Martin Buday TKO
It's crazy to see a lot of people betting on Shamil Gaziev. I bet on him in his last 3 fights, and even so, I'll go against him here. Didn't you watch his fight against Greg Velasco? He was already super tired just a few minutes into the fight, so much so that in the interview with Laura Sanko, Gaziev looked like he was going to die.
Martin Buday has good takedown defense and he will keep playing that annoying game of clinch and distance to tire Gaziev in the first round and will knock him out in the second.
Edwards vs. Covington
Leon Edwards, DEC
48x47, close fight.
Pantoja vs. Royval II
Alexandre Pantoja SUB
Pantoja kills him.
Rakhmonov vs. Thompson
Shavkat Rakhmonov SUB
Easy money.
Ferguson vs. Pimblett
Tony Ferguson TKO
Pimblett is funny.
Luque vs. Machado Garry

Easy fight for Ian Garry. I Don't like the irish fighters, but Vicente Luque is the most bum in the division at the same time people overrated him.
Emmett vs. Mitchell
Bryce Mitchell DEC
Menifield vs. Jacoby
Alonzo Menifield, DEC
Alonzo Menifield by wrestling.

Leon Edwards, TKO, R4
colby is so inactive nothing makes me believe hes ready for this fight i actually think if leon doesnt gas himself out he kos colby late
Pantoja vs. Royval II
Alexandre Pantoja, SUB, R1
same fight as last time with a faster output same result
Rakhmonov vs. Thompson
Shavkat Rakhmonov, SUB, R2
could be great standing fight but knowing shavkat always wants a finish tells me he gets this one down and subs wonderboy remember when belal almost finished wonderboy lmao
Ferguson vs. Pimblett
Tony Ferguson, TKO, R2
please god please let this blonde **** leave his chin in the air
Luque vs. Machado Garry
Ian Machado Garry, TKO, R3
ian cuck garry uses all the anger to fuel him and put on a clinic against luque i still dont think luque will ever be the same again
Emmett vs. Mitchell
Josh Emmett, DEC
could be FOTN i think emmett is clearly the harder hitter and just overall stronger especailly due to his build i see him getting up from takedowns quite well and hitting bryce with clean jabs and rights to win a split decision
Aldana vs. Rosa
Irene Aldana, DEC
eh i can not recall a single rosa fight and will not bother to watch tape considering aldana just fought for the belt she should outclass rosa right?
Garbrandt vs. Kelleher
Cody Garbrandt, TKO, R2
kelleher is the perfect match for cody hes going to swing for the fences but hes slow and cody will counter clean and sleep brian
O'Neill vs. Lipski
Casey O'Neill, TKO, R2
casey find the takedown and grounds and pounds lipskis face in
Menifield vs. Jacoby
Alonzo Menifield, SUB, R2
so jacoby could most definitley find the early ko from alonzo rushing in kind of like how OSP koed him but jacoby doesnt have the greatest takedown defense and if he gets taken down i do believe alonzo will keep him there and either find the ko or sub
Ulanbekov vs. Durden
Cody Durden, DEC
going to be a boring fight for sure but i believe durden does alot more over the span of 15 minutes to impress the judges over tagirs wet blanket style
Fili vs. Almeida
Lucas Almeida, TKO, R2
Fili is too chinny to be trusted Almeida looked terrible in his last fight cause he got wrestle****** i expect this fight to look like the trizano fight with Almeida finding the ko a round earlier due to fili having no chin
Gaziev vs. Buday
Shamil Gaziev, TKO, R1
Gaziev please sleep this boring ****
Brown vs. Salikhov
Randy Brown, DEC
fun fight to start the card brown will be faster i think we see muslim is slowing down with age and brown is going to keep coming with volume to pick up a ud or late sub
