Alex Pereira, TKO, R3
Pereira’s best weapon outside of his lead left hook are his leg kicks. Hill just ruptured his Achilles so I don’t think he’ll be able to deal with them well (he never has anyways), and in his southpaw stance when he throws the straight left his lead right hand is sometimes lower than it should be. Pereira by 3rd round TKO via left hook followed by ground strikes is my pick.
Zhang vs. Yan
Weili Zhang, TKO, R5
I personally think Yan Xiaonan is underrated and improving. However, I still thinks she is steps below Zhang Weili in every aspect. On the feet, I believe Weili has more tools and a power advantage. And on the ground I think we can all agree Weili is better there as well. Weili submitted Esparza (after outgrappling her) the same girl who TKO’d Xiaonan on the ground. I see this being a one sided fight for Zhang Weili. My final pick is Zhang Weili by round 5 TKO from ground and pound.
Gaethje vs. Holloway
Justin Gaethje, TKO, R3
I’m excited for this one! I think Holloway is being really discredited here. However, I think Gaethje will finish this fight for a few reasons. Holloway doesn’t check leg kicks (exposed by Volk), he takes so much damage in majority of his fights and is extremely hittable. Also another thing to point out, Holloway got shook in all of his last 4 fights (Yair, Volk 3, Allen, TKZ) people who hit nothing like Gaethje. I also find that Holloway cuts easily. I see Holloway out landing Gaethje throughout this fight but absorbing tons of damage. My final pick is Justin Gaethje by 3rd round TKO via doctors stoppage.
Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan
Arman Tsarukyan, TKO, R2
Big fan of Do Bronx! However I have to go with Arman. Oliveira struggles to use his jiu-jitsu against wrestlers. Arman has good top control when he gets it to the ground, and he has nasty ground and pound as well. Oliveira will throw up submissions off of his back but I just don’t see him catching Arman off of his back. On the feet, Oliveira has a change since his favorite punch is the left hook and that’s the punch that always catches Arman (caught him badly against Joaquim Silva) I also feel like Arman has a chance on the feet as well though since Oliveira’s defense and head movement just don’t exist and Arman has some nasty power. Personally I think Arman just has way more options than Charles as much as it hurts me to say. And I think we see Arman get it done by late second round TKO via ground strikes.
Nickal vs. Brundage
Bo Nickal, SUB, R1
Ok first of all, get this off the main card, secondly Bo Nickal will submit Cody Brundage in round 1 via arm triangle. Realistically Bo Nickal is just better than Cody Brundage. The only ways Brundage can win is either by fluke KO, another slam, or another DQ that was unwarranted.
Procházka vs. Rakić
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R2
Ok this fight is actually really close. What I see is Aleksandar Rakic kicking at the lead leg of Jiri Prochazka early. Rakic will remain composed and give Jiri a lot of issues. However I see Jiri eventually just like classic Jiri, pulling something crazy either a flying knee or a spinning elbow and putting the lights out. Rakic just seems like the guy to fall for it and Jiri has underrated feints and traps.

Gaethje vs. Holloway
Max Holloway, DEC
Holloway has the style and the chin to counter gaethje all night long

Arman Tsarukyan, TKO, R2
MMA makes 0 sense I want do Bronx to win but think he gets chinned in the 2nd by the surging Armenian
Procházka vs. Rakić
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R2
Rakic lost to volkan oezdemir and jiri has aspergers which is the best base for mma

Kayla Harrison, TKO, R2
I don't get why people hate this fight. Yeah, fck WMMA but it's Holm VS Double Olympic Medalist. Harrison is probably going to takedown Holm, rain elbows (a privilege she didn't have in the PFL, but has used extensively) and rinse and repeat in round two.
Yusuff vs. Lopes
Diego Lopes, TKO, R3
I think Diego Lopes is still focusing on his striking
Turner vs. Moicano
Renato Moicano, DEC
Haven't seen how Moicano fights, but hey if he doesn't get KOed then we'll see what happens.
Andrade vs. Rodriguez
Jéssica Andrade, TKO, R2
Normally I'd say a decision, but both have them have gotten KOs and BEEN KOed... many times.
Green vs. Miller

