Nick Maximov, DEC
Maximov's last fight was about 2 months ago while Costa hasn't fought for over a year. I think cage rust will get the better of Costa here.
Buys vs. Silva
JP Buys, DEC
I think this will be a closer than a lot of people think but Buys should bag himself another win here.
Macias vs. de Paula
Pauline Macias, SUB, R3
A lot of fights at 115lbs tend to go the distance but I think this one might be different.
Blackledge vs. Lutz
Tucker Lutz, TKO, R2
Despite the height and reach difference, I think Lutz has too much power for Blackledge to handle.
Hackett vs. Leonardo
Victoria Leonardo, DEC
I think Leonardo will use her experience to her advantage.

Nick Maximov, SUB, R1
We're so gangster and so tough that we're gonna coach someone and feed him 5 fights in a row against people who have a combined record of 2-14. Hurrrr. **** of Diaz brothers. He'll win this tho because Oscar doesn't have TD defense good enough to stop Nick and he can't pull the trigger to put him out before he gets inside. Stupid matchup.
Buys vs. Silva
Jacob Silva, TKO, R3
JP Buys will probably make his way around to the UFC, but I don't think it will be for about another year.
Macias vs. de Paula
Gloria de Paula, DEC
I'll trust De Paula to be able to keep Macias off of her. Macias struggled to take down a natural atomweight so I'm not high on her even if she does have good BJJ>
Blackledge vs. Lutz
Sherrard Blackledge, TKO, R3
Sherrard should have gotten the contract in my opinion. It wasn't his fault that Church was tougher than a leather boot. I'd pick Church to beat Lutz and ergo I'll pick Blackledge to win here. He'll fight safe in the first round and then get motivated to hunt for the finish in the second or third.
Hackett vs. Leonardo
Victoria Leonardo, SUB, R2
Experience means so much. People just don't realize that sometimes, I get wanting to jump at the chance, but just build yourself up a bit more. Even if it's like what the Diaz brothers did for Nick and just feed him cans. Getting adjusted to the environment really matters. Even if I rated Hackett I'd still pick Leonardo for that fact.

Oscar Cota, TKO, R3
209lbs vs 263.5lbs. Your TD doesnt have to be too great when you've got 50 pounds over your opponent plus I think Cotas experience will help him here. I think Maximov gasses and gets sloppily finished in round 3.

Sherrard Blackledge, DEC
This was a tough one for me on paper i liked Lutz better but after rewatching his contender match he leaves his chin open way to much, I feel like Blackledge is the safer way to go, He looked better in his contender fight and has the height and reach advantage. Maybe Blackledge catches Lutz for a ko but most likely just a decision.
Hackett vs. Leonardo
Victoria Leonardo, DEC
I at first was gonna go with Leonardo here, I've won money on her last fight vs Liz Tracy, Honestly i felt like Tracy won it but i wasn't mad because i won money haha but after watching the highlights on Hackett's fight vs Rhiannon Thompson. I thought she handled herself okay with controlling the hands on the ground even though she gave up her back pretty easily but stand up striking was excellent but being a Muay Thai champion will do that i'm sure!
