Tony Ferguson, TKO, R2
Khabib is the better wrestler, Tony is the better grappler. Tony is almost too much better in the feet, this should be a hard fought doctors stoppage W for Tony via pounding elbow strikes from the back
Souza vs. Hall
Ronaldo Souza, SUB, R1
This is almost like the ufc just said ‘we need Jacare to win’ so they put him vs a top 15 gatekeeper who is worse in every attribute especially the grappling. Jacare will take him down, pepper Hall with shots, then get any submission of choice. Thinking of the submission is the hardest part about picking this fight, lol.
Andrade vs. Namajunas II
Rose Namajunas, DEC
Rose DOMINATED Jessica in their first outing, but due to a well set up fluke, that kept her from winning a lopsided decision. Rose is smart. She will adjust and earn herself a 30-26
Stephens vs. Kattar
Calvin Kattar, TKO, R2
Honestly a cracker of a fight. Kattar has sharper boxing though, and he doesn’t swing for the fences hoping something connects like Jeremy does. Calvin will win via TKO, knees and punches.
Ortega vs. Magomedsharipov
Brian Ortega, SUB, R3
I may be in the minority here, but I’m going with Ortega submission. Many people go the opposite, honestly could go either way.
Rothwell vs. Villante
Ben Rothwell, DEC
Ben’s grit and Villante’s stupid weight change will get Ben Rothwell the W.
Gane vs. Abdurakhimov
Ciryl Gane, SUB, R2
Wow what a fight. Gane all the way, garunteed he is champ by 2022
Eubanks vs. Moras

This is looking like the card of the year so far. Although i'm pulling for Ferguson, as I think a matchup between him and Mcgregor has fight of the year written all over it, I see Khabib taking it 48-47 on the scorecards in a wild fight. In the Co-main I have Souza by 2nd Round submission (RNC). I see the rematch between Rose and Andrade playing out similar as the first round did, Namajunas having the distinct advantage in the striking and being more aware of Jessica's strength in the clinch this time around.(30-27 Namajunas). I think Cattar puts Stephens away with a liver/body shot in the second round and continues to show us why is considered one of the top featherweights right now. Finally, Zabit and Ortega.This is a close fight. I'm leaning towards Zabit, I see him using his range well and mixing it up on the feet with Ortega being just a step behind on the exchanges. If this were a 5 round fight i would take Ortega by late stoppage(5th round Guillotine Choke), but since its a 3 rounder i'm going Magomedsharipov 29-28.

Tony Ferguson, Sub, R3
Tony will find that D'Arce. I believe that there are two people able to pose a threat to Khabib: Tony and Gaethje. But Tony should be the worst thing imaginable. He can strike, he can wrestle, he can grapple, he got cardio for days. He's creative and savvy enough to know what to do against a guy who relies on mat returns and breaking his opponent's will.
Souza vs. Hall
Hall for the upset by TKO in R2.
Andrade vs. Namajunas II
Rose Namajunas, DEC
She's the more technical fighter. Technique for the win.
Stephens vs. Kattar
Calvin Kattar, TKO, R2
Stephens is dangerous but still just a gatekeeper. Kattar is going to put him down and win via TKO in R2.
Ortega vs. Magomedsharipov
Magomedsharipov, DEC
Magomedsharipov will kick Ortega's ass on the feet and is too skilled to get submitted.
Rothwell vs. Villante
Ben Rothwell, DEC
The typical Hw slouch fest. I couldn't give less f**** but let's just go with Rothwell here.
Worthy vs. Azaitar
Worthy, TKO/KO, R2
Unpopular opinion but Azaitar is overrated. If he wins against Worthy get him some step up in competition and let's see what he's made of. Worthy should be able to catch him.
Makhachev vs. Hernandez
Makhachev by TKO in R2. He's too much for Hernandez for sure.
Gane vs. Abdurakhimov
Ciryl Gane, DEC
Gane lacks aggression. He looks like Joshua if he transitioned to MMA. Good technique but put him up against an aggressive technical striker. He will win a DEC but has to gane way more experience. See what I did there?
Eubanks vs. Moras
Sijara Eubanks, DEC
Another low level WMMA fight, what can I say? Eubanks by DEC sounds about right.
As for the rest of the current card: Muhammad via DEC, Roberson via DEC, Nurmagomedov via DEC.

Both guys impressed me, fotn possibility right here.
Makhachev vs. Hernandez
Islam Makhachev, SUB, R2
Alex is average on the feet, don’t know about the ground, has weird cardio, and doesn’t have resume. Islam is a phenomenal grappler, and is about the same on the feet. Islam via kimura

Magomed Ankalaev, TKO, R1
Magomed looked good before the **** stoppage
