Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 505 Points   |   Tied for 174th

The fighters are weighed in (2 bad misses by Munhoz and Prezerez) and we're set for Saturday night. 

Some quality match-ups here, even if it continues the 2018 trend of weird/underwhelming main events. 


(Update: Dodson hasn't accepted the fight with Munhoz. Co-main is off.)

@Detroit Superstar I picked Shev-dec-3 also and kind of regretting it.I never switched my picks just left on my safety picks.Priscila isn't that good but more importantly stylistically I think Shev gets a finish.Priscila just comes forward non stop and is reckless just winging punches,that'll set up imo easy level changes for Shev and counter shots.Short version is I think Priscila's aggressiveness will end up being her downfall for many reasons including cardio.I'm leaning sub-2 or sub-3,maybe tko.Just a hard one to say as far as tko/sub/dec.

Pretty sure Schev is gonna lace her with some nasty check hooks....It might not happen early but my guess is a tko or sub within two.

One judge got it right at least. Really rounds two and three should have been scored 10-8's, quite clearly.

Patrick is smoking crack if he thinks he is getting 50k for that performance.

He's not exciting but he does go to work. I think what;s frustrating about him is that he can be exciting but always opt for the safe dryhump UD route.

first boring fight of the night, but it went as expected. Patrick told everyone that this would be his gameplan, shame on Hadzovic for not being able to deal with the grind. 

@Kuma Patrick used to live on the streets and shine shoes for a living so... I guess he gets a pass for that, lol.

Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 380 Points   |   Tied for 796th



Here's the update on this fight from Green himself:

As everyone knows my opponent missed weight by 5lbs, this was his 4th time in 7 fights missing weight, so I gave a stipulation that he could not be over 173 today, I just found out he is 180 currently, I am still taking this fight because I am a company man @danawhite @seanshelby @mickmaynard2 @ufc also I didn’t come all the way to Brazil to not perform, with that being said #watchmework Savages do what Savages do

If you are walking into the cage at 180 you should not be fighting at 155.
