Frankie Edgar, DEC
Frankie's TKO losses indicates he can't out-brawl Munhoz, but it doesn't mean he can't out-fight him.

Frankie Edgar, DEC
I love Frankie. He's my absolute favorite fighter of all time, I won't pick against him. Dudes one of the last real guys on the roster who hasn't gone coocoo for cocoa puffs yet (looking at you Diego). If he wins I kind of want to see a dual retirement fight between him and Dominick Cruz.
St. Preux vs. Menifield
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R1
Man OSP is a weird dude to do tape on, he either seems super outclassed or he looks like a real top 15. Granted he's fought some of the best at LH, but his recent attempt to move up to HW makes me think he's kind of taking the slow painful route to retirement. I have absolutely 0 confidence in Menifield, but this is literally just me picking who I have less confidence in at this point.
Rodriguez vs. Prachnio
Mike Rodriguez, TKO, R3
Both of these guys have very questionable losses. I'll go with Rodriguez as his make me less nervous and I know Dana likes to feed his contender guys easy wins until they make it into the rankings. The only real question I have is, how was Prachnio fighting at 185 in one, but decided that 205 would be a good division for him in the UFC???
Agapova vs. Dobson
Mariya Agapova, DEC
smh
Sato vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, TKO, R2
Part of me that misses the Sakuraba era has always wanted a strong Japanese standout to emerge in the UFC, but I don't think it's Sato. He's got good judo which I love from him and think is underutilized in MMA against the cage, and he has good power. But his chaining is off, which is surprising to me that he's been so successful. He must have really good timing and rhythm when he's actually standing across from you. But I like D-Rod here, I think hell have a striking advantage and can keep away from the throws and underwhelming top pressure of Sato. I won't be mad whoever wins, this is probably my fight of the night. This or Hubbard.
Hubbard vs. Solecki
Austin Hubbard, DEC
I like Hubbard he's made me a good amount of money between taking Madsen to a decision and finishing Max. I can't really sing his praises cause he's not exactly a standout yet, but I think he's one of the most consistently 'good' fighters I've seen come on to the scene in a while. Good gas tank, good wrestling, good submission, and good striking. Just not really great anywhere. Joe Solecki on the other hand has looked great in moments, but that's most of what I see from him. Highlight reel moments, his in between steps in fights don't really seem all that great for me. Which is probably why his two losses are absolute dog **** compared to Hubbard's four losses. The only thing I can say for certain is that the first round should be a fun five minutes.
Grant vs. Born
Dwight Grant, TKO, R1
The odds are a bit off here, but not enough to warrant a shot on Born. Anyways, not really much need of an explanation for this pick, Grant should be the favorite in all departments and is.
Villanueva vs. Wright
Jordan Wright, DEC
I mean Ike Villanueva was always a LH, but I expect him to be the bigger man here. Still I'm going with Jordan Wright via decision, and strangely enough I caught him at dog money. But I think the line has evened out more. This fight is a bit of a pick 'em because Jordan Wright's durability is a question. But the known variables that I do have for Villanueva suggest that he is prone to Wright's style of fighting, maybe similar to his loss to Antonio Jones.
Semelsberger vs. Minus
Carlton Minus, TKO, R3
I can't really judge Minus's loss to Rick Story, a lot of good UFC fighers have lost to Rick Story, But I can judge Semelsberger's losses, cause they were awful. I didn't watch too much tape on Minus, but Semelsberger looked like a one pump chump, but I'm not crazy confident in this pick because I said the same thing about the Cosce brothers and now look at me.
Valiev vs. Jones
Timur Valiev, DEC
No need to explain this one, not a terrible parlay building. Valiev only loses to great guys and Trevin Jones isn't that great.

that's a ridiculous fight. Makes me lose a little respect for McFarlane. I never seen that fight before. ******* broad is really fighting soccer moms. Castro looks like she has zero training she just needed money for new soccer uniforms. Instead she got a concussion. No wonder McFarlane stays in bellator. Big fish in a little pond.

If Frankie still wasn't chasing title shots, but he took this dangerous fight instead of getting his feet back on track against someone who isn't rising. Someone in a similar situation that he is in, because if he does lose this fight, it might be time for retirement.
He still has the heart, but I think the man is worn out. The amount of time he has spent in that Octagon compared to Munhoz..
Would be a fairy tale ending if Frankie wins, IMO.

