Carlos Ulberg, TKO, R2
I'd feel better about taking Ulberg, if Oliveira didn't KO Jared Gooden last time out. Not saying Gooden is a world beater, but he's a solid fighter.
Bahamondes vs. Gomez
Ignacio Bahamondes, TKO, R2
Nacho should be able to get this guy outta there. And get back on track with finishing fights.
Macias vs. de Paula
Pauline Macias, DEC
It woulda only been a matter of time for Pauline Macias to "break on thru to the otherside" and get her crack in the UFC. (Sorry, listening to The Doors.)
Murdock vs. Saldaña
Vince Murdock, TKO, R2

Pauline Macias, DEC
Picked based on Elevation Fight Team behind her. I can be confident that Macias won't gas out, and will go into the fight with a game plan. That's an edge I will always take.

Murdock +130, Hunsucker v Vandera O1.5 +140, Edson Gomez +350. I don't think Gomez gets the win but those odds are ridiculous.

low-mid level at best....i did have high expectations because he's a CKB product but he's actually very timid and not aggressive enough if you ask me.
if Bruno is as tough he looks and stays pressuring forward, i think he should win this fight

Bruno Oliveira, SUB, R1
pick subject to change haha this is a real tossup
Bahamondes vs. Gomez
Ignacio Bahamondes, DEC
I want Gomez to win, and at +350 he might be worth a small bet. But Bahamondes has fought and beaten much tougher competition
Murdock vs. Saldaña
Vince Murdock, TKO, R2
Surprised to see so many picking Murdock also, not often tapology disagrees so hard with the books but I like it. Really hope he wins, since he thought he would never fight again only a year ago.
Vanderaa vs. Hunsucker
Jared Vanderaa, TKO, R1
Hunsucker has been crushing some CANS. That hasn't always been a death sentence on DWCS, as some regional scenes (like kentucky) are pretty shallow pools especially at HW. But Vanderaa trains with Hendo, who knows a thing or two about making huge men quit.

Saldana is very awkward with his style and throws repetitive kicks but vince in all his fights i've seen has been a very hittable target and isn't defensively sound. he also seems very prone to get hit and get caught in place and he doesn't wrestle or clinch.
i'll take my chances I see the first death in the octagon.
Saldana by finish
what is the UFC thinking

I think Hunsucker pulls off the victory, he has more speed and higher output but he's very sloppy, much like his eating habits i would assume.
Vanderaa size and grappling advantage will probably be the only reason he wins, if he does

Ignacio Bahamondes, TKO, R1
Gomez has little experience with real competition. Not super confident.
Murdock vs. Saldaña
Luis Saldaña, TKO, R1
Murdock coming off layoff and from a easy promotion. may get stuck outside.
Vanderaa vs. Hunsucker
Jared Vanderaa, TKO, R2
HunSucker. Never been to the second rd. grapple as well.
