Yair doesn’t like to get hit hard, Jeremy does just that and I believe Jeremy will chop him with leg kicks.

Askarov vs. Moreno
Askar Askarov, SUB, R3
Askarov’s wrestling will be too much, I think he can get the finish but wont be suprised with a decision win.

Aldana vs. Melo
Irene Aldana, SUB, R2
Aldana has slick boxing I think she outboxes her and this fight ends in a grappling match (typical girl fight) and Aldana pulls off the sub.

Bravo vs. Peterson
Martín Bravo, DEC
Martin will push the pace and win by outboxing Stevenson.

Quiñones vs. Huachin
Jose Alberto Quiñones, DEC
Quinones wins this with his footwork and point fighting style.

Reyes vs. Nelson
Kyle Nelson, TKO, R2
I think Nelson will clip him and get the finish in the first two rounds.

Hill vs. Carnelossi
Angela Hill, DEC
Have a feeling Angela wins just cause experience.

Pettis vs. Nam
Sergio Pettis, DEC
Nam has scary power for a flyweight but I think Sergio is good enough to avoid all that and get the decision.

Moreira vs. Craig
Vinicius Moreira, SUB, R1
Have a weird feeling Moreira pulls off an arm triangle, not sure which round though.

Eubanks vs. Correia
Sijara Eubanks, DEC
Sijara beats her up the whole fight, wouldnt even be surprised if she gets a late finish.

Puelles vs. Mariano
Claudio Puelles, SUB, R2
Puelles with a second or third round sub.

Rodriguez vs. Stephens


Rodriguez vs. Stephens 


A lot of people are giving Yair a clear edge in this one and frankly I really can't understand why. 
  • Jeremy has fought by far the better competition over his career so far 
  • Also has the better wins so far 
  • He has arguably the more well rounded game
  • More dangerous in terms of that one shot knockout power
  • Is far more active than Rodriguez 
  • Has spent upwards of $30,000 to arrive in Mexico City early and get acclimated to the elevation

Not trying to hate on the kid but Yair's two biggest fight of his life so far have arguably been against Edgar & Korean Zombie. Edgar who just flat out mollywhopped him from start to finish (Stephens dropped a UD to Edgar as well but had a much better showing). And his fight with Korean Zombie where he got that knockout of the year (arguably the decade). Now I don't want to call it a fluke but if that didn't land Yair was losing that decision and how many times is he going to get a finish like that again?

Result: Jeremy Stephens Round 4 KO/TKO

U really picking bethe to win?!? She hasent won a figot in years. U pick bethe Cuz she lasted 50 seconds against ronda? Lol. Sijara wasn't in the ufc back then so of course she didn't fight ronda...  u also pick Polo reyes to win by submission?? Have u even seen him fight? I think he will win as well but not by submission. He's a brawler. He will win by tko. As for pettis vs Tyson nam I'm going with sergio by decision. Tyson nam is 35, old. Sergio may not be a ko artist but he's a better striker than tyson. Yes, he does have a suspect chin though. Bravo vs Peterson are not high level mma. Peterson is a brawler.

Esparza Vs Grasso

Apart from the remote but yet statistically possible outcome that Alexa's clothing spontaneously disintegrates in North/South...



Hill vs Carnelossi


Carnelossi KO/TKO R2.

You know, the only thing worse than a nuclear munter is a nuclear munter with a pretty name. I haven't been so disappointed since buying a 'deluxe' box mac and cheese only to find upon opening it the sauce came in a can and I could have re-soled a shoe with it. Props to her parents for the effort, but this really isn't  a rose by another name type deal---Carnelossi looks like The Thing in drag standing 19th in a line of 20 for the bathroom needing to deliver an insistent ablution which weighs roughly as much as a Canadian state record salmon. All the comeliness of a donkey having a miscarriage in a hailstorm. Truly a disturbingly simian creature that makes one wonder how their are still people who do not believe that Humans and Chimpanzees share a common ancestor. She's ******* it.


Eubanks vs Corriera


Eubanks, dec.


Surely at this point Bethe's tenure on the payroll isn't justified. Jesus, she's terrible. 5 years ago she was marching forward swinging like the obese apoplectic daughter of a linen  heiress after having punched the help in the ****** and having been sent to be early as a result of being refused a 5th helping of pudding, and she's still doing that in 2019. Eubanks should easily handle her, at least 30-27 and possibly by late finish.

Rodriguez vs Stephens

Rodriguez, KO/TKO R4.


Yair was able to survive The Zombie, keep him at range and ultimately get one of the most memorable finishes of all time. Is Stephens better than Chang? Nope. Not at anything. He's got a puncher's chance here over three rounds, and that's about it. I think Yair busts him up over three and gets him out of there the 4th.


Moriera vs The Bear Jew

Vinicius can throw, but he's about as durable as a macaroon. Seriously absolutely no chin whatsoever. This feels like an apology bout gifted to Craig for having been fed to too many up and coming murderers. I think he hurts him, takes him down, and hits a sub.


This card:
