Henry Cejudo, SUB, R3
I predict Aldo will win the first few rounds, gas, get put on the ground, and get submitted. Just like the Marlon fight, but with a sub.
Nunes vs. Spencer
Amanda Nunes, TKO, R5
Ew, this co Main is like the corona virus, nobody wants it. I’d be surprised if Felica did anything at all to Nunes, but she has a rock hard chin, so it’ll make it to the 5th round

José Aldo, TKO, R4
I know Aldo don't really deserves his shot at the belt, but this is an interesting matchup. Moraes was destroying Cejudo's leg in round 1, so imagine what Aldo can do... And he always had a great TD defense. Can't wait.
Werdum vs. Oleinik
Fabrício Werdum, TKO, R2
Very intersting JJB matchup if the fight hits the ground, but I think Werdum will just kickbox Oleinik for an easy comeback win in the UFC.
Rua vs. Nogueira III
Maurício Rua, DEC
Waste of a fight. Shogun won the first 2 fights of this trilogy. Plus, I know both are clearly past their primes, but Shogun is still kinda relevant in the top 10 or 15, with quality wins over Tyson Pedro, Gian Villante and Corey Anderson, having lost just 1 in his last 6... A Quality top 10 gatekeeper fight would've been Rua vs Walker or Cirkunov. No disrespect to Lil Nog, I know he had a nice KO against Sam Alvey TWO YEARS AGO, but honestly at this point he should be retired...
Ivanov vs. Sakai
Augusto Sakai, DEC
This will be terrible heavyweight action with a split controversial decision.

Agreed about aldo, volcan. Undeserved shot? yes. Able to win? definitely. Only thing I disagree with though, is that I don't think Aldo will pepper the legs like he should, he hasn't been a leg kicker in a while. My theory is that his shin is so damaged from kicking **** for 10+ years that he cant risk shin on shin.

Betting on Aldo ain't dumb
Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 475 Points | Tied for 943rd
I wouldn't quite call him a favorite for this fight but any lines having him +250 or more are underestimating him.
People forget, he's got some of the best takedown defense ever and a long time BJJ blackbelt. He's also a better boxer than Henry and he's bigger.
Henry is a beast and one of the best wrestlers with near endless cardio, but I doubt he's going to ragdoll Aldo, and in the striking department i'd definitely give Aldo the advantage, especially if he utilizes his kicks, which for some reason he never does anymore.
What's everyone's thoughts? Or should I go **** myself?

I agree
Predictions: 1 of 8 Winners, 0 Perfect, 65 Points | Tied for 3501st
Sadly I just read an article saying hed fight him with only a week to train..
Then repeatedly question if he can make the weight could be bad translating.
That doesnt sound like aldo at all he may have gotten into "Jone's **** pills" :>. "Joe Rogan Quote"
If cejudo can starch aldo I'll be very surprised and then have to take the kobold serious.
