Not quite "best card ever" material, but solid nonetheless.
Good luck!

Also, Fireball Kid walking out in swim hat and goggles (on the hat, not face), Beefcake walks out with bright blue speedos and both Fili and Holloway looked hydrated, relaxed and in good spirits, meaning my FOTN prediction just got validated. SO pumped for that fight.

I'm really rooting for Gomi to spank IVF, but he's had a pretty long layoff.

Btw, I think I might need to shorten that shortlist though because I'm starting to miss a lot of picks on account of my favs getting older :)

I'm also going with the one I know over the one who I only watched a few fights on youtube without any real knowledge as to how good his opponents were (other than their records, which can sometimes mean jack ****). Beal has much faster hands and one punch KO power, so I'm gambling on him for this one.

imo 6/10 of these fights have accurate picking %s. Beal shouldn't be that big of a favorite. I think it's due to familiarity. Brenneman & Flagg wouldn't surprise me too much. The one that confounds me is how Holloway/Fili is 50/50. I think Holloway should be the clear favorite over Fili whose sole UFC appearance was a win over Jeremy Larsen while Holloway lost to Poirier & McGregor and basically drew with Bermudez.

If I ever needed more evidence that I pick who I WANT to win and that I don't give a **** about my pick percentage.. this is it.

If Glover can't do it by the 3rd... he declines drastically for a Jones T/KO or decision.

Rooting for Gomi, and don't really care who wins besides that.
