Barboza vs. Amirkhani
Edson Barboza, TKO, R2
Really hope Edson can pick up a big win here

Rothwell vs. Tybura
Marcin Tybura, DEC

Aspinall vs. Baudot
Tom Aspinall, TKO, R1
looks like a mismatch to me

Breese vs. Bhullar
Tom Breese, SUB, R2
I'm feeling wild with this pick

Kasanganay vs. Buckley
Impa Kasanganay, DEC
Buckley could absolutely flatten Impa here, he got wobbled by Pitolo in that last fight. But until I see him show anything besides insanely high fight IQ and a bottomless gas tank, I will always pick Kasanganay.

Chikadze vs. Morales
Omar Morales, DEC
Total coin flip here. These guys both look like they could be real contenders in the next few years.

This is actually a long UFC card with great fights so I’m exited but me being a negative nelly, like half the fighter are Brazilian, and I don’t believe Brazilian are fighting until they step into the octagon because they kept getting Covid

AlQaisi vs. Kelley
Ali AlQaisi, DEC
This match is going to be closer than many expect. After seeing Kelley gas out in his last fight against Kai Kamaka, I think Alqaisi will outlast him for a 29-28 decision

Cortez vs. Egger
Tracy Cortez, DEC
Cortez was very impressive in her UFC debut on Dana White's contenders series. Then picked up a good win against Vanessa Melo. She is a more quicker and aggressive fighter than Egger

KB Bhullar is undefeated after 8 fights, but he has never fought in big organizations, therefore I don't think he can do much against Tom Breese who is coming off losing to Brendan Allen, if he loses this fight he could be running the risk of have one of his last fights in the UFC, therefore he is bound to win

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 465 Points   |   Tied for 1444th

Moraes vs. Sandhagen
Cory Sandhagen, TKO, R3
Moraes has 2 rounds to get this done. I think Sandhagen has good length and constant pressure. Pressure is going to be a problem for Moraes' gas tank. I think Cory survives the flurry.

Barboza vs. Amirkhani
Edson Barboza, TKO, R3
I do think Makwan will get a TD, but I don't think that automatically means a sub for Makwan. I think this gets to the third and AMirkhani gets pieced up.

Rothwell vs. Tybura
Marcin Tybura, DEC
This is a ****show. Rothwell just takes damage and moves forward. If Tybura gasses and gets pushed against the cage, he can get finished. I just think Tybura is a little better.

Perez vs. Du Plessis
Markus Perez, DEC
Perez should take this guy to the ground.

Aspinall vs. Baudot
Tom Aspinall, TKO, R1
Baudot is not the guy.

Zalal vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, TKO, R1
Really torn on this one. Topuria is a good wrestler that has good hands. I think Zalal will get taken down. If this goes into the later rounds, will be interesting to see how much Topuria has in the tank. You know Zalal has cardio. Not as high on Zalal as most.

Breese vs. Bhullar
KB Bhullar, DEC
This is a coin flip fight for me. Breese is probably way better, but this dude just cannot perform.

Nascimento vs. Daukaus
Rodrigo Nascimento, SUB, R1
Daukaus is a black belt, but I give huge edge to Nascimento on the ground. Daukaus has power, but you can't use your power when your back is on the mat.

Kasanganay vs. Buckley
Impa Kasanganay, TKO, R3
Buckley is all muscle. He's got power, but this guy will fade and is extremely hittable when he does. Impa will keep the pace and pressure on him.

AlQaisi vs. Kelley
Ali AlQaisi, DEC
Kelley can get taken down and he's going against a wrestler... I'll take the wrestler.

Chikadze vs. Morales
Omar Morales, DEC
Don't know how people are so high on Giga. I think Morales will have power and speed advantage.

Cortez vs. Egger
Tracy Cortez, DEC
Both are grapplers. If the size edge is not huge, I'll go Cortez. Cortez gets hit, but Egger doesn't strike.

Ulanbekov vs. Silva
Tagir Ulanbekov, TKO, R3
Tagir a great wrestler. Silva has good kicks, but won't have much to offer. Tagir has hands that go well with his TD's. I think he gets the finish, but he could just control for 15 minutes.

Zalal vs. Topuria
Youssef Zalal, DEC
Example #3 on this card of fighter I see winning only to have the book leave no value on a wager. Zalal's path to victory is to win on points in a stand up battle. His opponent is quick to grab the neck and finish the fight. I could also see it end up 29-28 even if it stays on the feet the whole fight.

Nascimento vs. Daukaus
Rodrigo Nascimento, SUB, R2
Same here. Do I think Nascimento wins? Yes. Does he have a path to victory? Yes. Is his opponent dangerous? Yes. Is the price high to take the fighter I see winning? Yes. Books taking all the value out of this card.

