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.)

30-27 Andrade.

I don't get why Vera went full Diaz there at the end.

He couldn't get Andrade timed and measured. Seemed very off tonight to be fair, wonder if he's got an injury we don't know about.

Lineker and Andrade would look like mirror images in there. Especially with the new hair Andrade was sporting tonight. Both got that looping haymacker. That would confuse these incompetent judges though.

While I love Timothy Johnson's stash, the 25 year old Brazilian dude with nothing but finishes on his record is probably about to **** him up.

I hope Timothy fights smart unlike the Baby Abini fight.Tim does good when he fights smart,I thought he got robbed vs Volkov.I like Golm's striking,still a lot of questions about him of course.

Uhoh. 

Half a round of a mid-teir heavyweight fight has gone by without much action. 

We're probably in for a tedious one.

10-9 Tim. So, I guess Golm isn't the next Albini. Golm is having some problems with the clinch.

10-9 Johnson, but I hope he gets ripped off for being a wall and stalling lay-on ********. Should not be rewarded.

I gave Tim the 1st Round. The blood came from a head clash. So the judges will probably give it to Golm. Lol

10-9 Johnson, just became my most hated HW of all time and I will never watch him fight again unless it's to see him get KTFO by somebody good.

Brazilian color commentator: "Typical heavyweight fight here."
The other one: "I don't think Miocic vs Cormier will go down like this".

30-27 Tim. this was painfully boring to watch.

and Golm is dumb as a door. his cornermen were telling him every round "stay away from the clinch, kick him from the outside". the next big thing at HW he is not.

Two things:

b) Golm is the future....at rizin

Agreed it was a snoozer. But what Round did Golm win? I didn't see him win a Round. And it was dreadful to watch but Tim controlled roughly 80% of the fight and landed more. I didn't look at the strike count but Golm didn't do much of anything.
