If this fight stays on the feet, I can see Ricci looking more impressive and busy than Loopy would. If it goes on the mat, which I imagine would be initiated by Ricci and not Loopy, I can see Ricci threatening with submissions, potentially even finding one later in the fight.

Missed Opportunity.
Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 445 Points | Tied for 3086th
In my mind I am picturing a black and white poster with them facing each other. Jiri side has a ice blue color and Poatan has a green jungle color.
I've seen fan made vids for the fight that had me hyped up, with jiri swinging a katana and poatan stalking with a bow. This poster doesn't give me the same kind of emotion and anticipation for the fight.

Im looking at Pav vs Aspinal to finish in round 2 as a bit of a long shot, I can see Aspinal elusiveness and Pavlovich size making them hard to finish, also both of them being scary might stall the fight out a bit

@GumpGuy - Mackenzie Dern
Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 415 Points | Tied for 3559th
I will have to disagree that Dern has zero wrestling as in her last 5 fights she got 7 takedowns and gave up 0 takedowns. So she has 'some' wrestling, not great because of number of failed attempts but good enough to threaten. Mackenzie doesn't have good traditional wrestling but she puts herself in very good clinch positions, uses the cage very well and trips opponents to get the fight to the ground. Andrade has shown in recent fights that she is not very good in clinch positions other than the Murphy fight. But she was fighting short notice fights against some of the best grapplers and in multiple divisions. At the same time Andrade is lightning quick and very explosive, which will make it very hard for Mackenzie to clinch her and hold her for longer periods.

Michailidis was doing really well against Pereira in R1 until he realized he wasn't built for that type of size difference.

Diego Lopes, SUB, R1

Prediction Comments
Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 555 Points | Tied for 1304th
Jared Gordon, DEC
Madsen is a bit overrated and Gordon is a bit underrated in my opinion. In the last three years all Madsen has done is win two relatively close decisions against 40 year old men and get finished by Dawson. Gordon beat Paddy regardless of what those scorecards said and he was looking pretty solid against Green too before the clash of heads. He stuffs Madsen's takedowns and outclasses him on the feet. 30-27 UD
Kang vs. Castañeda
Kyung Ho Kang, DEC
Castañeda has wrestling in his back pocket, but his opponents are usually back to their feet pretty quickly when he does get a takedown. Kang has also shown good scrambling ability and doesn't accept being put on his back. With that being said, if this fight stays on the feet Kang is the far more technical striker. He should be able to use his jab to keep Casteñada at range, mix up his strikes, and point his way to a decisive 29-28 victory.
Van vs. Borjas
Joshua Van, DEC
This fight should be fun! Both of these young guys have hands and they're not afraid to stand and bang. I was a little bit more impressed with Van against Zhalgas than I was Borjas in his CS fight. His striking just looks a bit slicker to me. I'll take Van in a 29-28 banger. My FOTN lock 🔒
Buzukja vs. Emmers
Jamall Emmers, DEC
Emmers' has three losses in the UFC. Those opponents have a combined UFC record of 15-3. Two of those losses came by way of split decision, so he's a lot better than his record shows. Buzukja showed a lot of heart and toughness in his debut, but he lost all three rounds and didn't look like anything special. Emmers shouldn't be this big of a favorite, but he should be able to grab a decision win here. 29-28 UD
