Predictions: 4 of 8 Winners, 0 Perfect, 215 Points | Tied for 1991st
Jussier Formiga, DEC
Formiga will use his boring style to jab out Joe in the first couple rounds, then take him down and lay on him. If this is a 5 rounder, it will be a slow, boring decision.
Maia vs. Martin
Demian Maia, SUB, R1
I think Maia will destroy Martin with a quick submission. Martin will come out with heavy leg kicks, but Maia has more experience. He will climb on Martin’s back, and sink in a quick, quick RNC. It will be an action packed fight, and I’m excited. I am most hype for this fight.
Craig vs. Menifield
Paul Craig, SUB, R2
I think Craig will go in there, and score some kicks and punches, get in a striking battle, then get an armbar.
Pettis vs. Ramos
Sergio Pettis, SUB, R2
I think Pettis will score a fun submission in round 2, RNC. I will be a good fight.
Moreira vs. Anders
Eryk Anders, TKO, R3
I think Eryk will be losing big time in the fight, but score a big comeback win in the final round.
Greene vs. Albini
Maurice Greene, DEC
I think Greene will crank a boring, jab heavy decision. It will not be that fun of a fight, but it will be a boring fight. 29-28 Greene.

Formiga vs. Benavidez II
Joseph Benavidez, DEC
Benavidez is slowing down a bit, but he's still better than a Formiga.
Maia vs. Martin
Demian Maia, SUB, R2
Martin's new back pack.
Pichel vs. Roberts
Roosevelt Roberts, DEC
Roosevelt Roberts is such an old school name.
Craig vs. Menifield
Paul Craig, SUB, R3
Menifield will win two rounds and a half before getting caught in a desperate submission by a bloody Braveheart Craig.

Francis N'Gannou
My brain says, Santos is the past. The predator will win. Why? Because JDS cannot beat him. He will never beat him.

Ngannou, KO R1.
I've enjoyed the JDS resurgence as much as anybody, but the buck stops here. I will not pick anyone in a striking match against Ngannou. He has the touch of death. Expect to see JDS ended in horrific fashion in this one, early.
Maia vs Rocco
Maia, sub r2.
Maia could drop this, but he did look phenomenal in his last outing and I was very confident he'd drop that one. Rocco is a good step up, but I have to think Maia will find his back at some stage, and from there it's a wrap. I think Rocco's confidence in his own BJJ will lull him into a false sense of security. Rocco may just outpoint him from th outside, however. You'll know how this one is gonna go within the first 50 seconds of the first round.
Albini vs Greene
Albini, KO/TKO R2.
I get that Albini has been lackulustre in the UFC, but he's fought good guys. Greene is just ordinary all around really. The baby is probably going to punch his lights out here for a much needed win.
Craig vs Menfield
Craig, sub r1
Not impressed with Menfield, especially his willingness or inability to reverse clinch positions, and his largely poor cardio. Craig isn't going to take the belt but he's solid enough, and has been proven to grit out sneaky subs from behind. Menfield doesn't bring anything he hasn't seen before a hundred times.
Dober vs Reyes
Dober, KO/TKO R1.
This is a bit of a coin toss. Essentially this one will come down to who lands big first. Both guys have heavy hands and like to slug it out in the pocket. I think Dober has the better chin, Reyes has the better footwork and hands. Should be a barnburner while it lasts. I'll take Dober to get it done.
Moriera vs Anders
Anders is a ******* spastic, and I hate him. Let's just get that out of the way. He is literally the stupidest fighter I have ever seen. That said, he's fighting an utter can here, and even a low-IQ 25 karat deer in the headlights ****gibbon like Anders should be able to win one way or another against a guy as bad as Moriera. If he drops this one, he needs to be cut. End of.

Remember what N'Gannou did to velasquez? The same thing is coming...
The time when Cain, JDS, Werdum and Overeem were the top guy is over since Miocic put Werdum to sleep.
