I'm very high on Romanov's future in the UFC, and I think he makes De Lima look silly Saturday. Agree, disagree?

@Messymarve88

I like what I've seen so far from him! I hope he's got a big future in the UFC, I'd love to see that! We'll get a better picture of how his future in the UFC will look after the Lima fight but I don't see Lima causing him too much trouble.

I don't see a big future in Romenov in My oppion, But I see him beating Lima because Lima Can't grapple and Lima will problely get wresle**** by Romenov. But this might be stupid, But I hate seeing his ground and pound not hurting and mostly punching his guard

Im no expert. Fighters that can win anywhere the fight goes always intrigue me. To me Romanov fits that bill. I could be totally off on him, but I'm on the wagon. Hopefully he does some damage Saturday and picks up a few more believers.

@messy Honestly no one is an expert in MMA and the only experts in MMA know that they’re no expert in MMA and that why I love it. It random and anything could happen, I love being shock at the unexpected. Picking MMA is like picking heads or tail on a coin

Santos vs. Teixeira
Thiago Santos, TKO, R3
I think this entirely depends on how are Thiago's knees. If he's the same dude as before I see him winning this, if he's compromised then Glover eats him up. The man did go to a damn split decision vs Jones, so even if he's compromised maybe he won't get finished, but I can't see him winning that one. I think if healthy Santos drops a bomb on Glover it's a wrap. Roberson hurt him really bad in their fight, I think Thiago can find the same spot too.

Arlovski vs. Boser
Tanner Boser, TKO, R1
Guy is looking like the future of HW. This will tell us if he's legit.

Gadelha vs. Yan
Xiaonan Yan, DEC
I think Yan is just better all around.

Predictions: 7 of 9 Winners, 3 Perfect, 480 Points   |   Tied for 385th

Santos vs. Teixeira
Glover Teixeira, TKO, R3/R4

This fight goes to the ground at least twice imo, Santos will be inefficient with his energy on the getups and scrambles, late TKO for Glover 

Arlovski vs. Boser
Tanner Boser, TKO

Think you need significant power and durability to throw off Boser's style, chips away for 2 rounds for a TKO I think


Gadelha vs. Yan
Yan, DEC

Terrible showing in her fight against Hill, downwards trajectory fighter who wants to conserve engergy vs someone with one of the best gas tanks in the division. Don't think Gadelha can hold her down more than a round 

Chikadze vs. Simmons
Chikadze, TKO,

Wrestling chops getting negated from wt difference, lock

Giles vs. Lewis
Lewis, DEC/TKO 

Looked very good in the Hall fight, vs a split decision fighter

Rogério de Lima vs. Romanov
Alexander Romanov, TKO

Marcos due for a loss as per his 50/50 record in the UFC 

Griffin vs. Brahimaj
Griffin, DEC

Griffin has the heart and cardio, level of competition etc



Elkins  vs. Garagorri 
Elkins, DEC

Elkins to take this fight to the mat, padded record from Garagorri

Predictions: 0 of 2 Winners, 0 Perfect, 0 Points   |   Tied for 3178th

If Santos is healthy and recovered fully, I really don't see Glover getting the upper hand here. Santos is just too powerful and explosive for Glover.
However, if Santos waists a lot of energy trying to finish the fight, glover could win the later rounds of the fight and win via decision. 
I am confident that the Santos that will show up is the same Santos who knocked out Blachowicz and went to a split decision with Jones. So, I predict an early and nasty Knockout by Santos!

Predictions: 6 of 9 Winners, 0 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 2520th

Santos vs. Teixeira
Thiago Santos, TKO, R2
I hate how people acted like Glover beating the PISS out of Anthony was a surprise. Anthony is a ******* punching bag with a few knockouts. On to the fight. Thiago is more explosive, but Glover has improved as he’s gotten older. Weird. Glover needs to get this fight to the ground or Thiago will run across the ring with crazy hooks and finish him. Thiago has 2 rounds to win this fight, or Glover will drown him into deep waters. Tough fight to pick. But leaning with the younger and more terrifying man out of the two,

Arlovski vs. Boser
Tanner Boser, DEC
Andrei having a tiny bit of a career resurgence, but Tanner is more technical and will pick apart out of prime Andrei with low kicks and jabs. Andrei will lose 30-27 on all cards, and his legs will look purple af the end of 15 rather dull moments.

Barcelos vs. Taha
Raoni Barcelos, TKO, R1
Very tough fight to pick man. Going with Raoni.

Heinisch vs. Allen
Brendan Allen, DEC
This will be JUST like the Omari fight. Stop giving Ian big names and huge prospects like Brendan and let him fight some bums. We have already seen he can NOT handle top 15 level dudes like Derek, and Omari, and Brendan is better on the ground than both of them. Brendan will take him down and land ground and pound and Ian will lose by Decision. This fight is more predictable than a **** narrative

Gadelha vs. Yan
Xiaonan Yan, SUB, R3
Claudia has **** cardio and she’s fighting the queen of cardio. Yan is already better to begin with, but this cardio advantage will allow her to get a dominant late finish. I’m on the wild side so probably an armbar.

