All these questions suck.

@Nomad thanks for taking the time out of your life to comment on this thread I appreciate it.

I'd appreciate if you took 5 minutes out of your life to think up better questions next time.

ahh that takes to long

*too there you go, just for you.

Too*

Don't worry, I'm just heckling the guy. He's all good with me.

Not enough downvotes guys, still at 112 post score!

1. How Will Patrick Cummmins do against someone less elite?
He will do much better. On the one hand he is facing a decent opponent, on the other hands its a MW.

2. Will Scott Jorgensen's bad luck run out? If not could he be cut?
Scotty wins a decision.

3. How will Sergio Pettis rebound from his first loss?
He will do fine. They are feeding him some canned meat here.

4. Is Erik Perez a future contender?
At only 24 he could be. He has skills and should destroy Caraway.

5. Is Bryan Caraway UFC level?
Nope.

6. Can Rafael Dos Anjos remain in the top 10 and maybe make it to top 5?
RDA has some solid skills and is a top 10 fighter, but I doubt he breaks top 5.

7. Will john Dodson get a title shot if he wins? Is he the only one that has a chance in beating Johnson?
Yes he does. He is not the only one though. Mighty Mouse is really good but so are many other fighters in the division. Bagautinov will give him a good fight.

8. At 37 could this be Yves Edwards last fight?
I hope he has enough money saved up and other options that he can retire soon. I think he just likes to fight so who knows.

9. Will Diego Sanchez ever move back up the rankings?
Move back up? Sure just with his name he can fly up the rankings with a couple wins. Will he ever be a legit threat to any title or make top 5 status? Doubtful.

10. Will we see any suplexes from Rustam Khabilov against Benson Henderson?
I can only hope.

11. Will Ben Henderson get a convincing win?
Nope. Khabilov is way too good and Benson hasn't had a "convincing" win since his WEC days ended.

12. Who will do better in the debut Jake Lindsey or Roger Narvaez?
Jake. He doesn't "look the part" but dude can flat out fight.

13. Possible upsets on the card?
Khabilov and Sanchez. Diego should be outclassed but if he ever remembers that he can wrestler he can win this fight. Striking he will get torn up.

14. Fighter you are most looking forward to watch?
Khabilov. Big fan. On my fantasy team. Very fun to watch.

15. FOTN, POTN?
FOTN Sanchez vs Pearson (if its a stand up fight)
POTN Dodson, Khabilov

1. How Will Patrick Cummmins do against someone less elite?

Considering his opponent is a normal middleweight taking the fight on short notice he should do quite well.

2. Will Scott Jorgensen's bad luck run out? If not could he be cut?

I'm not sure. Martinez is obviously tough but doesn't have any really impressive wins. If Jorgensen loses again it's hard to see him not getting cut.

3. How will Sergio Pettis rebound from his first loss?

He should do well, I don't think Meza is as troubling an opponent as Caceres is. Think he'll win this one handily. 
4. Is Erik Perez a future contender?

Probably, his only recent loss is to Mizugaki who's a contender himself.  

5. Is Bryan Caraway UFC level?

His submissions of Bedford and Gagnon already proved that. I think Perez will beat him though.

6. Can Rafael Dos Anjos remain in the top 10 and maybe make it to top 5?

Dos Anjos swill stay in the top 10 but I doubt he'll make it to the top 5, Khabilov outwrestled him easily enough. Don't see him beating Pettis, Melendez, Thomson, or Henderson either. 

7. Will john Dodson get a title shot if he wins? Is he the only one that has a chance in beating Johnson?

Dodson <i>might</i> need another fight after this to get another title shot. I think he has a better chance of beating Mighty Mouse than anyone else though. 

8. At 37 could this be Yves Edwards last fight?

This will probably be his last UFC fight. If he loses, retirement might be a good idea, he'll probably get cut otherwise. 

9. Will Diego Sanchez ever move back up the rankings?

Doubt it. Sanchez would have lost his last four fights if he hadn't robbed Gomi. The massive amounts of damage he's taken in a lot of fights is catching up to him. 

