Stipe Miocic, DEC
The key to who wins is whether DC gets away with eyepokes and if he can utilise his wrestling, he showed good wrestling advantage in the second fight but stipe also showed being able to have moments in the grappling, the problem is i don't believe Cormier has the stamina to wrestle Stipe for 5 rounds while Stipe does have the stamina to wrestle and strike with cormier. As well as this Cormier needs to be able to defend his body which will be hard considering his style heavily utilities hand fighting which is why his body is left open but is also essential for how he fights, Stipe could focus the body early and gas cormier out / finish him Cormier could use his grappling and try to submit / TKO Stipe as while Stipe has never been submitted the only high level grapplers he's faced is Werdum who didn't get a chance to use his grappling.
O'Malley vs. Vera
Sean O'Malley, DEC
good test for omally and see him winning fairly easily - striking O malley is better and while on paper Vera has the better grappling O'Malley was impressive at Quintlet but Vera is durable so i see it going to a decision
dos Santos vs. Rozenstruik
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R1
Rozenstruik is levels above Santos in striking and has better power
Dodson vs. Dvalishvili
John Dodson, TKO, R3
Dodson is famously elusive and Dvalishvili does not have the best standup and gets tired late in the fight
Miller vs. Pichel
Jim Miller, SUB, R1
50/50 depends on if Pichel can keep it standing
Souza vs. Yoder
Livinha Souza, DEC
borderline gimme for Souza
Burns vs. Pineda
Herbert Burns, SUB, R1
gimme fight for burns
Herrig vs. Jandiroba
Virna Jandiroba, DEC
Herrig is a good kick boxer and struggles against grappler Jandiroba seems to be a good grappler
Brown vs. Chavez
TJ Brown, SUB, R2
bad match up for Chavez who isn't a good grappler and doesn't have a lot of power though Brown does not have the best chin so could catch him
Daukaus vs. Porter
Parker Porter, SUB, R1
Daukas is a glass cannon who has fought no one of quality while Porter is more well rounded and has fought higher level competition (Lost to most but still) will not go to decision
Kamaka III vs. Kelley
Kai Kamaka III, DEC
Kamaka has only one finish in his career and his two losses were early on in his career , Kelly has been really inactive with 2 fights in the last 4 years, fight has decision all over it.

Кормье будет плакать.
О'Мэлли Дек
Вера - крутой парень, но у него недостаточно навыков для победы.
Яир KO3
Дос Сантос мог выйти из строя раньше. Он хуже Rosenstruc по яркости, функциональности и он сломан. Также я не верю, что грэпплинг поможет JDS в этом матче.
Merab DEC.
Может быть, все наоборот, так что Джон будет в этом матче. Но у грузина шансы больше.
Миллер SUB2.
Грегор «то, что я забыл в топ-15» сделал это, так что легенда сможет
Соуза DEC
Она лучше, чем Эшли.
Burns DEC
Пинеда неплохо выступал в PFL, хотя был doping. его борьба довольно хороша, этого достаточно, чтобы Гилбертт не закончил. На стенде он очень осторожный.
