I'm still flip-flopping my picks for Barcelos/Nurmagomedov annnd Alateng/Benoit. Anyone feel confident in either of those fights?

Yea. That’s a tough fight. Really is as much of a pick em fight as any

I wanna take Frankie even though I love them both. I just see his durability and speed  fadingwith his age growing. He got nothing left to prove. Robbed against Bendo but he’s now forever a brides maid. Huge Edgar guy so it hurts picking against him here.

Trust me. I feel reeeaally guilty picking the Zombie to win. It's one of those fights, I had to pick "who I think wins", but I'll be rooting for the other guy to actually win.

My question is if Ryan Benoit carries that power to bantamweight. I didn't really watch the UFC when he was fighting a lot, but according to DK he has a lot of knockdowns at 125 lbs.

Hard to say. I wouldn't argue with a 10-9 for either fighter.

Heili definitely took that round. Arguably up 2-0, most likely 1-1. Good fight.

Brad, it's 1 of several meanings. Obviously Alateng is literally a Mongol, being from Mongolia. 
But it has other meanings!

Anyway, another 1of my rules is ALWAYS back the Mongol! They are a Warrior race. Yhey have Genghis Khan is their blood!!!!
