i know a lot about Autism, often High functioning Autism makes the appearance of higher intelligence. The fixations and obsessiveness and accumulation of knowledge and information often gives the appearance but not necessarily higher intelligence. When you have a individual with a higher intelligence and HFA, and often a strong motivation to learn and succeed. This is where the best doctors, engineers and some of the most intelligent people in the world come from. Often debated about Einstein and Tesla. Sometimes with HFA, and average to lower intelligence, and lazy personality. You just have a fat guy collecting baseball cards. HFA is more a behavioral trait and way to process and learn information, that can be harnessed and used like any tool from the garage. Like most autism spectrum disorders, example Asperger, there is positive and negative to the disorder, which combined with the intellect of the individual, makes some really interesting, intelligent or just weird people. Also the outside the box thinking makes great artist in all fields. Give the mind a unique advantage in processing the world differently. Learning more everyday. Also hated English : )

Predictions: 10 of 15 Winners, 5 Perfect, 665 Points   |   Tied for 1624th

Whittaker vs. Till
Darren Till, DEC
SWEET CAROLINE, WHO'S DOUBTING TILL NOW? WHO'S DOUBTING HIM NOW? SWEEEET CAROLINE

Rua vs. Nogueira III
Maurício Rua, TKO, R1
Probably the last fight for both these guys, i fancy Rua taking this again via KO.

Werdum vs. Gustafsson
Alexander Gustafsson, TKO, R1
Werdum looked absolutely horrendous against Oleinik and Oleinik is ****. He looked old, fat and washed up. Gustafsson gave Jones a good fight and has fought the best of the best.. i see him absolutely destroying Werdum in the first round to end Werdums career.

Esparza vs. Rodriguez
Marina Rodriguez, DEC
don't give a ****.. will be taking a 15 minute nap during this fight.. that or busting a quick wank before the good fights start.

Craig vs. Antigulov
Paul Craig, SUB, R2
I see Craig using his big height and reach advantage wisely here before taking him down and choking the russian clown out.

Oliveira vs. Sobotta
Alex Oliveira, DEC
Sobotta looks like he should be asking people for some spare change down an alley way.. i fancy the cowboy to pick up an easy decision victory against the German.

Chimaev vs. McKee
Khamzat Chimaev, SUB, R2
Rhys Mckee is legit.. so is Chimaev.. this will be a good fight but i fancy Chimaev after his impressive debut last week.

Trinaldo vs. Herbert
Jai Herbert, DEC
Trinaldo doesn't really beat anyone that has anything about them... and he's 41 now.. i see the black country banger being more hungry for the win in his UFC debut.

Dalby vs. Ronson
Nicolas Dalby, DEC
Just look at Jesse Ronsons picture.. i don't need to say anymore, he will lose this fight by unanimous decision.

Collier vs. Aspinall
Tom Aspinall, TKO, R1
Collier is a light heavyweight.. he is going up in weight to fight a big guy in Aspinall, i think he will regret that decision when he gets knocked the **** out by the big brit.

Evloev vs. Grundy
Movsar Evloev, DEC
Think this will be closer than the percentages suggest, Grundy is a good fighter and i don't like going against English fighters however i've got to go with the undefeated Russian for this one.

Pessoa vs. Boser
Tanner Boser, DEC
Boser has looked good in his first few UFC fights, going the distance with Gane is an achievement in itself.

Correia vs. Kianzad
Pannie Kianzad, DEC
Part of me hopes Correia wins to see her do her post fight celebratory dutty wine

Emeev vs. Stolze
Ramazan Emeev, DEC
UFC experience to have an impact here

Wood vs. Castañeda
Nathaniel Wood, SUB, R1
Nathan Wood to bounce back in this one.

Whittaker vs. Till
Robert Whittaker, DEC
I love both men and do not want either them to lose. I hope Robert isn't washed up after his wars with Romero and that the title fight was a bad night for him.

Rua vs. Nogueira III
Maurício Rua, TKO, R1
boo........

Werdum vs. Gustafsson
Alexander Gustafsson, DEC
ehhh....

Craig vs. Antigulov
Paul Craig, SUB, R3

I'm really thinking about the damage Whittaker has taken in his career at such a young age. Both the Yoel fights were very taxing, and he took much more damage in the second fight. Israel pretty much had him out in one round, and then the damage he took in the next. Till has suffered the brutal loss vs. Masvidal, but even Masvidal said himself Till hits very hard. I don't think he has the best boxing, and I'm not sure where he's at as a fighter but watching the fight vs. Kelvin kind of had me worried.

It's definitely a concern. But the more I think about it, the more I think it's less of a concern against a guy like Till. Till does hit hard, but he doesn't have one-shot life-ending power, and he's definitely nowhere near as slick as someone like Adesanya. Whittaker will be in danger in space, but unless he goes full ****** again like he did against Izzy, this fight will not be taking place there. I have no doubt that Whittaker can dump Till. None whatsoever. There are other mitigating factors, foremost that Till also has to worry about Whittaker's power. He's going to fight him like he fought Gastelum; he's going to try trotting around the cage peppering at range, occasionally stepping in to throw a short elbow or left straight. This is going to be hard to use as a winning formula against Rob who has very fast hands, is very good at catching people coming in, and is very good at cutting off the cage/pressuring. He won't let Till off the hook they way Gas did.

Basically, I think Whittaker should win this fight 8/10 times assuming he isn't completely shot.

Making me think even more about the fight @fish

Good post 

I may be relying on the too much damage theory for Whittaker.
