Jones vs. Gustafsson II
Jon Jones, TKO, R3
As much as I'd love Gus to win this, I don't see it happening.

Justino vs. Nunes
Amanda Nunes, DEC
Nunes has the best shot out of anyone, let's see how the cardio plays out

Condit vs. Chiesa
Mike Chiesa, DEC
Maybe they'll submit each other at the same time.

Penn vs. Hall
Ryan Hall, DEC
If he pushes Penn he might win by KO. Who's still letting him fight?

Wood vs. Ewell
Andre Ewell, TKO, R2
If this goes the distance I'll be shocked; as to who will get the win, that's even more perplexing.

Condit vs. Chiesa
Mike Chiesa, SUB, R2
Top pressure in transitions. Chiesa doesn't want to retire. Condit seems to be going through the motions.

I picked Jones but I would be okay with Alexander taking it.
Also, I think Nunez has this.

Condit vs. Chiesa
Mike Chiesa, DEC
I want to believe in Condit, but after 42 fights I can't pick him. Lot of mileage on that body and I'm guessing Chiesa will be able to land multiple takedowns if needed.

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 450 Points   |   Tied for 989th

Arlovski vs. Harris
Walt Harris, TKO, R2
Idk about this one. Feel like Arlovski might be able to get the decision if he can make walt hesitate and wrestle

Anderson vs. Zingano
Cat Zingano, DEC
Maybe 3rd round Zingano TKO from mounch. Or chokey porra

Yan vs. Andrade
Douglas Andrade, TKO, R1
I just think Yan gaethje's too much (Shell defense instead of exiting the pocket) and Andrade hits like a ******* truck. Durable AF too. I think Yan decision if Andrade doesn't clobber him.

Wood vs. Ewell
Nathaniel Wood, DEC
Ewell could get the KO here, but Wood is the better overall fighter. +475 Ewell KO is a good bet

Hall vs. Lewis
Uriah Hall, DEC
Who knows really. Uriah is probably done, and Lewis isn't really that 'extraordinary'. All depends on if Hall actually gives a **** any more, and has any heart left.

Millender vs. Bahadurzada
Curtis Millender, DEC
Siyar wins if he can consistently pressure Milender. All of Milenders holes expose when you push him back. I haven't seen enough of that in Siyar's career, so i'm leaning Milender.

Kelleher vs. Jackson
Montel Jackson, DEC
Montel really didn't impress me vs. Simon. I see why he'd be the favorite, but I can see him getting out worked and not throwing anything damaging enough to play counterweight to Kelleher's movement, clinching etc. Hard to say. I want to pick Kelleher, but i've been swayed.
