The most likely outcome is Luque, Ferguson and Wonderboy losing in ways that make me sad back to back to back. I really hope I’m wrong, I don’t want to see it

Those are definitely people's most confident picks from what I've seen from everybody lol

Just to straight forward, but with how the last 2 cards went wouldn't be surprised if Tony imanari rolled Paddy, and Luque fortnite danced over Ian Garry's wife.

Shavkat to win by finish is -175, that's insane.
I recommend everyone jump on that.

I don’t want to bet Vicente because he has brain bleeding problem. I think the science term is brain hemeridging, he’s lucky to be alive right now, also to be able to still fight, I’m still very sus about it. 

Really hope the doctor/commesion or whomever is correct and Vicente is ok to fight, they be nothing sadder then something happening to Vicente because they aloud him to fight, also be terrible for MMA in general

Predictions: 0 of 5 Winners, 0 Perfect, 0 Points   |   Tied for 6180th

O'Neill vs. Lipski
Casey O'Neill, DEC
Gonna be mad at myself if Lipski wins this as I sat here and wanted to pick her very bad but just don't think keep up with Casey's output as far as how much she throws and damage and Lipski has been known to let her guard down.

Edwards vs. Covington
Leon Edwards, TKO, R3
Colby will try to blanket Leon, Leon will probably be hesitant to strike because of that, but i hope he'll find opening and destroy Cringenton. Colby got this titleshot by selling his cringe-worthy awful persona and i hope he wont succeed

To be honest, all his fights (taking aside his last fight against Parisian) are no good: He was outclassed in the first round by Collier, but Jake can’t stand the pace and Buday has a lot of success in clinch at Round 2 and 3. To be Honest Buday rely his fights in Clinching and scores with knees to the body in a Really Boring way. The Only Problem is: How good is Gaziev Gas Tank? If he has a decent cardio, he gonna destroy Buday in the Round 1 or 2.

Gaziev has like 90 seconds of cardio but he can 100% get buday out of there in round 1
