Alexander Romanov, DEC
Romanov all day. Who has de lima fought to prove that he's UFC material? That's the problem right there. Now he's up a guy who grinds out everybody and smashes at will. This one will be fun. I'm picking Romanov by dec because his style doesn't warrant early KOs, and I dunno how De lima does being the nail.

Alexander Romanov, SUB, R1
never know what'll happen with de lima, but romanov seems poised to use him as a steppling stone given his ability to finish.
Smith vs. Azure
Hunter Azure, DEC
if azure stays measured then i think he can give a lot of gives trouble with his power.

Alistair Overeem, DEC
almost thinking reem tries to wrestle here even though he might have the standing advantage too.
St. Preux vs. Menifield
Ovince St. Preux, DEC
i like osp's tank here i think. hopefully the reschedulings haven't screwed that up too much.
Pereira vs. Imadaev
Michel Pereira, TKO, R2
just hoping it's fun. zelim got finished by roberts, which is understandable, but we all know michel is gonna come out aggressive.
Kelleher vs. Natividad
Brian Kelleher, DEC
might be fun if kevin engages kelleher in the brawl he likes, big step up in competition level though.
Moisés vs. Turner
Thiago Moisés, DEC
moises probably has the better grooming as a prospect, turner has the scarier skillset. i'll go with thiago to close distance and keep things varied.
Fabiński vs. Muniz
Bartosz Fabiński, DEC
fabinski either gets an early td and grinds for 15 or he gets pieced up. i'll take the former.
De La Rosa vs. Araujo
Viviane Araujo, DEC
feel like vivi can get top position and avoid getting caught up.

Alistair Overeem, TKO, R3
War Overeem, Overeem is my boy while Sakai should of lost vs Arvloski and should of lost but went unpunished for fence grabs vs Ivanov, i am heavily biased but i think Overeem beats him,(Sakai is just a less powerful Harris with a better gas tank)
St. Preux vs. Menifield
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R1
St. Preux has the advantage on the ground but probably won't use it Menifield is really good for the first 2 rounds and if he can't get the finish by the third he could get beat but i think he takes it
Pereira vs. Imadaev
Michel Pereira, TKO, R2
Pereira looked good against Sanchez (though it was sanchez) Imadaev looked good against Roberts before getting slept, 50/50
Kelleher vs. Natividad
Kevin Natividad, DEC
Natividad should win but Kelleher is good at getting an upset win
Moisés vs. Turner
Thiago Moisés, SUB, R2
Moises got hit a lot by Johnson before Johnson decided he wanted to lose the fight instead, Turner has power but i think Moises just takes him down and submits him
Fabiński vs. Muniz
Bartosz Fabiński, DEC
Fabinski smesh
De La Rosa vs. Araujo
Viviane Araujo, DEC
Don't bet on WMMA
Rogério de Lima vs. Romanov
Alexander Romanov, SUB, R1
Romanov hasn't fough the best of competition while Lima has been fighting in the UFC for ages, that being said Lima isn't the best on the ground which seems to be where Romanov is at his best, Romanov has never been to decision while Lima has only gone three times odds are this ends in a finish
Smith vs. Azure
Hunter Azure, DEC
close fight, feel like Azure gets it but theirs value in smith, Azure drops down to Bantamweight, which i can't tell if it helps him or harms him

Alistair Overeem, TKO, R3
Sakai looked bad on the weigh in. I say overeems chin holds up finishes the fight in third
St. Preux vs. Menifield
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R1
Please dont gas out
Pereira vs. Imadaev
Zelim Imadaev, TKO, R2
Pereiras gonna gas out R2. Imadaev seems more stable patient fighter
Kelleher vs. Natividad
Kevin Natividad, TKO, R1
Natividad should explode. I dont trust Kellehers chin
Moisés vs. Turner
Thiago Moisés, TKO, R2
Catches him on the chin
Fabiński vs. Muniz
André Muniz, SUB, R1
Fabinski has good grapple but muniz seems like a guy who can turns bad situations to his way. I say he subs him on 1
De La Rosa vs. Araujo
Montana De La Rosa, SUB, R2
Survive round 1, sub on the 2nd. Get under araujo maybe armbar, or rear naked choke?
Rogério de Lima vs. Romanov
Alexander Romanov, TKO, R1
See this finishing in 5 min.
Smith vs. Azure
Hunter Azure, DEC
Azure locked in?

I am not high at all on either one of those dudes. Menifield does have the power to catch OSP, but if he doesn't in the first round he could easily get taken down and subbed.
Imadaev on the other hand is not good at all. His one career victory over a dude with a winning record is 16-8-1 Ivan Gluhak and he has lost 2/2 UFC fights. Pereira is no prospect in my eyes but dude has just as much knockout power as Danny Roberts and after that slap in the weigh-ins I think he might have some extra motivation to put this prick away.

I will break down the fight against Tybura from that video though and point out a few key fun facts also.
-Fight was originally signed and scheduled for Sept 7th 2019 As a hot dog eating contest. Both fighters arrived but the hotdogs had been forgotten so they rescheduled it as an MMA fight the following week on Sept 14th. Saki won by KO that night......he was the hungrier fighter.....

Some interesting fights tonight, I'm excited!
Tonight Araujo, OSP, and Romanov are all fighting after previously testing positive for COVID - we'll see if that plays a factor in the fights or not
