Thank god for the Aspinall' s and Pavlovich' s of the MMA world, without them the heavyweight division would not just be shallow but completely dead.

But that's why I don't bet! I don't remember if I even submitted a pick. Just FWIW, not a ridiculous pick imo.

A lot of the Elite HW are aging and not elite anymore so leap frog is inevitable.

An exemple is Jailton Almeida, before the boring Lewis fight he was 5-0 in the UFC (all finishes) and they did not move him further because on top of the names I said before there was also Sergei waiting. It's to congested at the top right now.

I remember getting downvoted for telling people how confident I was in Lipski though so I'm not sure taking general opinion on Tap is always the key to success.
For anyone worried I didn't even consider placing a wager either side on the Buday fight.
I haven't read whatever the comment about Buday was since I have them blocked, which as an aside requires a very concerted effort of spewing fort inane never ending stream of consciousness ravings for me to bother, but Buday isn't really a hard hitting criticism in my opinion, go back in my pick history and you can find a lot better material to lambast me over lol.

Farid Basharat, DEC
Both are solid, but Basharat is more well rounded and should be able to use his wrestling and ground game to take the decision.
Wilson vs. Silva
Jean Silva, TKO, R1
Odds are way too wide for Silva being unproven, but Wilson might be the worst pound for pound male fighter on the roster. Silva is a dangerous, unorthodox striker. He throws something wild early and catches Wilson for the highlight reel KO.
Nolan vs. Motta
Tom Nolan, TKO, R1
Nikolas "No Chin" Motta doesn't stand a chance against a striker like Nolan. The universe is coming to collect for that "No Contest" he got gifted in his last fight. He's about to go night night.
Bunes vs. Van
Joshua Van, TKO, R3
The only way Van loses this is if he wrestles and gets caught in a submission. If he keeps it standing he's going to either get the finish or win a 30-27 UD.
