This is such a hard pick for me, Israel is such a gifted and skilled striker but Rob has that dog in him that looks hungry always.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 490 Points   |   200th Place

Riddell vs. Mullarkey
Brad Riddell
Russell also fights at Welterweight, where he has KOs, and Mullarkey also fights at Featherweight. Should be good size and power advantage for Riddell.

Does anyone know what that Zarah Fairn Dos Santos girls wrestling is like? I feel weird picking Megan Anderson after that last match of hers.

@fiddlesticks   I'll tell you 1 thing for sure bud,  Dos Santos has better a wrestling and ground game than Meeeee-gan!   I am genuinely puzzled that 90% are  picking her ! puzzled that 90% are picking her?!  Does nobody watch her fights?  
Also remember my rule!

This fight card looks pretty weak except maybe for two fights. Man I gotta find a way to stream this for free instead of buying it this time.

If Megan ever wins a fight in the ufc it'll be this one. Anderson's only hope is a stand up fight and dos Santos is gonna give her that. Watch. Anderson ko.

P.S. no Megan I'm not taking you back even if you win. We're throu.

Damn kassem is on the card? She’s barely able to fight her way out of a paper bag, and tuivasa? Hope there’s piss when he drinks out of some ransoms shoe.

I'm really surprised Adesanya has basically been bet all the way down to a pick 'em, at -115?!
I was happy to get Whittaker at -135, this seems like a pretty easy fight for him, given the murderer's row he's had to deal with lately. Adesanya barely got by Gastelum, I just think he's alittle overhyped at the moment.

I know Whittaker was not active in the recent years and struggle againts Romero in is last fight but to me, it seem that Adesanya is far from Romero level. I don't see how Adesanya could win this. I'm very please with the actual ods!
