I took Allen in very low confidence. I agree Allen is a good young talent who could become very good. He might break the top 10 a bit but I don’t think his ceiling is as high as Gil’s or the people Gil has recently lost to. I think Gil can easily win this if he’s even close to his old form.   That said, he’s looked aged before the two years off. Hopefully it rejuvenated him but too many times I’m just seeing some of my old favorites and greats age and get passed by. I’m kinda rooting for Gil but expecting the young lion to prevail.

Gil doesn't have a ceiling. Those are for prospects. Gil is on the decline. Could still win though. Allen needed a great comeback against Burnell but yeah probably another changing of the guard.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 415 Points   |   Tied for 1946th

Nunes vs. Holm
Amanda Nunes, DEC
かなりの塩試合になると思います。ヌネスは逃げ足のあるホルムをフィニッシュしづらいため、スタミナを温存しながら戦うと思います。そしてホルムはカウンターを警戒してほぼ顔面を殴れないと思います。試合は5ラウンドまで行く可能性が高いと思います。ヌネスが打撃のインパクトの差でヌネスが勝利すると思います。

Askren vs. Masvidal
Ben Askren, DEC
この試合はマスヴィダルが前に出れるかどうかにかかっています。アスクレンはカウンターでタックルを仕掛けるより最初から打撃無しで組みつき、テイクダウンを狙ってきます。そこでマスヴィダルがジャブでアスクレンのタイミングを切りつつ前に出ることができればアスクレンが先にバテることになると思います。しかし、逆にマスヴィダルが下がる展開になったときにはカウンターのないマスヴィダルに組み付けると思います。その場合、マスヴィダルのほうが先にバテる可能性が高いです。かなり予想が難しい試合で、ほぼ五分五分ですが、アスクレンの根性と気合が上回るのかなと思います。

Rockhold vs. Błachowicz
Luke Rockhold, DEC
この試合はロクホの気合にかかっています。積極的にパンチを交換し、テイクダウンのチャンスを作れるかどうかで決まると思います。

Chiesa vs. Sanchez
Diego Sanchez, DEC
キエサがどれだけ組で対処できるかにかかっています。キエサに特に打撃の優位があるわけでもないので、サンチェスが組付、テイクダウンできるのではないかと思っています。

Melendez vs. Allen
Arnold Allen, DEC
メレンデスの反応がどれだけ無事かにかかっていると思います。プレッシャーを掛けてくるアレンに適切にカウンターを当てることができるかにかかっていますが、今のメレンデスだと怪しいところです。

Gadelha vs. Markos
Randa Markos, DEC
力が強くて、スタミナの悪い二人ですが、マルコスのほうがグラウンドでの優位があると思います。

Perez vs. Song
Alejandro Perez, DEC
ヤドンは中国の堀口になれるポテンシャルのあるファイターです。フットワークがよく、カウンターもレスリングもあります。しかし、ペレスが前回完璧なテイクダウンディフェンスを見せました。打撃のスキルだけで見たらペレスが上回っている気がするので、ペレス予想です。

Naurdiev vs. Rencountre
Ismail Naurdiev, TKO, R1
かなり実力差があると思います。ノーディエフはプラゼレスのテイクダウンもうまく防いだので、この試合もうまくテイクダウンを防ぎ、ミドルキックあたりでKOすると思います。

Yes, I agree, mulefloyd. Or I could argue Gil has reached his ceiling but we’re clearly arguing the same thing  Perhaps I didn’t word what I was trying to say right...or your trying to nitpick  but my point is I’m not sure Allen will ever be or won’t ever be on the level or reach the heights or status that Gil, Alvarez, Petis, Barboza or even Stephens has. I thought it was obvious we are making the same point. 

Yes, also agree it’s a very winnable fight, hence my low confidence in taking Allen. Mads was definitely was winning that fight. He better vs Rinaldi but that’s Rinaldi. 

Again, I took Allen but want Gil.

@Freemoney trust me bro... I've thought long and hard about that Gadelha vs. Markos scrap. I just hope Claudia's last time out was that one **** performance. Coz like I said. It was an ugly loss. But I've been flip-floppin again. More with Jones vs. Santos or Blachowicz vs. Rockhold. Those are the bigger flip-floppers... Atleast for me

I guess no contest is not an options. But I think this turns into a no contest due to “accidental” eye poke.
