Jay Jay Wilson, DEC
Seem both these guys fight a bunch of times but can’t seem to remember most of their fights. I’ll go with Jay Jay here because he’s shown a lot of
Nunes vs. Lemos
Marcelo Nunes, SUB, R2
No idea how to feel about nunes. He comes from a high level grappling background, but then had that godawful showing against Mo Greene. Idk how you are a grappler but struggle to takedown Mo Greene, who can’t wrestle if his life depended on it. It could’ve been the size, but watching him fail to wrestle and gas out was so pathetic. Lemos is ex ufc but popped for roids. He seems like a can crusher so I’ll take nunes. Scenes when nunes death gasses again

Rob Wilkinson, TKO, R2
Wilkinson looked like a god the last two pfl seasons, but we now know it’s because he was juicing. I’m sure his striking and wrestling is still great (it looked very improved), but idk if he can keep the pace he used to. The pace he set against santos and Omari was scary, he looked unstoppable. Hes still a really good fighter but breese is a tough out. Breese is a high level grappler and can hold his own standing (although I heavily favor Wilkinson). Breese biggest issue is himself, he has to pull out of a bunch of ufc fights because of anxeity. But, he’s done a lot bet te r recently. He can def win this but I wanna see the scales first
Kasanganay vs. Polizzi
Alex Polizzi, DEC
This is gonna be a hot take but I think this is a tough one for impa. I know he did really well against eblen, who is much better than Polizzi but, they have very different styles. For one, Polizzi is an actual lhw and eblen is a mw. Impa did really well against eblen for a few reasons. For one, as good as eblen is, I wouldn’t necessarily say he excels in any area. Not to talk negatively on him, but I think he’s just a jack of all trades with really good cardio and an ability to pressure. Impa lost the fight but was able to have success as the better striker and athlete. While Polizzi lacks the cardio and well roundedness of eblen, he is an absolute dog. All he wants to do is chain wrestle repeatedly until the fight is over. I think impa can hurt him on the feet but the issue with polizz is he is a zombie. You can have him pretty much out on his feet and he’s still gonna be walking forward and shooting. I think Polizzi is a better wrestler than eblen, and also a much harder style. Eblen doesn’t care if he gets you down because he can either outpace you or use his hands to set up the td. Polizzi takes better shots, is stronger, and honestly a better chain wrestler imo. Impa is the deserved favorite but I think he’s gonna struggle with the size difference here. Polizzi isn’t huge for 205, but he is a real 205er who walks around like 220+ where eblen was around the same size as impa. Impa could def win but his tdd against the bigger lhws has always concerned me
Collard vs. Pitbull
Clay Collard, TKO, R2
Alright now this is a war. I don’t like the quick turnaround for collars, but ag the same time he took 0 damage and just got ran through so it’s not that big of a deal. I’ve been harsh on the worse pitbull but he is solid (albeit not nearly as good as his bro). He won’t grapple collard so we should get a really fun striking match here.pitbull can def win since collard is low iq and hittable, but I think the youth and boxing technique gets it done for Clay here
Burnell vs. Dufort
Mads Burnell, DEC
Burnell at 155 is interesting, he has had cardio issues in the past (not very bad tho) so maybe this is a good move. I really like the Dufort signing, he’s a really solid prospect and has been killing it recently. I think he drew a bit of a short straw here but he will do well. Mads is good enough to avoid the takedown and probably even outgrappled Dufort, and then his boxing is much better. That carvalho fight was such a bad look but given his other performances I think it’s safe to say that was a one off performance
Sy vs. Silveira
Josh Silveira, DEC
This is another really tricky one. Sy to 205 is an awful idea imo. Hes still huge and still a really good striker but his entire style is predicated on having a size advantage. He’s still got the bigger frame so he can keep guys at bay but he’s not going to be able to gain peoples respect as easily since they hit harder the biggest thing for me is his tdd. Sy is lanky and has decent tdd but he enjoys having that weight advantage so he’s harder to takedown. At 205, he’s gonna be pretty small so I think he’s gonna get ragdolled. It is interesting tho because josh silviera is 1. Not good and 2. Should really be at 185, so we may just see sy dominate. Silviera isn’t great anywhere but has solid skills in each area. His biggest pitfall is that he has bad athelticsm and shut cardio. I feel like he should win this with grappling, but could 100% see a sy masterclass where Silviera is just lost out there
Júnior vs. Biyong
Antônio Carlos Júnior, DEC
Okay this is a really strange one. Anyone who’s seen biyongs fights knows this dude is atrocious. He is a hulking human being but cannot fight at all, he is 100% physical gifts and no sort of fighting skill. He’s honestly not bad anywhere but he just has no fight iq and always makes the wrong decision. I think ACJ is better everywhere besides standing, but I could lowkey see him struggling with the size difference here; I still think ACJ is kind of undersized and biyong is as big as it gets for the weight class. Then again, his grappling iq is 0 so ACJ should find a sub. His long layoff and the fact he’s a star in Brazil now kind of have me doubting acjs dedication. He has a ton of money now and recently sexually assaulted someone on live tv so not really sure mma is his number 1 priority. He should win but this is the definition of a stay away fight. He could (and should) make this look very easy but you never know
Yagshimuradov vs. Nedoh
Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov, TKO, R3
This is a really interesting fight. Nedoh looked amazing on pfl Europe. He is super explosive and just ran through everyone with ease. Yagshimuradov isn’t amazing but he had a rough start to his Bellator career. Now that he has settled he’s looked a lot better. I doubt he can stand with Nedoh early so he’s probably going to come in grappling heavy. I think that’s gonna wear on Nedoh and he gets finished in the later rounds
Miranda vs. Primus
Brent Primus, SUB, R2
Tough matchmaking for Miranda. He is a striker and keeps drawing grapplers. I think Primus is kind of **** but he is a really good grappler and we’ve seen Miranda lose to that style before. Primus is older so maybe he gets chinned, but he shouldn’t have many issues getting this to the ground
Rabadanov vs. Renfro
Gadzhi Rabadanov, DEC
Gadzhi should win but this is a tricky one since 1. He fights to the level of his comp and 2. Renfro is decent at 155. His skills aren’t amazing but he is a spark plug and very explosive at this weight class. Gadzhi is weird because he looks well rounded everywhere but constantly makes fights closer than they need to be. He is hittable at times, not as dominant of a wrestler despite training with team Khabib, and his cardio is kinda ****. Won’t pick renfro but the tap % is off here

Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 540 Points | Tied for 266th
Impa -575 vs Polizzi +425
94% going with the heavy fave Impa
Wilkinson -185 vs Breese +154
88% going with the fave again
Collard be Pitbull - no odds on draft kings yet?
Burnell -198 vs Dufort +164
86% with burnell
Sy -155 vs Silveira +130
70% with the former welterweight. I guess Josh isn’t a big light heavyweight either.
Yagshimuradov +100 vs Nedoh -120
74% with Nedoh. Closest odds from all the fights so maybe some good money for Nedoh at those odds then?
Shoeface -238 vs Biyong +195
95% for Shoeface. Most backed fight of the card.
Miranda +110 vs Primus -130
79% for Primus.
Rabadanov -205 vs Renfro +170
94% for Rabadanov.
Wilson -162 vs Piccolotti +136
91% for Wilson.
Espinoza -245 vs Romero +200
81% for Espinoza.
So basically no underdog is being backed by the majority here. Which is a shame since there won’t be many good odds to get on. Unless you go for a bunch of faves and chuck it in a parlay, or wait for type of victory odds.

Impa Kasanganay, DEC
It's tempting to pick the upset, just because I think stylistically this will be much closer than people think. Polizzi is well rounded and will not stop coming forward. But Impa has been on a roll and had a good performance against Eblen, and he shouldn't be that much smaller than Polizzi. I doubt if he can finish Polizzi but I think he hurst him and stuffs takedowns to win a decision.
Wilkinson vs. Breese
Rob Wilkinson, TKO, R2
I'm assuming that not all of Wilkinson's success was due to PEDs. Hopefully that assumption doesn't make me look dumb.
Collard vs. Pitbull
Patricky Pitbull, DEC
This is a banger of a matchup! I might change my pick, I keep going back and forth. Pitbull has the power advantage and is probably more well rounded, but if he obliges in a boxing match Collard is really slick. I'll go with Pitbull for now, but really I'm just excited to watch this one.
Sy vs. Silveira
Josh Silveira, DEC
Sy could stay at distance and pick Silveira apart, but now that he's up two weight classes I expect him to have more difficulty with wrestlers than at WW.
Yagshimuradov vs. Nedoh
Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov, DEC
I haven't actually seen Nedoh's fights, but Yags has way more experience and is on a good win streak from Bellator.
Júnior vs. Biyong
Antônio Carlos Júnior, SUB, R1
Big step up for Biyong, he is huge and athletic but I think this will be very one-sided.
