Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 365 Points | Tied for 4736th
Israel Adesanya, TKO, R4
Don't know why Sean took this fight
Tuivasa vs. Volkov
Alexander Volkov, TKO, R2
Sorry Tai after losing to spivac no chance here
Kape vs. dos Santos
Felipe dos Santos, DEC
Gotta take an underdog somewhere I'll take unbeaten Felipe
Tafa vs. Lane
Austen Lane, TKO, R1
Someone's going out in round 1. I think Lane is durable enough to hit Tafa with a nasty counter right cross to put him away
Ulberg vs. Jung
Da Un Jung, TKO, R2
Taking Jung with the upset here because Zombie Jung let me down
Mullarkey vs. Makdessi
Jamie Mullarkey, TKO, R2
John is old it's time to hang the gloves up after this battering
Haqparast vs. Quiñones
Nasrat Haqparast, DEC
Landon is tough enough to force a decision here
Jousset vs. Crosbie
Kevin Jousset, TKO, R2
Kevin faced tougher competition which should elevate him to finding a finish in this fight

Prediction Comments
Predictions: 11 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 740 Points | Tied for 14th with 1 other
Israel Adesanya, TKO, R4
Confidence: High. Izzy will be too much for Strickland this fight. The way Strickland fights it’s super easy to kick Strickland, We all know Adesanya is a fantastic kickboxer I think he can win this by leg kicks TKO & Let’s not act like this isnt
a horrible matchup for Strickland
Tuivasa vs. Volkov
Alexander Volkov, TKO, R1
Confidence: Medium. Tuivasa is a KO or bust fighter, he his at a big size disadvantage here his only shot at winning his knocking out Volkov which is possible but Tuivasa will hunt for the KO and it will cost him. Volkov is too smart and has faced the best of the best
Kape vs. dos Santos
Manel Kape, TKO, R2
Confidence: High. Kape should dominate this fight, Dos Santos is a very young & inexperienced Dos Santos is gonna come out very wild and adrenaline dump in R1, Dos Santos is a shootabox fighter which matches up perfectly for Kape. Dos Santos will come out wild & either gas himself or get countered early.
Tafa vs. Lane
Justin Tafa, TKO, R2
Confidence: Medium. Remember when Lane got KO’d by Greg hardy in 15 seconds😂 Has nothing to do with this fight just think that is hilarious. Tafa is younger, better and faster Lane’s size and pressure can be a problem for Tafa but I’m sure Tafa will show theirs levels to this
Pedro vs. Turkalj
Tyson Pedro, TKO, R1
Confidence: Low. Pedro is a R1 or Bust fighter, He either gets the KO in the first or Loses, it’s as simple as that nothing is different in this fight he either gets the KO in the first or loses.
Ulberg vs. Jung
Carlos Ulberg, TKO, R2
Confidence: High. Ulberg should **** Un Jung up pretty easily, I don’t believe Ulberg is a R1 or bust fighter he has gone the distance before in the UFC This should be a striking clinic and that favors Ulberg beautifully he has too much power for Un Jung. Un Jung is decent everywhere but not good anywhere he either gets his face painted red or KO’d
Jenkins vs. Mariscal
Chepe Mariscal, DEC
Confidence: Medium. Jenkins is a good fighter, he has good leg kicks and a good stand up game. Do not underestimate Mariscal here, last fight he came up on short notice at a different weight class and still won. Easily Jenkins last fight IMO was a robbery he lost that fight to Emmers he lost R1 Won R2 and was on his back the whole 3rd. Mariscal does everything Jenkins does just as good (exclude leg kicks) Mariscal is a good striker & has a great wrestling which I think will be the X factor here, Mariscal is gonna March forward eat some leg kicks hurt Jenkins or take himdown. I think Mariscal’s power & wrestling will be too much for Jenkins
Mullarkey vs. Makdessi
Jamie Mullarkey, DEC
Confidence: Medium . Mullarkey isn’t that good Madessi is washed though he’s been through a lot of fights and is at a huge age disadvantage here (if you don’t know 6 plus year age gap or more are far more likely the younger fighter wins 65% of the time or more) Obviously every situation is different but here I think it matches perfectly, Makdessi is gonna be slow and not accurate Mullakey should pick him apart for 3 rounds
Haqparast vs. Quiñones
Nasrat Haqparast, DEC
Confidence: High. Haqparast is on a different level here, Quinones is a way younger fighter and they are the same age basically, Haqparsat has fought Ranked fighters & isn’t getting finished by them or steamrolled over he has good experience & just will be the better fighter in this matchup. Quinones is a bit too young In the MMA world for a fighter like Haqparast
Mathetha vs. Radtke
Charlie Radtke, DEC
Confidence: Low. Not fully convinced Diamond is a good MMA, he has good stand up but Is like Kimbo slice on his back, Radtke has extremely easy path of victory here but Radtke isn’t the smartest or best either so this fight can get interesting, Diamond should be a duck on his back though
Young vs. Miranda
Gabriel Miranda, SUB, R1
Confidence: Medium. Not sure why Young is the favorite here, the only reason Young is in the UFC is because he stepped up on short notice vs Volk after 3 fights fell thru. Miranda don’t have the best stand up so there is a world where Young wins but I believe Miranda will Sub him pretty easily I don’t think Young is UFC level
Jousset vs. Crosbie
Kevin Jousset, DEC
Confidence: Low Both fighters making their Debut so not much to know about either of them, Crosbie has lost every step up fight he has had though, Crosbie has struggled at the Bellator level so I think he will struggle here definitely a pick em fight though

Carlos Ulberg, TKO
Da un Jung is a good striker with decent grappplling so I expect to see a ranking next to his name sometime in the future. We obviously know how good Ulberg is, but I really hate how low he keeps his hands. Watching tape on him he's been clipped with some heavy shots by far lesser competition so Jung could be live for a KO himself here. Regardless, I think Ulberg will be able to kick at Jungs legs and remain evasive until he finds the KO blow

Fight Forecast
Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 565 Points | Tied for 1838th
Last week first time using the model with historical betting odds included, immediately hit 100% correct!
Ofc this is an obvious outlier, all favourites won + Nora who the model barely choose as winner.
This week it picks 2 tapology dogs who I'm not too happy with. Shame Young & Blood Diamond. We'll see how it goes.
BTW is someone could tell me if the tables make any sense or if I should remove some of the columns. That would be very much appreciated
