Alexander Volkanovski, TKO, R4
Holloway is a Goat so im not going to count him out but I don't like how he playing COD all night and train on Zoom, And this is especially concerning because Volk shut him down for a clear 5-0 sweep clinic but also kinda close at the same time. If Max was ********ing this fight is winnable for Max but I had a felling Volk was a bad matchup for Max ever since he beat Aldo for some reason
VanZant vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, SUB, R3
Ribas should 100% win this fight but het being 10 to 1 is ******** becuase Paige is tough , upset happen all the time, Paige is dangerous throwing headkick and armbars. Putting money on her at real like at 7 in 1 but not confendent
Zaleski vs. Salikhov
Elizeu Zaleski, SUB, R1
Close fight if it stays standing but will probley lean Salikhov in a pure kickboxing fight, But Zaleski is the better grapler and I think he get the Sub like in his fight vs Milender
Day vs. Grant
Martin Day, DEC
Davey Grant is what U call in the wresling world a jobber who some how beat Chito, But Martin Day hasn't fought in a year and half because of Injury so that a blackflag but Jobber gonna job
Volken Vs Jiri
Swaping my pick to Jiri because I think there a reason JIri is fighting Volken and think Sean and Mick wants him in the top 5-10 and give him winable matchup

Jorge Masvidal, TKO, R3
A KO in the first 3 rounds is the only way I can see Masvidal finishing the show. Smart pick is Usman, but just as Gamebred has proven over his last three fights, you can't count him out.
07.07.2020 | 11:42 PM ET
I think same thing about Jiri fight and matchmakers approach being a bit of a tell. I've been making some cash money bets with him at the ****** Montana kiosk odds of +125.
I sense that Volkanovski is ready and I trust him as much as any fighter.

Kamaru Usman, DEC
マスヴィダルはテイクダウンを切って打撃で勝つか、うまくエスケープし、後半ラウンドで勝つしかありません。

Jorge Masvidal, TKO, R3
I'm not sure about this one... Usman is a great fighter, but Masvidal is a way better striker than Covington, who hurt Usman numerous time. He has good TDD and lost a very, very close battle ON THE GROUND vs Demian Maia a few years ago... So if it weren't on such short notice, I would pick Masvidal with confidence, but on a week's notice, I'm not so sure. Happy for Masvidal tho, I really thought his UFC days might be over.

Makwan Amirkhani, SUB, R1
Amirkhani is better on the ground and after they go on the ground he will choke Henry out
Santos vs. Bogatov
Leonardo Santos, DEC
Santos dosen't fight much but he beats good opponents and he beat better opponents the Bogatov. Even though Bogatov is M1 champion I think that Santos is too much for him
Tybura vs. Grishin
Maxim Grishin, TKO, R2
Coin flip
Zhumagulov vs. Paiva
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
Zhumagulov is great fighter and Pavia is a strong opponent for ufc debut but Zhumangulov will win
Day vs. Grant
Martin Day, DEC
Only reason why I am picking Day is because Grant lost to Stasiak who is not near ufc level so I am going with Day

Jiri may have holes but his power is savage. It's not the wasted energy of spinning dynamicism like other LHW we have seen from Brazil recently. Just a hook that will put anyone to sleep.

Is he really 20 lbs. overweight? Is he throwing that out there so we think he will gas early so he can bet on him self and shock the world? What is the Masvidal mind set?
We know about Usman, he will wrestle and has hands, to stand and bang..., BUT IF
Masvidal has a full camp under his belt and IF he is going to be has precises as Tony Atlas states, then I really think Masvidal can take this fight early with a single crack to the side of the head.

Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
Zhumagulov is great fighter and Pavia is a strong opponent for ufc debut but Zhumangulov will win"
I agree with this. Both gys have great stand up and have been able to keep their opponents at bay with vicious leg kicks. This fight will go the distance and Zhumagulov will win!
