Going with Israel by first round suplex KO

Then Maycee Barber gets on the mic and says how she made Israel look impressive

Crap sorry bud. I really didn't think that was going too far. I just dislike Barber very much after the Roxy incident.

Edit- I guess in hindsight that was obvious

Any time someone says, “upvote if you like..downvote for”. I downvoted no matter what was said. 

That said, I still love you free so I’ll make up the upvote somewhere else

Hope Diego pulls the upset somehow because I just want to see him get on the mic and call out McGregor on the spot

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 5 Perfect, 615 Points   |   Tied for 129th

Adesanya vs. Costa
Israel Adesanya, DEC
I'm literally 50/50 on this one. I can see and visualize how Izzy gets it done, and we all know how Costa gets the job done. I just see Costa trying to murder Izzy for 2 rounds before suffering the effects of a quickly draining gas tank, and then it's "The Last Stylebender" time to do work. That's just how I see it. Costa inside 2, or Izzy over 5. Maybe take him out in the championship rounds.

Dawodu vs. Tukhugov
Hakeem Dawodu, DEC
Idk. That 4lb weight miss changes things for me... Makes me think even more.

Sanchez vs. Matthews
Jake Matthews, DEC
Soak it up Jakey! Idk if you'll ever be a -725 favorite again!

Hughes vs. Espino
Juan Espino, SUB, R2
Awwwww man. I honestly forgot about Juan Espino but I'm extremely happy to see him back. And Hughes is a great comeback fight to see where he's at after almost 2 years away

Ibragimov vs. Marques
Khadis Ibragimov, TKO, R1
WHY IS IBRAGIMOV STILL IN THE UFC? Anyone????

@Brad idk if the UFC can afford to cut a guy like him right now haha he's clearly a yes man with this fight being booked 10 days ago. He seems to not care who It is he's fighting and its usually pretty entertaining even in losses. He seems like the perfect kinda guy to fill useless spots on a card in the Covid fight era. It almost seems like the UFC is throwing him a bone here for being a yes man. If he finds a way to lose this one I have to believe hes gone