10. Will we see any suplexes from Rustam Khabilov against Benson Henderson?

He didn't manage any against Masvidal so I doubt it. 

11. Will Ben Henderson get a convincing win?

Henderson seems to be incapable of convincing wins lately, so I don't know. Khabilov is the weakest opponent on paper that he's faced in a while, though. But Khabilov is good enough on the ground that I don't think Henderson can easily control him there and Henderson's striking is rarely convincing. 

12. Who will do better in the debut Jake Lindsey or Roger Narvaez?

Jake Lindsey is in a much better position to look good in his debut and has a good chance of winning his fight. 

13. Possible upsets on the card?

Could see Lindsey beating Tuck. Moraga beating Dodson isn't inconceivable but is unlikely. Khabilov beating Henderson isn't impossible but is also unlikely.

14. Fighter you are most looking forward to watch?

Fighter or fight? I'll be rooting for the Khabilov upset, but fight wise I'm more interested in Sanchez-Pearson and Moraga-Dodson.

15. FOTN, POTN?

Guessing Sanchez-Pearson and Dodson + Sanchez/Pearson winner or the Henderson/Khabilov winner if they get a finish.

1. Probably fairly well if he's as good as people say he is.
2. I think he'll get a win, if he loses he's probably gone.
3. By winning.
4. I think he is.
5. I don't think he'll ever beat any top guy, but yeah, I think so.
6. Yes, don't know about top five though.
7. He should, and he's probably got the best shot at beating MM.
8. I don't know, I just hope he wins. Fan of his regardless.
9. No.
10. I doubt it but you never know.
11. I think it'll be more decisive than a lot of his recent victories, but I don't think he'll flat out dominate or anything like that.
12. I don't know much about either, but I'll say Lindsey.
13. Maybe Khabilov.
14. Yves, Dodson, and the guys in the main event.
15. FOTN: Perez/Caraway, POTN: Dodson

1. Pat Cummings is fighting a smaller guy with bad TD defence and who has not been in the ring since 13/08/2013. Pat Cummings game is too take down a guy and get a Sub opening via G&P or a TKO this fight is a great matchup for him.

2. I like Scott and would hate too see him leave the UFC, but this is a tuff fight and I have a bad feeling about it. I think Danny  wins via decision :( . Just because he is relentless with working for TD.

3. Yaotzin Meza is 20-9-0 and has been in the cage with the likes of Chad Mendes. I wouldn't call him a can, but he doesn't do well VS high lv strikers I think Sergio Pettis  got this via KO or TKO.

4. Not right now the top lv guys at 135 will beat Erik Perez. But in 3-4 years you never know.

5. Yes

6. Well a win in his next fight will make him top 5 but i dont see him beating the top lv guys at LW. but he always going be in the top 10.

7. I hope so and think he gets the title fight. I believe Dodson and Joseph Benavidez can beat Mighty Mouse on a good day.

