Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 595 Points | Tied for 644th
Valentina Shevchenko, TKO, R2
Liz Carmouche is tough as nails. She will need to rely on all that toughness to handle the high-level beating that Valentina will dish out. Carmouche is outclassed and it is likely be knocked out cold similar to how she slept Jessica Eye with that vicious head kick. I see 2 impressive knockouts in a row for The Bullet providing a lot of hype for a future bout with Amanda Nunes.

Vicente Luque, TKO, R3
I am a fan of Mike Perry and would like to see him win this, but the UFC has decided to feed him to a fellow savage who repeatedly destroys opponents with calculated precision in the octagon. I like to see Perry win his fights but I don't see how that happens here. Perry does have a punchers chance but I think skill level will determine who comes out victorious. Luque could take him down & easily submit him because Perry has horrible TDD, but I don't think Luque will do that. This fight will stay standing which is more dangerous for Luque but he still has enough of an advantage technically to KO Perry. We all know that Perry is an animal and will fittingly fight Luque viciously throwing every elbow and punch that he has in the process. Unfortunately even after Perrys improvements to his fight IQ will not be enough to beat Luque who will treat Perry like a matador does a bull, using his powerful technical striking to dismantle Platinum Mike. Perry is durable and built for war so I don't see Luque finishing him quickly. It will be an accumulated ass kicking and Perry will take a lot of damage. Luque will get beat up pretty badly too but not nearly as much. Eventually Platinum Mike breaks in Round 3. TKO finish.

Gane gets the easy victory. UFC needs to bring him along slow though..

Valentina Shevchenko, SUB, R2
For as good a striker Shevchenko is she has more submission wins in her career. Obviously it's hard to forget her insane headkick KO that looked like it crucified poor Jessica Eye!!! Thing is Shevchenko is a counter striker who will not strike 1st, I don't think Carmouche will be very willing to strike 1st so I see this being more of a clinch fight. My worry is we get a 5round staring contest my hope is it hits the ground and Shevchenko gets a sub quick!!
Luque vs. Perry
Vicente Luque, SUB, R2
Potential for some highlight reel action here. But I'm kinda expecting Luque to win this easier than a lot of people are expecting. Probably by hurting Perry on the feet or just taking him down and wrapping up a d'arce. Always the possibility that Perry pulls something off as he's a wildman! This fight reminds me of Geoff Neal v Nico Price the other week. I think the more skilled fighter defeats the wildman!!!
Bandenay vs. Garagorri
Humberto Bandenay, TKO, R1
I'm not sure why people seem to be favouring Garagorri who's making his debut coming off beating 2 0-0 guys!!! Looking at the rest of his record he hasn't ever beaten decent competition. Bandanay record is much better either but at least he's fought in the UFC 3x and has a win. Garagorri does seem to have a good submission game and Bandanay has a lot of submission loses so there's that. Tempted to go with Bandanay here based on UFC experience but the submissions worry me.
Oezdemir vs. Latifi
Volkan Oezdemir, DEC
I think it's fair to say Oezdemir run to the title shot was a fluke and proof of how shallow 205 was, though it seems to be improving. Question is, is he worse than Latifi??? I do think Oezdemir eas unlucky to lose to Reyes and Latifi is coming of a back injury which I assume will affect his athleticism, 1 of his strong points. Oezdemir weakness is his Takedown defence and cardio but against Reyes he seemed to have fixed those issues but saving energy probably cost him thr fight! I don't think Latifi will bf able to capitalise if Oezdemir fights like that again as he's very low output himself. I'll take Oezdemir but I'm not confident that Latifi doesn't rag doll him!!!
Piechota vs. Vieira
Rodolfo Vieira, SUB, R1
Viera is 1 of the best BJJ guys in all of MMA! His nickname "The Black Belt Hunter" is appropriate. He's been doing work over in ACB/ACA choking out Russians. My only concern is he is all muscle and all but 1 of his fights have lasted a coiple of minutes and if Piechota does last does Veira gas out hard!? Piechota is pretty decent on the ground and has a black belt but the fact he was subbed in his last fight doesn't fill me with any hope for Piechota. Viera adds another Black Belt to his collection!
Barzola vs. Moffett
Enrique Barzola, DEC
Barzola high pace at high altitude and Moffett tendency to slow down after a round. I'm taking Barzola. My only concern is Moffett grabs his neck while he shoots and gets subbed.
Burns vs. Kunchenko
Alexey Kunchenko, TKO, R2
I do like Burns moving up to 170. But I think Kunchenko will outstrike and eventually hurt and finish Burns late, who is also taking this on short notice and carrying the extra weight. 1st UFC finish for Kunchenko and a move on up against a ranked opponent next.
Torres vs. Rodriguez
Tecia Torres, DEC
I would like to see Rodriguez win this 1 but I'm unsure she can stop the takedowns and clinch game oc Torres? Rodriguez is bigger and a much better striker both at range and especially in the clinch. I think this fight comes down to whether or not Rodriguez can keep Torres on the outside or maybe even hurt her with a few strikes to make Torres hesitant to close the distance and get the takedowns.
Paiva vs. Bontorin
Raulian Paiva, DEC
This should be a fun Flyweight scrap! Weirdly Bontorin is coming off a win in a fight he should've lost and Paiva is coming off a loss he should've won!! Bontorin is the better grappler and more powerful, Paiva better volume striker with better cardio. 50/50 fight here.
da Silva vs. Vargas
Alex da Silva, SUB, R1
It's a pity Fiziev got injured and had to.pull out this fight as that wouldve been much more interesting and competitive than this 1 will be
Viana vs. Macedo
Polyana Viana, SUB, R1
I have no clue who to pick here?! Viana has better BJJ but terrible striking! Macedo has better striking terrible grappling! Question is does Nacedo outstrike and catch Viana on her chin that she keeps straight up in the air or does Viana get the takedown and a sub? Or do we get 15 minutes of sloppy garbage!!!! That's probably it, 3 rounds of utter ****e! Who knows who wins! But on the plus side at least they're both nice to look at!!!
