Israel Adesanya, DEC
Im still unsure of isreal's take down defence. Theres the chance that romero goes for a takedown heavy game plan, and idk if adesanya will be able to stop it. Excting!!

Yoel Romero, TKO, R2
Israel got hit a lot in his prior two fights and his face turns into daphne duck. I'm hesitant to pick him because Yoel is a different kind of animal. Yoel seemed aggressive against Costa and I think if he comes in aggressive vs Israel with a wrestle-heavy gameplan I think he can tire Israel and really lay it on him. I'm picking Yoel, but very hesitantly.

The safarov line is 1.5 juiced to -150 on under. I'm looking at over.
The only other line that struck me as interesting is the Madsen lined 2.5 -230/over.
The rest are typical not juiced to bad either way.

Israel Adesanya, DEC
Now anything can happen in a fight,but the lackadaisical approach of Yoel and his defense with that approach will leave him open to Stylebender's attacks. And the fakes of Stylebender will keep him guessing.
Zhang vs. Jędrzejczyk
Joanna Jędrzejczyk, DEC
Joanna is basically the worst matchup for Weili. Taller and longer, she will work behind her jab to set everything up. I think she's faster than Weili as well.

Isreal is better stricker then Romero.Only problem for Adesanya is Romero's wrestling background but I think Adesanya is well preparde for his takedowns and ground game
Magny vs. Li
Neil Magny, DEC

Winn vs. Meerschaert

Israel Adesanya, DEC
When i look at Adesanya i think of Jon Jones. And in Jones last fight against Reyes he looked beatable, its time for a new GOAT and i see that being the 18-0 Adesanya. Me personally i have never really been a fan of Yoel, and at 42 years of age i cant see him surviving the distance Adesanya will cause. He's the taller, longer reach and younger fighter and i see him remaining the champ.
Quiñones vs. O'Malley
Sean O'Malley, DEC
I don't like Quinones purely because of that stupid tash on his face. He got annilihated against Nathan Wood and has only ever beaten bums, Sean O'Malley is not a bum and i see him marking his return with a dominant victory over a quite frankly worse fighter.
Madsen vs. Hubbard
Mark O. Madsen, TKO, R2
At first i was 100% confident on Mark Madsen destroying Hubbard but the more i think about it the more i make myself think is it that one sided? Austin Hubbard trains with Gaethje and has a decent record, but i like Mark Madsen, the guys highlight reel is something else, he destroys people. i don't think this is as one sided as the percentages say however i will take Mark Madsen to add to his highlight reel.
Vieira vs. Safarov
Rodolfo Vieira, SUB, R1
Rodolfo Vieira is a biggggg middleweight. Safarov just doesn't do anything for me, his last fight with Negreamanu which fair enough he took his undefeated record however it was an extremely boring fight. If this fight stays standing then who knows Safarov could knock him out however for me the second this fight hits the floor its goodnight irene, theres not a chance in hell Safarov is escaping Vieira if this goes to the mat.
Winn vs. Meerschaert
Gerald Meerschaert, SUB, R2
i'm taking the experienced Meerschaert here. I don't like Deron Winn, i haven't been impressed with him, his first couple of fights in the UFC have been far from flattering. Granted he dominated Eric Spicely but he was hardly amazing in that fight. Winn highly relies on wrestling and if he tries taking Meerschaert down i can see Meerschaert getting a submission. If it stays standing all Meerschaert needs to do is use the height and reach advantage, create distance and let Winn go for the take down before choking him out in round 2.
Emmers vs. Chikadze
Jamall Emmers, DEC
Jamall Emmers has 5 round experience from LFA which goes a long way, the guy has stamina and has good experience. Chikadze has a very good kickboxing record however in MMA he has fought a load of bums. i see Jamall Emmers quite easily winning this.
