Just realized i forgot to switch a couple picks in here but no biggies, I went Ramos by Decision, Duffy by Decision, OSP R2 Tko and Joanna by Decision. No excuses i made the switches on the other 2 sites i play but forgot to check this sites for my updated picks. Everything else is the Dane though.

Zahabi is landing the more effective strikes but Ramos is busier. They are keeping these rounds a little too close to complain about a decision.

Zahabi was stiff. That was quite an impressive elbow.

Picked Oliynyk, rooting for Blaydes. The division needs the young blood.

I think Blaydes is too big, strong and athletic for Alexei to dedicate this fight. Blaydes should score the Ko at some point.
