Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 6 Perfect, 705 Points | Tied for 466th
Kamaru Usman, DEC
Goes the Distance. Watch Masvidal by early stoppage or usman by decision. Does Usman try to go toe to toe?
Volkanovski vs. Holloway II
Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
Holloway wins by Hawaiian brawling style. Does Max block leg kicks? Check Max output while live. Alex wins by decision.
Yan vs. Aldo
Petr Yan, TKO, R4
Fight to watch. Yan analyzes rd 1 Aldo live rd1&2. Yan wins by Rd 4. Watch Aldo for kicks. Yan Ko by the #'s
Andrade vs. Namajunas II
Jéssica Andrade, DEC
Can Rose stay at range? Andrade will eventually get close. Huge strength discrepancy. I think Andrade still wins. Unless by decision.
VanZant vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, TKO, R3
ends on the ground. Ribas has been knocked before by vyana. DNGTD RIBAS Finish.
Oezdemir vs. Procházka
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R2
Prochazka has a 10 fight streak.More dangerous thank Rejick Does not go the Distance!
Zaleski vs. Salikhov
Muslim Salikhov, DEC
Salikov could get the finish.
Amirkhani vs. Henry
Makwan Amirkhani, SUB, R2
Henry super tough. Makwan SBG gym. Henry Live in Rd 3.
Santos vs. Bogatov
Leonardo Santos, TKO, R3
bogatov good cardio and grappler. Santos great hands high level BJJ could lock up something..Santos has gas tank issues.
Tybura vs. Grishin
Maxim Grishin, TKO, R3
grishin much smaller. tybura better on ground. Maybe prop by Sub?
Zhumagulov vs. Paiva
Raulian Paiva, DEC
Zhuma is a live dog. good gas tank. Paiva wins by volume by loses on the ground in the late rounds.
Melo vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
melo's cankles misses weight again! Melo ok on ground, Vanessa wins by volume.
Day vs. Grant
Martin Day, DEC
longer it goes the higher the % Day wins. Has bad take down defense.

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 7 Perfect, 665 Points | Tied for 784th
José Aldo, TKO, R3
Maaaaan. I woke up with this feeling in my gut thinking about this fight. Could be because I smoked my medicinal herbs, watched Aldo vs. Moraes. Annnnnd fell asleep.
VanZant vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
I see no way PVZ wins this. Nooo way in hell.
Oezdemir vs. Procházka
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R2
I ******* LOVE THIS FIGHT! Sooo happy to finally see Procházka in the UFC. (Only took 30 fights). Honestly. Somebody is going to sleep early, before they even get home to bed tonight. I'm thinking about somewhere in R2. A fading fast Oezdemir flatlined on his face. How I see it.
Zaleski vs. Salikhov
Elizeu Zaleski, DEC
I want Zaleski dos Santos vs. Ponzinibbio. Geeeez.
Tybura vs. Grishin
Maxim Grishin, DEC
Remember when Tybura got into the UFC, he won 3 straight, the biggest of those 3 against Arlovski which vaulted Tybura into the rankings, annnnnd then he lost 4 of his next 5, only to finally right the ship against Sergey Spivak. And this fight is ripe for the taking for him too. I'm still flipflopping on this fight, to be honest. I like Max Grishin......... As a Lt. Heavyweight. I had to check my stats, because I couldn't believe my own, but he's ONLY lost 1x since 2011, and that was to top prospect Magomed Ankalaev. Over that span, Grishin is 18-1-2. Albeit a lotta people who you never heard of. But the thing I can't get past is the size difference. We're talking 30lbs. And 2" of reach. Idk.
Zhumagulov vs. Paiva
Raulian Paiva, DEC
Well. Straighter. Tighter. More tech strikes vs. Huuuge, loooping, bum-rushed haymakers. One almost always wins.

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 565 Points | Tied for 1697th
Kamaru Usman, DEC
Okay, let me say this straight. This is a bad matchup for Jorge if Usman brings back the wrestling. It's the other way around if usman wants to strike.
Volkanovski vs. Holloway II
Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
Holloway lost the 1st one with the leg kicks..... It all comes down to if he can adjust to those. Otherwise.....And still.
Yan vs. Aldo
Petr Yan, DEC
Man oh man. This is a fun one. Gonna lean towards Yan because I'm not 100% sold on Aldo performing at bantumweight.
Andrade vs. Namajunas II
Rose Namajunas, DEC
I saw Andrade's striking. If rose keeps it straight kickboxing, she'll win this.
VanZant vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
......Ribas. Enough said.
Oezdemir vs. Procházka
Jiří Procházka, DEC
People forget that volkan has that 1 round cardio. Let's see if Jiri can expose him.
Zaleski vs. Salikhov
Elizeu Zaleski, DEC
All zaleski has to do is wrestle. Don't dance with the king of kung fu. He'll hurt you.
Amirkhani vs. Henry
Danny Henry, DEC
This one is the hardest pick for me. I'll stick with henry. Mr. Finland has baaaad cardio.
Santos vs. Bogatov
Roman Bogatov, DEC
If Bogatov does what russians does best, he can win this. 40 year old santos is gonna be interesting.
Tybura vs. Grishin
Maxim Grishin, TKO, R1
I love Grishin here. Hopefully he doesn't blow it.
Zhumagulov vs. Paiva
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
I feel like people are sleeping with Zhalgas. We'll see.
Melo vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
Not really impressed with this matchup. Gonna slide with Rosa, but this will be close.
