Edwards vs. Covington
Leon Edwards, DEC
I know there are stacks of editorials saying that ring rust is not a thing, but two years out of the cage can't be good.
Rakhmonov vs. Thompson
Shavkat Rakhmonov, SUB, R3
But if you're going to place a hedge bet, this is the time to do it.
Ferguson vs. Pimblett
Paddy Pimblett, SUB, R3
This hurts. Hope I'm wrong.

Thanks for the answers.
One fighter that I am super confident is gonna win is Pantoja, i didn't even know this before today but in his last fight against Royval he had a knee injure and fought anyway. After the fight he had surgery and could not fight for a long time.
If he finished Royval in round 2 while not 100% there is no way that he will lose now after improving and becoming a champion. There is some truth to the fact becoming a champion instantly makes you better.

Last two fights, I let myself fall into that trap of leaning toward fighters I WANTED to win. I can feel myself doing that with El Cucuy and Wonderboy. After so many years of appreciating their skill, it's just tough to see them lose.
Not saying they will lose, but time snatches the W from everybody eventually.
