Predictions: 12 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 745 Points   |   Tied for 103rd

Procházka vs. Rakić
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R2  Confidence: Low
Another coin flip fight. Rakic is probably the more technical fighter and could also mix in his wrestling to slow things down and take a decision here. Jiri can't let that happen. He's gotta get in his face, throw all sorts of awkward, unorthodox ****, make this a war, and put Rakic away. If he fights a slow technical fight that's not going to favor him. Give me Jiri but I have no idea how this one ends.

Kattar vs. Sterling
Aljamain Sterling, DEC  Confidence: Medium
Kattar is a pretty popular underdog pick on tapology, and I get it. He's got great takedown defense and is probably the better striker than Aljo(although the gap isn't as wide as people think). The problem is Aljo doesn't need takedowns to win. That's not who he is. He's going to jump on Kattar's back and backpack him half the fight, wear on him, and be competitive enough with his funky striking to take a clear decision. Aljo is a former champion with multiple defenses and is just a level above a 36 year old Kattar coming off of surgery. He's going to find a way to get this done.

Holm vs. Harrison
Kayla Harrison, DEC  Confidence: Medium
Harrison being almost a -500 favorite is ******* insane. Not only is she making her UFC debut which is always a risky bet, but she's fighting 20lbs lighter than she's used to, so who knows what she's gonna look like. There's a possibility she death gasses from the weight cut trying to grapple Holly and finds herself on the wrong end of a massive upset. On the other hand there is a clear path to victory for her here and that's why she's so big of a favorite. Use that olympic level judo to get this fight to the ground and keep it there the entire fight. I'll take Kayla here, but staying far away from placing any bets on her at those odds.

Yusuff vs. Lopes
Diego Lopes, SUB, R2  Confidence: Low
As close to a coin flip as it gets. If it goes to decision I think it has to favor Yusuff. He's going to have the striking advantage, so I could see him stuffing the takedowns and pointing his way to a victory. Lopes is just so dangerous though. He's got some of the best jiu-jitsu in the UFC so if he can backpack Yusuff or get him to the mat it could be over quickly. I'll take the more dangerous guy here, but I'm a fan of Lopes so may be a little biased.

This might be a hot take but I'm not convinced that Kayla is on PEDs. Of course it's possible, I wouldn't be shocked, but idk why everyone is so certain.
She has looked the same for a long time, even when competing in the Olympics, and she didn't test positive under Olympic rules that I know of. She doesn't have that weirdly deep voice or mannish jaw that a lot of females accused of cheating have (no offense lol). And she visibly lost a ton of muscle to make 135, not just dehydration, although clearly there was some of that too.

Her manager Abdelaziz basically told us she's on steroids, see my earlier post.

I assumed that was just a very VERY poor choice of words. But I haven't seen the original clip of him saying it so maybe I'm missing context.
Either way, what a stupid thing to say about your own client haha.

The UFC is gonna use new gloves in 300 !? Just saw a YT live going on about it but I can't pay attention to that right now.

Can someone say here if the gloves are the Trevor Whitman ones that force you to have a closed fist? Or at least if the new gloves are looking better then the old ones ?

Idk about you all but I'm not rocking with a blue canvas on 300, should've been red so it will kind of resemble 300 as in Sparta

Yeah I said that tongue in cheek of course but indeed what an astonishing choice of words from a manager. If nothing else it says something about the culture he operates within that he didn't think further than to make such a statement. Of course managing as many fighters as Abdelaziz does and seemingly foster as close a contact as he does, even training with them and so on, I can't imagine he hasn't seen some of them use PEDs or signs thereof.

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 615 Points   |   Tied for 1750th

Pereira vs. Hill
Alex Pereira, TKO, R1
With Jamahal Hill gone for so long, I don't think he could possibly beat Poatan, for one it seems like grappling would be the key to victory for Hill but he didn't fight like that, and I don't think he's a good counter striker, Poatan hits different and he's going to put the light out tomorrow night!

Zhang vs. Yan
Weili Zhang, TKO, R2
It's anyone's fight on the feet but Zhang is a much better grappler, so I'm leaning towards her.

Gaethje vs. Holloway
Max Holloway, DEC
A lot of people are overlooking Max, but I think he can put on a boxing clinic over Justin and his chin is made of titanium, I think he's also more technically better than Gaethje from my perspective.

Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan
Charles Oliveira, DEC
I gotta go with Oliveira, I think he's still got a couple of years left in his prime.

Nickal vs. Brundage
Bo Nickal, TKO, R1
When are they going to give Bo a worthy opponent, Jesus Christ.

Procházka vs. Rakić
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R2
Who ever loses this fight will not be the same fighter again, that said - I think Prochazka's got a little more to bring. You can arguably say that his last loss to Poatan was a little premature.

Kattar vs. Sterling
Calvin Kattar, DEC
If Algo can attack Katter with low kicks and mix in the takedowns, I think he can make this fight turn into a one-sided 30-27 x3 match up.

Holm vs. Harrison
Kayla Harrison, DEC
I don't think Harrison will be able to perform as well as she has never fought at bantamweight, she fought most of her carrer as a lightweight.

Yusuff vs. Lopes
Diego Lopes, TKO, R1
Lopes is a whole different animal, he literally almost beat Evloev on just 3 days notice during his UFC debut. This kids going to get a title short stot in no time.

Turner vs. Moicano
Renato Moicano, SUB, R1
Moicano's a dog, I think it's possible that he can pull off a first round sub on Turner.

Andrade vs. Rodriguez
Marina Rodriguez, TKO, R1
I think Rodríguez will KO Andrade based on her height and reach advantage, and the way Andrade fights, she'll be easily to counter strike by Rodríguez has that Muay Thai style.

Green vs. Miller
Jim Miller, DEC
There's no way Jim Miller is losing this one; especially since he won his fights at UFC 100 and 200. I see A-10 putting on a wrestling clinic through 3 rounds.

Figueiredo vs. Garbrandt
Deiveson Figueiredo, TKO, R2
Garbrandt's very aggressive and I see Figueiredo fighting more methodically and see him countering Garbrandt's blitz attacks. Figueiredo by TKO in round 2.
