Duda Santana vs Malecki

santana, dec.

This is a new low for the promotion.Duda fights like she learned combat by defending a taro plantation from raiding monkeys by shouting and throwing green plantains at them, Malecki as though by playing Wii tennis with her kid brother. If you aren't sold yet on the idea that the UFC FW women's division needs to be scrapped, prepare to become a believer, because this fight is going to be a like a stool in the public urinal. These women may in fact be the ****tiest two female fighters I have ever seen. Gold and Silver. And that's saying something, because WMMA in general is awful. This will look like two menopausal half-starved Biafrans fighting over the last MRE in a NATO airdrop. Neither has a future in the UFC, Maybe the goal here is to keep them on the bench as subs for Cyborg if somebody actually good ever pulls out of a future fight. Or maybe they're just here to be fed to cyborg. Or Anderson, to validate her tenure in the UFC. Should either ever fight chris or even Megan here's a preview what those fights would look like:






Evinger vs Lansberg

Evinger, dec.


oh goodee; won't this be a treat. Seriously I have no idea why the matchmakers think anyone wants to see fights like this. I do not believe there is a single human being in existence, nor has there ever been, who is or has ever sat around thinking 'Man, I hope they make Lansberg vs Evinger..that would make my ******* life!'.
At least, like a flu shot or a prostrate exam you know what you're getting and can prepare for it in advance. Firstly,  Evinger: The go-to unkempt beater hag, who is dragged out like the old sweater you mow the lawn in, surly as librarian, smelling of soup and a wet dog, looking like she just woke up from beneath a staircase, to be brickbashed by women the UFC is trying to promote-- which in all fairness is a capacity in which she's ideal in because she is terrible as she is durable. Then you've got Lina lansberg who is also singularly awful and probably only ever gets a phone call because, like evinger, she's as difficult to finish as a poo sandwich.This is a fight that is only happening because ESPN needs warm female FW bodies in the cage, and I, and I suspect nobody else, cares what the outcome is any more they care about 50's vacuum cleaner service logs.

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 455 Points   |   Tied for 127th

Giagos v Hadzovic
Cristos Giagos, TKO, R1
Anticipating an upset from Giagos--intense early pressure and a TKO via ground and pound.

Clark v Stosic
Darko Stosic, TKO, R1
There are some real killers on this card, perhaps chief among them Stosic, who will have to overcome Clark's wrestling, which I think he'll do, in frightening fashion.

Teymur v Sung Bin Jo
Daniel Teymur, DEC
I think Teymur just ekes out a victory via more control time.

Belluardo v Alvarez
Danilo Belluardo, DEC
I think Belluardo also wins through superior grappling.  It's great to see decent grappling coming from more corners of the globe.

This is an extremely important fight for Gus and Smith, seems like a make or break moment for either guy. If Gus drops this one is it the last time we see him at LHW?

Easy fisharoonie stop hating on my wmma....... Malecki is a former two time muay Thai champion with an exciting fight style. And she's ******* gorgeous! She is exactly what the women's feather weight division needs.
The other girl is getting paid for a brawl to make a pretty new star look good......

P.s. fishrat im telling Megan anderson where u live. She's either gonna beat u up or lay on her back for fifteen minutes for a split decision. So watch your back bro. I'm tired of you berating my wmma.

WMMA RULES!!!!!!

I love invicta!!!.

GUSTAFSSON vs SMITH

gustafsson by decision

im wondering if gus will ever recover from that beating the cheating juicer gave him. he certainly hasnt been the same since then. and smith looked terrible in his title shot against the cheater, couldnt pull the trigger, it looked to me like he went in with the plan to just survive for 5 rounds. i have no confidence in this pick and i wouldnt bet this fight with fishs money.

OEZDEMIR vs LATIFI


oezdemir by ko/tko round 2 or 3


i think ooze will be out for blood. hes lost 3 in a row and his job might very well be on the line and imo he got screwed in his last fight against reyes. latifi is a tough out for anyone but if volkan wants to keep his spot on the roster he better show up with blood and fire in his eyes.

EVINGER vs LANSBURG

evinger by decision or late finish

i agree with fish that not many people are interested in this fight and it does nothing for the division. but hey, i made good money betting on evinger to last more than one round against cyborg so im not going to hate on her here. shes tougher than a junk yard dog and i dont see lansburg winning this fight anywhere.

SUNG BIN JO vs DANIEL TEYMUR

sung by ko/tko round 1 or 2

teymur came into the ufc with some amount of hype but he's now 0-3 in his ufc career. this is sung's debut, hes 9-0 with 9 finishes. all i could find on sung was a highlight reel, but the kids a finisher, hes bigger, younger and i think he shows teymur the exit.

ALEKSANDER RAKIC vs JIMI MANUWA

rakic by ko/tko round 1 or 2

this fight could be a slobber knocker for as long as it lasts. rakic, after 2 decision wins finally got his first ko in the octagon last time out. manuwa is on a 3 fight skid, manuwa is a power puncher for sure but hes been ko'd in 2 of his 3 losses.and even though those losses were to two of the hardest punchers in the division, in my book that puts a question mark on his chin.

It’s true, Phil, good point. Especially at Manuwa’s age, once you start getting checked out of consciousness and endure some of those wars it gets harder and harder to come back from. We all know he’s still dangerous AF offensively but his resiliency may never be the same. Some guys learn to adjust their styles (Arlovski-brutally kod multiple times including first fight), some guys take a lay-off to recover and some guys just don’t and keep going out on their shields, like the warriors they are. It can be hard to watch too.

yep, agreed. another one that fits that profile is the reem. his chin has completely turned to glass but he has adjusted his fighting style to compensate for that inadequacy, and has done so quite successfully.

Do you think Reyes won against Oezdemir ?

Predictions: 4 of 8 Winners, 0 Perfect, 215 Points   |   Tied for 1464th


I think it was a big robbery. Oezdemir had an improved cardio and he controled the fight with crisp technical stand up. He won at least two rounds.

Anyway, I think he's still improving and it will show agaisnt Latifi.

Some fights are just unpredictable. Duda Santana vs Bea Malecki is one of them.
We know very little about either fighter, so it's more or less a coin toss.

There should be an option to cancel a saved prediction for a bout, in case someone gets impulsive and misclicks.
