Man it makes me sick that they get 10 and 10 to put their life on the line....
It's the monstermoneymachine...
All fighters should stand together and use their medial stage to flex their business muscles. The biggest paid fighters should be standin in the front of the demand in an ideal scenario, leadin the way.
Gets me raddled up!

Thiago Santos, TKO, R2
It's a really hard to bet against Jones like ever. But I do. Cuz I like when cheaters lose. But I'll never get back all the bets I lost betting against him. ******* killer.
Rockhold vs. Błachowicz
Jan Błachowicz, DEC
Rockhold is done. Blachowicz is a monster. Rockhold as 2:1 favorite in this fight is insanity. Easy bet for Blachowicz here.
Chiesa vs. Sanchez
Diego Sanchez, DEC
I like a bet on Sanchez in this one. I'm not overly confident he's going to win. But at +300, it seems like a good bet.

Holly Holm
Holly Holm is a boxing. Amanda beat Cyborg because of her speed. Holly knows whats coming for her. This is going to be a technical fight. If holly captures the speed, she is going to win this easy pick for her.

Ben Askren
Vote of confidence goes to Ben Askern. The guy was weak before Robbie Lawler. This is going to be a challenge for him. Lets see how strong his jaw is because if it is not, Jorge is going to knock him out. I hope he is clear about this before getting into this fight.

Michael Chiesa, SUB, R2
Either Diego isn't 5'10" or Chiesa isn't 6'1".... Because he looked massive next to Diego.. I know, I know.... Size is an advantage in most circumstances, but is a disadvantage in other areas. Still, I like this matchup. Still can't get that destruction of Mickey Gall outta my head. I dnt expect that to happen tho.
Melendez vs. Allen
Arnold Allen, DEC
This is Gil's BEST CHANCE at breaking his looong 4 fight skid. His last win, geeezus. Was October 2013. That's a looong long time. Arnold Allen is Noooo slouch tho. It's a tough fight for Gil. Allen's riding his own equally long streak, but of the winning kind. Unbeaten since August 2014. I won't say it's a step-up in competition, but it's by far the biggest name He'll face yet in his career. I expect Gilbert's streak of misfortune to continue, however he's one tough ************ and I don't expect him to be finished atleast.
Vera vs. Hernandez
Marlon Vera, TKO, R2
Chito Vera has rapidly become one of my favorite pound-4-pound fighters to watch. Veryyy exciting guy to watch, win or lose. His BJJ game is legit. Sooo legit, that it allows him to throw strikes at will. And has actually become a dual threat so to say. He can strangle you or knock you the **** out. Pick your poison. Like that game played as kids, "would you rather....."
Gadelha vs. Markos
Cláudia Gadelha, DEC
Maaaan, this fight is sooo important for Gadelha's career. That last fight out vs. was it ****** Nina Ansaroff? It was an ugly loss. She just didn't look like the same Claudia. I know she switched camps for that fight, but it was more than that. She just looked unmotivated. Like she was just collecting a check and halfway thru the fight, decided she wanted nooo part of any such fight. She got beaten and battered by a sub par opponent. That's why THIS FIGHT is so important. It'll answer alotta the questions I have.
Perez vs. Song
Yadong Song, DEC
These young Chinese fighters (Weili Zhang included) are fun to watch. I'm not sure what it is about these Asians, but they seem to make exciting fights a bigger priority than winning fights.. That being said, you add Turbo Pérez into the mix, I expect nothing short of bell to bell excitement.
Marshman vs. Shahbazyan
Edmen Shahbazyan, DEC
You got the sledgehammer and the hammer on the same card... Again. Annnd it's looking like both are gonna come outta 239 as if they got beaten by a hammer. Marshman is a tough, gritty son of a ***** tho. Which leads me to believe Edmen gotta settle for a decision win
Naurdiev vs. Rencountre
Ismail Naurdiev, TKO, R2
Chance Rencountre is one of those guys, I just WANT TO SEE get smashed. He's gotta face, that just looks smashable. And whatta joyous occasion that'd be ! C'mon Austrian Wonderboy!! Please do some epic smashing on a smashable smashing face, pretty please
Kianzad vs. Avila
Julia Avila, DEC
I reeaaally don't know what to do here. We've watched Pannie on TUF. Slightly below average. Then she did look a little more promising (promising to be better than slightly below average) in her official UFC Debut. Then there's Newcomer Julia Avila. She's debuting, Arguably the better fighter who fought better opposition, and she's the favorite. But Pannie has already got the UFC debut and so called octagon jitters outta the way and she's got double the experience, AND SHE'S YOUNGER (surprisingly) And Julia Avila lost to that ****-king bum from TUF, Marciea Allen. Which reeaaally makes things cloudy. I'm literally flipping a coin for fighter, method, and round to pick.
