@Krakatazo 
yes there was an old fight that was set as Submission to strikes.  Generally on Tapology we try to classify those as KO/TKO instead of submission. But there's a million fights and not all of them are input correctly.  I've just fixed the one in question so it's now a TKO, with Tapout to Strikes as the detail.

Joanderson Brito by R1 murder or R2 mauling. If it gets to round 3 Pearce can win.

Pearce needs to survive the storm in round 1 and his chances of winning this fight will go up by a lot however I don't think he will.

It’s starts at 5am in my time zone, I love it when UFC starts early so I can wake up and watch fights, this is the best time for cards to start for me, even tho this is the dictionary definition of apex card, I’m hype to watch it earlier

Medic opened as the +145 dog on BOL. Orolbai getting a ton of respect from the oddsmakers.

Duncan is a -400 fav over Tiuliulin, seems accurate tbh.

Medic at plus odds is a steal, considering he was upwards of -300 against Parsons.

Yeah, but Parsons is also a vastly different, and inferior fighter than Orolbai as well. If the short-notice doesn't mess up his cardio I think he probably wins.

@Thesnake101 
Of course. It's a way more interesting match up. I just think it's wild that the guy with more UFC experience and better wins (on paper) is the underdog. Medic has been the underdog in like 2-3 of his UFC wins, too.

@thesnake a lot of talk from cappers was to bet orolbai. Must’ve influenced the line

Paul Craig by submission +750 is quite nice, He the Jiu-jitsu Derrick Lewis so him by sub at +750 against anyone is good

I like Allen by sub vs his KO line as well. 6 of his 7 UFC finishes have been subs, if he hurts Craig he's definitely going to try and hunt for an RNC.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 4 Perfect, 615 Points   |   Tied for 643rd

Allen vs. Craig
Paul Craig, DEC
49-46. 48-47x2. Uni, Craig wins 3,4,5 and arguably one of the first two. Good fight however but the smaller cage leads me to pick the stronger grappler and stronger man, even with the cut, Craig seemed to absolutely love this division his last outing.

Matthews vs. Morales
Michael Morales, TKO, R1
Morales much more aggressive here than usual, he hunts down Mathews' footwork. He baits him into a giant Left hook that drops Jake. Morales finishes it there.

Leavitt vs. Hooper
Chase Hooper, SUB, R2
Armbar in the middle of the round, Hooper excels here.

Talbott vs. Aguirre
Payton Talbott, TKO, R1
Talbott puts Aguirre out COLD.

Ribas vs. Pinheiro
Luana Pinheiro, DEC
30-27x2 29-28 Uni, Luana actually dominates here.

Medic vs. Orolbai
Myktybek Orolbai, TKO, R1
Cross Counter, to ground and pound as Uros spins and spins trying to obtain a leg. Orolbai TKO finish.

Motta vs. Ogden
Nikolas Motta, DEC
29-28x2 27-30, Split dec for Motta.

Pudilová vs. Perez
Ailin Perez, DEC
29-28x3 uni.

Parkin vs. Machado
Mick Parkin, DEC
A solid HW fight, Parkin plays a great gameplan and has Caio moving side to side and pressing backwards. Both men bloodied. 29-28x Uni.

Pearce vs. Brito
Jonathan Pearce, SUB, R3
JSP lands demoralizing ground and pound, he hops on a defenseless neck. Brito taps.

Anheliger vs. Johnson
Jose Johnson, DEC
Jose wins a strongly fought decision where Chad's pace picks up consistently, good win. 30-27x3

Johnson vs. Estevam
Charles Johnson, DEC
Split 30-27,29-28, 28-29

Alexander vs. Saragih
Jeka Saragih, TKO, R1
Jeka catches an overly confident Alexander.

Duncan vs. Tiuliulin
Christian Leroy Duncan, TKO, R2
Strong cage control and CLD grind and delivers solid GnP as Denis starts to fade. TKO finish.
