Didn't realize Shane Young missed weight so badly but I'm not switching my pick.

I have bets on Crosbie Miranda and (at match start catching the crest) Mathetha.

I'm just gonna say it... Tafa is overrated and hasn't beaten anyone of significance in the UFC. He should be able to KO Lane, but I wouldn't be surprised if Lane can pull off a DEC at +1200 odds. I'll never bet on someone who loses to Jared Vanderaa aka lowest IQ fight ever...

Just rewatching tape on BSD against Miranda. If BSD did not catchim with a spinning back fist, or if Miranda had taken more time to secure top position before trying to punch he would have won.

I am fading BSD hard against anyone good next time. I think he is not as good as he seems to be

He's not favored because he's special, it's because Landon got *****ed by Jason Knight in less than a minute, and hasn't done anything impressive in MMA.

The guys that have beaten Nasrat in the UFC all dwarfed him in terms of experience and were actual good fighters. Green, Hooker, Dober and Held are not the worst people to have lost to by any means.

BSD is gonna be one of those guys I keep betting against and keep losing money on, kinda like DDP.

Anyone else think that it is either Volkov by decision or Tai by knockout? I think Bam Bam's chin is good enough to last 3 rounds against Volkov

Amazing New Predictions

Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 500 Points   |   Tied for 2973rd

Haqparast vs. Quiñones
I fancy Nasrat Haqparast at -475. He has a kooky lapel choke. Haqparast can nationalize the opposition.

Jousset vs. Crosbie
I am all about Kevin Jousset at -155. He has a passionate guillotine and a kooky left hand. Jousset ought to boil the cycle.

Kape vs. dos Santos
I finger Manel Kape at -400. He has a hypersonic check hook. Kape is about to fight the corner man. Money in the bank!

Mullarkey vs. Makdessi
I predict Jamie Mullarkey at -270. He has a zingy powerbomb. Mullarkey ought to drop the corner man.

Ulberg vs. Jung
I tap Carlos Ulberg at -280. He has a judicious mindset. Ulberg won't neutralize the natural order.

Mathetha vs. Radtke
I feel disposed to Charles Radtke at -330. He has a trendy quivering palm death touch. Radtke could choke the humiliating defeat. Mark my words!

Young vs. Miranda
I choose Shane Young at -165. He has a quixotic ground and pound and a zippy sprawl and also a quick crucifix. Young might bother the achievement.

Tuivasa vs. Volkov
I am sticking with Alexander Volkov at -250. He has a delusional axe kick. Volkov is about to weaken the humiliating defeat.

Jenkins vs. Mariscal
I am enamored with Jack Jenkins at -210. He has an oppulent reverse frankensteiner. Jenkins can damage the TV audience.

Adesanya vs. Strickland
I trust Israel Adesanya at -650. He has a yellow-bellied kneebar and a nutty quivering palm death touch. Adesanya might coach the TV audience. Count on it!

Tafa vs. Lane
I have a crush on Justin Tafa at -205. He has a bodacious hammerfist. Tafa will leverage the natural order.

Miranda was piecing BSD with kicks and straight punches. Then he got caught, gassed out and started throwing wild hooks instead. With better cardio he wins that fight

Probably me to... but he really isn't that good. Just very tough, aggressive and he has power. He is going to lose badly soon

Yes, BSD has absolutely no striking defense and just eats stuff on the chin. Moises hit him clean 3 or 4 times with strikes and one clean head kick and BSD didn't even react. The man must have an iron head.
You know the chin is gonna crack sooner or later but he will lose me a bunch of bets before it happens I'm sure.

Whether Izzy wins or not it will be hard for him to ever recover from jerking off his dog. Some things are just gonna stay with you for the rest of your life.

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 515 Points   |   Tied for 2623rd

Tuivasa vs. Volkov
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R2
Tuivasa by 2nd round KO. Volkov will use his range and effectively control the fight until he gets caught with a powerful strike from Tuivasa.

Kape vs. dos Santos
Manel Kape, TKO, R2
The little man will display his vicious striking slillset. Dos Santos will be confronted with Kape's speed power and accuracy that he can not match .

Tafa vs. Lane
Justin Tafa, TKO, R2
Tafa will find Lanes chin and finish the fight via KO.

Pedro vs. Turkalj
Tyson Pedro, TKO, R1
It will be a pleasure for Pedro to prove the doubters wrong and show he is the better MMA fighter. Pedro will look sharp and with the energy of the hometown crowd behind him he will secure the victory.
