Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 590 Points | Tied for 133rd
Which ones are you juiced up for the most?
I've ordered the bouts in the order of how ******* pumped I am for them, anyone else wanna play?
1. McGregor vs. Poirier - SO. *******. PUMPED!!!
2. Cruz vs. Mizugaki - HUGE Cruz fan. I want the Dom of old back!!
3. Alvarez vs. Cerrone - Yup.
4. DJ vs. Cariaso - Still a title fight and I love DJ.
5. Kennedy vs. Romero - Love me some Romero (AKA the coolest cat in MMA), but think he's gonna lose.
6. Masvidal vs. Krause - This will be an awesome scrap, can see how each one of them could take the fight.
7. Zingano vs. Nunes - Absolute WAR!
8. Thompson vs. Côté - Hopefully Thompson can show off some of his stuff.
9. Kevin Lee vs. Jon Tuck - Nice filler.
10. Gamburyan vs. Gibson - Would be more excited if I didn't think Manny will control from the top and that's all.
11. Howard vs. Ebersole - Not a fan of either but very good fight between two vets of the game,

McGregor/Poirier - think McGregor will be able to light Poirier up
Cruz/Mizu - Cruz is still undefeated at BW and only lost his belt via injuries, Mizu has been on a good run and winner could possibly get the next title shot
Masvidal/Krause - Masvidal is always the dark horse in the division and fun to watch
Tuck/Lee - Lee is a good prospect and I just really like Tuck, hopefully Tuck can avoid a mid fight injury
Johnson/Cariaso - even though MM just might be my favorite of the UFC champs, this is a complete squash match
Romero/Kennedy - just hoping to see Kennedy starched
Zingano/Nunes - just not excited for WBW in general, winner probably goes on to get rekt by Ronda next
Thompson/Cote
Howard/Ebersole
Gamburyan/Gibson

Romero/Kennedy - Title talk for Yoel will commence
Cowboy/Eddie - definition of a can't miss fight
Jorge/Krause &
Lee/Tuck because of competitiveness
Cruz/Mizugaki &
Cat/Nunes for the comeback stories
Thompson/Cote before the other 3 because of the possibilities
Howard/Ebersole slightly over Gibson/Manny only because I don't think Manny has the quickness needed at BW.
Johnson/Cariaso last because this fight shouldn't have been made and it's not fair to Demetrious because he is truly one of the greats but I just can't get excited for this almost certain beatdown.

Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 445 Points | Tied for 907th
Cowboy-Alvarez, it's Cowboy's time
Cruz-Mizugaki, if Cruz starched mixugaki he needs a title shot
Cat-Nunes. Wanna see if it looks like Cat is ready for Ronda
Masvidal-Krause, who doesnt like watching these guys fight
Kennedy-Romero, kennedy needs this win to prove he is a top 10er

1t. Johnson/Cariaso
1t.Zingano/Nunes
1t.Howard/Ebersole
**** all these fights are good! I can't make up my mind but I'm very excited due each one for a specific reason. Romero being a dominant wrestler with amazing takedowns and striking. Kennedy being an exceptional grappler. Cruz and his masterful frignts. McGregor bringing his abrasive personality and seeing if the hype train still goes strong which I'm on. Zingano is violent as ****. Same thing applies for some Cerrone and Alvarez along with awesome technique.