Frankie Edgar, DEC
I think the fears about Edgar losing his chin are overblown and I think his wrestling and grinding style are enough at bantamweight. If he loses it'll be by first round ko, otherwise he should get stronger as the fight goes on.
St. Preux vs. Menifield
Ovince St. Preux, DEC
I'm very unimpressed with Menifield and OSP at even 75% is good enough to dominate this fight. Small chance at an OSP sub or a Menifield 1-hit KO, but most likely outcome is St. Preux outpointing him.
Rodriguez vs. Prachnio
Mike Rodriguez, TKO, R1
These guys aren't good, but Rodriguez is less bad if that makes sense. He should be busier and use his reach to stun, and then finish Prachnio.
Agapova vs. Dobson
Mariya Agapova, SUB, R1
It's only a matter of when.
Sato vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, DEC
Sato is fast but just doesn't have much power. He gets finishes via flurry punching and that won't be enough. Rodriguez will get takedowns to win the rounds, if he needs them, and a few sub attempts, though I doubt he gets a finish.
Inoue vs. Lemos
Amanda Lemos, SUB, R2
I think Inoue is very overrated, especially because of her last fight which she should've lost. Lemos is going to be bigger again and has the edge everywhere except speed. I think Lemos japs her way to a takedown and eventually gets the sub in the 2nd.
Hubbard vs. Solecki
Joe Solecki, SUB, R2
The odds moving towards Hubbard are blowing my mind because I think Solecki should be a big favorite. His wrestling is enough to destroy Hubbard alone and if he decides to strike he's not going to gas like Hubabrds last opponent. I figure Hubbard will win the striking battle, and Solecki will just take him down and smash for a while. I expect a 1st or 2nd round submission or tko.
Grant vs. Born
Dwight Grant, TKO, R2
Grant isn't very good but he's better than this guy. 1st or 2nd round tko. I went with 2nd because I think the pure excitement and adrenal will carry Born through to the 2nd.
Villanueva vs. Wright
Ike Villanueva, TKO, R1
Villanueva is a savy vet, at the right weight class, fighting a guy who just isn't on the ufc level. Some ninja **** might work well for a while but he'll go down once he gets hit.
Semelsberger vs. Minus
Matthew Semelsberger, TKO, R2
I have no interest in this fight.
Valiev vs. Jones
Timur Valiev, DEC
Valiev will win, method is a question though. There's a chance at a tko by flurry but I doubt it. Unanimous 10-9's with Valiev winning the striking and finishing each round on top. Jones might have good bjj but I doubt it's good enough to tap a Dagestani wrestler like Valiev.

Pedro Munhoz, DEC
people think frankie is really shot, huh? i think he's gonna lose, but i'm not expecting munhoz to land the killshot. i think frankie finds himself forced to rush in and gets pecked away at while waiting for his chances.
St. Preux vs. Menifield
Ovince St. Preux, DEC
thinking osp outlasts menifield here. don't really see why he's the underdog.
Rodriguez vs. Prachnio
Mike Rodriguez, TKO, R2
getting ko'd by sam alvey will always have me skeptical of prachnio.
Agapova vs. Dobson
Mariya Agapova, TKO, R2
dobson should probably be re-inventing herself in invicta instead of playing ufc fodder.
Rodriguez vs. Grant
Dwight Grant, DEC
glad both of these guys could still fight. grant has the better wins so i'll go with him, think he should be able to control the striking and stuff td attempts even though drod is game all around.
Inoue vs. Lemos
Mizuki Inoue, DEC
big fan on mizuki, really hoping she can stay healthy. she figures to have the grappling edge, but the question will be if her striking can distract lemos enough to let her in on a quality shot instead of pulling guard. i'll go with my heart on this one even though i think lemos will be a decent test.
Hubbard vs. Solecki
Austin Hubbard, DEC
part of me is concerned about the tdd, but i'm finding it hard to weight a decision over 2019 matt wiman so i'll go with who seems to be the better striker.
Villanueva vs. Wright
Jordan Wright, SUB, R2
ike has the bigger show experience, but has been finished a lot and wright is a finisher.
Semelsberger vs. Minus
Carlton Minus, TKO, R1
huge competition gap.
Valiev vs. Jones
Timur Valiev, DEC
valiev is hyped up, but for a reason, and i think he should outclass jones even if it ends up going to scorecards.

Sub, R2.
Not confident in OSP but Menifield just basically goons his way to wins, and he's a bit like me in bed; pretty much finished after 5 minutes. If OSP can survive the first, Alonzo will have punched himself out and will probably give up a TD and get choked.
Austin Hubbard vs. Joe Solecki
Sub R3.
My pick for FOTN, but I'm surprised so many people are picking Joe, who is kind of outgunned here in terms of power, and wrestling. He's definitely got a lot more **** in the toolbox and throws more, but my feeling is that it will be Hubbard landing the big damage and controlling the grappling exchanges. Yes, he dropped fights to Ramos and O'Madsen, but so would have Solecki. I see this as Hubbard's fight to lose.
Mariya Agapova vs. Shana Dobson
KO/TKO R1-2.
If I had to describe Dobson's style, it would be 'tantrum of a spastic denied pudding', and frankly I won't be at all surprised if Agapova just holds her at arms length with one hand pressed against her head, laughing, as Dobson spams indiscriminate hammerfists to the hips and thigh, before Agapova gets bored and kicks her head into the rafters.

Both guy have **** gas tank so I hope it end quiclky , Think this fight might suck ass with St preuz winning with experince
Rodriguez vs. Prachnio
Mike Rodriguez, TKO, R1
Not high on either guy but this seem like a good match up for Rodrigruez because Marcin look chinny getting starch by Alvey and Ankelive, and Rodrigrez has that power
Agapova vs. Dobson
Shana Dobson, DEC
Think Agapova is super overated, Think she probley kick Dobson ass because she a 3-4 with no good wins, Agapova sucks on the ground and even tho Dobson problely ain't gonna be the one to exploit it, At plus +1300 i take my chances at being a mad lad
Rodriguez vs. Grant
Daniel Rodriguez, SUB, R2
Hate Dwight Grant style of being scared to throw **** while having power to end **** and Rodriguez look good when he fight Tim Means so like rodriguez

Don't care
Hubbard vs. Solecki
Austin Hubbard, DEC
Really enjoy Hubbord making that Max guy rage quit last time and so happy that guy got cut because I don't want to see him in their again , And his anti grapling is so fun to watch and Soleki is a grapler so great Job shelby.Why is this not like on the main card tho, Think this fight is close but if Hubbord can kept it standing he will win
