@supnavarili 
last week I bet the house on Natalia Silva and you tried to tell me that Andrea Lee would be her toughest opponent. 

Now you are saying Blanchfield is on the same level as Stoliarenko? Please just stop

Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 550 Points   |   Tied for 2553rd

Holloway vs. Jung
Max Holloway, DEC
Max has a ton of respect for TKZ. He will not finish him. Puts up 150-200 ss. Decision win. Let's go legends.

Smith vs. Spann II
Ryan Spann, TKO, R1
LOCK confidence. Ryan Spann KO/TKO. Call it a career Anthony Smith.

Chikadze vs. Caceres
Giga Chikadze, DEC
Welcome back Giga. A little rusty but a decision birthday win. Bruce Leeroy is a livish dog.

Nakamura vs. Garcia
Rinya Nakamura, SUB, R2
Nightmare style matchup for Fernie. Don't see him getting KO'ed, as he has good chin. You SHOULD wrestle Rinya, get TDs, and maybe find a submission. This is how you beat Fernie.

Blanchfield vs. Santos
Erin Blanchfield, DEC
50/50 fight personally rooting for Erin. Taila Santos is a tough b**tch and no slouch. Another very live dog in Taila. I'll take that L if Erin loses.

Tafa vs. Porter
Junior Tafa, TKO, R1
LOCK confidence. Junior KO/TKOs Parker Porter RD1. Tafa and Spann get those knockouts!

Cortes-Acosta vs. Brzeski
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, DEC
Waldo wins a decision by just putting up more volume in the strikes. I don't really give af about this fight.

Kazama vs. Armfield
Toshiomi Kazama, SUB, R2
Kazama SUB or bust. Armfield gets a KO/TKO or wins a decision. I'll take that L here.

Njokuani vs. Oleksiejczuk
Chidi Njokuani, DEC
50/50 fight as well. Personally rooting for Chidi. Land the harder shots and win a decision or find a KO. But I see Lord Michal winning too.

Song vs. Bedoya
Rolando Bedoya, TKO, R2
Iron Chin vs. Glass. Let's go Peru!

Choi vs. Errens
Jarno Errens, SUB, R3
Dog Lock of the Week. Ran out of lotion watching that Errens vs. Max Coga fight. I might even watch this fight naked.

Kino****a vs. Goff
Billy Goff, TKO, R1
Why Is Billy Goff A Underdog? I Get He's A "Dog" And Will Fight For Your Money And Always Takes Some Damage And Gives More Back I Mean This Guy's A Dog And A Underdog? No Doubt In My Mind Goff Will Win And After Seeing Kino****a Last Fight "Underdog" Is Crazy

Liang vs. Aldrich
JJ Aldrich, DEC
These Odds Are Crazy But I Get it JJ ALDRICH Will Be The Best Fighter Na Liang Has Ever Fought Even After Losing Her Last 2 She's Ungrading Opponents From Losing JJ Will Be Better Everywhere And She Out Classes Her For 3 Rounds Probably A 30-27

Choi vs. Errens
Jarno Errens, DEC
Seung Woo Choi Has Been The Favorite In The Last 3 Fights He Lost The Bookies Trust Him To Much I Could Be Wrong But I Can't Trust Him Nomore And Jarno Errens Is Good Wherever The Fight Goes

Sometimes older fighters get to a point when they have a huge fall off and can't beat anyone that's above average. Some good examples are Woodley, Ferguson, Glover (I think he was smart to retire after the Jamahal loss because he looked so much worse than in his previous fight). After Smith's last fight, I think he has reached that level. I'm not really a Spann fan (picked Krylov over him when I remember reading comments saying Spann "leveled up"), but I think Smith is at the point where he loses to anyone remotely good. Similar to Woodley not being able to beat Luque or Tony not being able to beat Bobby Green.

Thank you!

Will keep posting :)

Hopefully have the actual betting algo out in a few weeks. Which might make things interesting. For now its just good to use it as a companion to confirm some of your own suspicions, at least that's how I see it.

I don't blame people for thinking I'm trying to sell something as that seems to be the case with most projects of course. My first post in this thread actually got like 7 upvotes so that was nice.

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 605 Points   |   Tied for 1906th

Holloway vs. Jung
Max Holloway, TKO, R4
Is there any reason to pick Jung? Max ate a flush left on the money, connecting with the first two knuckles from Arnold. That's a ridiculous amount of force... and he spat out a four-shot combo right after. Even if Jung lands cleanly on the money, best case scenario is that it'll slightly buckle the knees. With that said, this sport is wild and I really don't want to anger the MMA Gods (though I wouldn't hate a TKZ victory).

Smith vs. Spann II
Ryan Spann, SUB, R1
I genuinely have no idea. Spann should win this; he can rock up Lionheart, and he can snatch his neck at the most opportune moments. But he does have a glass made of chin, one which Anthony smashed to win their first fight. It was a series of jabs that nearly put Spann away. That's ridiculous. Still, Superman won't lose this. It doesn't make sense for him to - especially if he hunts after the legs.

Chikadze vs. Caceres
Giga Chikadze, TKO, R1
There's a solid chance that this goes the distance and even ends up being FOTN, but it'll only take about three solid left kicks to the body, and Giga is levels above Alex as a striker, meaning that he should be able to walk him right into it as he's done with opponents of this calibre in the past - crafty vets finding their groove.

Blanchfield vs. Santos
Erin Blanchfield, DEC
Close fight. Blanchfield is just slightly better everywhere, but a Santos upset wouldn't really be an upset.

Njokuani vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R1
Chidi is good, but if he's standing with Michal, he's gotta be careful with every move - something we don't generally see out of him. Michal is a lot more calculated, and I think that's the difference-maker here.

Song vs. Bedoya
Rolando Bedoya, DEC
Bedoya is pretty solid. Kenan is on the wrong end of his career. I think a prospect will emerge.

Choi vs. Errens
Seung Woo Choi, TKO, R1
Seung's career has been disappointing. His muay thai prowess REALLY doesn't translate to MMA. Alas, I think he's absolute levels above Errens and should style on him here - potentially lifting him up off the chopping block.

I capped Smith v Spann today and I have to say I don't agree with a common sentiment I've read on here that Smith has checked out mentally. Yes he has his eye on what's coming after his fight career and he's under no illusions that he will become the LHW champion but I believe it's his body more than his heart that is failing him in these last few fights. His cardio was never good much past round 1 to begin with and now that he's visibly reacting very badly to getting hit and sustaining injuries mid fight it's easy to see how people might conclude he's mentally shot or quitting as he's stumbling across the cage from a leg injury, his mouth open.

If anything it's Spann that taps out alarmingly quick in fights, to Smith when they last fought and then to Krylov in his last bout. He's someone I see as more likely to quit if gassed or in a bad spot.
Every time he fights it's the same story, he hired a mental coach or he switched gyms, or did something else to fix the mental problems that is the only thing (in his mind) stopping him from being the LHW world champion.

Well Spann is absolutely unreliable but I have to pick the younger fighter whos body is still serving him. Smith after 15 hard years in the scene should probably save his body the punishment and move on from the sport.

Let me add something into the mix.

A lot of people are asking why this fight is happening. 

I can guarantee that it is because Anthony Smith requested it.

Apparently Ryan Span is always going to be his female dog.

So at least he is confident he will win.

And at least we won't have to watch him talking nonsense on TV for this event at least.
