Friendly advice: From your question, it seems like you’re on Gatto’s side. Don’t let her last 3 UFC fights fool you; she was injured in DWCS and wasn’t at 100% in the fight with Frey.

Manon Fiorot, DEC
Low key this is one of the best fights at 125 of all time, on paper. I been on Fiorot’s title journey since she got in and Erin is as good as it gets in this division. This is most certainly going all 5 rounds, the gas tank for Manon worries me with the pace. Makes me lean this will be a first fight of an eventual trilogy for these two. This might be Erin’s time by 48-47. But I am siding with Manon and my original thoughts on these two. 49-46, 48-47, 47-48 Split. Everyone will be clamoring about the 49-46 scorecard but very close fight. Manon squeaks it out in a tough one.
Luque vs. Buckley
Joaquin Buckley, TKO, R1
Buckley lands a highlight reel counter hook out cold KO to one of the first few Luque headkicks.
Silva vs. Weidman
Bruno Silva, TKO, R2
Early round 2 Bruno lands the crushing fight ender. Brutal. Weidman might eventually hang it up tonight.
Ruziboev vs. Dumas
Nursulton Ruziboev, SUB, R1
Ankle Hook after Ruzi, Aoki’ his way to a submission quickly.
Algeo vs. Nelson
Kyle Nelson, DEC
30-27x2 29-28 Nelson almost puts Algeo out in the third and from there its clearly all Nelson.
Njokuani vs. McKee
Rhys McKee, DEC
29-28x3 Uni. McKee picks up heat as he goes on and this being his second stint and possibly final shot in the UFC, he has to pick it up earlier, he does.
Landwehr vs. Emmers
Nate Landwehr, DEC
30-27 29-28, 28-29 Split Dec but Landwehr shows out in the third and in the final minute.
Jandiroba vs. Godinez
Lupita Godinez, DEC
30-27x2 30-26 it’s a real close fight but clear for Lupita every round except one judge goes the extra distance to be an ******* and pins a 10-8 round against Virna for salt on the wound.
Arce vs. Burns
Herbert Burns, DEC
29-28x3 Lets see if Herbert can stifle Arce’s pace beyond round 1.
Matthews vs. Buzukja
Connor Matthews, DEC
Split 29-28x2 28-29 Matthews keeps a much more steady pace.
Aslan vs. Turkalj II
Ibo Aslan, TKO, R1
Ibo knows the gameplan here and gets it done FAST. 2 mins KO.
Gatto vs. Dudakova
Victoria Dudakova, DEC
29-28x3 Uni. Gatto keeps walking into great, fight changing straights.
Petroski vs. Malkoun
Jacob Malkoun, SUB, R1
Petroski gets rocked and lunges for a takedown. A rare submission attempt from Malkoun is to deep to defend against. Petroski taps.
Pacheco vs. Loughran
Caolán Loughran, TKO, R2
Ground and pound tko trapped on the cage.

Angel Pacheco, TKO, R3
Who is watching Angel Pacheco's fight vs Danny Silva and thinking he's going to lose to 0 striking defense Caolan Loughran? Pacheco smokes him with a hook after eating a few himself in a firefight. Love the nearly +300 ML for Pacheco

Bruno Silva, DEC
Both guys are super tough and have good chins so I’m thinking 29-28 dec
Ruziboev vs. Dumas
Nursulton Ruziboev, SUB, R2
Very interesting fight Dumas might be a tier below so I expect a finish
Njokuani vs. McKee
Chidi Njokuani, TKO, R2
Chidi at 170 kinda worries me
Landwehr vs. Emmers
Jamall Emmers, DEC
Nate is tough but could get finished
Aslan vs. Turkalj II
Ibo Aslan, TKO, R1
Aslan is a fun prospect
Pacheco vs. Loughran
Caolán Loughran, TKO, R1
Pacheco isn’t ufc level

Virna Jandiroba, DEC
I don't get this. Jandiroba's fought the much higher level of opposition and I haven't seen a drop off so what's up here?

