McGregor vs. Cerrone
Conor McGregor, TKO, R1
Cerrone is too stiff, too slow, he's stiff as a board McGregor will snap him in half. lol. But seriously, been watching some tape and Cerrone is extremely susceptible to counters and Conor is the best counter-striker in the UFC probably. He also keeps him left hand very low and McGregor has been seen practicing right boos, and they have been the cause of Cerrones downfall (literally) many times. He's also deteriorating with age. 6 KO losses in his pro MMA career (13 years) and 5 of them have occurred in the last 4 years... I think it will come down to the speed difference and I believe McGregors speed advantage will be very apparent during the fight.

McGregor vs. Cerrone
Conor McGregor, TKO, R2
i don't think it's mindgames in cowboy saying he won't wrestle, i think he really intends to go out on his shield here. body shots to lower the hands and a left to end it with a walk off. hoping to jinx it.

Holm vs. Pennington II
Holly Holm, DEC
i think holly dances for another forgettable decision.

Oleinik vs. Greene
Alexey Oleinik, SUB, R1
i'm picking boa fun, partially as a heart pick and partially because i think mo has trouble keeping the fight where he wants it.

Gadelha vs. Grasso
Alexa Grasso, DEC
on paper, i like claudia a lot better, but in terms of where they're at in their careers i think alexa could pull off a win. probably a close decision.

Pettis vs. Ferreira
Anthony Pettis, DEC
huge props to diego for derailing taisumov, but i really like pettis as an underdog here and i'm surprised to see a lot here agreeing. i think he can mix it up consistently and win scorecards. good for diego if he can win here though, big fights would await.

Barber vs. Modafferi
Roxanne Modafferi, DEC
screw it, i'm gonna go with roxy. she won't give up, she'll fight smart, and she's not easily finished. great fight, nobody else wanted maycee and roxy is down for whatever.

Fili vs. Yusuff
Sodiq Yusuff, DEC
i think fili could find success changing levels, but ultimately a 3 round fight with sodiq is gonna require someone else to bully him and not sure fili is that guy.

Haqparast vs. Dober
Nasrat Haqparast, DEC
agree with prevailing thought that nasrat can put the pace on drew. not sure he can finish him though.

Camur vs. Ledet
Aleksa Camur, TKO, R1
this fine, to me, feels like they're trying to build up camur. we know ledet has potential, but we also know that we can't rely on him fighting up to it, and i'm expecting him to never really pull the trigger before getting clipped.

Elliott vs. Askarov
Askar Askarov, SUB, R1
seems like more disciplined grapplers find a way to catch tim's neck and this feels like another one of those. hope they keep him around regardless.

Osbourne vs. Kelleher
Ode Osbourne, SUB, R2
yeah i'm gonna run with what feels like the obvious pick here and say kelleher leaves himself open for some shots before getting stuff on a td.

Mazo vs. Aldrich
JJ Aldrich, DEC
grindy type fight favors jj i think.

Pettis vs. Ferreira
Diego Ferreira, TKO, R2
This fight is close and should be closer odds that 3 to 1 as Ferreira never won angest top level competion and that all what pettis pretty much fought in the ufc, also Pettis has been looking good in his last 3-5 fights beside the nate one with him looking good fighing Wonderboy, Tony, Chiesa and maybe Porrier. But Ferreira is a pressure fighter and Pettis gives up in alot of fight and i could see him giving up like when he fought Dustin, Tony and Max. But Carlos ain't on those 3 level and at 3 to one odds i might put a **** it bet on pettis and maybe by finish

Mazo vs. Aldrich
Sabina Mazo, DEC
At first I wanted to choose Aldrich I liked 1 round in a fight with Barber. But then I began to study the fight with Mueller and was disappointed in Aldrich. Even Dobson in the fight with Mueller did more damage and strikes. Mazo took all 3 rounds in the battle with Dobson. Aldrich barely kicks in the stance, even when in a clinch. Aldrich has been in the UFC for 4 years now and constantly in one place

Camur vs. Ledet
Aleksa Camur, DEC
after a close battle against Azunna Anyanwu, I don’t want to see more Ledet in the UFC. He needs to participate in CFFC. But certainly not in the UFC. Camur is better prepared for this fight than we saw it. Contender Series

I also want to add, Justin Ledet met with Azunna Anyanwu who came out on short watch and won a very close fight. Initially, Ledet was supposed to date with Dmitriy Sosnovskiy