8. If  Yves Edwards loses this fight it might be.

9. Anyone with good foot work can out point Diego Sanchez, unless Diego Sanchez game evolves i dont think so.

10. No suplex  Benson Henderson is ready too defend them if Rustam tries it.

11. Benson Henderson has not hade a convincing win for sometime now, don't seem him getting one VS Rustam.

12. Good question iam not sure but i pick Jake Lindsey.

13. Scott Jorgenson loses too Danny Martinez - Or Benson loses too Rustam.

14. I like too see what Pat Cummings can bring too the octagon, did not really get too see it in his fight last time.

15. FOTN Ross Pearson VS Diago Sanchez - POTN John Dodson

1. How Will Patrick Cummmins do against someone less elite? He's athletic, confident and has good wrestling, I'd say pretty well, though I'd have to see his first fight against someone who doesn't completely suck balls or is way better than him first.
2. Will Scott Jorgensen's bad luck run out? If not could he be cut? I don't think it was bad luck, he fought guys that we better than him. He should win this fight though. If he doesn't he might just get cut since this is a fight he's "supposed" to win.
3. How will Sergio Pettis rebound from his first loss? Dunno, tough fight, I have him winning, but wouldn't be shocked if he lost again.
4. Is Erik Perez a future contender? No.
5. Is Bryan Caraway UFC level? Yes (weird question considering who he's beat so far and where he's ranked).
6. Can Rafael Dos Anjos remain in the top 10 and maybe make it to top 5? Remain top 10 - Yes; Make top 5 - Maybe for short periods.
7. Will john Dodson get a title shot if he wins? Is he the only one that has a chance in beating Johnson? Pretty sure he will. Don't think he's the only one who can beat DJ but he's definitely the one with the most chance.
8. At 37 could this be Yves Edwards last fight? Haven't seen his contract, most fighters tend to ride them out even if they plan on retiring.
9. Will Diego Sanchez ever move back up the rankings? Up a bit, down a bit, nothing substantial.
10. Will we see any suplexes from Rustam Khabilov against Benson Henderson? YES!
11. Will Ben Henderson get a convincing win? No.
12. Who will do better in the debut Jake Lindsey or Roger Narvaez? Lindsey.
13. Possible upsets on the card? Khabilov, High, Caraway (though I don't think it's an upset), Meza, Lindsey.
14. Fighter you are most looking forward to watch? Khabilov is the only fighter on this card I care about.
15. FOTN, POTN?
FOTN: Pérez/Caraway or Pearson/Sanchez
POTN #1: Dodson
POTN #2: Caraway (I think they have a war with Caraway eventually submitting him)

1. How Will Patrick Cummmins do against someone less elite? 

At a minimum, he can't do any worse than his debut!  I actually think he can win just because of his natural size advantage, (opponent being a natural Middleweight).  

2. Will Scott Jorgensen's bad luck run out? If not could he be cut?

I say yes.  Sure, Martinez is tough, butttttt, I just don't see a long UFC run from him.  Call it a gut feeling.  I think Jorgensen wins this fight and survives for now.

3. How will Sergio Pettis rebound from his first loss?

I think he'll do fine against Meza, who is a much more manageable fight than Bruce Leroy was.

4. Is Erik Perez a future contender?

I'm not so sure he will be.  On the one hand, he's young, so he's got a lot of time.  On top of that, he's already 4-1 in the UFC.  On the other hand, how many of those guys he beat are actually still in the UFC? For that matter, Mizugaki was by far the best guy he's fought, and while it was a split decision, he still lost. I think this fight should tell us a lot about his chances actually.  

5. Is Bryan Caraway UFC level?

Of course he is.  He's 3-1 in the UFC, with a win over Mitch Gagnon, (another good Bantamweight).  Yeah, Caraway is definitely UFC level.  Will he ever contend?  Doubt it, though Perez should be a good measuring stick for him to see just how much potential he really should have.

6. Can Rafael Dos Anjos remain in the top 10 and maybe make it to top 5?

If he can't beat Jason High, then Dos Anjos doesn't deserve to be top 10.  I think he does, so he'll stay top 10.  Top 5 though?  I kinda doubt he's chances in such a competitive division like Lightweight. 

7. Will john Dodson get a title shot if he wins? Is he the only one that has a chance in beating Johnson?

Yes for sure, Flyweight is lacking good contenders right now after Bagautinov and Dodson was very competitive the first time they fought.  No, Bagautinov actually could pull this out, though it's not likely.  

8. At 37 could this be Yves Edwards last fight?

Maybe, especially if he loses, because he'll almost assuredly be cut then.  And as a 17(!) year veteran, he can't possibly have that many fights left can he?

9. Will Diego Sanchez ever move back up the rankings?

No, he's way past his prime and has lost all ability to fight intelligently.  He may just be 32, but his MMA age is WAY older, especially after the way he's fought lately.  He should be closer to thinking retirement than title contending.  

10. Will we see any suplexes from Rustam Khabilov against Benson Henderson?

That'd be pretty sweet to see, but Henderson is freaking huge for a Lightweight, so that may be tough.  Then again, I want to say Khabilov has fought Middleweights and Light Heavyweights before, so if that's true, then maybe he can do it here.

