Hernandez to continue cutting, Calvillo v Rodriguez is off. Btw, Hernandez looked absolutely shredded, not sure where the **** he's gonna find another 4 lbs or even close to it unless he starts boiling some of his innards.

Calvillo missing weight while being on a 5 fight loss streak is no bueno. She might get cut even if she wins this now

Allen was KO’ed their first meeting but has been on a submission streak since then. Look for him to come back confident and get the win.

Hernandez could jog in place inside a sauna wearing a trash bag, shave his head, and weigh in with the curtain and he's still probably not losing 4lbs in an hour. He's wasting his time and unnecessarily depleting himself if he's actually trying to do that.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 475 Points   |   Tied for 1321st

Charriere vs. Mariscal
Chepe Mariscal, DEC
Very close fight honestly. I just think it depends on how Morgan shows up. He’s got a lot of talent but I’ve noticed a lack of urgency in his fights sometimes. Obviously last timeout he just murked the dude easy but Chepe isn’t some guy who’s gonna lie down like Morgan’s last opponent. He’s tough, gritty and has an awesome gas tank. I think Morgan is more talented and that might be the key here, but past that I think I’ll take Chepe for the close decision win

Bahamondes vs. Giagos
Ignacio Bahamondes, SUB, R2
Pretty cut and dry here for me. Ignacio is very talented but I have overrated him in the past. He’s a slick kickboxer but his flaws are obvious. He doesn’t have good head movement and he can be taken down pretty easy against a good wrestler. I don’t think Giagos is gonna send him on a 2 fight L streak tho. Giagos is good for about a round before he ****s himself. Literally everywhere. His cardio depletes dramatically, his defense gets worse and subsequently his chin, everything is a mess for him. So I could definitely see him winning round 1 then getting absolutely bent over in rounds 2&3 if he makes it that far. Ignacios gotta fix that head movement soon tho

Brzeski vs. Walker
Valter Walker, DEC
Goin decision here because I don’t have much belief in Walker. His record seems sus and admittedly I didn’t watch him fight, but something seems off. Brzeski is not good so if Valter loses this one he’s not making it far in the ufc

Peek vs. Campbell
Charlie Campbell, TKO, R2
Love me some Trevor Peek. He’s not a skilled guy but when he goes crazy he’s awesome. Campbell is kinda similar. He just ****** wings it, ultra aggressive and pretty technical too. However his chin is not good so if Peek lands the skill gap will not matter. I.E. the Chris Duncan fight on DWCS. Very excited for this ones

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 440 Points   |   Tied for 1969th

Allen vs. Curtis II
Chris Curtis, TKO, R4
I think a lot of people are counting out Chris Curtis because of some of his last outing; obviously Brendan Allen is on a 6-fight win streak, but yeah - I'm leaning towards Curtis for this one because he hasn't been out grappled so far in his UFC career and I think he can get his hands on Allen.

Hernandez vs. Jackson
Damon Jackson, SUB, R2
Jackson by submission - Hernandez' only way of winning is if he can avoid the ground and keep the fight standing.

Charriere vs. Mariscal
Morgan Charriere, TKO, R3
Morgan Charriere has so much potential, and he's got his 30th fight and he's only 28.

Bahamondes vs. Giagos
Ignacio Bahamondes, DEC
I think Bahamondes has a much diverse striking game.

Brzeski vs. Walker
Valter Walker, TKO, R1
It's clear that the UFC want to make Johnny Walker's brother a star - so they give him a guy who hasn't won in the UFC.

Peek vs. Campbell
Trevor Peek, TKO, R2
Peek is reckless but I think he'll get a TKO.

McGee vs. Morono
Alex Morono, DEC
McGee's time is done; the only thing he has is a chin, tough enough to go the distance.

Dumont vs. de Randamie
Norma Dumont, DEC
De Randamie has been out for awhile - I think Dumont has this.

Falcão vs. Hugo
Victor Hugo, DEC
Victor has a much better record and Pedro is taking it on short notice.

Calvillo vs. Rodriguez
Piera Rodriguez, DEC
I thought Calvillo would get cut lol.

Matsumoto vs. Argueta
Jean Matsumoto, DEC
Another young undefeated fighter on the raise.

Budka vs. Almeida
César Almeida, TKO, R1
Almeida's in his mid-30's but he's got great KO power and he ain't slowing down..

Mullins vs. Cornolle
Melissa Tonya Mullins, DEC
Melissa is gonna be the next rising star from the UK.

Yeah he wont cut 4 lbs, he's probably hoping to cut like 1-2 lbs more and have his fight not be cancelled. They probably told him it would be cancelled unless he could get lower.

Very smart no reason Jackson had to cut that much and Alex staggers in pretty much a LW.

Might not be Jackson, could be the commission. They generally don't like when fighters are 4-5 lbs over. But if Jackson can afford not to fight he'd be in a position of strength to make such a demand and it would be smart of him in that case. It will cost him money though if the fight doesn't happen. I don't think fighters get their full fight purse if a fight is cancelled unless Dana takes pity and he definitely wont get a chance at the win money if it is cancelled.

I assume jackson/hernandez is still on? Jackson looked drained af and hernandez looked fine like he couldn't be bothered to cut the other 4 lbs. 

I think under these circumstances hernandez is a good parlay piece. With how chinny Jackson can be from power punchers. And it's a good live bet hedge opportunity on Jackson. Highly doubt Jackson finishes hernandez in the first round (can very much see the opposite) or even wins the round and you can get like +450 on Jackson.
