Raulian Paiva, SUB, R3
Paiva is flying under the radar. He's really good, as is Kai but I'm rooting for Paiva as his girlfriend/fiancee died in a tragic car crash, he survived, fhe avoided death and is fighting for his dead girl I have to back him!
Vannata vs. Rosa
Lando Vannata, TKO, R1
Why is this guy fighting in the UFC? Really trying to get Lando a win, I'd laugh if he loses this 1. To be honest getting into a wwwar and almost finished by Matt Frevola doesn't inspire me with confidence!

Austin Arnett, DEC
Arnett (+255 Underdog) needs to avoid takedown. Tough fight - coin toss - odds are off.

Robert Whittaker, DEC
Kelvin Gastelum gettin the title shot... That's crazy. I honestly try to visualize how a fight will go, and how likely one is to finish the other in every way possible (that's my a.d.d.) and to be honest, I don't see many ways for Gastelum to win here. He probably has the power advantage, he could hope to crack him with a big overhand shot, that's about it.
Silva vs. Adesanya
Israel Adesanya, TKO, R2
Maaaaan..... This really is a fight from the striking gods... Old school vs. New school. I just think Israel Adesanya will be too much for Anderson... Although, I can honestly say I wouldn't be shocked if Anderson Silva pulled off a huge upset, which that's what they're promoting it as... Adesanya is a crazy -650 favorite.... Throw down $100 on Silva to win $475 is tempting, but I'm not a reeaaal big betting man.

Rani Yahya, SUB, R1
Look I like Ricky Simón. He's a solid all around guy, but.... I just think Rani Yáhya has hit his prime. He's on a whole different level than a few Yrs ago even. He's been strangling ppl left and right. He's only lost once in 9 outings. Submitting guys in 20/26 fights. That's intense. He's got a very slick grappling game, he's goood from top or bottom, and wrestling is Simón's thing, sooo he's putting himself in danger doing so. I think Rani finishes his 4th straight fight.
Kassem vs. De La Rosa
Montana De La Rosa, SUB, R2
People are sleeping on Montana (Stewart) de la Rosa.... But I think she'll be the one putting Nadia Kassem to sleep in R2.
Crute vs. Alvey
Jim Crute, TKO, R1
Maaaan. Sam Alvey and his big dumb stupid face. Nooo, not the one he makes when he's being a goofy bastard with a smile... The one after he gets punched in the face and it looks like his bottom jaw pushes forward. Just a big dumb stupid face. Call it wishful thinking, but I'd love to see Jimmy Crute KO Sam Alvey in super slo-mo. It'd be absolutely gorgeous.
Arnett vs. Young
Shane Young, TKO, R2
This SHOULD BE a fan friendly fight at the least.. Austin Arnett's Defense is, well..... Being punched in the face. Defense is nonexistent with this dude, which is why he tends to be in these crazy fights. He's sooo easily hittable, Ray Charles could knock him out. And Shane Young will gladly oblige. Sooo yeeaaaa. It should be a fun fight.
Kara-France vs. Paiva
Kai Kara-France, DEC
This kid Kai Kara-France WILL HELP SAVE THE FLYWEIGHT DIVISION. He's got an electric personality and it comes thru in his fight game. He's a goood example why the UFC needs Flyweight Division. The little guys need to bang tooo!
Vannata vs. Rosa
Lando Vannata, TKO, R2
Groovy Vannata finally ends his 4 fight winless drought with this fight......... I think, I hope, & I pray to something, Lando gets a win here. He badly needs it. if he loses or draws again here.... He'll prolly be cut from the UFC. He's tooo entertaining for that