11. Will Ben Henderson get a convincing win?

No, Khabilov is underrated and will make this a very tough fight.  I still think Bendo wins this, but it'll be yet another close decision.

12. Who will do better in the debut Jake Lindsey or Roger Narvaez?

Lindsey.  One because he's fighting in his correct weight class.  And two, I think his fight is more winnable than Narvaez's. 

13. Possible upsets on the card?

Khabilov, Caraway (?), Lindsey

14. Fighter you are most looking forward to watch?

Khabilov

15. FOTN, POTN?

Pearson vs. Sanchez, Pearson, Sanchez, Dodson, Pettis

1. How Will Patrick Cummmins do against someone less elite? I got Narvaez in this fight so not well.

2. Will Scott Jorgensen's bad luck run out? If not could he be cut? I don't know, but I think Martinez can win.

3. How will Sergio Pettis rebound from his first loss? Should take the fight

4. Is Erik Perez a future contender? He definitely looks like it, needs a little fine tuning & less brawling

5. Is Bryan Caraway UFC level? I think he has proved that he is already

6. Can Rafael Dos Anjos remain in the top 10 and maybe make it to top 5? Yes

7. Will john Dodson get a title shot if he wins? Is he the only one that has a chance in beating Johnson? I gotta assume so, there aren't many guys ready for a shot at 125 yet.

8. At 37 could this be Yves Edwards last fight? I don't know about last, but if he loses and Hallman is a very tough opponent he may think about retiring.

9. Will Diego Sanchez ever move back up the rankings? Unfortunately, I don't think so at this point unless he goes back to the Diego Sanchez that had wrestling, striking and BJJ. He just gets in there and takes a hell of beating while looking really angry about it.

10. Will we see any suplexes from Rustam Khabilov against Benson Henderson? It's possible, but I don't think so. Henderson should take this fight but I still haven't made my pick.

11. Will Ben Henderson get a convincing win? I don't think he'll finish Khabilov

12. Who will do better in the debut Jake Lindsey or Roger Narvaez? Narvaez
13. Possible upsets on the card?
14. Fighter you are most looking forward to watch? Perez & Tuck
15. FOTN, POTN?

Navarezz's record for his opponents together matchs up to 25-34.  Cummins's is 24-17. I have cummins.
Jorgensen should beat Martinez.
With a knockout, Meza's striking is horrible slow and flat out sucks and his wrestling isn't good enough to take down Pettis.
Yeah, he is.
That's a stupid question, of course he is.
He can and will, I'd like to see him and TJ Grant fight for TJ's return fight.
Yes, and no.  Guys like Dodson, Horiguchi, Scoogins, Bagautinov, and Makovsky can all give Mighty Mouse a tough fight.
Hopefully not, i'm a big fan of Edwards.
No.
Yes, many of them.
No, Benson is not going to finish the fight period. The last time he finished someone was 4 years 1 month and 21 days.
Lindsey,
Benoist,
Dodson, Khabilov.

1) my guess will be wrestling heavy win due to submission or tko
2)I hope it's over. Formiga "loss" was BS
3) thinking sergio gets the tko but wish he would go back to 125
4) no
5) absolutely dafuq type of ? is that he should be 5-0 in the ufc and I think he submits perez
6) top 10 doubt top 5
7)probably gets the shot but I doubt anyone can beat johnson
8) not his last fight but could be his last ufc fight
9) no too quick to get into a brawl
10) I hope so
11) doubt it grappling is his strength and that is also Khabilov's strength so we may see another questionable decision involving bendo
12) both could lose but I would bet on lindsey having the better debut
13) Khabilov, High, and Caraway
14) Diego vs Pearson
15) FOTN- Diego vs Pearson
POTN- Dodson POTN Caraway

1. How Will Patrick Cummmins do against someone less elite?
Much better still not confident in him tho

2. Will Scott Jorgensen's bad luck run out? If not could he be cut?
I sure hope. I hate picking against Jorgensen but here lately I hate picking him but if he don't win this he needs cut

3. How will Sergio Pettis rebound from his first loss?
with a TKO he is so young so he has forever to get as good as he needs to be.

