Izzy has 5 Ko in 13 UFC wins, He doesn’t have a high Ko ratio as it 38% of his UFC wins, it below average at best 

Nothing wrong with being a decsion fighter from a winning perspective, GSP entire title run was decsion and Belal is the number 1 contender being my best example

Sean keeps repeating that he is not gonna wrestle even though he definitely should, so often, that i´m starting to think he will actually wrestle. It is probably gonna be his only title shot, so why not.

Sean strickland is going to try WRESTLE and MIGHT get the SUB. EVERYONE betting on Izzy but whenever we have a dominant champion that means the end is coming soon! (Ex:Silva vs Weidman, Nunes vs Pena, or Shevchenko vs Grasso) So its either Strickland or Plessis! And everyone going with Dricus and  counting strickland out which means this a “WHAT JUST HAPPENED” with Sean by SUB!

Haqparast vs. Quiñones
Nasrat Haqparast, DEC
UFC debut for Quinones. Hard to say what will happen with this one. Leaning a little on Haqparast.

Young vs. Miranda
Gabriel Miranda, SUB, R2
Young V. Miranda: Both fighters are grapplers, however Miranda is the "fly", the guy,, the Sub ninja with 94%! of his wins by submission. This is will heavily be a wrestling match for the sub win, therefore isl see this ending in the 2nd round with Miranda taking home the W.

Jousset vs. Crosbie
Kiefer Crosbie, TKO, R2
Jousset V. Crosbie: This fight I think will be coming out of the corners weapons hot, guns blazing 🔥. Both fighters are stand up fighters and plan to keep this fight upright on their feet. Crosbie has been listed as the big time underdog the last few fights and time after time not only does get the W, but has been handing out TKO/KO punches like free candy. I see him bringing home the win. This will be a good fight to watch in the preliminary as both fighters are looking to looking to keep the Win streak alive!

Predictions: 0 of 2 Winners, 0 Perfect, 0 Points   |   Tied for 5632nd

  The Pleasure Man has never been knocked out. NEVER! Then one might ask, why would he be knocked out now by an opponent who is completely useless? This match can only end in one way and that is TURKALJ winning.

Quick notes of the press conference

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 490 Points   |   Tied for 3175th

Tyson Pedro is afraid to taste pleasure. 
Austen Lane and Justin Tafa seem like they would get along if they didn't have to fight half-naked in a cage. 
Manel Kape is the real villain of this card. 
Tai Tuivasa seems to be more popular than Izzy. 
Izzy did the best thing by not talking too much and Sean has gotten over with the fans incredibly considering a few years ago he was just another fighter on the roster. 

Either way the conference did what was needed and entertained a bit underwhelming if you wanted more of a back and forth between Sean and Izzy but as I said Izzy played it smart and kept silent

Austen Lane

Is it just me but he look like something out of the Muppet show?

Btw anyone thinking he is going to win, just watch tape. Hopefully you will see what I see.

Justin Tafa R1 KO

Pleasure Man

Literally one of the worst fighters I have ever seen.

Do you guys seriously think the UFC made a main card spot for him? Or for their home town darling, fighting in his backyard, who has had hand picked matchups from the day he set foot in the octagon. 

Do you guys really think they have hand picked this dude and flown him in from Europe to beat Laura Sankos crush?

Cmon.

Pedro already flubbed a gimme in Bukauskas, and even got finished by Shogun's corpse. Never underestimate how awful Tyson becomes when his gas tank goes to ****. If Pleasure man can wrestle him for more than a round it's gonna be a wrap pretty much.

For me it's simply based on the fact that Jousset has a judo background, and Crosbie's looked garbage whenever he grappled anyone with a pulse in Bellator. Awful fight IQ too, he tried to wrestle Georgi which lead to a sub loss, and was so aggressive against Charlie Leary that he ended up getting rocked and mauled for the rest of a round where he had a good start. Also threw an illegal knee against a can.

If Kevin doesn't use his grappling, things could get very hairy for him, but given how Crosbie tends to be a kind of basic brawler I wouldn't be surprised if he forced the clinch himself and got thrown around.

Model picked 2 tapology underdogs this time, Shane Young & Blood Diamond. Not much to say about it, both are fights with little data available so probably a bit of untrustworthy picks anyway.

You expect us to believe a model that says Shane Young is the underdog? LOL 👍
