Гунар Белая Горила Нельсон,
безумный стиль, мотивация полные карманы.
Crybaby Burns не сможет вытащить этот уровень борьбы.
Даже несмотря на его национальность.
Впереди у Нельсона сумасшедшие бои.
Он не имеет права сливаться.

Лэндо с такой лёгкостью разбирал Фергюсона,
что начал пренебрегать защитой.
Надеюсь, что работа тренеров принесет свои плоды.
Обязан одержать уверенную победу.
Я надеюсь, что Марк не намерен удерживать своего противника на земле.

Macy Chiasson, TKO, R2
its always tough to pick a finish in women's MMA but I see Chiasson doing what other top fighters have done vs. Lansberg. So long as there is no issues making weight. Chiasson wins via ground and pound in the 2nd.

Jack Hermansson, TKO, R3
not sold on cannonier as a contender, feels like this is more of a keep warm fight for jack while he waits for rob/izzy to play out.
Madsen vs. Belluardo
Mark O. Madsen, SUB, R2
weird co-main, even for a denmark card. clearly looks like a feeding so i'll go with that.
Nelson vs. Burns
Gilbert Burns, DEC
the current community split (60/40 favor of gunnar) is what i expected from the oddsmakers, but they got burns as a favorite. i guess they agree with the idea that burns can neutralize whatever gunnar may attempt on the ground if he doesn't just box him up.
Cutelaba vs. Rountree
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R2
interested to know what the lines opened at because i expected khalil to be an underdog here. hopefully it's fireworks early. khalil has been put out before and i think ion is a lot slicker than he's getting credit for.
St. Preux vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R2
osp is falling off and i expect that to continue here. he fights anyone though so i hope they keep him around.
Oliveira vs. Dalby
Alex Oliveira, DEC
big cowboy fan, maybe even more than regular cowboy. could be a fun war if dalby returns fire but otherwise i see alex pushing his pace the whole time.
Amedovski vs. Phillips
Alen Amedovski, DEC
coin flip in my mind, i'm expecting two guys looking for ko's and getting tired. i'll go with alen because losing to jotko isn't that bad.
Di Chirico vs. Muradov
Makhmud Muradov, TKO, R2
feeling like this will be the fight that sends alessio over to bellator.
Bahadurzada vs. Naurdiev
Siyar Bahadurzada, DEC
i really wanna pick siyar so i'm going to even though ismail is one to watch. i'll say he lands the harder punches early and forces naurdiev to fight backwards.
Chikadze vs. Davis
Brandon Davis, SUB, R2
if giga doesn't finish early then he's gonna get tired and davis is gonna finish him. that's my pick.
Chiasson vs. Länsberg
Macy Chiasson, SUB, R2
i like how they're handling macy thus far, lina is an appropriate test for this stage. it'll be interesting to see how she hangs standing with lina, ultimately expecting macy to get inside, find a td, and take the back for the rnc.
Diakiese vs. Vannata
Marc Diakiese, DEC
who knows with this one. i'm gonna pick against lando because he doesn't do enough.
Hernandez vs. Shore
Jack Shore, DEC
this card is a lot of question marks for me so i'm gonna try not to overthink. nohelin looked really decent on late notice, but i think they want jack to win.

Chiasson is pretty overrated and i think the Elbow queen with throw helbows and finish with Rear naked choke

****iese suck and vannata beat el cucuy but the dam ref made the fight last to long

Hernandez is good and im not shore if Jack will win, so im going for the underdog

Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R2
OSP gassed so bad against Krylov it is hard to ever trust him again. This fight looks like it is made for Oleksiejczuk to put a name on his resume. I give it until the 2nd round when OSP gasses and then gets starched.

