Holland vs. Rodriguez
Kevin Holland, TKO, R2
Rodriguez seems like a pretty good boxer, but Holland's length, explosiveness and size difference are likely going to be too much for him.

Woodley v Burns
Burns, DEC

If this was a prime Woodley, hell if this was a Woodley from a couple years ago, Burns would be getting slept. He had explosive power, excellent wrestling, and usually a grade A+ gameplan (He basically designed the Maia strategy followed by Usman and Covington). And, that Till beatdown earned me a buck. 
I'm not really basing this on the Usman beatdown. I picked Usman in that because he's just the best MMA wrestler outside Dagastan. But, 38 is old af and he's doing his BS music thing (so hard to admit to being a fan after he released his music...The 2nd hand humiliation...). 

This may be a "sadness hedge", but thinking Burns. Might change to Woodley if he looks mentally there in lead-up interview. 

Sakai v Ivanov
Ivanov, DEC

How is this a co-main? They should really just take the best fights from this card to shore up the UFC250. That thing needs help.
Anyway, I see Sakai as a more cautious/intelligent Tuivasa, but not as athletic. Blagoy may be plodding, but he's got super fast counters. Blag probably has better cardio, and should outlast him. He's also faced better competition, and beaten better guys (Sakai should have lost that decision to Arlovski).

@Letwei I agree, i was a little shocked less people are picking Ivanov over Sakai. I think Ivanov will pull out the win, he has fought much better competition and fought well, has a great Sambo background, and seems the better fighter.

@Xconchris I agree that Ivanov will win. But the judges can sue him. If you recall the previous match. Where sued Angela Hill, Edson Barboza, Marlon Vera. It’s as if the UFC was created to launder money.

Woodley vs. Burns
Gilbert Burns, DEC
Gilbert gets him to the ground and dominates in Jiu JItsu. I have no idea why I picked Burns.

Ivanov vs. Sakai
Blagoy Ivanov, DEC
Blagoy hugs AUuusto on the way to victory

Holland vs. Rodriguez
Kevin Holland, DEC
Im high on Holland. A couple kicks and straight punches. Plus if they go to the ground Holland wins the Jiu JItsu.

Roberts vs. Weaver
Roosevelt Roberts, TKO, R3
Weaver is all hype. Straight cross from Robert to end Brok.

Dern vs. Cifers
Mackenzie Dern, DEC
Dern is big and talented grappler. Cifers is small and lacks power.

Chookagian vs. Shevchenko
Katlyn Chookagian, DEC
Chookagian is good against mid level talent. She will dominate this fight.

Quarantillo vs. Carlyle
Spike Carlyle, TKO, R2
Im high on Carlyle. Devastating KO by Spike. He's uber talented.

Hill vs. Abreu
Jamahal Hill, DEC
Klidson may steal it and maybe Hill is hype. But I see Hill punching out Klidson and dominating the stand up.

Elliott vs. Royval
Brandon Royval, DEC
Elliot is old and kinda sucks. Never saw Royval but I'm gonna pick em.

Kenney vs. Smolka
Casey Kenney, DEC
Kenney looked great vs Merab. He can do everything well. He will eat a ****tier fighter in Smolka.

Gutierrez vs. Morales
Chris Gutierrez, TKO, R3
Never saw either of them. Gutierrez has a better record and he works out in Colorado...and stronger MMA scene than Morles in Ontario.

Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 2303rd

Woodley vs. Burns
Tyron Woodley, TKO, R1
I'm edging T-Wood here. To be honest I'm unsure how he gets it done, but could see his early power and speed coming off.

Ivanov vs. Sakai
Blagoy Ivanov, TKO, R3
Blagoy may be too much for Augusto currently. Really smart fighter, Augusto's lack of a gas tank could come to be the deciding factor in the later rounds.

Holland vs. Rodriguez
Kevin Holland, DEC
D-Rod is tough opponent, but I think Holland is better everywhere, and the range will be vital.

Roberts vs. Weaver
Roosevelt Roberts, DEC
What a fight! I have Roberts, but Brok is super tough and could go either way.

Dern vs. Cifers
Mackenzie Dern, SUB, R1
Mackenzie much bigger and has the ground game to challenge anybody. Hope she can make weight.

Chookagian vs. Shevchenko
Antonina Shevchenko, DEC
Really not sure on this one. I think Antonina's kickboxing may be the difference, but then again I thought the same for the Roxanne fight...

Quarantillo vs. Carlyle
Spike Carlyle, TKO, R2
Close fight, but I was so impressed with Spike the last time that I have to pick him. He might just be too physical for BIlly. FOTN contender

Hill vs. Abreu
Klidson Abreu, SUB, R1
So again, another which could go either way. This will be the judge of whether Jamahal is ready for the big fights yet. I ultimately think the vets submission game may prove a decisive factor, and see a submission win.

Elliott vs. Royval
Tim Elliott, DEC
SUPPPPPPPPER fun fight. Should be on the main. My other FOTN contender. Elliott's experience could prove to be the difference and I like him to win this one by decision.

Kenney vs. Smolka
Casey Kenney, TKO, R3
Casey. That's my pick.

Gutierrez vs. Morales
Chris Gutierrez, DEC
Super close but lets pick Chris.
