Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 550 Points   |   Tied for 1892nd

Usman vs. Masvidal
Kamaru Usman, DEC
masvidal is good,tough and I would pick him against most of the guys in 170 but the reason usman is the champ is that nobody can outwork him, so unless gamebred can ko/choke him- I don't see the belt leaving usman, now masvidal will say that usman play safe and all but listen, Usman is the champ and he know how to win rounds against aggressive butcher.

VanZant vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
vanzant shouldn't fight anymore, she already have so much other money makers beside fighting...which she is not even top 10,so I think she will retire soon

Tybura vs. Grishin
Marcin Tybura, DEC
Tybura should KO this guy but I think he will play safe and go with D

Zhumagulov vs. Paiva
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
IF paiva can KO -he win, If we go to D, this is Zhako day

Melo vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
another D, I pick rosa

Day vs. Grant
Davey Grant, DEC
soild starter, I hope we will see finish, I see close fight with D for grant

  • Masdival. Hes been playin mind games I think Usman is psychologically getting played. 20 lb still eating pizza lol. Dude is gonna surprise
  • Volkanovski
  • Yan
  • Rose
  • Ribas
  • Prochazka? 23KO/TKOs gotta count for something no?
  • Salikhov? R1 everything gets decided
  • Henry? Amirkhani got good grapples and decent sniper punches but dude gotta stamina of 9 year old girl. Henry grapples good, I think if he survives R1 hes gonna get it
  • Santos
  • Grishin? Lighter n faster.

@blackdoggman yeah I pick Melo over Rosa to lose her UFC contract. Athough, I wouldn't be surprised if Melo gets the W over Rose, she has fought better fighters (in my opinion)

Usman vs. Masvidal
Jorge Masvidal, TKO, R2
Kamaru Is gonna to the old fashion crotch sniff for 5 round and after 3 title fight main card boring the crowd to death but picking Masvidal because i don't want that to happen.On a side note how does Usman make 170 he bigger then Rashad 

Santos vs. Bogatov
Leonardo Santos, SUB, R2
Leonardo Santos is really underaterd because he fight like once every 2-3 year knockout power and even better jiu jitsu and sub GSP with a flying armbar. Unless he somehow old he probley win even though he fighting a undefent russian so could be anouther Khabib

Tybura vs. Grishin
Maxim Grishin, TKO, R2
Marcin Tybura is a bum so picking Grishin because he a russion aith a decent record and he beat volkov

Zhumagulov vs. Paiva
Raulian Paiva, TKO, R2
Paiva is one of the best 1-2 fighter in the UFC because he 2 losses was unlucky with home town decsion vs Kai Kara France and cut stopage in a close fight, And in his last fight staching De la Rosa even though Da La rosa is the worst flyweight he tough and no one else finish him

Usman vs. Masvidal
Kamaru Usman, DEC
Masvidal only has KO chance.

Volkanovski vs. Holloway II
Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
If Holloway only had zoom training then Volkanovski is wining easly

Yan vs. Aldo
Petr Yan, TKO, R2
Aldo impressed me agains Marlon but Yan is just way better then him. Aljamain vs Yan would determin the best bantamweight right now

Oezdemir vs. Procházka
Volkan Oezdemir, TKO, R2
Prochazka was one of the best fighers outside of ufc but Ozdemir is very good and I think people are underestimate him