Kasanganay vs. Buckley
Impa Kasanganay, DEC
This fight is one of many where the odds are not giving you a lot of meat on the bone. Do I think Impa wins? Yes. Is his price high at the book? Yes.

Tracy Cortez   vs.   Stephanie Egger  
Cortez sub R2.


This is surprisingly awful matchmaking even by the standards of WMMA to such an extent that I found myself confused, but slightly impressed that it occurred to someone to even book it. It's a bit like that time some guy bummed a smoke off me in the local park, and got to talking, and at some point explained to me that he'd been there the day before and had watched a Pigeon eat the discarded leftovers of someone's sandwich, and how it had polished it off completely in exactly 4:39 seconds. Timing how long it takes for a pigeon to eat  A dumped half-eaten sandwich is just a very strange thing to do, and it's stranger again to think this is a worthy topic of conversation that will somehow endear you to a stranger.


Sadly, This fight will not be as interesting as watching a pigeon eat half a stale sandwich or even learning how long that takes to happen. This is going to be stalemated grapple****ery of the highest order punctuated by many referee interventions due to inactivity. Lots of stand-ups and separations.  I do not share the sentiment that Cortez is attractive. To my sensibilities, she looks like a lightly rained-on screever's cartoon rendition in chalk of Betty Boop completed at the end of his shift, and on Heroin.

Hope springs eternal so I'll take Cortez to wrap this thing up quickly by sub.

Marlon Moraes vs. Cory Sandhagen
Cory Sandhagen
  • The height and reach advantage might benefit him, still Marlon is someone to not take lightly. Marlon has fought more top contender in his division but I have a feeling Marlon gonna slow down towards the later rounds.

Edson Barboza vs. Makwan Amirkhani
Makwan Amirkhani
  • Edson wanted to retire, you still think he has that motivation? Also Edson is excellent standing but if Makwan gets him on the ground...I feel its gonna be a ground control win for Makwan.

Ben Rothwell vs. Marcin Tybura
Marcin Tybura
  • I got a gut feeling Marcin Tybura is gonna be the faster guy here but Ben does hit hard. If Marcin concentrates he might connect some good hits or clinch Ben again the fence. If possible take Ben down.

Markus Perez vs. Dricus Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis
  • Another gamble, I have a gut feeling with Du Plessis. I got to see some of his highlights and seems pretty legit. I haven't seen much of Markus but i heard he dresses up as a Joker during weigh in lol

Tom Aspinall vs. Alan Baudot
Tom Aspinall
  • Frank Mir Jr lol But man his last KO was crazy precise. I got to see Alan fight in another organization for a title fight and he got his rocked. Tom has power.
Youssef Zalal vs. Ilia Topuria
Youssef Zalal if it goes to round 3
  • Youssef is a tank but from the clip i saw from Topuria...this guy wants to kill you within a round. If Topuria burns out quickly, Youssef will win by decision.

Tom Breese vs. KB Bhullar
KB Bhullar
  • KB Bhullar, this is a gut feeling choice. He's also in my drafkingz line up.

Chris Daukaus vs. Rodrigo Nascimento
Chris Daukaus
  • Being a cop and how he fought Parker Porter, man that was crazy. Rodrigo is also a good fighter and not to be taken lightly but if Rodrigo slip, Chris got him.

Impa Kasanganay vs. Joaquin Buckley
Impa Kasangany
  • Joaquin throws crazy hands which one might land on Impa but Impa is built like a ******* tank and can take those hits. Impa fight with Pitolo was boring but i got to see how Impa is patient and connects good hit. Possible Knockout? Decision win?

Ali Al-Qaisi vs. Tony Kelley
Ali Al-Qaisi
  • Ali fight with Irvin was crazy. He stood against him three full rounds. Tony did go hard the first round when he fought Kai but burned himself out quick. I feel Ali know this and will use this against him. Possible decision win for Ali if he plays it smooth.

Giga Chikadze vs. Omar Morales
Omar Morales
  • Omar got power and has good ground game but also Giga has power, If Omar don't slip he got this but if he slips he might get knocked out by Giga but I feel the pressure of Omar will get him a win

Tracy Cortez vs. Stephanie Egger
Stephanie Egger
  • This is giving me a Holy Holm vs Aldana feel. Yeah Tracy is more younger and active but I got a feeling that Stephanie might overwhelm her.

Bruno Silva vs. Tagir Ulanbekov
Tagir Ulanbekov

I wouldn't be suprise if Cory Sandhagen is a  bit overated, He got embaresses by Aljo last time out and he didn't really beat any one great, He beat Assunsho ,but Assunsho is old and done at the top level and Lineker is a foot shorter then him and Lineker could of maybe beat him. I don't need to mention his other Opponent.

Compare that to Marlon who knock out Aljo, Rivera, and Assusnsho, Went to a close fight with Aldo, Aldo still really ******* good for 3 rounders, And still look really good agaist Triple C, Even tho he loss
