Kinda annoyed we have to wait a year for the winner of the main event to get a title fight  because Valentina vs Grasso are coachs for the ultimate fighter, it kinda stalling out the division, I’m hype to see both these girls get title fights, especially Blanchfield, whom I think is a future champion the first time I saw her fight

Women flyweight is a pretty deep division, a few solid prospect  who I want to see fight, better division then the bad men division

Arce vs. Burns
Julio Arce, TKO, R2
Burns' last performance was pretty embarrassing but he's still a sub threat in the first round. Definitely expecting the wheels to come off if things don't go Burns' way early in which case Arce will likely get him out of there.

Erin x Manon

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 450 Points   |   Tied for 1184th

I think Manon will easily defend Erin's takedowns in the first 2 rds, but as long as the fight goes, she is eventually gonna get taken down. Once in the ground, I see Erin getting the better of it.

Great fight !

Not sure why anyone is confident in Fiorot's TDD either, it hasn't been tested and I doubt she will ko Erin when Santos couldn't.

Blanchfield vs. Fiorot
Manon Fiorot
I get there's a lot of hype around Blanchfield and I wouldn't be surprised if she wins either, but I wanna go with Fiorot.

Luque vs. Buckley
Joaquin Buckley, DEC
I'm willing to take the underdog pick on this one. Luque's a tough bastard but I think Buckley's been leveling up recently. Plus, Luque in my mind may be on the decline. His most recent win was a decision against an old RDA. The MMA math doesn't always add up, but in my mind I think Buckley would have finished RDA

Silva vs. Weidman
Bruno Silva, DEC
Just can't see Weidman making a comeback at this point man... he just needs to hang it up.

Njokuani vs. McKee
Chidi Njokuani, TKO, R2
It feels like Njoukuani should have been way better than he has been but at least bro has won in the UFC

Ruziboev vs. Dumas
Nursulton Ruziboev, SUB, R2
From experience alone

Algeo vs. Nelson
Bill Algeo, DEC
Algeo's decent. He can probably get something done here

Jandiroba vs. Godinez
Lupita Godinez, DEC
Loopy my beloved

Petroski vs. Malkoun
Andre Petroski, SUB
Bro did get ****** by Michel but bro is looking like a monster at 185 so I can give him a chance

Matthews vs. Buzukja
Connor Matthews, DEC
I'll trust you on this one Mr. Matthews, let's see how you do on your UFC debut.

Pacheco vs. Loughran
Angel Pacheco, DEC
Pacheco is honestly a tough bastard and that fight with Danny likely helped him level up. I'm going with the underdog pick on this one, because losing to a guy like that who's a real deal fighter isn't a big knock

Arce vs. Burns
Julio Arce, DEC
Herbert's still fighting? Really?

Aslan vs. Turkalj
Ibo Aslan, TKO, R2
Aslan is actually gonna get to avenge a loss and kick a can out of the UFC

Gatto vs. Dudakova
Victoria Dudakova, DEC
Eh I'll go with the undefeated russian lady for this one.

Landwehr vs. Emmers

The way some of these older guys are looking lately post-USADA, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Chris Weidman suddenly turns back the clock and looks healthy and spry against Silva.

Smoke and mirrors. I don't believe it until a young prospect pops. UFC couldn't care less about using Walt Harris for such a purpose.

Walt was popping before USADA too. He just got caught with even more in his system after the change. If anything he is the smoking gun proof that older guys are doing it. 

I'm sorry, as bad as Kennedy fought a few weeks ago, there was nothing natural about how OSP looked in the 3rd round of that fight. Two years ago he could barely beat the corpse of Shogun.

UFC is waiving the 6 month testing requirement for Jose Aldo just because he's Jose Aldo. We're in uncharted territory here gents. Anybody ignoring the obvious signs here is out to lunch.

I'd be so confident in Luque if this fight was like two years ago but ever since the brain bleed I'm super hestitant to pick Luque even if it is a favorable style match up. Buckley is vulnerable in his blitzing entries and doesn't respond super well to pressure from what I remember, but RDA stunned Luque a few times in that fight which isn't a great sign for his chin. At this point Buckley might be able to just stay out of the pocket and pepper him with kicks and 1-2s.

@gliese @foppa I think they were just trying to make an example of Walt and like you said it's Walt so who gives a ****. OSP looked like he was 30 again lol definitely gotta be on something

I think Buckley’s speed is going to give luque a lot of issues too. He is so explosive when he rushes in and luque looked really flat footed to me against rda. He was getting backed up to the fence easily and his defense didn’t look very improved either. He didn’t let his hands go nearly as much either. Maybe he will here since Buckley will force him to brawl but if he wants to wrestle I think Buckley is going to hurt him bad. Also his wrestling looks way better at 170, he still doesn’t have amazing control but his takedowns are so explosive & he times his shots well so he can catch you off guard
