Marlon Moraes, SUB, R1
Marlon hurts him on the feet to get the sub
Barboza vs. Amirkhani
Edson Barboza, TKO, R2
This will be fun while it lasts. Barboza should piece him up
Aspinall vs. Baudot
Tom Aspinall, TKO, R1
Very easy work for Aspinall. Should be quick and easy
Zalal vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, SUB, R2
I’m thinking this hits the mat and Ilia gets the sub
Nascimento vs. Daukaus
Rodrigo Nascimento, SUB, R2
Nascimento subs a tired Daukaus
Kasanganay vs. Buckley
Impa Kasanganay, DEC
I’m not sure with this fight I feel Impa is more accurate but it will probably be close
AlQaisi vs. Kelley
Tony Kelley, SUB, R3
Feel like Kelley will be in his face and Al Qaisi will be shooting for takedowns to get caught in a sub
Chikadze vs. Morales
Omar Morales, DEC
Morales keeps a high pace and I think it should wear on Giga
Ulanbekov vs. Silva
Tagir Ulanbekov, DEC
Ulanbekov is superior everywhere and Silva tends to gas.

This bout aside, my question on Daukaus at this point is; should he go down to 205? Looks like he could and perhaps be a bigger threat.
That question aside, and other useless information, in Lithuanian, "Daukaus" loosely translates to "lots of beer".

Joaquin Buckley, TKO, R2
Okay. I know, I know. Impa is decent, and he's getting around well. But what happens when we're faced with a KO artist? Could he get touched? I think there's a little value there.
AlQaisi vs. Kelley
Tony Kelley, DEC
I have a good level of trust in Kelley. His last fight was good man. Real good. If he keep this standing, Ali is not gonna like what's cooking.
Chikadze vs. Morales
Omar Morales, DEC
Eh.... I mean the gameplan for beating Giga is there. I just don't know if Omar can execute. If he doesn't, this should be close.

Cory Sandhagen, DEC
SO.... I know what yall are thinking. Moraes for the KO, Cory for the distance. Yall are probably correct. I just love Cory in spots like this with people fading him; People forget how he got to the title eliminator.
Barboza vs. Amirkhani
Edson Barboza, TKO, R3
Makwan gonna come in fast, and Barboza can shrug him off. Then when Makwan is tired, Edson will nail him. At least that's what I want to believe.
Rothwell vs. Tybura
Ben Rothwell, DEC
............. I'm gonna go with Rothwell.
Perez vs. Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis, DEC
What a show. I like Dricus here, but not much.
Aspinall vs. Baudot
Tom Aspinall, TKO, R1
Ooof. I like Tom, but I don't have the full story of his skillset. Maybe he won't need it here.
Zalal vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, SUB, R2
Topuria looks interesting.... But Zalal is game. Potential FOTN.
Breese vs. Bhullar
Tom Breese, DEC
I dunno. Nothing so far has been a breeze for Tom Breese, and I just don't know what KB looks like. Guess we'll find out. i know Breese is good, I just need him to show up.

Sophisticated New Predictions
Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 500 Points | Tied for 1071st
I want Tom Breese at -245. He has a zesty crotch-hold. Breese could escape the enemy.
Barboza vs. Amirkhani
I am with Edson Barboza at -275. He has a captivating bicycle kick. Barboza is gonna violate the bandit.
Rothwell vs. Tybura
I go for Ben Rothwell at -155. He has an outrageous hane goshi and a kosher bicycle kick. Rothwell won't attempt the victory.
Nascimento vs. Daukaus
I am taking Rodrigo Nascimento at -255. He has a luxurious suplex. Nascimento will escape the ring announcer. Cavalo dado não se olha os dentes!
Chikadze vs. Morales
I am with Omar Morales at -160. He has a zen lapel choke. Morales will likely goad the dissentient.
Zalal vs. Topuria
I choose Youssef Zalal at -155. He has a qualified double leg. Zalal is gonna cheat the feat. Obey my dog!
Cortez vs. Egger
I choose Tracy Cortez at -180. She has an amoral kouchi gari. Cortez should damage the canvas.
Aspinall vs. Baudot
I have got Tom Aspinall at -620. He has a yappy powerbomb and an advanced lumberjack sweep. Aspinall isn't about to unsettle the TV audience.
Kasanganay vs. Buckley
I am taking Impa Kasanganay at -245. He has a voluptuous bear hug and a cybernetic left hand. Kasanganay is about to undermine the dark horse. Вот, где собака зарыта!
Perez vs. Du Plessis
I can't get enough of Dricus Du Plessis at -165. He has an amoral hane goshi. Du Plessis ought to finish the masterpiece. It's a lock!
Ulanbekov vs. Silva
I like Tagir Ulanbekov at -460. He has a woebegone double leg flapjack. Ulanbekov might drain the canvas. Truth!
AlQaisi vs. Kelley
I can't get enough of Tony Kelley at -215. He has a priceless spinning back elbow and a jarring spinning back elbow. Kelley should claw the opposing forces.
Moraes vs. Sandhagen
I tap Cory Sandhagen at -145. He has a zany stamina. Sandhagen will land the ring announcer.
