Isreal should win but Vettori will be a big step up from Wilkinson. Vettori did pretty well against Anton Carlos Jr grappling. If he manages to get Isreal done he could play spoiler.

My 2 locks of this event are; Gilbert Burns by Sub, Luke Sanders by Tko and 3rd and 4th are Bhullar UD, Carlos Junior via Sub and after that this event gets pretty tricky with picks. Several fights going to be legit tossups. 

I could see Casey playing spoiler, and Rainey stands a solid chance against Muslim stylistically they match up great.

Weis vs Moraga is my hardest pick personally.

Yes adasenya is getting a huge step up from wilkinson.
 If he keeps it on the feet I think he's in for an easy night.
No disrespect to wilkinson or vettori intended but
 Adasenya is future top ten for sure. He stays so calm
Even when he does get taken down he gets back up asap
While taking minimal damage on the ground. 

I agree with u on all of those except junior. Tim boetsch
Old school veteran lots of experience against some good
Opponents. I don't know much on junior though. And every
Fight is always a toss up. One shot or one wrong move
And its over the refs waking u up and your asking him if u won.

Adasenya is basically Anderson Silva 2.0  minus the  BJJ skills.

It's enough to pull Vettori's Plug. Adesanya by effortless looking KO/TKO within two.

I'm not saying Isreal will lose just saying this is a much, much tougher fight.

Boetsch has been subbed by guys with far less grappling skills than ACJ. He's an elite grappler. Boetsch better pray he lands a hard shot that's the only way i see him winning imo.

This will be my first time watching carlos jr.
So I can't say anything about him really.
I have however seen boetsch in similar fights 
As this one and I would say if carlos submits him
It will b in round two or three after boetsch gasses
Out.

I'm really struggling to pick salikhov vs rainey
And sanders vs Williams. Wish I could unpick both those.

You silly rabbit Sanders is gonna crack Williams. 

Never watch Carlos Jr? He's got world class BJJ. There will be a huge disadvantage for Tim in the grappling department.

Rainey matches up well against Salikov. Both strikers. Although neither has that big name it's a sleeper for a great fight.

I don't know why you're high like this with Adasenya... Maybe he will crash the top ten one day but he will be destroy by beast like Whittaker, Romero, Souza!

Hurm adesanya will be top ten, definitely. His striking will be proven the best in the UFC one day. However I agree with you that unless he somehow manages to develop a miraculous wrestling base over the course of the next few years he will likely never be champ with guys like Whittaker, Romero, weidman, rockhold and  gastelum around.

Very few fighters can fight in the ufc without knowing
They have to learn grappling both wrestling and jujitsu. 
If you think adesenya isn't working on both your crazy. 
Rob wilkinson did not have the ability to test Israel on 
The ground. He could barley get him down never mind
Keep him there. And adesenya I believe is a blue belt
In jujitsu. I know thats only secound rank for an
Adult but he's well on his way to brown. And you can't
Say he has no chance with anyone untill they fight 
And its proven. I mean that would be like saying bet the farm
On the last style bender tomorrow night.  Vittori has no chance! 
Easy!