Jim F*CKING Miller
Figueiredo vs. Garbrandt

Calvin Kattar, DEC
Calvin Kattar has only been taken down twice in his entire UFC career. He has shown great takedown defense and Aljamain’s takedown accuracy is only 24% in the UFC. I can maybe see Aljamain getting 1 or 2 takedowns but Kattar will get right back up. And on the feet, let’s just say it how it is, Kattar is just better. 30-27 decision win for Calvin Kattar is my pick.
Holm vs. Harrison
Kayla Harrison, DEC
My prediction is that the fight gets cancelled due to a weight miss by Kayla. However if she does make the weight I think she outgrapples Holly Holm to a decision. She’s a lot bigger than Holly, and I just can’t trust Holly anymore at her age anymore. My final pick is a 30-27 decision win for Kayla Harrison.
Yusuff vs. Lopes
Diego Lopes, SUB, R3
Underrated fight right here. I think Yusuff will hurt Lopes early and drops him. I think Lopes will survive in what is a 10-8 round for Sodiq Yusuff in round 1. In the second round I think we see a gassed Sodiq Yusuff and a takeover from Lopes. I see Diego Lopes eventually outgrappling and even outstriking a gassed Sodiq Yusuff and eventually hurting him and then submitting him. My final pick is Diego Lopes via submission in round 3 by triangle choke.
Turner vs. Moicano
Jalin Turner, TKO, R1
Big fan of Renato. However, I think we see an annihilation here by Jalin Turner. Renato has literally no chin, his striking isn’t the best, and he’s extremely open and hittable. Not to mention the size difference between the two is mental. Turner used to be a welterweight and Moicano used to be a featherweight. Turner also has nasty power in his hands and I think that’s how he will win this fight. My final pick is Jalin Turner by 1st round KO.
Andrade vs. Rodriguez
Marina Rodriguez, TKO, R2
Honestly I think Andrade is done. Her striking is still alright but she’s so open and I don’t like it. She got rocked by Mackenzie Dern. Yes that’s right Mackenzie Dern rocked Jessica Andrade. And Yan Xiaonan who doesn’t really have power nearly knocked her out cold. Rodriguez has underrated power and I think the pressure that she puts on will be too much for Andrade. My final pick is Rodriguez by second round standing TKO.
Green vs. Miller
Bobby Green, DEC
I think a lot of people are picking Jim Miller because of the ref that nearly took Bobby Green’s life last time out. However, if Green’s brains are still somewhat there I think he wins this fight. I think he is a way better striker than Jim Miller. Miller has decent kicks but he cannot compete in the boxing with Bobby Green. Sure Miller can take it to the ground and find a submission, but for the majority of the fight, I see Green outstriking Miller to a decision. Unless Green is done after the last KO loss my final pick is Bobby Green by 30-27 boxing clinic.
Figueiredo vs. Garbrandt
Deiveson Figueiredo, TKO, R2
I want Cody Garbrandt to win this fight so badly. However, I just can’t see it happening. Figgy is just too well rounded, too powerful, and Cody is too chinny at this point in his career. I would say this version of Cody has a better chance at winning this fight than the old version of Cody. However I think Cody Garbrandt has taken so much damage throughout his career that he gets slept brutally in this fight. Deiveson Figueiredo is not Trevin Jones or Brian Kelleher. My final pick for this fight is Deiveson Figueiredo by brutal 2nd round KO.

Jamahal Hill, TKO, R2
Yes... Glover was tagging Jamahal hill with the left hook and other shots. Yes, Hill's footwork isn't great and he smoking too much weed. But the southpaw stance, power... I hope Pereira wins but I'm picking Hill. Pereira can't calf kick like he normally does on a southpaw... and he almost lost to the only southpaw he's ever faced in the UFC.
Zhang vs. Yan
Weili Zhang, SUB, R4
Zzzzzzz... I like Zhang but I know it's not gonna be a great fight (although I hope that I'll be wrong)
Gaethje vs. Holloway
Max Holloway, DEC
Unmovable object vs Unstoppable force. This could have totally been the main event and should have been the comain. Picking Max for the chin, and the fact that he's finally sparring again
Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan
Charles Oliveira, TKO, R2
Oliveira either finishes or gets finished
Nickal vs. Brundage
Cody Brundage, TKO, R2
This is gonna get Cody from 8k to 100k followers
Procházka vs. Rakić
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R1
Crazy how Jiri's 5th ufc fight is on 300
Kattar vs. Sterling
Aljamain Sterling, DEC
If Kattar flash KOs Sterling, that'd be insane. Also don't like Kattar coming back from a knee injury.
