Prediction: correct Covington   wrong Decision  

He's been running through everyone will be cool to finally see if this guy is legit!

Prediction: correct Covington   wrong Decision  

Covington is a tough out for most anyone, let along on short notice. I'm thinking his wrestling gets him through again.

Prediction: correct Covington   correct Submission   wrong Round 2  

Meunier finished 16 of his last 17 fights, that's very impressive.
He had a tough fight less than 1 month ago, he was dropped in the first round but secured a takedown shortly after and managed to win by RNC.

I'm rooting for him, but I'm worried this short notice fight will be tough.

Prediction: correct Covington   wrong Decision  

It's the short notice, the fact that Meunier has never faced a great wrestler, that Colby will have a much lower center of gravity which usually leads to takedowns coming easier for the wrestler and the fact that Colby has show us if need be he will stick to a man, push him up against the cage and constantly look for takedowns until he gets them. 

Meunier is a good signing though and Colby is nothing special, but I'm being conservative with this one. 

"If I have a goal, then it is to escape from this literalism. I'll never achieve it; in the same way that I'll never manage to describe what really dwells within my character, although I keep on trying."