Manon Fiorot, DEC
i'll hedge and hope to be wrong. both legitimate talent. erin has the tenacity to walk through fire to find her distance, but i'm unsure manon will stick around at any one point for too long and she probably has a range advantage. would love to be wrong and see erin show off her topgame again! could happen if she can find her way inside consistently.
Luque vs. Buckley
Vicente Luque, DEC
maybe luque gets him down, but i'll say he plays more outside. maybe fotn?
Silva vs. Weidman
Bruno Silva, DEC
not gonna bother overthinking this one and considering who chris was before the leg break, he's not that guy anymore. his boxing will look good for a couple min, he claims to have an answer for kicks now, but he's not the submission threat he once was and that's gonna let bruno go for it a bit. whatever, i'm not gonna waste a pick taking chris at this point, but honestly wouldn't be surprised to see silva find a way to give away a fight again.
Ruziboev vs. Dumas
Nursulton Ruziboev, TKO, R2
low confidence in dumas, nursulton has a mix of quality in opponents but is a proven finisher. question will be does he gas if he can't get sedriques out of there early?
Algeo vs. Nelson
Bill Algeo, DEC
i know padilla falls into this category, but nelson has had issues with rangy strikers and i'm not sure he'll be looking to put bill on his back like past opponents have.
Njokuani vs. McKee
Chidi Njokuani, TKO, R2
neither guy seems poised to take advantage of the other's grappling deficiencies. hard to say how chidi looks at 170, but stylistically this is an opponent that will engage him in standup and he's sharp. question is just how much does his chin have left? mckee has never won a decision, so i'd have to give chidi the advantage there. guess i'm also leaning that way because of range.
Landwehr vs. Emmers
Jamall Emmers, DEC
emmers' footwork might frustrate nate a bit, but he kinda likes crashing in anyway. question will be how often can he force jamall into a dogfight? i'll say not often enough.
Jandiroba vs. Godinez
Lupita Godinez, DEC
i'm gonna hope to be wrong here, but i feel like virna has had issues when she didn't have a grappling advantage and loopy likely won't be too afraid to play there. loopy also likely has the edge in striking and very likely in volume so she can probably just keep it standing too if desired.
Arce vs. Burns
Julio Arce, TKO, R3
always the chance herbert catches something, but arce has done a good job staying off his back in the ufc and seems to have an edge in terms of clean striking so i'm gonna run with the crowd and say he stings herbert for overcommitting.
Matthews vs. Buzukja
Connor Matthews, DEC
much more reasonable opponent for dennis and he may land some big power, but i'll say matthews finds takedowns and can get dennis tired.
Aslan vs. Turkalj II
Ibo Aslan, TKO, R1
it's actually kind of hilarious that the general picking rule of "anyone over turkalj" could be possibly uprooted by simply bringing in someone that he already beat! on top of that, the dude has been crushing actual cab drivers since aside from a single opponent (who also has a padded record from crushing rookies & jobbers). aslan gassed really bad in the first fight, collecting paychecks doesn't make me feel like he's fixed that, but i'm gonna stick to the rule and hope he's just more accurate this time and clinches less.
Gatto vs. Dudakova
Victoria Dudakova, DEC
trying to figure out the booking angle here. gatto might have an argument to have won the lipski fight, dudakova coming up to 125 after fighting an atomweight. feeling like gatto's power may dictate the standup so can dudakova find her entrances and drag it down consistently? i'll say okay sure.
Petroski vs. Malkoun
Andre Petroski, DEC
might be a fun ground battle and will probably hinge on who can end up on top. malkoun is probably more technical and andre "goes for it" significantly more, leaving himself open, but i'm not sure malkoun has the hands to make him pay for trying to get close.
Pacheco vs. Loughran
Caolán Loughran, DEC
loughran has had the better wins, but pacheco seems durable so it'll be a question of if loughran can mix it up and stop pacheco from using pace as a weapon. first fight at bw though having previously fought at lw so hard to say if he'll look big or just drained, but i'll stick with the favorite since he put up a decent fight against a game lapilus.

Erin Blanchfield, DEC
One of the more interesting matchups for this division, I’m not super into Blanchfield like some others might be??? However her style is far more suitable for a 5 Round Main-Event.
