Toughest pick for me were Till vs Gastelum and Thompson vs Luque. Main event is a 50/50 fight as well feeling pretty confident that Masvidal can beat Diaz he just won't be able to finish him.  I feel pretty confident about all my other picks. This is gonna be a good PPV I'm sure. Hope it lives up to the hype I'm excited.

Masvidal vs. Diaz
Jorge Masvidal, TKO, R4
Diaz gonna get dazzed, but Jorge will realize he cant finish this man. Nate will submit him with a triangle.

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 6 Perfect, 550 Points   |   Tied for 365th

Masvidal vs. Diaz
Nate Diaz, DEC
jorge can totally win this, i just think he's gonna give rounds away by letting nate walk forward on him.

Gastelum vs. Till
Kelvin Gastelum, DEC
feel like kelvin can mix it up and take it down when needed.

Thompson vs. Luque
Stephen Thompson, DEC
i wanna be wrong here since luque is far more exciting, but i feel like his aggression is exactly what wonderboy likes. at least if i'm right then maybe we can get the anti-bmf nice guy belt between stephen and maia.

Lewis vs. Ivanov
Derrick Lewis, DEC
i think ivanov is gonna have a hard time getting inside so he'll spend a lot of time circling and trying to avoid big shots without landing much of his own.

Lee vs. Gillespie
Gregor Gillespie, TKO, R2
nice step up for gillespie, should be an interesting match if it hits a scramble, but otherwise lee is gonna get pecked away at and maybe even taken down a bunch.

Anderson vs. Walker
Johnny Walker, TKO, R1
anderson is one of the few guys that kept this division going the past few years, but i'm having fun on the walker train so i'll let that pick for me.

Burgos vs. Amirkhani
Shane Burgos, DEC
feels like an odd step back for burgos, but i guess makwan is on a decent streak too. as long as shane comes in without the ponytail, i'll be rooting for him to stay technical and avoid the flash.

Tavares vs. Shahbazyan
Edmen Shahbazyan, TKO, R1
we've seen this kid is aggressive and brad doesn't do great when he can't tie guys up, i think edmen has the clinch advantage.

Arlovski vs. Rozenstruik
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R1
i always try to preach against the idea of andrei having a glass chin, and i think he can survive here and take later rounds, but i'm gonna pick against it and say his chin fails him tonight.

Chookagian vs. Maia
Katlyn Chookagian, DEC
girl needs to get her weight in check, but maia is a real threat if she can get to 5 round fights. i'm gonna pick chookagian to dance around in a 3 round fight though because it seems to take maia a bit to warm up.

Good vs. Rencountre
Chance Rencountre, DEC
initially felt like lyman could make waves in the ufc, but after the suspension he hasn't looked amazing so i'll take who i feel like is an overperformer thus far in chance.

Arce vs. Dawodu
Hakeem Dawodu, DEC
if arce can get td's, he can take this, but otherwise i think he's gonna be on the wrong end of the power equation.

Well the main is pretty much guaranteed violence, anyway. Arce vs Dawodu has the potential to be a barnburner.....very hard fight to pick.

Really getting amped for this card tonight. Such a deep card with great fights the entire time. I feel like this has been such a rarity for Zuffa these days when it happens I don't remember what it was like for a while.

Yes since the ESPN merger the UFC cards have been a little thin at times
