To whomever gives a damn... PRELIMS for this card ARE NOT on ESPN. ESPN is reserved for college football. PRELIMS will however, be on ESPNews

We just witnessed this past weekend Zhang upsetting to become the first UFC Chinese Champion. Can Dustin pull off another upset against Khabib in this year of main event upsets? I think he can. Dustin has been underdog most of his fights and most of the time he ends up winning.

Yes Khabib should be heavy fav and has the bigger chance of winning but I can see Dustin pulling the upset. Probably be one of the biggest upsets in UFC History if he pulls it off. Holy ****, imagine!!

I’m really liking Lee, Blaydes, and Islam parlay! I see all 3 winning confidently.

I’d say I’m 85% confident on this play. 💰🦈

Countdown video gave me goosebumps just now. I hope Dustin Poirier shocks the world!


Awww man... Dustin getting emotional in his speech! Hope he wins, he deserves it! Never had nothing growing up. He also gives back to the community and is a family man.

Yeah, I like Dustin. I've got nothing against Khabib but I'm hoping Poirier pulls off the upset. It's a big ask though. Dustin's TDD is OK but at just 69% I don't think that'll do it. I don't think Khabib is going to be silly enough to stand with him for long, and even if he does, Dustin would have to uncork something absolutely monstrous to get him out of there. It would have to be a one-shot KO. No point following Nurmy to the ground.

I was tempted to pick Davi Ramos to get the submission upset over Makhachaev but I talked myself out of it because he won't let it hit the ground or even if it does his ground game is good enough to survive or avoid any trouble at all.
Then I watch this and I'm back to saying "**** it! Ramos gets the submission

Nurmagomedov vs. Poirier
Khabib Nurmagomedov, DEC
most obvious thing that could happen is khabib smothers diamond for five straight rounds so....

Felder vs. Barboza II
Paul Felder, DEC
Felder grounds and pounds his way to a w.

Madge vs. Ziam
Don Madge, TKO, R1
Madge has looked incredibly good so far

Predictions: 2 of 2 Winners, 1 Perfect, 150 Points   |   Tied for 2410th

Blaydes vs. Abdurakhimov
Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R2
Blaydes is the clear choice to ground & pound his way to a tko victory. Not much value at the betting window. Always a danger laying big juice in a HW fight, but the styles of these fighters allows for a bet here. I will be putting Blaydes and Khabib together on a 2 pick parlay for this event. Current odds make that a -182 payout. I will take that and move on to college football on Sat. Since this fight takes place so early in the USA

Taisumov vs. Ferreira
Mairbek Taisumov, TKO, R1
I Cap Mairbek Taisumov @ 85% win probability -556....... Pretty straight forward fight Diego has minimal defense at best while mairbek is a pinpoint sniper with devastating power and Elite take down defense.

Cardio is going to be a huge factor on this one, if it goes to the later round Poirier could pull a Miocic and finish Khabib.
