Uriah Hall, TKO, R3
Can't trust Souza's durability and conditioning at this point. He's going to have to deal with Uriah at long range if he can't maintain pressure.

Henry Cejudo, TKO, R5
Kinda expecting it to be similar to the Moraes fight. Cejudo walks through a barrage of punches and manages to wear his opponent down with solid knees to the body in the clinch.

Tony Ferguson, SUB, R5
Here is my Ferguson v Gaethje pick. I think Justin pressures Tony and drops him in 2 minutes. He also will be heavy on leg kicks trying to take out Tony’s legs. Round 2 Justin is landing heavy uppercuts and leg kicks from the outside. Round 3 Justin slows down but not a noticeable bit. Round 4 Tony drops Justin with a spinning elbow and the fight is taking a momentum shift. Round 5 Justin is completely gassed from Tony’s pressure and shots. Tony lands a huge elbow and a right hand up top, and Justin shoots and gets his first takedown in the UFC. Ferguson locks up a triangle choke and that’s all she wrote.
Cejudo vs. Cruz
Henry Cejudo, TKO, R4
My prediction is that Henry works on the legs early. Dom will have welts on his legs hindering his movement by round 4, and Henry takes him down and lands huge shots on top forcing the end of Dominick Cruz’s career.
N'Gannou vs. Rozenstruik
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R2
I honestly think Jarzinho takes this one, I don’t know why. He has better technuique and I think he will land the bomb before Francis does.
Stephens vs. Kattar
Calvin Kattar, DEC
Jeremy has a great chin if you just look at the Yair rematch. But he swings with reckless haymakers and is not the best striker I have seen. Kattar has slick boxing, and is a phenomenal prospect. Kattar will counter a shot Jeremy throws and he will drop him, but it takes a ton to get Jeremy Stephens out of there.
Hardy vs. De Castro
Greg Hardy, DEC
I hate Greg Hardy and I want Yorgan De Castro to knock him out. But for an unbiased prediction, I say Hardy keeps Yorgan at distance with his jab for 15 minutes and stays out of trouble. Greg is the better fighter and they both have about equal power.
Cerrone vs. Pettis II
Donald Cerrone, DEC
Fun fight and should replace Prince of beating women vs De Castro on the main card. Two experienced veterans of the game going at it. Both guys have faced and beat some of the best in MMA, and Donald has set records. I think Donald takes home a unanimous decision because I think he is a lot better NOW. Before Pettis was a lot better and even beat Cowboy. But it’s been years and I think Pettis has lost his spark putting on lackluster performances in the Wonderboy fight even though he got a comeback KO, vs Nate Diaz, and Carlos Diego Ferreira. I’m not saying Donald didn’t also look bad in his last fights, I’m just saying he looked better. Close one
Esparza vs. Waterson
Michelle Waterson, DEC
I expect Michelle to pin Carla against the fence and pepper her with knees and elbows in a forgettable 3 round duel.
Souza vs. Hall
Ronaldo Souza, DEC
Jacare will either pick apart Uriah for 3 rounds on the ground and in the clinch, or just go in and submit Hall. Obviously by my pick I say option 1.
Luque vs. Price
Vicente Luque, TKO, R1
Niko is a tough dude and I hope he wins. Hes skilled and flashy. But a focused Luque is nearly unstoppable. Luque will probably get a TKO in 4 minutes,
Spann vs. Alvey
Ryan Spann, TKO, R1
No wonder Spann is the biggest favorite on the card, what a mismatch.

Cejudo by cringe attack
