Rubin Victory

Predictions: 14 of 16 Winners, 1 Perfect, 830 Points   |   Tied for 184th

Hoping for a Rubin victory. I'd love to see her knock off Julia Budd, get a title shot against Valentina, and become the UFC Flyweight Champion with an undefeated streak of 8 wins and 0 losses.

Predictions: 11 of 16 Winners, 5 Perfect, 815 Points   |   Tied for 200th

Budd vs. Rubin
Olga Rubin, DEC
I like Big Bad Olga here.

Agazarm vs. Landin
Jacob Landin, DEC
This AJ was HORRIBLE in his debut! Apparently partying with Nick Diaz does not make you a fighter! Yet 90% are picking him? I know he's getting the Coker Special but still, the guys nickname is Jiu Jitsu Jesus so he must be awesome!

Varga vs. Taylor III
Jamese Taylor III, SUB, R2
Is that Varga who fought in Glory? Who am I asking this question? I'm not too keen on Kickboxers jumping in to MMA, even if he is up against a Coker Special! That's a bum folks! I don't know whether to go for the KO, crappy decision or the old kickboxer gets choked out!? Hhmmmm, decisions decisions

I notice there’s a lot of Americans picking against Budd that’s typical tho Budd wins a easy 10-8 Decision in most rounds

Predictions: 14 of 16 Winners, 8 Perfect, 1040 Points   |   6th Place

Budd vs. Rubin
Julia Budd, DEC
I see this being a 5 round snooze fest for Julia Budd en route to another title defense

Carvalho vs. Njokuani
Rafael Carvalho, DEC
I always thought the Njokuani's are JUST Average. I atleast would say Carválho is a little better than average.

Ruth vs. Kunimoto
Ed Ruth, TKO, R2
I expect MY MAAAAN, Ed Ruth to get back to dominating. I didn't necessarily say "finishing", just dominating.

Young vs. Bauman
Jordan Young, SUB, R1
Welp, sayyy goodbye to your undefeated record Joel Bauman

Smith vs. Kavanagh
Leslie Smith, DEC
Let's be honest, Sinead Kavanagh is hot steamy trash. She could maybe beat Fishy's Girrrl, Tonya Evinger. battle of the ole haggards

Varga vs. Taylor III
Gabriel Varga, TKO, R2
These Kickboxing dudes just loove MMA.
