A lot of people underrated Chikadze's kicks against a guy who doesn't really have any skills to speak of. He's only a boxer, and not a very good one. 30-27 UD for Giga. Easy.

Brady vs. Aguilera
Sean Brady, TKO, R1
Aguilera seems like a kill or be killed type of guy. I want to say Brady by decision, but Aguilera throws heat and I think he'll force Brady to bang with him. Someone is getting dropped in this one.

Who made this line for betting is being  genurous with many +300 on close fight even tho I think they gonna Lose. Only Hate it for picking because of that because I hate picking fight like that because I want to pick the value but also the winner

Dog picking is what makes picking fun, And i swear me picking value does better then me picking winners genuraly ,

i dont see alexa grasso having anything for ji yeon kim. shes going to be way under sized, at a 6" reach disadvantage and in the small cage. i see kim just walking her down landing power shots. kim gets stronger as the fight goes on, she'll wear grasso down for a dominant decision or maybe a late stoppage.

Nice value on Bill Algeo @ +190.  Lamas doesn't throw enough to counter Algeo's balls to the wall output.
ntm Bill Algeo's clinch...holy ****!!!

Lamas comes back to **** up a sub-level can

Caceres vs. Croom
Alex Caceres, DEC
Caceres gets the easy decision versus Croom because Croom is a regional fighter on short notice

Smith vs. Rakić
Aleksandar Rakić, TKO, R3
Skill wise, they match up well.. but my main concern is that Smith is coming too soon off of his last KO loss. I doubt if he has well recovered after taking that kind of damage in the Glover fight..

Lawler vs. Magny
Neil Magny, DEC
Magny starts slow with less activity (his last fight with the calibre of someone like Rocco Martin wasn't impressive) Lawler isn't the same fighter anymore. I see a slow paced fight with both trying to win the 3rd round to sway the judges decision. Magny by decision.

@ totocortez
Magny-Lawler could end like you said. Or Lawler Knock Magny out and people start yelling he is back for title run. Then he get beat next fight.

Very true. Robbie Lawyer got that hardcore fan base. He just needs 1 brutal victory and they will demanding a title shot or exclaiming. "He's Back!" Even if he does KO Magney, hes not back nor ever will be. UFC would probably grant Robbie a title shot to sell tickets and receive further brain damage.

Sure Robbie could get another world title..Bellator or PFL Maybe ONE.
Top 10 UFC too fast, great wrestlers and some technical strikers.

How bout when Ji Yeon Kim fought Justine Kish, who's 5'4" with a 64" reach and orthodox, to a split decision win.

Or when she fought Melinda Fabian, who's 5'6'' with a 66'' reach and orthodox, to another split decision win.

Kim's reach really doesn't matter lol.
