Won't be James Vick's night

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 495 Points   |   Tied for 1070th


For these 3 reasons:
-Gaethje's ability to take a hit and keep coming is coming Vick hasnt seen. 
-Vick wont be able to utilize his length since Gaethje's pressure will be constantly in Vick's face.
-Vick's best chance of victory is on the ground, but Gaethje is an All-American Wrestler and always gets back standing

Gaethje gets back in the win column, and as a +130 underdog its a pretty appealing play

Gaethje vs. Vick
James Vick, TKO, R3
Keep going back and forth on this one. Gaethje's chin has failed him already so i'm picking Vick.

Johnson vs. Fili
Andre Fili
Surely Johnson is done if he loses...

Hill vs. Casey
Angela Hill, DEC
Going to be a long winded fight i'd say.

Ellenberger vs. Barberena
Bryan Barberena, TKO, R2
Bam Bam all the way. Jake should fight for another organisation already.

Moraga vs. Figueiredo
Deiveson Figueiredo, DEC
Picking the undefeated guy.

Anders vs. Williams
Eryk Anders, TKO, R1
Anders should mual this guy.

Krause vs. Alves
Warlley Alves, DEC
Fook Krause,

Sanchez vs. Perez
Markus Perez, DEC
Sanchez's last fight was painful to watch.

Gall vs. Sullivan
Mickey Gall, SUB, R1
Passing of the torch! Gall gets it done.Seems more humble since his loss.

Calderwood vs. Faria
Kalindra Faria, DEC
Jo jo seems too slow and dopey, Faria drops bombs and rips leg kick,

Anders vs. Williams
Eryk Anders, TKO, R1
Higher quality prospect. Better overall fighter.

Krause vs. Alves
James Krause, DEC
Krause has never lost at welterweight

Alcântara vs. Sandhagen
Iuri Alcântara, SUB, R2
Experience will be a factor in this one.

Sanchez vs. Perez
Markus Perez, TKO, R1
If Markus can keep it standing it's going to be a rough night for Sanchez

Gall vs. Sullivan
Mickey Gall, SUB, R2
Mickey galls youth will play a factor in this match I believe.

Calderwood vs. Faria
Joanne Calderwood, DEC
Jo jo is in a good place mentally and when she is she's very dangerous.

Dober vs. Tuck
Drew Dober, DEC
Drew dober will be too big for tuck and tuck has flawed ground game.

He’s not going anywhere...

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 750 Points   |   Tied for 39th with 1 other

Even if Gaethje loses this one & his next one, he won’t get cut. He style is too exciting & he sells bc he puts it all on the line every fight. He has 3 fights in the ufc so far but has FOUR bonuses in those 3 fights!! 😱 He’s not going anywhere....

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 390 Points   |   Tied for 1476th

Gaethje vs. Vick
Justin Gaethje, TKO, R3
James will try to be mobile, but Gaethje's leg kicks and forward pressure is going to be too much for the Texecutioner. I anticipate James getting rocked, Gaethje taking it to the ground. Ground & pound TKO for Gaethje in the 3rd.

Johnson vs. Fili
Michael Johnson, DEC
Fili's last fight left much to be desired and Michael Johnson needs a win BADLY. Andre overestimates Michael Johnson, Johnson wins the judges over.

Hill vs. Casey
Angela Hill, DEC
I just want Angela to win.

Ellenberger vs. Barberena
Jake Ellenberger, TKO, R2
Jake's been talking about how he's feeling really good despite this incredible losing streak. Gotta go with the heavy underdog.

Anders vs. Williams
Tim Williams, TKO, R1
People sleepin on Tim Williams at +900. First round KO in tourteen seconds.

Krause vs. Alves
James Krause, DEC
James gonna be the fresher guy and on a 4-fight winstreak, fights smart and won't leave himself open.

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 740 Points   |   46th Place

Gaethje vs. Vick
James Vick, TKO, R3
justin can definitely find the chin on vick, but fighting someone with a 5" reach advantage after getting years taken off your life just doesn't seem like a great matchup. would love to be wrong though because justin is that entertaining when he's on.

Johnson vs. Fili
Michael Johnson, DEC
i think fili relies on being the more aggressive striker and i'm not sure mj is gonna give him that role.

Hill vs. Casey
Angela Hill, DEC
there are times where casey looks like a contender and times when she looks like a rookie. angela hill doesn't have her level of ground game, but she's way better on the feet.

Ellenberger vs. Barberena
Bryan Barberena, TKO, R1
definitely don't trust jake anymore.

Moraga vs. Figueiredo
Deiveson Figueiredo, DEC
moraga is a tough and durable guy, he's gonna make alcantara work for any ground he gains. i guess i'm just not buying him as a contender again yet and i think deiveson has a lot of tools he can use to take this one.

Anders vs. Williams
Eryk Anders, TKO, R1
ufc needs to just let tim williams move on, he never made an impact on tuf and his lone ufc fight looked awful for him. this smells like an intended feeding.

Krause vs. Alves
James Krause, DEC
krause comes off pretty intelligent from what i've seen and i trust that he'll figure out what to do with a raging bull type. warlley isn't the "next big thing" like we thought he might've been.

Alcântara vs. Sandhagen
Cory Sandhagen, DEC
iuri is on the older end and even though he can surprise people, i feel like this match is not set up in his favor.

Sanchez vs. Perez
Andrew Sanchez, DEC
sanchez still has a lot of potential if he can stop himself from blowing his gas tank early.

Gall vs. Sullivan
Mickey Gall, SUB, R1
sullivan is just too inconsistent for me to have faith anymore and his history of getting subbed would seem to be right up mickey's alley.

Calderwood vs. Faria
Joanne Calderwood, TKO, R2
if faria fights smart, she could absolutely take this because she has a decent ground game and jojo has nothing there, but i'm gonna pick against it. partially because i have that invicta soft spot for jojo, but also because she should have a solid striking advantage and i think she can stuff some td attempts.

Dober vs. Tuck
Drew Dober, DEC
tuck beats guys who don't belong and while dober isn't a contender, he definitely belongs.

Sanders vs. Yahya
Rani Yahya, DEC
i like to think that luke can counter-wrestle, but there are so many that have tried and failed against rani that i have to think he'll find the td at some point. i'm gonna go with decision though just to go against what seems like the obvious choice.

First round, Vick going to majority use his jabs and keep his distance. That KO will come either on the 1st or 2nd round by slip 1-2 while Justin throwing a leg kick .

@bruce whats up brother how u been? I
 think it was booze because it seemed like sanchez said no untill he smelled a whif of it.
And they took small sips. I guess tequila.
Hopefully one of the many stupid journalists at the post con will ask.
