The percentages in tapology are exaggerated, Tyler Diamond Enrique Barzola, Laureano are underestimated I think 2 out of 3 will win, Tyler beats Rodrigues, Barzola was always 145 pounds in the UFC, I don't think he will have problems taking down Boric and I hope he Argentine Laureano won his fight and improved a lot upon leaving the UFC

Khizriev vs. Johns
Timur Khizriev, tko 2 round
remember Timur, the future champ. Brett was wrestled by a guy with an 11-8 record, so he was also swip in the 3rd round. Brett is on the decline

Koreshkov vs. Umalatov
Magomed Umalatov, DEC
Tough call here. I have a rule I've been using lately: Go with the guy with a "V" in their last name. But both these guys have it. Measurables are basically identical, time windoe for last 5 fights is the same, finish rate iover those 5 fights is the same... So how to choose? It came down to the name "Magomed," that name seems to kick a lot of ass in the world of MMA, so he gets my vote of confidence here. By decision, since his recent finish rate hasn't been outstanding.
Loughnane vs. Carvalho
Brendan Loughnane, DEC
Could be a KO/TKO, but I smell a decision here.
Storley vs. Musaev
Logan Storley, DEC
Usually I'd go with the "V", but Musaev's activity and competiton level over the last 5 fights doesn't exactly impress. Decent chance he can KO/TKO Storley, but if not, Storley likely takes the decision.
Braga vs. Gonzales
Gabriel Alves Braga, TKO, R2
Braga should win, and my gut says by decision, but I've picked a lot of decisions on this card so there has to be a KO/TKO somewhere.
Yamauchi vs. Gracie II
Goiti Yamauchi, TKO, R3
Goiti repeats the result from last time, but in the 3rd round this time.
Jenkins vs. Kamaka III
Kai Kamaka III, DEC
Gonna go against the grain here and say the Hawaiian takes the decision.

Jenkins vs. Kamaka III
Bubba Jenkins, DEC
I'm really not high on Jenkins, the PFL featherweight division has a couple good talents but isn't stacked. His best win is probably Chris Wade, which isn't bad but Wade didn't look great this last season. I really want to take the upset in Kai, and I might change it to that... but since Kai has lost to every opponent who can wrestle, I still feel like Bubba can get it done.
Borics vs. Barzola
Ádám Borics, DEC
This is a really tough one. Borics is a featherweight that I rank highly, coming off a long layoff and surgery. Barzola is a bantamweight I rank highly, now fighting at featherweight. It's probably smart of Barzola to fight in the tournament now that he's a far cry from a Bellator title shot, but I still think his best is at BW. I'll go with Borics the natural featherweight, assuming he looks as good as he did before the break. But stylistically, I won't be shocked or disappointed if Barzola grinds a decision using his wrestling.

Staropoli vs. Ramazanov
Murad Ramazanov, DEC
Starapoli definitely seems better at welterweight, neither of his ufc WW losses were bad. I haven't seen much on Ramazanov but he looks just too scary lol.

Loughnane vs. Carvalho
Brendan Loughnane, DEC
I DO NOT TRUST BRENDAN LOUGHNANE. Even against a can like Carvalho who recently gave an interview on how he is looking forward to winning the million dollars. Hillarious stuff all round.
Storley vs. Musaev
Logan Storley, DEC
A lot of people saying Musaev is a wrestler just coz he has a Russian name. Guys stop watching MMA and go back to being a nerd in the library. This is a close fight.
Braga vs. Gonzales
Justin Gonzales, DEC
Too much going on for Braga who also has no takedown defense
Yamauchi vs. Gracie II
Goiti Yamauchi, TKO, R3
Lock of the card
Jenkins vs. Kamaka III
Kai Kamaka III, DEC
I DO NOT TRUST BUBBA JENKINS TO GET ME MY FRIES. Let alone win a fight against tough opposition
Borics vs. Barzola
Ádám Borics, DEC
Close. Damage over control. Problem being Borics has the IQ of a mosquito
Khizriev vs. Johns
Timur Khizriev, DEC
Johns looked horrible against wrestling recently. Dude left UFC on a win streak because he wanted money and went to BELLATOR. 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 This dude has the same IQ as my shoe size
Staropoli vs. Ramazanov

Madge vs. Ward
Brennan Ward, TKO, R1
Chinny over rated Madge coming off a massive layoff against a power puncher? Worth a shot
Diamond vs. Rodrigues
Tyler Diamond, DEC
I saw some analyst say Tyler Diamond was a striker. Tapology Capping at its best 😆
Debienne vs. Jean
Thad Jean, TKO, R2
Someone is getting KTFO

Skillwise: this card have the best of PFL can offer about fighter's calibre.
Featherweights, Lightweights, Welterweights and also Impa, Yags and Shoeface are the most interesting in PFL Season (along with the hype that Ditcheva will win this season, but removing Taila Santos, Carmouche and Ditcheva the rest of Women's Flyweights are subpar. Although Bishop has really good BJJ level despite being 38 years old).
