But the way he loses this fight will be so ******* annoying

What solid underdogs, this card should be called “Road To Nowhere” you mean like Kung Fu Grandma ? Like Antony “My Knees Are Shot” Smith, like Fernie ”The Fraud” Garcia or Taila “The Tool Box Eater” Santos ?

Bedoyas volume and pressure will be too much for Kenan Song who likes to keep the fight slow paced, i dont see it. I think Rolando will destroy drown him. Bedoya has better durability

Can’t believe Dana booked Holloway vs Zombie. That fight is gonna be so sad. Zombie is old and washed and still has the hunger I’ll give him that but is way past his prime. He also just took an absolute beatdown from Volkanovski who is not nearly as brutal as Holloway (he is the better fighter out of the two though). Zombie is gonna be beat so badly that the UFC will have to start a blood drive for him because of the amount of blood he will lose. I’m sorry, but this is just terrible booking from the UFC. Should’ve gave Zombie an easy fight so he could go out on a win instead of just feeding him to Holloway. And the worst part is Holloway doesn’t benefit from this win at all. What would be next if Holloway won? A fourth Volkanovski fight? After losing to him 3 times? Come on Dana. You’re better than this.

@AyyLmaonnaise you think? I was pretty high on him before he **** the bed against Fugitt, still like him here but much more nervous now, was curious to see what others think

Ya I think this is a perfect style matchup for him. Goff is a brawler who barely uses his wrestling. If you watch literally any fight of his, goff either gets dropped, rocked, or put in a compromising position in every first round. He’s able to tough through it and finish the guys, but these are also regional guys with bad durability. One thing I noticed is that even when rocked, goff still wants to stand and bang. For example, in the balleto fight, he got rocked badly & his opponent pulled guillotine. Instead of engaging on the ground with him, goff stood right back up despite still being visibly rocked. In a pure standup fight, Yusaku is sooo much better technically than goff. Add the fact goff has shoddy defense and gets rocked every fight, I thjnk this is the perfect style matchup for Yusaku to get back on track. I’m also not worried about godf wrestling; he likes to stand and bang too much and also barely wrestles on tape

Maybe against my better judgment, but I also like Errens in this spot. It's a close fight though, so I might flip flop between picks. Also, I'm willing to accept all the mockery after this Saturday, but don't put even a cent on Blanchfield. This fight is Santos's to lose

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 505 Points | Tied for 3005th

Holloway vs. Jung
Max Holloway, DEC
I see max putting on a clinic. Only question is over or under 450 significant strikes for Holloway? Max 50-44

Smith vs. Spann II
Ryan Spann, DEC
I think spann is dog**** other than his athleticism but smith looks so much worse than he did 2 years ago when he beat spann.

Chikadze vs. Caceres
Alex Caceres, DEC
I think caceres is more well rounded and durable enough to not get finished by giga. I don't think giga will be able to avoid the grappling & if he doesn't get a finish I don't see him being able to out point caceres all fight.

Nakamura vs. Garcia
Rinya Nakamura, TKO, R1
Rinya seems like a beast I do question what his cardio is like if he doesn't get a 1st round finish but I don't think Garcia is the dude to expose his cardio even if he doesn't get finished

Blanchfield vs. Santos
Erin Blanchfield, DEC
Blanchfield is only 24 & is already one of the best flyweights in the division & keeps getting better

Tafa vs. Porter
Parker Porter, DEC
Probably a dumb pick but tafas grappling is non existent. He'll still probably get an immediate KO but I'll stick with porter

Cortes-Acosta vs. Brzeski
Łukasz Brzeski, DEC
WCA really doesn't impress me. Brzeski is pretty trash but I believe he'll be the better striker in a mostly standup fight. WCA can't defend a leg kick to save his life

Kazama vs. Armfield
Garrett Armfield, DEC
Maybe kazama can get a sub because armfields grappling defense is bad but arnfield looked somewhat decent against Onama on short notice and kazama is a can crusher

Njokuani vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R3
Chidi is probably the better striker in a mostly standup fight but he mentally quits so easily when the fight isn't completely going his way it's hard to pick him plus oleksiejczuk is durable

Song vs. Bedoya
Rolando Bedoya, TKO, R3
I thought bedoya could have beaten khaos Williams in his last fight. I like the pressure, volume, & durability of bedoya

Kino****a vs. Goff
Billy Goff, TKO, R2
Back and forth on this one. Their both so green & have major holes in his game. Kino****a is the better striker but Goff seems to be tougher

Liang vs. Aldrich
JJ Aldrich, DEC
Liang is trash

Choi vs. Errens
Jarno Errens, SUB, R3
Choi is a chinny kickboxer who I always fade. Errens has that dawg in him

There’s nothing technical about Yusaka. The way he walked down Fuggit was like a brain dead zombie on The Walking Dead. He doesn’t counter, create openings, set traps or make reads offensively or defensively. His strikes “look” good with snap on them. But it’s like a kid button mashing and not knowing the defensive controls at the same time.

He doesn’t counter? Did you miss when he slept his opponent on dwcs with a counter punch? He literally slipped the left from Souza and fired back with a counter right that put him out cold. That sounds like someone who counters and makes defensive reads to me