Gilbert Burns, DEC
Burns steps in on short notice trying to put himself in the mix at 170 and he has looked good at the new weight class. This was a match to get Nelson a win now he may not get that win vs the new opponent. I do think this goes the distance and Burns get it on the scorecards likely a 29-28 on all 3 cards. It will be a close call but Burns has seemed to edge those fights out where Nelson has not. So maybe to get better odds parlay Burns to the over and cross your fingers he gets the decision. I see value playing it that way

Khalil Rountree, DEC
A good fight on paper that should deliver in the cage. Rountree has looked like an improving fighter lately while Cutelaba is what he is at this point. He is on the card due to being a European fighter however this match seems to be a test for Rountree by the UFC to see if the can get behind him. If this stays at kickboxing range Rountree will win going away. Cutelaba needs to make this an ugly fight which he can do for maybe a round or so after that he could be in trouble. So its survive the early onslaught if you are Rountree then settle in and dish out punishment. Cutelaba is durable so this very well goes the distance. If Cutelaba wins he has to connect early. Pick will be Rountree by decision.

Jack Hermansson, SUB, R3
Hermansson has great footwork and will dance around the cage and land takedowns when he needs them. I think he ground and pounds Cannonier into giving up his back and subbing him in the 3rd.
Madsen vs. Belluardo
Mark O. Madsen, TKO, R3
Madsen by 30-25 domination, or by ground and pound. I can see Belluardo wanting a way out of this one by the 3rd and tapping due to strikes.
Nelson vs. Burns
Gilbert Burns, TKO, R1
Burns isn't submitting Nelson, and Nelson isn't submitting Gilbert. To be honest I see Burns putting Nelson to sleep like Ponzinibbio did in the first round.
Cutelaba vs. Rountree
Khalil Rountree, DEC
I'm torn on this fight, but I can see Khalil coming in with a smart game plan and avoiding the big shots, takedowns, and chopping at the legs to take away Ion's power. Khalil by 30-27 decision.
St. Preux vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R2
OSP looked terrible against Krylov, so I'll go with the young hungry lion that's looked great in his UFC tenure. Oleksiejczuk by early rd 2 KO
Oliveira vs. Dalby
Alex Oliveira, DEC
Fun fight, Oliveira should take this, but I can see Dalby making it sloppy and winning a split. Heart says Dalby, brain says Oliveira.
Amedovski vs. Phillips
John Phillips, DEC
Both fighters will land early and respect each other's power. I can see this being a low output snoozer with the crowd getting restless, Amedovski trying to land late round takedowns to secure the rounds.
Di Chirico vs. Muradov
Makhmud Muradov, TKO, R2
Alessio has never been TKO'd, but I can see Muradov being aggressive and getting on top on the ground. I'll follow the hype train and go ground and pound stoppage late round 2.
Bahadurzada vs. Naurdiev
Siyar Bahadurzada, DEC
Ismail got taken down a lot by Prazeres, but his size alone resulted in a lot of reversals. Recountre exposed his takedown defense and I can see Bahadurzada slowing him down with takedowns and being "heavy". I can even see a late tko by Bahadurzada, but I'll go sloppy decision.
Chikadze vs. Davis
Brandon Davis, SUB, R3
Brandon Davis is underrated and tough. Davis grinds Giga until he gets tired and takes his back, early round 3 submission
Chiasson vs. Länsberg
Macy Chiasson, TKO, R2
Lansberg is underrated, but the Chiasson Train is going to steam roll her. Early round 2 TKO
Diakiese vs. Vannata
Marc Diakiese, DEC
Fun fight, but I see Diakiese landing the bigger shots and winning a 29-28 decision. ****, this might even be a split decision.
Hernandez vs. Shore
Jack Shore, SUB, R1
5 of Jack's submission wins have come from rear-naked choke and Nohelin's two submission losses are by rear-naked choke. I think Shore is aggressive with the takedowns early and takes his back. Late round 1 submission

Nelson vs. Burns
Gunnar Nelson, SUB, R3
Tight fight but Gunnars ability to rally combined with Burns gas tank led me to this pick
Cutelaba vs. Rountree
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R1
Literally flip a coin, mine landed on the Moldovan who is due a win
St. Preux vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R1

Oliveira vs. Dalby
Nicolas Dalby, TKO, R3
Risky pick here but similar to the Nelson fight I think Cowboys gas and be fact he does weird ****, might lead to late rally

Odd to see this fight buried so deep but I do like Diakese here, I think we’ve seen Landos best

Everyone tells me this kid can sub people so I’ll take their words for it
