Predictions: 6 of 10 Winners, 2 Perfect, 420 Points | Tied for 2374th
Uriah Hall, TKO, R1
Hall has been a bust for the most part when I don't fade him. But a 45 year old Silva on the way out is someone I can't lay chalk on.
Mitchell vs. Fili
Bryce Mitchell, SUB, R1
Picking up where he left off against Rosa.
Muradov vs. Holland
Makhmud Muradov, TKO, R2
immigrant mentality.
Hardy vs. Greene
Greg Hardy, SUB, R2
Hardy uses garbage time against an exhausted and mentally checked out Maurice Green to display his "submission game" he's been working on. Although it's ugly in technique and to the eyes it'll still get a tap from Greene. OOOOOOOOH the irony.
Green vs. Moisés
Bobby Green, TKO, R2
Bobby Green lands clean and just does enough to make Moises turtle up and follow's up with GnP.
Hernandez vs. Gruetzemacher
Alexander Hernandez, SUB, R1
Hernandez will be crushing people who he should be crushing until he sees ranked fighters again. Then fade him there.
Yanez vs. Rodriguez
Adrian Yanez, TKO, R1
Don't blink in this potential FOTN.
Casey vs. Cachoeira
Cortney Casey, SUB, R1
Zombie girl dives face first into her grave that is Casey's guard. Get's triangle choked/armbarred.

I'd put GSP and Khabib over Jones. Then it's Jones vs Silva for #3.

Adesanya will probably enter the GOAT discussion imminently.

There are some exceptions ( for example HW Boxers are currently pretty trash and none of them would have beaten the 90's greats like Holyfield, Lewis etc and they sure have **** wouldn't have beaten guys like Ali, Foreman,Shavers and Frazier in their primes) but yeah, that is just the way the universe tends to bend. A question I like to ask in GOAT discussions is not only whether so and so old timer would have beaten the current champ, but if they had the same access to training, drugs, diets, facilities etc if that would happen.
It's no different than swimming or any other athletic contest. That's why world records get broken all the time. It's a continuum. Today's GOATS are, 99% of the time, going to be eclipsed. Even debutante UFC fighters are generally far more skilled than the majority of Champs and top 5'ers who ruled the roost as little as ten years ago.

Not you, Sub (boredom) R3.
You know, I'm starting to believe that Shelby is a member of this forum, reads my predictions, and is very successfully trolling me. This fight--which really everybody wants as much as they do a flotsam bandaid sticking to their upper lip whilst swimming in a public pool, is going to be worse than drinking a cup of tahini with pubes stirred through it.

Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 590 Points | Tied for 844th
Kevin Holland, DEC
I picked Holland via Decision, but Muradov could very well get the win here. I expect Holland to be his ****y self, and I don't know if that is gonna fly here. If Holland is ****y and gets the win and does it convincingly, he definitely moves up my rankings into the Real Deal Territory.
Hardy vs. Greene
Greg Hardy, TKO, R2
I like Hardy to be patient in the 1st round and deliver the KO blow in round 2
Green vs. Moisés
Thiago Moisés, SUB, R2
I like Green very much, but something is just screaming to me that Moises gets ahold of that neck somehow someway
Hernandez vs. Gruetzemacher
Alexander Hernandez, TKO, R2
I think Hernandez gets through a tough 1st round and puts Gritz away in round 2
Yanez vs. Rodriguez
Adrian Yanez, TKO, R1
Yanez comes out with alot of momentum and alot to prove. He delivers. KO round 1
Strickland vs. Marshman
Sean Strickland, SUB, R2
Back and forth round 1, Strickland gets the Sub in round 2
Jacoby vs. Ledet
Justin Ledet, DEC
Ledet outlasts Jacoby's best shots and takes the Unanimous Decision
Casey vs. Cachoeira
Cortney Casey, SUB, R1
Casey gets the Armbar early, or gets slept. Not a whole lot of confidence either way
Johns vs. Natividad
Kevin Natividad, TKO, R2
Johns comes out firing in round 1, Natividad withstands, listens to his corner, drops Johns round 2

Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 555 Points | Tied for 1206th
Uriah Hall, DEC
I think this pick is quite obvious.. Anderson Silva is way past his prime. In fact, he probably should have retired years ago. This could easily be a finish by Hall as well but he is a counter puncher and I have a feeling this will be a fight with very little volume. Between Hall's lack of aggression and Silva's age, it's a poor main event as nothing is on the line... usually main events are either title fights or at least two contenders duking it out. This one will be a 25 minute snooze. Sureness: 80%
Mitchell vs. Fili
Bryce Mitchell, SUB, R2
Fili has a lot of experience and is a good fighter but Thug Nasty is crazy talented on the ground. I'm calling Thug Nasty dominating R1 with his ground game and then doing the same in R2, getting the submission about halfway into the round. The only win condition I see for Fili is exercising excellent takedown defense and destroying Thug Nasty on the feet, but I doubt it. Sureness: 85%
Muradov vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, DEC
Muradov is a decent striker, throwing strong straight punches in all of his fights. However, he has never met someone as tall and slippery as Holland, who I believe will be a tough target for Muradov to land on. This will be a standup brawl consisting of Holland evading most of Muradov's offense and scoring some slick knees and elbows in the process. Even if it is a close call, the judges seem to always favour Holland. Sureness: 70%
Hardy vs. Greene
Greg Hardy, TKO, R2
I liked Greene a lot in TUF, but unfortunately he's just not a great fighter. He doesn't have a very good gas tank and he isn't impressive on the feet

Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 555 Points | Tied for 1206th
Bobby Green, DEC
This one is very simple. Green is simply better than Moises in every aspect of MMA. The only way Moises takes it is with a freak submission, but I won't be betting on that. Green outboxes and outworks Moises for 15 minutes. Sureness: 75%
Hernandez vs. Gruetzemacher
Chris Gruetzemacher, TKO, R3
Lol, honestly this pick comes down to a gut feeling. Hernandez is, in my personal opinion, overrated. He should've lost against Trinaldo and he's susceptible to being TKO'd. So, I think Gruetzemacher shocks everyone by causing the upset of the night. My prediction is that Hernandez gets overconfident after running circles around Gruetzemacher for two rounds, then he gets caught by a vicious elbow in the clinch R3. It probably won't happen, but there's always an upset and I just can't ignore my gut. Sureness: 51%
Yanez vs. Rodriguez
Adrian Yanez, DEC
I'm locked in on Yanez winning, I just can't decide between decision or TKO. I ultimately went with my gut and said that he wins via dominant division. We will see a very bloody Rodriguez by the end of this fight. Sureness: 95%
Strickland vs. Marshman
Sean Strickland, DEC
Both are boring boxers, so I'm pretty sure this will end up being similar to Breese vs Strickland except this time I think Strickland wins every round with ease. His boxing is simply better than Marshman's. Sureness: 80%
Witt vs. Williams
Jason Witt, DEC
I couldn't find much tape on either of these guys, but I think this either ends in a decision win for Witt or a KO for Williams. Witt has better skills but Williams has the power that causes upsets. Sureness: 60%
Jacoby vs. Ledet
Dustin Jacoby, DEC
Jacoby's standup is a thing of beauty. He runs circles around Ledet and gasses in R3 but Ledet fails to capitalise on it. Ledet's best shot here is finishing Jacoby after he gasses out. I think it's also possible for Jacoby to get an early finish. Sureness: 75%
Casey vs. Cachoeira
Cortney Casey, DEC
NGL, I didn't watch tape on either of these girls and just went with what everyone else was saying. Sureness: 55%
Johns vs. Natividad
Miles Johns, TKO, R1
I believe Johns has faced vastly better competition than Natividad and has crisper boxing. I know that most people are calling a decision but I have a feeling Natividad will underestimate Johns' power and get caught in the first minute or so. Sureness: 85%
