@Hyrm-Not sure he's good? Askarov could beat him? You've lost your mind buddy.
Guys I'm not sure Khabib is that good..... I think Bobby Green could beat him.

Fish is right Fig has not given anyone a reason to think that he wont go out and dominate like hes been doing over and over.
The champs are the champs for a reason. People reached for Gaethje to beat Khabib...people reached for Costa to beat Izzy...Fig is championship level and this aint even a test.

Deiveson Figueiredo, SUB, R2
パワーが違いすぎてモレノはテイクダウンを使う必要がある。サブミッションにかからずにテイクダウンできるならモレノにチャンスあり。
Ferguson vs. Oliveira
Tony Ferguson, DEC
オリベイラが勝つにはテイクダウン能力、パワー、カウンター能力が少しずつ足りない。ファーガソンがワンツーやミドルでペースを掴むはず。
Dern vs. Jandiroba
Mackenzie Dern, DEC
テイクダウンできなかてもダーンがローを軸に打撃で勝てると予想。ジャンディローバーはテイクダウンしてコントロールする必要があるが、リスクが高い。
Holland vs. Souza
Kevin Holland, TKO, R3
ジャカレイは最近5試合で1回しか相手をテイクダウンできていない。後半ペースが落ちたときにローにホランドの左のカウンターが合うと思う。
dos Santos vs. Gane
Ciryl Gane, TKO, R1
サントスが一番苦手なタイプだと思う。サントスがジャブ防げず壁に追い詰められKOされると思う。
Swanson vs. Pineda
Daniel Pineda, SUB, R2
ピネダがテイクダウンできるかどうかにかかっている。恐らくピネダのフィジカルならテイクダウンからギロチンなどでタップを取れると思う。
Moicano vs. Fiziev
Rafael Fiziev, DEC
フィジエフの方がパワーで上回っており、モイカノを押しながら試合できそう。フィジエフのスタミナ次第。
Quarantillo vs. Tucker
Gavin Tucker, DEC
テクニックがタッカーの方が優位。タッカーのスタミナ次第。
Hooper vs. Barrett
Peter Barrett, DEC
フッパーはテイクダウンしないといけないが、テイクダウン能力が低すぎる。バーレットの方がレスリングがよく、打撃でもいいと予想。

Deiveson Figueiredo, TKO, R2
Moreno standup isn't technical.. he loops his punches and throws wild haymakers with a left kick to finish the combo. Figueiredo will pick his shots and Knock out Moreno while Moreno's wild punches will miss the target. Figueiredo will be champ for sometime. The only type of fighter to beat Figueiredo is someone like Mighty mouse who can wrestle and takedown Figueiredo, control the top position, staying busy, and to be aware of not getting submitted. I can't see Moreno being able to do that. Figueiredo via 2nd round KO/TKO
Ferguson vs. Oliveira
Tony Ferguson, TKO, R2
This is a 50/50 fight. First of all, Tony gets dropped a lot in almost all of his fights, then recovers quickly and goes on to win the Fight. If Oliveira can drop Ferguson, before he could recover, Olivera can synch up a guillotine and submit Tony. On the other hand, Tony will bring the pace at such a level that Like all his other opponents, Oliveira might get overwhelmed and the volume and the pressure might be too much for him. Ferguson via 2nd round Doctor's stoppage.
Dern vs. Jandiroba
Virna Jandiroba, DEC
Fiziev vs Moicano should have been on the main card.
Holland vs. Souza
Kevin Holland, DEC
Holland should easily win if he maintains distance, uses his long reach, stay on the outside, and stop the takedowns. Holland might be very ready for takedown defense that I feel that he will fight smart by staying outside and winning via decision. But again it's Holland who grapples with grapplers so we never know. Wouldn't be surprised if Jacare submits him.
dos Santos vs. Gane
Ciryl Gane, TKO, R2
Gane is the brightest prospect in the heavyweight division. A heavyweight fighter who doesn't have one punch KO power but relies on accurate, volume striking, mixing in elbows, knees , punches , kicks not only to the head but to the body !!! Damn.. he can really mix it up well. JDS can't fight going backwards, doesn't like being pressured. Gane will move forward, overwhelm JDS with his volume up against the fence until the ref stops the fight.
Swanson vs. Pineda
Daniel Pineda, SUB, R3
Pineda looked really good against an upcoming fighter in Herbert Burns and finished him as a heavy underdog. His cardio looked amazing for someone who was dishing out that much volume !! Cub is coming off of major injuries, is on his way out and lots of question marks. Swanson has been submitted like 6 times.. so I believe that Pineda will get the openings if he decides to takedown Cub.
Moicano vs. Fiziev
Rafael Fiziev, DEC
This is going to be one hell of a fight.. both fighters throw a huge amount of significant strikes per minute.. Fiziev's body kicks are nasty, and his matrix like reflex is the main reason why I believe Moicano won't be able to land more than him. If it goes to the mat, a huge advantage for Moicano but Fiziev is short and stocky for the division so his takedown defense is solid. His takedown defense is 100% in ufc. Fiziev to stop the takedown and win via decision. FOTN candidate for sure.
Quarantillo vs. Tucker
Billy Quarantillo, TKO, R3
Quarantillo is the better overall fighter. But his biggest advantage is his cardio and his relentless push even in the final rounds that wins him the fight. Could easily see Tucker coming out strong going for the KO but Quarantillo gas a good chin and Tucker winning the 1st round. He has used too much energy and by 3rd round, Quarantillo is still coming forward and pushing an insane pace until he gets a stoppage victory.
Hooper vs. Barrett
Chase Hooper, SUB, R1
Barrett's body language at the weigh ins looked bad... Got the low energy vibe. He has been submitted before so Hopper should able to submit him.