Giles vs. Lewis
Trevin Giles, DEC
Fight between two bums in this division who will never make it to the top 15. Trevin has good hands and power, so maybe a flash KO, 1-2, in round 1. Or a decision. I don’t give a ****.

Rogério de Lima vs. Romanov
Alexander Romanov, TKO, R2
Romanov will have a tougher task than a guy named Roque who stops by Burger King everyday, but he still will get a takedown and finish with ground and pound. Don’t sleep on Marcos though. He’s a stepping stone, but he has power and is very capable of winning here.

Elkins vs. Garagorri
Eduardo Garagorri, SUB, R1
Eduardo is going to take Darren down and beat the living hell out of him then grab the back and choke him out. Darren will go to sleep because he’s tough.

Griffin vs. Brahimaj
Max Griffin, DEC
Max has more heart and grit and cardio. Will probably win by Decision.

Santos vs. Teixeira
Glover Teixeira, TKO, R2
Glover's a fun dude but he's had some favourable stylistic matchups that have padded his recent run a tad. Marreta is a explosive and will look to put him away early.

Arlovski vs. Boser
Tanner Boser, DEC
As much as I like Arlovski, I can't see him contending with the handspeed of Boser. I don't think he will be KO'd however. 30-27 Boser.

Barcelos vs. Taha
Raoni Barcelos, SUB, R2
A seriously fun bantamweight scrap between two guys who finish at a high clip. I like Raoni by rare sub here.

Heinisch vs. Allen
Brendan Allen, DEC
Allen 30-27. Expecting him to ragdoll Heinisch who is always a decent litmus test for up and coming fighters.

Gadelha vs. Yan
Xiaonan Yan, DEC
Xiaonan is no joke. She's relentless and won't allow Gadelha to cruise like she often does. Expecting a high calibre fight but Xiaonan to come out on top 29-28.

Chikadze vs. Simmons
Giga Chikadze, TKO, R2
I think Giga finally gets his first, all-elusive UFC finish.

Giles vs. Lewis
Bevon Lewis, DEC
While Trevin has flaws in his ground game, he's luckily matching up against a guy who will stand with him. The unfortunate side is Bevon's handspeed carries some serious weight and I don't see Giles outlanding him. 29-28 Lewis.

Rogério de Lima vs. Romanov
Alexander Romanov, TKO, R1
Romanov by ragdoll G&P.

Elkins vs. Garagorri
Eduardo Garagorri, DEC
This has FOTN written all over it.

Griffin vs. Brahimaj
Ramiz Brahimaj, SUB, R2
Another sub to the record!

Santos vs. Teixeira
Thiago Santos, TKO, R2
Santos will be back with a huge win this weekend. I expect that he is fully recovered and will take time to adjust and make the necessary reads in the 1st round. Santos is explosive and picks his shots really well.. also, very intelligent in knowing when to go for the kill unlike Smith who just threw everything he had in the 1st round and was gassed badly. Santos via 2nd round KO. I see Glover beating Santos by taking him down which is easier said than done as Santos is stronger and bigger than him. Glover has had a good run of 4 fight win streak but sadly it ends this weekend.

Arlovski vs. Boser
Tanner Boser, TKO, R2
Both fighters goes to the judges scorecard a lot but the smaller cage will be a bonus for Boser to KO/TKO Arlovski.

Barcelos vs. Taha
Raoni Barcelos, SUB, R1
Barcelos takes him down when they are dry, Taha tries to scramble but Barcelos has already got his back and submits him.

Gadelha vs. Yan
Xiaonan Yan, DEC
It's time for Yan to get her due share of opportunity to challenge tougher opponents and ultimately a title shot, after she defeats Gadelha by a dominant decision Victory. Yan's cardio and output will be too much for Gadelha.

Chikadze vs. Simmons
Giga Chikadze, TKO, R1
Giga via TKO/KO due to a body kick straight to the liver. Giga is live for a highlight reel KO finish here.

Giles vs. Lewis
Bevon Lewis, DEC
Picking Lewis only cos Giles seems to be more focused on being a police officer than in his MMA career. And during this pandemic, Giles might have hardly got the time to train as he's a first responder.

Rogério de Lima vs. Romanov
Alexander Romanov, TKO, R1
Romanov was a former sumo wrestler so he should have no problem in picking up Lima and slamming him to the ground and either Ground & pound or find a submission. Romanov also fights intelligently by going to his strong suit wrestling rather than stand and strike.

Griffin vs. Brahimaj
Ramiz Brahimaj, SUB, R1
There is a first for everything which means Max is gonna get submitted by Brahimaj early in the fight.
