Heili Alateng, DEC
I'm going with Alateng since Benoit has been off for 2 years and this is his first fight at bantamweight.

Frankie Edgar, DEC
i don't like this fight, feels dated, so i'm hedging my bet in protest. frankie dances and grinds his way inside where he strictly tries to wrestle and jung's re-ascent to 145 belt is delayed yet again.
Oezdemir vs. Rakić
Aleksandar Rakić, TKO, R2
rakic certainly looks the part of much-needed 205 contender, volkan is just keepin the gate.
Choi vs. Jourdain
Doo Ho Choi, TKO, R2
if choi's brain isn't too beat up from the past 2 mismanaged fights, should be all him.
Jung vs. Rodriguez
Mike Rodriguez, DEC
gettin weird here, slow wins his first decision. why not?
Park vs. Barriault
Jun Yong Park, TKO, R2
homefield advantage? idk, i just don't trust this budget nordine.
Kang vs. Liu
Kyung Ho Kang, DEC
expecting this one to be close. giving the edge to kang because of tougher competition.
Gane vs. Boser
Ciryl Gane, DEC
big step up for gane. was gonna pick sub, but 3 in a row seems unlikely.
Mokhtarian vs. Choi
Seung Woo Choi, TKO, R2
if suman can't get this to the ground, he's gonna be a punching bag it would seem.
Morales vs. Ma
Omar Morales, TKO, R1
alright, fine, i'll take the new dude who has literally 1 win against someone with more than 5 fights, but only because lil kim has been blasted twice in a row now.
Pantoja vs. Schnell
Alexandre Pantoja, TKO, R2
suddenly this division got interesting again now that cejudo ran from benavidez rematch. schnell is definitely dangerous, but i feel like he's always in danger of getting finished too and pantoja is more than capable.
Nurmagomedov vs. Barcelos
Raoni Barcelos, DEC
i know this dude has khabib's last name, but i remember thinking he lost to scoggins and i think barcelos has a well rounded enough skillset to do damage wherever the fight goes.
Lemos vs. Granger
Miranda Granger, DEC
big layoff for lemos.
Alateng vs. Benoit
Ryan Benoit, DEC
benoit isn't as bad as some think. unreliable sure, but heili is still just regional talent.

There is no reason for a comment here, keep this 9 words in mind. "Cyril Gane is the future of the heavyweight division"

Chan Sung Jung, TKO, R4
Maaaan. These picks make me feel badddd sometimes. Frankie is one of my all-time faves. But, this is a tough fight. Really. My buddy says he's got NOTHING to lose. If he loses, he'll get $250k for Xmas, and he continues cutting down to Bantamweight. I guess that could be true. But, I can't get past that feeling you get, in the pit of your stomach when you know you're outmatched in a fight. That's how I feel for Frankie.
Oezdemir vs. Rakić
Aleksandar Rakić, TKO, R2
Wow. I thought the majority would still be backing Öezdemir. Little surprised by that. Although, I NEVER thought about taking Volkan in this matchup. Rakiç is the next big thing at 205lbs. I've honestly believed that since his debut, and this is the EXACT FIGHT I wanted to see for Rakiç.
Choi vs. Jourdain
Doo Ho Choi, TKO, R2
This fight will be insane while it lasts... On paper, all day for Choi. But, I want to see how he comes back from 2 straight losses, which were both ****-king wars. And a looooong layoff
Jung vs. Rodriguez
Da Un Jung, DEC
Holy ******* ****. Apparently "Sloooow" Rodriguez wears a size 16 shoe. How does that ************ NOT trip over his giant sloth feet
Kang vs. Liu
Kyung Ho Kang, DEC
Both these guys are towards the larger end of the Bantamweight spectrum. Big, strong and physical. Both of them. I really grown to like Kang. I just wish he worked on his cardio a little bit. Or worked on controlling his pace . Either way, should be some fun scrambles.
Gane vs. Boser
Ciryl Gane, TKO, R1
I want to see Gane tested. He just destroys everything. Boser is one of those big, ugly durable guys. But from what I've seen, durability doesn't matter vs. Gane.
Morales vs. Ma
Omar Morales, TKO, R2
Maaaan. What Morales did to the highly touted Harvey Park.... Daaaamn.
Pantoja vs. Schnell
Alexandre Pantoja, DEC
I like how they placed this fight right after another barnburner. Maaaan Matt Schnell has looked fantastic. The way he switched from sub to sub to sub, was sooooo beautiful to watch. And I've counted him out, time after time, and I just keep getting burnt. But I keep picking against him. Annnd I'm gonna continue. I'm biased towards Pantoja. Again, another fave fighter in Pantoja.
Nurmagomedov vs. Barcelos
Said Nurmagomedov, DEC
FIGHT OF THE NIGHT..... That's all that's needed to be said.
Lemos vs. Granger
Miranda Granger, DEC
Yuuuuck!
