Kamaru Usman, SUB, R5
Should be a war, Usman uses his wrestling to tire out Masvidal and finishes it by submission.

Kamaru Usman, SUB, R4
please don't upvote, i will not return it. fight is closer than odds make it seem. i'll get funky and say usman breaks him late, but won't at all be surprised if jorge pulls off the surprise win.
Volkanovski vs. Holloway II
Alexander Volkanovski, TKO, R3
first fight was decisive, maybe max was off or something, but alex is a problem right now and might have more power than even emmett.
Yan vs. Aldo
Petr Yan, DEC
if aldo still used all of his tools, i'd probably pick him, but i don't like his chances strictly boxing here.
Andrade vs. Namajunas II
Rose Namajunas, TKO, R2
rose was winning the first one, i'll run with that and say she catches andrade getting overaggressive.
VanZant vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
lines are way off for a fight that's pegged to go to decision. still picking ribas, but paige at +600 is silly.
Oezdemir vs. Procházka
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R1
i'm being unfair to volkan, i'm just excited for jiri's debut. one of the few interesting 205+ prospects that was out there.
Zaleski vs. Salikhov
Elizeu Zaleski, DEC
i guess people are thinking that li ko'd zaleski so salikhov should too, but i feel like li just has that freak burst chance in his fights. this will be more technical and i'll stick with zaleski due to better competition and more big show experience.
Amirkhani vs. Henry
Makwan Amirkhani, DEC
this is closer than i initially thought, but still gonna go with makwan to win scorecards.
Santos vs. Bogatov
Leonardo Santos, DEC
not sure what to make of bogatov, but also of santos and his inactivity. guess i'll stay with the herd on this one.
Tybura vs. Grishin
Maxim Grishin, TKO, R2
i do think tybura has been written off unfairly and should still beat lower tier guys, but grishin is a grizzled vet and should control the standup.
Zhumagulov vs. Paiva
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
already has better wins than paiva, plus the weight miss, i think zhalgas is a live dog.
Melo vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, TKO, R2
just gonna go with tko because missing by 5 pounds is a bad sign for preparation.
Day vs. Grant
Davey Grant, DEC
grant probably gets worked standing, but i'm hoping his wrestling can even things out.

Masvidal, KO R2
Hes been cooking up his secret sauce and hes gonna serve it with a 3-peice soda.
Volkanovski vs. Holloway II
Holloway by DEC
Doesn't look good for Max but gotta be a loyal fan. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Yan vs. Aldo
Petr Yan, KO R3
Aldo is good but Yan is a Siberian Gangsta. He's got an attitude and enough to take on Aldo's mean killer
instincts.
Andrade vs. Namajunas II
Rose Namajunas, DEC
Rose wins if shes got her fire back. She seemed kind of relieved last fight to have lost the belt. Hoping for the best.
VanZant vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
VanZant is all looks. Ribas takes this one.
Oezdemir vs. Procházka
Oezdemir DEC
Jiri is a UFC newbie and I dunno why in hell is he making his debut against a title contender like Oezdemir. Its gonna be a long night for Jiri unless he gets lucky and catches something big in the 1st rnd.
Zaleski vs. Salikhov
Elizeu Zaleski, DEC
Zaleski is good but Salikhov is a tough ass so a Dec win.
Amirkhani vs. Henry
Makwan Amirkhani, Sub R1
Makwan knows his cardio sucks and I am sure his been working on it like hell and will make sure he doesn't gas out, in which case his wrestling will be more than enough to take care of business. I think he comes into this in great shape.
Santos vs. Bogatov
Leonardo Santos, Sub R3
Going with Santos to get the late Sub. The Brazilians are always dangerous and have natural killer instincts.
Tybura vs. Grishin
Maxim Grishin, TKO, R1
I expect fireworks and Tybura getting caught. I love Heavyweight fights because Ko's are in the air, but it sucks when Heavyweights go the distance.
Zhumagulov vs. Paiva
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
Paiva missed weight and Zhumagulov has home advantage, but a close one anyhow.
Melo vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, SUB R3
Melo missed a lot of weight so Rosa is pissed.
Day vs. Grant
Davey Grant, DEC
Grants looks great and ready to rumble.

Jorge Masvidal, TKO, R4
Looks like our boy playing mind games. Psychologically Usman is getting played. I think Masdival catch him off guard 3rd round or 4th
Volkanovski vs. Holloway II
Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
Meh fight, I believe its gonna go as previous fight...
Yan vs. Aldo
Petr Yan, TKO, R2
1 punch, probably a upper cut from Yan as usual. He's a sniper. Waiting game, I hope Jose doesnt play his game.
Andrade vs. Namajunas II
Rose Namajunas, TKO, R3
Pay back time. After 2 rd Andrade was looking bad, I think its gonna be in 3 rd this time.
VanZant vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
We all know how this gonna go.
Oezdemir vs. Procházka
Volkan Oezdemir, TKO, R1
Done my homework on this one. Prochazka likes to chase just like Oezdemir but this is first debut in UFC. I think Oezdemir is more experienced but he should be careful Oezdemir got heavy punches 23TKO/KO
Zaleski vs. Salikhov
Muslim Salikhov, TKO, R2
R1 - R2 this one is a hard one... But ma money is on Salikhov.
Amirkhani vs. Henry
Makwan Amirkhani, SUB, R1
As I said he has 9 years old girls stamina. Henry is a good grappler. Amirkhani finishes fast or save his energy go in distance for decision.
Santos vs. Bogatov
Leonardo Santos, SUB, R1
Both grapplers but Santos in different level. I've watched lots of Bogatov wrestling, he is good. But doesnt punch that much when is on the ground.
Tybura vs. Grishin
Marcin Tybura, DEC
Yeah Tybura gonna take to the fence, maul him for 3 rounds this one gonna to decision. Grishin is a fkin sniper always going for chin. I hope Tybura knows to take game to fence.
Zhumagulov vs. Paiva
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
This guy is an animal. Stamina good, strikes good height not so much but damn hes like a bull keep pushing and pushing.
Melo vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
Yeah I dont think Vanessa in shape or frame to fight. Looked like she hasnt been training for real.
Day vs. Grant
Martin Day, DEC
This one gonna go to DEC.

Funny not 10 years ago they proved that all Natives were 99 percent Asian.

^ this. Most people are mutts anyway.
I don't think there's anything more ******** or pathetic than being 'proud' of your race, which is something nobody chooses or achieves in any way whatsoever. It makes as much sense as constructing your identity around your hair colour.
