Green should’ve beat Fiziev n Turner is not on Fizievs level. Fiziev is a great reference because him n Turner are both powerful, fast, have good striking n **** cardio. Turner is just a lot taller so that’s the only factor that plays into turners favor. Nothing else. He’s not gonna KO Green. If Fiziev can’t do it early, I don’t think Turner will. N Turners output isn’t even good. Tbh they both have **** output but at least green makes you miss more n gives more back. -200 on Turner just because of his height n age, no thanks. Y’all forget how good Green actually is. BELIEVE IN A NI-

IMO Jalin and Dan are similar fighters so it likely won’t have Bobby’s gameplan changed that much

When did Stoltzfus renounce his US citizenship? Pretty sure we all missed that.

Dariush vs. Tsarukyan
Beneil Dariush, DEC
Top lightweights scrappin it out, you gotta love it! Gonna go with Benny Boy here, putting on a performance similair to the one against Gamrot. Sure Tsarukyan might be better striking wise than Gamrot but he seems basing his game alot on his wrestling and we have seen him get rocked and with that said I think Benny got the tools to do it unless Oliveira took his chin. Either way gonna be a hell of a fight!
Turner vs. Green
Jalin Turner, TKO, R2
Sure Turner comin in on late notice and all but I dont see how Green can get this unless Turner gasses the worst way seen to man and if he's in that bad shape he wouldnt have taken the fight.
Font vs. Figueiredo
Deiveson Figueiredo, DEC
Figgy should be able to do what Sandhagen did but since he's a bit more wild and reckless I see him putting on more damage. If he's not smart and bangs with Font it will probably be a bad night...
Brady vs. Gastelum
Sean Brady, SUB, R2
I see Brady being able grapple Gastelum tired here and getting a late R2 sub or a dec.
Guida vs. Silva
Joaquim Silva, TKO, R2
Silva impressed last time against Tsarukyan and Im gonna go with him getting a finish on Guida with his wild intense style. Another scenario is Guida diving into a guilly.
Soriano vs. Stoltzfus
Punahele Soriano, TKO, R1
Puna comin in throwing bombs!
Tate vs. Avila
Julia Avila, DEC
Can Avila stop the takedown of Tate and box her up? I mean Tate half retired and making her comeback not looking her best and how will Avila look coming of a 2,5 year break with both knee surgery and having a kid? A lot of questions here.
Brundage vs. Reese
Zach Reese, TKO, R1
Okay Reese is very green but I mean at least he seems to wanna fight and go for the finishes. Dont wanna disrespect CB here but how can someone go with Brundage here after his recent performances?
Solecki vs. Klose
Joe Solecki, DEC
This is tough one here but gonna go with Solecki. Hope he can use his grappling and rack up control and punishment on the ground. Might even get a sub finish if he can get it there. Klose being 35 and coming of a ACL-injury is making me fade him..
Potieria vs. Bellato
Rodolfo Bellato, TKO, R1
Lets bang bro! Someone is going down, leaning towards Trator avenging the finish of his countryman legendary Shogun.
Turman vs. Gooden
Wellington Turman, DEC
Turman is a scrapper and Im gonna go with him here, putting faith in training under Glover for a while now will get some results. Dont know Gooden to well...
Horth vs. Hardy
Jamey-Lyn Horth, SUB, R3
Horth is the bigger one here, got two RNC in R3. Third one coming here. I dont f-in know...

Dariush vs. Tsarukyan
Arman Tsarukyan, DEC
This is one of the most difficult cards of the year to pick and even worse to bet on. There was a couple spots I liked but this card is full of unknowns and weird stylistic match ups. This is an incredibly tough fight to pick with paths to victory for both guys. I think arman has the bigger moments on the feet and that's the difference in a close decision. That being said, the number on Dariush is downright disrespectful and I will wait to be Arman live at a better number.
Turner vs. Green
Bobby Green, TKO, R3
Normally, I would take the distance control and leg kicks of Turner to get this done but he has had one of the worst looking fight weeks in recent memory. Dead on the scale, claiming he had no choice but to take the fight. You can't be 75% fighting Green. It will be a close fight but look for Green to take over in the 2nd and 3rd.
Font vs. Figueiredo
Deiveson Figueiredo, DEC
Fighters moving up in weight later in their careers rarely works well especially against top level competition. Figgy will not be able to use his size advantage like how he did at 125 and once Font starts landing his jab, it's over.
Brady vs. Gastelum
Sean Brady, SUB, R3
50/50 fight but I think Brady has improved his striking enough to be able to land the TD and Gastelum won't offer much off of his back. Brady dominates the control time and sinks in a late RNC.
Guida vs. Silva
Joaquim Silva, TKO, R2
Guida is very hittable and Silva throws with bad intentions. I will not bet on this fight however because there is a world where Guida outhustles Silva to a boring 29-28
Soriano vs. Stoltzfus
Punahele Soriano, TKO, R1
Both guys desperately need a win and are going to strike to get it. Stoltzfus keeps his head on the centerline far too often and Soriano is the type of guy to make you pay for that mistake. I like this to end early and violently
Tate vs. Avila
Julia Avila, DEC
Miesha is old and slow and probably wins this fight. Flip a coin and then don't bet on this fight.
Brundage vs. Reese
Zach Reese, TKO, R2
This will be Brundages last fight in the UFC. Chin high and naked takedowns are going to mean a long night for Cody. Give me Reese by Ko.
Solecki vs. Klose
Drakkar Klose, DEC
Another 50/50 fight. Klose has fought better competition but with the time off, who knows how he will look?
Potieria vs. Bellato
Rodolfo Bellato, TKO, R2
Bellato likely wins this fight but -450 is ridiculous. Poteria is an up and down fighter who blocks punches with his face but I'm not ready to lay that kind of chalk on Bellato yet.
Turman vs. Gooden
Jared Gooden, DEC
Wellington Turman should not be a -200 favorite against anyone at 170. Not super high on Gooden but he is the better athlete and that's good enough for me.
Horth vs. Hardy
Jamey-Lyn Horth, DEC
Horth is bigger and that's usually all it takes at low level wmma. Unless Dan has worked some serious magic, Veronica is not ufc calibre

Turman vs. Gooden
Jared Gooden, DEC
Combined UFC record here is 4-9. Yuck. Very torn because I could see this fight going either way. Turman is much more well rounded but he literally excels at nothing. Gooden is actually a decent boxer, but that's about it. I don't know why but I just see Turman having little to no success with his takedowns here.

Jamey-Lyn Horth, DEC
Horth is huge for flyweight.

Yeah because he literally went to school to learn German and be an interpreter. Not sure how that constitutes him "ditching" the USA. He's also not the only guy in the UFC that now trains abroad in another country. Your previous comment is bizarre.

I'm preparing for the worst outcomes today so I'm not pissed later. I'm talking bad judging/reffing. Parlay busters all up and down this card. No pick is safe today, bet wisely!!
