Roto, I hope you weren't calling me a moron there. I never claimed Malki said anything about the Max Holloway situation.
Mailki tweeted a wierd face and people were already reading into it that the Masvidal fight was off. I was making a joke

Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 530 Points | Tied for 2088th

Yan vs. Aldo
Petr Yan, TKO, R3
I think Aldo gonna look good for the entire fight until he get starch because Yan fight with Faber was close until a certain point where he smiles and cracks him and changes the fight. And the Rivera fight he wouldn't of won unless for the knockdown problely. Aldo Hasn't faded it just that a few fighter cought up to him as he only loss are to champs or robbery to Marlon so he has a decent chance and i would think about picking Aldo if it wasn't a title fight because long reigning champ dont win back title

Andrade vs. Namajunas II
Jéssica Andrade, TKO, R3
Don't get why so many people are picking Rose because Andrade has that Scissors strength in her and will Ko her late. Rose was getting tired and getting a leg chop in the 2nd round but people didn't notice that before the Ko and only cherypick the first round so i think Andrade will find the opening or win the decsion because she figerd Rose out

Oezdemir vs. Procházka
Volkan Oezdemir, TKO, R2
Volkan is a really good fighter and his last 5 fight and he should of beat Reyes who should of beat Jones so using MMA math Volken got robeb agest Jones making him the derserving goat. But in all honesly Ufc must be high on Jiri to give him this fight so im tempeted to pick him but Volkan is underated

Amirkhani vs. Henry
Makwan Amirkhani, SUB, R2
I Hate Makwan because he look like a smug **** and think he better then all of us and that why i enjoy the Burgos fight but I have to Ament he a good fighter and Danny Henry ain't good

Usman vs Masvidal

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 580 Points | Tied for 1538th

Does anyone know if masvidal has been training? I hope he has...this is such a big fight for him, he can either become a huge huge huge star and go on to make loads of money or he can derail his hype train and probably never get a title shot again.

Masvidal has been training all through this lockdown. Now, of course, there is a big difference between training to stay in shape and training for a World Championship!!! I do think short notice won't affect Masvidal too much, forget all the BMF ****, he is definitely a guy who will be ready to fight at any time. Of course Usman will be a big favourite here but by no means will this be a walk over. Masvidal is about as well rounded a fighter there is and with his new style of landing shots to do damage instead of to look slick he has become a dangerous striker. I am glad this fight is happening, this is the real Welterweight title fight, as much as I respect what Burns has done over the past year, 6 months especially, having Burns jump straight into no.1 contender for beating Woodley wasn't right.
Should be a real good fight!

UFC official site is not a credible source lol fighters can be pulled 2 weeks early and they consistently show them up until fight night. its one of the least up to date MMA sites out there
