Stipe Miocic, TKO, R2
Cormier comes in lighter this time says to me he plans on making this a higher pace grappling match and will try to wear Miocic down. It probably is the right game plan because no matter what anybody says even Cormier was surprised when the punch he landed was as effective as it was. That kind of shot will be very hard to duplicate. So I expect Cormier to do what he always does and it has worked vs everyone not named Jon Jones until now. My pick is Miocic to get the KO this time. There is a reason the HW belt is so hard to defend and Cormier is about to find out why. To me Miocic is the best HW of all time. This pick is no slight to Cormier but I feel Miocic learned plenty from the last fight and will get the KO that he maybe took for granted in the first meeting.

Daniel Cormier, TKO, R3
I think Stipe can use his reach advantage and keep DC off of him early, but DC will grind him out and finish him in the 3rd or 4th by TKO
Diaz vs. Pettis
Anthony Pettis, TKO, R1
Heavy leg kicks to the lead leg of Diaz followed by big body shots, Pettis has good power at 170 and can surprise Diaz who's been out of the game for 3 years
Romero vs. Costa
Paulo Costa, DEC
Both fighters have proven to be tough, and although I want to say there's levels to this game and Romero is on that "next level", I'll be pulling for the young hungry lion to mix things up in the division.

Did you actually see how many times Hall put leather on Costa? If he's that open against Romero he's gonna get smoked. Fast.
Not gonna win rookie of the year, are you champ?

Daniel Cormier, SUB, R3
Miocic is lighter than DC, that surprised me. He's always weighed in at around 240/45. Wonder what the drop in weight is for? Obvious answer is he's gonna try stick and move for DEC or late TKO, maybe I don't ****** know with this fight???!!! If Stipe is thinking that its gonna be hard to keep DC the tank at bay! Another way I see this fight is DC pressures takedowns gets the back sinks in the choke. Not hard to come up with that as that's what DC does!!! I'm all over the shop with this 1. Probably make a rash decision 5minutes before picks lock as I tend to do!!!!
Yusuff vs. Benítez
Gabriel Benítez, DEC
I think for the 1st time ever I agree with Colby Jr, feels dirty!!!. But Yusuff is way too big a favourite here! Benetiz is good, better camp, more well rounded and isn't coming into this fight witg the expectation that Yusuff is being a big favourite and the new prospect! I think I'm taking Benitez here!
Bermudez vs. Kenney
Casey Kenney, DEC
Bermudez missed weight AGAIN!!! He must move to 145 next! I was gonna take Kenney here anyway as I think if you avoid tge obvious submission danger Bermudez aint all that good! 5might change my mind but I think Kenney can use his wrestling in reverse and outstrike Bermudez pretty easily and as the fight goes into later rounds he can work tge clinch maybe even throw in a takedown against a tired and drained Bermudez.
Cifers vs. Esquibel
Hannah Cifers, DEC
Womens MMA! Anything can happen!!! Esquibel is pretty trash but I see no reason to have so much faith in a cifers who went to split decision with Viana, not nearly -300 faith anyway!!!! Its Womens MMA!!! Any thing can happen!!!
Davis vs. Kang
Brandon Davis, DEC
I like Davis as the underdog here. But I'm picking an awful lot of underdogs on this card. Not sure if my balls are big enough to pull the trigger???

Nate was pretty blah about Pettis but that's Nate. Still up in the air but leaning toward Pettis.
Swapped from Kang to Davis after he tossed his flag in the floor. Karma

I think I'll go with Romero. Hes a counter striker and the hardest hitter in the division. If costa thinks hes going to go in there and physically bully Romero hes got anything thing coming

picking dc, betting a donut with bill
Diaz vs. Pettis
Anthony Pettis, DEC
I think in a 3 round pettis has a good chance to out work nate for the judges. Id love to see this fight all over the place, a decision fight im exctied for!
Romero vs. Costa
Yoel Romero, TKO, R2
I think romero gets another surprise flat line here. Costa might be a champ someday, but i think hes underestimating romero.
