Ilia Topuria, TKO, R1
Volk is 35, coming off of a KO loss ~4 months ago. Ilia is extremely well-rounded with great KO power.

Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
Volk looks very confident, and has proven himself an amazing striker against others that would put him on the ropes, Ilia presents a big danger but has never gone up against a striker on the caliber of Volk, i see Volk dancing on the outside and outworking him on the distance, with grappling not being nullified
Whittaker vs. Costa
Robert Whittaker, DEC
Feel like Whittaker will have the advantage having been more active and showing more motivation, although with costa who knows maybe Rockhold just has a good chin after all
Neal vs. Machado Garry
Geoff Neal, TKO, R2
Dorime
Dvalishvili vs. Cejudo
Merab Dvalishvili, DEC
Spam takedowns=dub
Hernandez vs. Kopylov
Anthony Hernandez, SUB, R2
I feel like the grappling will be too much for Kopylov after all, and in desperation to escape in R2 or R3 he might give up his back or another sub
Lemos vs. Dern
Amanda Lemos, TKO, R1
Lemos is gonna smash the can't strike out of Dern
Quinlan vs. Barlow
Danny Barlow, TKO, R1
8 inches is more than you think
Nakamura vs. Vera
Rinya Nakamura, TKO, R1
Yeah sorry vera you ain't doing this
Zhang vs. Ribeiro
Brendson Ribeiro, TKO, R1
One will fall, flip a coin
Rogério de Lima vs. Tafa
Marcos Rogério de Lima, TKO, R2
Yeah no 1 day notice against a vet might be too much for Tafa
Woodburn vs. Elliott
Val Woodburn, TKO, R2
I vote for the mini fridge
Lee vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, DEC
Onlyfans vs looks more like a guy? Usually the more masculine woman wins ig
