but I wouldn't be shocked if Dulgarian comes out and wins his UFC debut. Marshall is a more put together/proven fighter at this level, but I'm really not impressed with him. Dulgarian has far more question marks attached to his name, and is probably still green coming into his UFC debut, but he's also a big finishing threat with all of his wins coming by first round finish. With that said, Dulgarian has a lot to prove before I can safely pick him to stop Marshall. Marshall by decision after a rough start.
Parisian vs. Buday
Martin Buday, DEC
Josh Parisian sucks. He's tough, and probably slightly better than the average heavyweight punching bag, but it's pretty evident he has no business fighting in the UFC. Buday is a pretty solid grinder who has spent his UFC career beating up fat heavyweights like Parisian. I think he'll do it again.
Ruiz vs. Amorim
Jaqueline Amorim, DEC
Ruiz is more experienced but I haven't really been impressed with what I've seen. She's aggressive and a solid wrestler, but that's about all I can say. Amorim is the greener fighter, but she's got a dangerous submission game. I think Amorim will get a decision, as Ruiz has never been submitted.
Blackshear vs. Johnson
Da'Mon Blackshear, TKO, R2
Jose Johnson steps in on short notice for Brady Hiestand. Johnson is a long, rangey 135er with explosive finishing ability; however, inconsistency has been a major issue for him. Blackshear is just better everywhere this fight goes. Johnson arguably has the one-strike KO advantage, but Blackshear is the more technical fighter on the feet and on the ground. Johnson got an upset on the Contender Series to make his way to the UFC, but I think a guy like Blackshear will be able to take advantage of the mistakes Johnson will inevitably present him.
Miller vs. Santos
Juliana Miller, DEC
Difficult to be confident in either woman. Miller is only 3-2, but she did win The Ultimate Fighter. She seems like she's got a decent amount of experience despite her lack of fights. Santos has the prettier record but I don't think she's going to be levels above Miller. I think Miller can take advantage of Santos being a green fighter, and rack up enough points to pick up a decision. Santos has the flash finish upside, but it's hard to rely on that with these inexperienced Brazilian prospects.
Vicente Luque, TKO, R3
RDA is a living legend in MMA, but I think his career is finally starting to wind down. Luque is no spring chicken, either, but it's hard to ignore his advantages here in size, finishing upside and recent career trajectory. I think Luque will finish RDA in under 5 rounds and put a final nail in the coffin of RDA's title aspirations.

Luque vs. dos Anjos
Rafael dos Anjos, SUB, R3
Guillotine after A huge exchange cracks Luque. The only open attack is a choke and RDA cranks this, Luque forced to tap.
Swanson vs. Dawodu
Hakeem Dawodu, DEC
Split 29-28x2 28-29.
Rountree vs. Daukaus
Khalil Rountree, TKO, R1
I think Khalil works Daukaus quick. Flurry lands, then his patient strikes land stronger, Chris covers and falls, Ref jumps in.
Viana vs. Lucindo
Polyana Viana, TKO, R3
I think Viana pours it on Lucindo. Ref steps in past mid 3rd round. Tko finish strikes on the cage.
Nchukwi vs. Dobson
Tafon Nchukwi, TKO, R1
I think Tafon times a counter perfectly on a takedown attempt from Dobson. Hook to TKO finish
Fremd vs. Pickett
Josh Fremd, DEC
29-28x2 30-27. Real frustrating fight to watch imo. I think Pickett will try to engage but a gassed Fremd will be able to control him still.
McGhee vs. Buys
Marcus McGhee, DEC
I really think this is Cannon Fodder but I’ll lean theres an improved Buys and it gets interesting towards the end. 29-28x3 uni
McKinney vs. Breeden
Terrance McKinney, TKO, R1
Flying Knee KO. I mean it !
Marshall vs. Dulgarian
Francis Marshall, SUB, R1
I think a slugfest occurs, Francis cracks Dulgarian and immediately hops on an RNC to finish the fight.
Parisian vs. Buday
Martin Buday, TKO, R2
I think this is essentially a tougher version of Buday’s last outing but I think he passes the UFCs test. Ground and pound tko

I think Khalil works Daukaus quick. Flurry lands, then his patient strikes land stronger, Chris covers and falls, Ref jumps in.
Viana vs. Lucindo
Polyana Viana, TKO, R3
I think Viana pours it on Lucindo. Ref steps in past mid 3rd round. Tko finish strikes on the cage.
Nchukwi vs. Dobson
Tafon Nchukwi, TKO, R1
I think Tafon times a counter perfectly on a takedown attempt from Dobson. Hook to TKO finish
Fremd vs. Pickett
Josh Fremd, DEC
29-28x2 30-27. Real frustrating fight to watch imo. I think Pickett will try to engage but a gassed Fremd will be able to control him still.
McGhee vs. Buys
Marcus McGhee, DEC
I really think this is Cannon Fodder but I’ll lean theres an improved Buys and it gets interesting towards the end. 29-28x3 uni
McKinney vs. Breeden
Terrance McKinney, TKO, R1
Flying Knee KO. I mean it !
Marshall vs. Dulgarian
Francis Marshall, SUB, R1
I think a slugfest occurs, Francis cracks Dulgarian and immediately hops on an RNC to finish the fight.
Parisian vs. Buday
Martin Buday, TKO, R2
I think this is essentially a tougher version of Buday’s last outing but I think he passes the UFCs test. Ground and pound tko
Ruiz vs. Amorim
Jaqueline Amorim, DEC
29-28x2 30-27x1 uni
Blackshear vs. Johnson
Jose Johnson, DEC
29-28x3 uni for Lobo.
Miller vs. Santos
Luana Santos, TKO, R3
Midway through, could be a sub too

Why is everyone picking Santos? I can't find a single frame of footage on her.
Lol oh damn I had to use the full long ass name that's why. Luana do Valle Lopes Gonzales Santos o.O

Changed my pick to Santos and cashed out a small bet after watching Miller at the weigh-ins and staredowns. It's still a dog or pass fight no doubt. I pass.

Got a bunch of bets for this card but I think my favorite bets are Lucindo ML and Parisian vs Buday goes the distance.
