Usman vs. Masvidal
Kamaru Usman, DEC
Forigve my lack of imagination. first I became optimistic and thought Masvidal would KO him. Then I saw Kamaru wrestle **** Jorge successfully. Now the best I can do is predict a SD at the end in favor of a slightly better Usman.

Prediction UPSETS

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 680 Points   |   Tied for 602nd

Paige VanZant vs Amanda Ribas
I predicting an amazing upset. PVZ will shock a lot of people and those who bet on the huge underdog .... will become rich overnight.  I love these fights because it make experts look stupid.  Just so you know... people do seek advice of others how to beat their opponents. And they train accordingly.

PVZ  TKO RD 2 - flying kick like what happened to Beth Rawlings


Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal   ( Street Judas)
I think Usman will be shocked. I already hear him building up an excuse of when they fight was called off in Vegas he pigged out on food at different restaurants in 24 hours.  Masvidal is ready on 6 day notice to pull his tricks out of the bag for another exciting KO/ TKO. 

Masvidal  new CHampion  - Rd1 - KO 


Last thing... Both PVZ and Ribas are cuties. Ribas has a weird goofy but funny accent and mannerisms. I like it because its different from most girls.

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 730 Points   |   Tied for 291st

Usman vs. Masvidal
Kamaru Usman, TKO, R3
I don't like Usman either but its time for Masvidal to understand that he is not a GOAT, not an elite fighter at all.

Volkanovski vs. Holloway II
Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
Same result, zoom workouts don't work.

Yan vs. Aldo
Petr Yan, TKO, R3
Aldo didn't win against Moraes in my opinion. This wasn't fight to make but I can't complain. Yan is always exciting.

Amirkhani vs. Henry
Makwan Amirkhani, SUB, R1
Amirkhani's grappling is on another level.

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 7 Perfect, 750 Points   |   Tied for 210th

Usman vs. Masvidal
Kamaru Usman, DEC
Would absolutely love Masvidal to come into this on 6 days notice and put Usman to sleep, however i can see Usman turning this into a boring fight to keep hold of the belt and wrestle him for the majority of the fight and if this happens it will be a simple victory for Usman as he is by far a much more physical specimen to Masvidal and will be to strong on the ground. I think this is how the fight will go but now how i hope it goes, i hope its a stand up war and Masvidal sparks him out.

Yan vs. Aldo
Petr Yan, DEC
Yan is legit. His boxing is so crisp and i can see him piecing Aldo up for a decision win. Aldo has not looked great as of late and i have never really liked him to be honest so its a comfortable Yan decision for me.

Oezdemir vs. Procházka
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R2
Going for an upset here, Oezdemir is legit and was definitely robbed in his decision loss to Reyes however i see an absolute animal in Prochazka who KO's people for fun. I just can't see this ending well for Oezdemir i can see him asleep on the floor with a monster in Prochazka stood over him.

Amirkhani vs. Henry
Makwan Amirkhani, DEC
Always go against a scottish man..

Santos vs. Bogatov
Roman Bogatov, DEC
Can't quite understand the percentages here.. 74% backing Santos.. granted his record is fantastic however his last 5 fights span across 5 years 9 months and he's 40 years old.. he's fighting a much younger undefeated fighter who is making his debut in the UFC and i fancy another upset here with Bogatov picking up a decision victory.

Tybura vs. Grishin
Marcin Tybura, DEC
Backing Tybura here purely on UFC experience.

Day vs. Grant
Martin Day, DEC
Despite being English and always backing the English fighter i just can't in this case.. i cannot back a man called Davey pulling that face in his picture, i can't bring myself to do it..

i mean if he made predictions and did decent, like above 60%,  i wouldn't have any issues and would respect him. But he brought this upon himself. Hes literally on a prediction website forum and doesn't make predictions. The beating will continue until morale improves!

that above 60% hit me in my soul. I seem to fluctuate with each card either right over 60 or just under.

So damn hyped for this event! Not only because of the badass card but also because it has been almost two weeks without some UFC fights.

I hate when the UFC leaves us 2 weeks without a card!

You definitely can (and they have) had fighters on standby. Some people are that desperate and would take the risk of not getting the fight.

I think its smart a lot of these guys are going out there to be cornermen and also put themselves in the front running for late replacements.