4. Is Erik Perez a future contender?
yea, future top 5.

5. Is Bryan Caraway UFC level?
He reminds me of a Danny Castillo good enough to be in the UFC? yea, but not anyone to watch out for.

6. Can Rafael Dos Anjos remain in the top 10 and maybe make it to top 5?
If you can beat Donald Cerrone you can forsure be in the top 5 but the LW division is stacked so we will find out.

7. Will john Dodson get a title shot if he wins? Is he the only one that has a chance in beating Johnson?
the division is so weak he for sure should get the next shot if he wins. I think he has the best chance I also think Kyoji Horiguchi

8. At 37 could this be Yves Edwards last fight?
I say it will be whether it is or not im always a fan. 

9. Will Diego Sanchez ever move back up the rankings?
Sanchez is one of my favorite fighters but I think him being a title contender is over but I do think he beats Ross tho.

10. Will we see any suplexes from Rustam Khabilov against Benson Henderson?
Hopefully we see a slam KO!

11. Will Ben Henderson get a convincing win?
Can't have a convincing win when your gonna lose 

12. Who will do better in the debut Jake Lindsey or Roger Narvaez?
Lindsey

13. Possible upsets on the card?
Moraga and Rustam

14. Fighter you are most looking forward to watch?
Pettis, Edwards, and Sanchez

15. FOTN, POTN?
FOTN- Sanchez/Pearson 
POTN- Dodson
POTN- Pettis

1. How Will Patrick Cummmins do against someone less elite?
He's not a bum. He just had no chance fighting DC on a week's notice. I think he beats Narvaez.
2. Will Scott Jorgensen's bad luck run out? If not could he be cut?
Yes. Finally. He faced a string of top 10 fighters. Which says he's not a top 10 fighter. At least now. He should get the win here, but if he loses against a no name in Martinez, bye bye Scottie.
3. How will Sergio Pettis rebound from his first loss?
I think pretty well. He's still young and should know that 1 loss is not the end of the world. He has a solid group of fighters to train with who will walk him through the process. Keep in mind, he did beat Campuzano who is no slouch.
4. Is Erik Perez a future contender?
Maybe. I'm reluctant to say yes because he has yet to beat anyone of note. I picked him to beat Caraway, but that fight can go either way. 
5. Is Bryan Caraway UFC level?
A UFC-level *******. **** that guy. But he'll stick around for a few more fights even if he loses.
6. Can Rafael Dos Anjos remain in the top 10 and maybe make it to top 5?
155 is full of killers. So no. There's not enough room at the top. TBH, I'm surprised he got that far in the murderer's row that is the lightweight division. 
7. Will john Dodson get a title shot if he wins? Is he the only one that has a chance in beating Johnson?
Yes, he will and should get a title shot. No, he is not the only chance at beating DJ. Sometimes the matchup that seems the least daunting ends up as the one that dethrones the champ (See TJ Dillashaw)
8. At 37 could this be Yves Edwards last fight?
I love watching him fight, but he's done. 
9. Will Diego Sanchez ever move back up the rankings?
No. Heart can only take you so far.
10. Will we see any suplexes from Rustam Khabilov against Benson Henderson?
There damn well better be. Pretty much the whole reason I wanna see this fight.
11. Will Ben Henderson get a convincing win?
Ben Henderson and convincing win should only be in the same sentence if "just kidding" follows it.
12. Who will do better in the debut Jake Lindsey or Roger Narvaez?
Lindsey has the better shot at winning his fight. So Lindsey
13. Possible upsets on the card?
Khabilov. Sanchez (Pearson is the betting favorite), Moraga possibly.
14. Fighter you are most looking forward to watch?
Moraga. I love watching him fight. Khabilov to see if he can beat Bendo. 
15. FOTN, POTN?
FOTN: Dodson vs Moraga
POTN: Pettis & RDA. (The latter is due for a SUB)
