Mario Bautista
Bautista's sheer size advantage over the now-mullet-less Simon is laughable; it's like watching a heavyweight face off against a featherweight. Simon might have shed his mullet, but he's also shedding any hope of standing a chance against the powerhouse that is Bautista. This fight is less of a competition and more of a foregone conclusion – a brutal mismatch that even the most clueless gambler could cash in on.

Jim Miller
Lyme disease or not, Miller's experience and skill level far surpass the mediocrity of Benitez. It's comical to think that a fighter like Benitez stands any chance against a seasoned veteran like Miller, even with an ailment. Betting on Benitez in this matchup is like throwing money down the drain – a rookie mistake that only clueless gamblers would make.

Magomed Ankalaev
Ankalaev, backed by Kadyrov's muscle, is about to make a mockery of the bizarre antics of the Brazilian sideshow Walker. Walker's flashy style might entertain the casual fans, but it won't save him from the clinical beatdown Ankalaev is about to deliver. Betting on Walker is like flushing money down the toilet – a move only the clueless would entertain.

Magomed Ankalaev, DEC
This fight will either be very fun or completely boring.
Miller vs. Benítez
Jim Miller, TKO, R3
Miller the vet easy win here, Benitez good leg kicks, nothing else.
Simón vs. Bautista
Ricky Simón, SUB, R3
Too much pressure for Bautista
Hawes vs. Ferreira
Brunno Ferreira, TKO, R2
Gas Tank Contest
Arlovski vs. Cortes-Acosta
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, TKO, R2
Waldo only getting better. Hate to pick against Andrei.
Semelsberger vs. Parsons
Matthew Semelsberger, TKO, R2
Odds very close, not sure what I'm missing here.
McGhee vs. Bolaños
Marcus McGhee, TKO, R1
McGhee proved himself in 2023. Didn't expect Bolanos to win against Aaron, could be wrong again
Basharat vs. Lapilus
Farid Basharat, DEC
Basharat got his first UFC finish his last time out. Lapilus is tough.
Wilson vs. Silva
Jean Silva, TKO, R1
Silva easiest pick this event.
Nolan vs. Motta
Tom Nolan, TKO, R2
Nolan is a sniper. Motta is disappointing.
Bunes vs. Van
Joshua Van, DEC
Van too quicker sharper and mixes weapons better.

As if you pick everything correctly.
At least I don't talk through my buttocks about trash regional fighters who I know nothing about, hyping them up as "UFC prospects " only to see them be beaten like dusty carpet

This was probably a title contender eliminator for him.
I wonder if the Brazilian said no or if it was the commission.

Johnny Walker, TKO
I belive walker can suprise us all, and KO Ankalaev tonight with one of his unpredictable, unorthodox punch. Knee, High kick, or Elbow is coming...
Miller vs. Benítez
Jim Miller
Jim Miller all the way baby. This guy have to give a lot more.
Hawes vs. Ferreira
Brunno Ferreira
Brunno is a new Prospect, and i think this boy has all you need to be on the top. So i will go with Bruno, more complete fighter.
