Prediction Comments

Predictions: 3 of 12 Winners, 0 Perfect, 150 Points   |   Tied for 2310th

Nurmagomedov vs. McGregor
Conor McGregor, TKO, R1
Who knows.

Ferguson vs. Pettis
Tony Ferguson
Hopefully another war like the Poirier-Pettis fight

St. Preux vs. Reyes
Dominick Reyes
OSP never impresses me.

Lewis vs. Volkov
Alexander Volkov, DEC
Volkov survived Roy Nelson

Waterson vs. Herrig
Felice Herrig, DEC
Waterson can't seem to hang in with bigger girls. I don't think she one her last fight.

Pettis vs. Formiga
Sergio Pettis, DEC
Mini Pettis has gotten better every fight.

Luque vs. Turner
Jalin Turner, R1
No clue who these guys are

Evinger vs. Ladd
Tonya Evinger, DEC
Evinger lasted longer than I thought she would against Cyborg and is a tested veteran; I think she can take an elbow from Ladd.

Patrick vs. Holtzman
Scott Holtzman, DEC
Wrestle****

Kunitskaya vs. Länsberg
Lina Länsberg, TKO, R3
Lina lasted longer against Cyborg and Yana has no ground game to speak of.

Maynard vs. Lentz
Gray Maynard
Probably one of those fights where the guys are fighting to not get cut. Toss up.

LaFlare vs. Martin
Ryan LaFlare, SUB, R3
Laflare was able to hang with Maia and Martin has been submitted a couple of times. Good enough for me.

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 555 Points   |   Tied for 122nd

Nurmagomedov vs. McGregor
Khabib Nurmagomedov, SUB, R1
Unless the Irish luck shones again on Mac (ala Aldo) i see Mac dragged down and subbed in the 1st.

Ferguson vs. Pettis
Tony Ferguson, DEC
Pettis starts great but fades under pressure.

St. Preux vs. Reyes
Ovince St. Preux, SUB, R2
OSP too experienced....

Lewis vs. Volkov
Alexander Volkov, DEC
Derrick shows improvement but Volkov volume gets dec

Alright, almost time to begin the night. I got Laflare by decision. Went out on a big limb there I know. I like Martin but can't see him taking out Ryan.

Martin is looking good at WW. Might be a bitty LaFlare looking old.

Wow. That’s was awesome. Glad to pick it wrong there. Martin looks like he is coming into his prime. Nice win for him, IMO.
