I can see Rockhold winning this fight. His skill set is pretty broad.

Also matters that the fight's in Brazil where Vitor will be all Ted up. Interesting that they're matching C.B. up with Mutante right after facing Sarafian.  Losers of bottom 4 fights and maybe Cholish all get cut I predict.

Just bleed, middleweight over featherweight...

Lentz vs Dias is by far the better fight or maybe they wanted a headliner for the Fuel card.

So I'm in a survivor pool for some UFC topps cards and was wondering what people think is the best chance for a lock on this card? It doesn't have to be from the main card but I can only use an undercard fighter once during the competition.

Right now I'm leaning towards picking Souza but we got some wise people on Tapology so wanted to see what you guys thought.

@poir420 Jacaré's the only safe pick on here.

I would also say Formiga, Lineker and Yuri, but I haven't seen too much of their opponents,

Lock of the night? Fabio Maldonado.

 

Hollet is a serious threat .. unless the fight passes 40 seconds.

Is Maldanado ever a lock? I think he will win but he is 1-3 in the UFC with his only win coming over James Mcsweeny. Despite looking good in his losses and being very tough I don't think I would ever call him a lock.
