Prediction Comments

Predictions: 4 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 275 Points   |   Tied for 2931st

Figueiredo vs. Perez
Deiveson Figueiredo, SUB, R1
Figgy too much. He's a killer. Its as simple as that.

Shevchenko vs. Maia
Valentina Shevchenko, TKO, R2
Yawn

Perry vs. Means
Mike Perry, DEC
Tough fight to pick. Neither do much for me. Perry just cuz he's a little insane. Don't think he gets a finish though.

Chookagian vs. Calvillo
Cynthia Calvillo, DEC
Cynthia is 1 of my favorite female MMA fighters. I think she will get a title shot very soon. Will she beat The Bullet? I doubt it. But she will outclass Chookagian for 3 rounds.

Rua vs. Craig II
Maurício Rua, TKO, R1
Rua still has some juice left. I think he takes it to Paul early cuz he don't wanna go too deep into the fight. Could backfire and get subbed, but I got faith.

Moreno vs. Royval
Brandon Royval, SUB, R2
Favorite fight on the card. I like both fighters, but I see more in Royval when I compare. I think he's on a mission. He gets pissed in round 2 and does what he does.

Buckley vs. Wright
Jordan Wright, TKO, R1
I like the fact everyone is on Buckley's sack. Hopefully he's on his own sack as well. I think he will be cuz he's a prick. Wright is a good fighter and Buckley is just more famous cuz the kick. I don't agree with the line at all and I think Wright sleeps him early.

Shevchenko vs. Lipski
Ariane Lipski, SUB, R1
Shevchenko looks horrible to me. Just not very savvy in MMA, at least to my eyes. I like Lipski to get her down and end it via Submission.

Dalby vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, TKO, R1
Rodriguez is just a mad man. Dalby is just ok. That equates to a Rodriguez win by fireworks show to me.

Jouban vs. Gooden
Jared Gooden, TKO, R1
Hard to call for me. Throwing a dart and going with Gooden. I think its a striking war and Gooden lands one to end it.

Daukaus vs. Stoltzfus
Kyle Daukaus, SUB, R2
I know Stoltzfuz is a good fighter, I just don't think he's on the level of Daukaus. Im very big on Kyle's future in the UFC. I think he treats Dustin as a stepping stone.

Cosce vs. Palatnikov
Louis Cosce, TKO, R1
Mayhem and terror for about 30 seconds. The dust settles as the stretcher comes in to collect Sasha.

@Fisty should just shut up

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 0 Perfect, 315 Points   |   Tied for 2519th

Stop calling me retarted and inhaling the scent of your own farts until you start watching some fights they're buddy, Maia is a boxer, She shot 2 takedown and landed one in her 5 UFC fight, The Shogun fight was sad and boring, Shogun was getting piece up by Paul Craig for a round and then had to resort to laying on him for 2 round, It was Not "Insane" as u like to call it. Shogun should just retire, Remberber when You said Gaeche D1 wresling will shut down Khabib Wresling even tho Gaeche MMA wresling is Medocure at best and rembeber when U call me a moron for saying Izzy is miles ahead of Costa.

It honesly piss me off because I'm right more often then the stupid people who disagree with me, and call me stupid

Jennifer Maia is what actual **** uses as a term of reference to describe something as ****.

She is someone else's bandaid that floats onto your upper lip in a public swimming pool.

This card is trash, and I will probably not bother watching it.

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 425 Points   |   Tied for 1211th

Figueiredo vs. Perez
Alex Perez, DEC
People sleeping on Perez. Guys legit!!!! Of course I also know Figgy Smokes is a monster too!! But, I don't know, I think Perez is a live dog! If he can get through the 1st 2 rounds the fight turns in his favour. Again, surviving the 1st couple rounds will be scary AF coz Figgys A MONSTER!!! But I love an underdog and I think Perez can do it

Perry vs. Means
Tim Means, DEC
Timmy Means Business!!!!! Perrys a meathead in life and as a fighter, oh Wow he beat fookin Mickey Gall!!! Timmy gonna style on him, piece him da fook up!! My only worry is Means ability to take punishment, but I am pretty confident Perry is gonna be swinging at air while Means lands 1,2's all night long

Moreno vs. Royval
Brandon Moreno, DEC
This isn't on the main card???????? But Shogun Paul Feckin Craig is?!!!!! My god, what a joke! These 2 guys are all action and 2 of the best action fighters in the UFC. FOTN right here!

@Mikey I might watch means vs Perry but yeah, realistically that's the only interesting fight on the entire card.

A bunch of wannabe stand up delights. Buckley vs Wright, Dalby vs Rod, Perry vs Means. Hell they even dug up Jouban. I hope Gordon works him over. If you like this flavor it’s for you.

You never know???

Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 275 Points   |   Tied for 2878th

I have seen fight cards like this before. Looks disappointing on paper but turns out a ripper 
 D Fig is an absolute beast for the flyweight division. If his weight cutting is under control he ain't getting beaten 

Valentino Shev is to classy for the women's flyweight division and looks to me to be unbeatable. Would love Wei Lei to go up a weight class and challenge her but other than that who else is there left
Mike P vs Dirty Bird is a street fight. Perry will think he has the power but Tim Means is grity and hard to put away. Good match up at least and not one sided like the Main and Co Main fight

Chook vs Cavillo is a ****ta. Does nothing for the division. I'm left wondering how it made it on to the Main card at a PPV event
Shogun vs Craig is a toss up. If it's anything like there first fight it will be a bummer. Credit where it's due tho, Shogun Rua has been around since the Pride days so if he can pull a submission win out over the younger tough Scotsman it will be impressive at this stage of his MMA career. Shogun Rua and Alistair Overeem I think are the only two left in the UFC to have fought in Pride back in the 1990's. Impressive.

All of my parlays will be made or laid on the prelims. So by the time the main event rolls around I'll be either too happy or too drunk to give a **** about the logic of why Chook v Calvillo is on the main card or why Maia is getting a title shot.
