Marlon Moraes, TKO, R1
Switch kicks to the head all day. BJJ black belt isn't going to be afraid of takedowns from a wrestler like Corey.
Barboza vs. Amirkhani
Edson Barboza, TKO, R3
Mr. Braboza can we have some sweet spinning **** please? Preferably to his stupid ass head.

Du pessis, KO/TKO R1.
Dricus is as entertaining as Carla Esparza is boring, which is to say very-- and it's essentially impossible for him to be in a dull fight. This one should be a banger. I'll take him to get it done here as Perez is kind of give-one-to-take one, but he's going to be getting worse than he can give in return from the smash****** that is Dricus.
Giga Chikadze vs. Omar Morales
Morales KO/TKO R2.
Chikadze is a bit like a Chinese tablet purchased from Banggood; lots of features, and looks for good the price on paper, but ultimately it degenerates into a useless pile of **** fairly rapidly. I think Omar is better than people thinks he is. Nice clean straight punches with serious power behind them, heavy leg kicks. Giga might slip out of the big **** in the first, but by round 2 he's breathing like an obese 80 year old with emphysema after busting a nut at the local rub n/Tug. Not sure what the lines are here but if it's close to even this fight is basically free money. Giga couldn't punch his way out of a spider's web and even he did want to initiate grappling, which he never does, he doesn't have the cardio to underwrite it. Most confident pick of the card.
Ben Rothwell vs. Marcin Tybura

Marlon Moraes, TKO, R4
Marlon Moraes won't let a wrestler get in his way for this win. He's a quick striker and good with his feet. I expect him to catch Sandhagen slipping in the later rounds.

This card could go so wrong in so many ways. I dunno. The fight game is unpredictable for a reason and therefore so are my picks. I might adjust based on the weigh-inns/face offs.
Moraes vs. Sandhagen
Marlon Moraes, DEC
I think Moraes wins the 1st and 2nd Rnds and will be able to squeak one more in the later Rnds to give him the DEC. His cardio is not that bad as everyone is saying.
Barboza vs. Amirkhani
Makwan Amirkhani, SUB, R1
Everyone seems to like Barboza by TKO in the later Rnds, and that is what the numbers seem to suggest based on Makwans previous fights and gas tank, but I think that Makwan is now a better version of himself, like 2.0, and I think hes on a mission and I just see him taking Barboza down and getting the SUB.
Rothwell vs. Tybura
Ben Rothwell, DEC
Two slugs with no cardio are gonna come out and hug each other against the fence for 3 rnds. Please prove me wrong here. Anyhow, there's always the fast forward button. Ben gets it done due to experience.
Perez vs. Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R2
Perez is super tough and has never been finished but as the old saying goes, "Never say never." I like Du Plessis, who has a 100% finish rate, to come and take out Perez for the first time.
Aspinall vs. Baudot
Tom Aspinall, TKO, R1
Baudot can also finish but I think Aspinall is on another level.
Zalal vs. Topuria
Youssef Zalal, DEC
Topuria is legit and dangerous but Zalal has been on a win streak in the UFC so I expect him to get a DEC win, just because Topuria is so dangerous. I know he wants the finish and hes been hunting for it but he may have to play it safe here if you know what I mean.
Breese vs. Bhullar
KB Bhullar, TKO, R1
People are picking Breese big time here but for me Bhullar is home boy, so I am picking this one religiously eyes closed. He is a striker so lets see him get a highlight reel KO R1, in his UFC debut. Every card has underdogs so this could be one of them.
Nascimento vs. Daukaus
Rodrigo Nascimento, SUB, R2
Nascimento should be able to dominate on the ground, as long as he gets it there, which I think he does and eventually gets the SUB.
Kasanganay vs. Buckley
Impa Kasanganay, DEC
Impa has pace and technique so I think beats Buckley by DEC, just because I haven't seem him finish fights a lot.
AlQaisi vs. Kelley
Ali AlQaisi, DEC
Kelley's got output but AlQaisi seems like he could edge a DEC here, after coming back hungry from a close split loss. Also Abu Dhabi is like home soil for AlQaisi, if you know what I mean.
Chikadze vs. Morales
Omar Morales, DEC
Giga has some decent striking but Morales seems to be the more all-around fighter and dangerous. I say he out smarts/performs Giga and gets the win.
Cortez vs. Egger
Stephanie Egger, SUB R2
Egger is the underdog but I am going with her to get a SUB in her UFC debut.
Ulanbekov vs. Silva
Tagir Ulanbekov, DEC
Tagir seems to be the guy to pick here. Could threaten for the SUB but Silva is Brazilian so I say he doesn't get it.

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 500 Points | Tied for 1101st
Makwan Amirkhani, DEC
Suprise Ma**** Amir***** is such a big underdog, This fight is dependent on Fight IQ and Cardio because if Amir***** can pressure Barboza for 3 round than he win, I think he do it because he the featherweight Kevin Lee, Think the odds should be pick em because Amir****i can gas but i can really see him winning this even tho I really hate him because he a smug looking ****
Cortez vs. Egger
Stephanie Egger, DEC
Might take a little bet on Egger maybe because she the bigger women in their and that be a huge advantage in the grapling, And the main reason Im picking Egger is because Cortiz is +200 and more and Women alway do stupid **** in the octogon that make you scream why the **** you do that and I rather be on the +200 side instead of the -250 side. I like Cortiz tho because her fight with Agapova was the reason I bet Dobson at +1000
