Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 505 Points   |   678th Place

Edwards vs. Chimaev
Leon Edwards, DEC
Bye bye hype train.

Thompson vs. Neal
Stephen Thompson, DEC
Wonderboy can get knocked the **** out here but I think he's a much better striker, and 3 rounds should favor him. Could end up a war tho.

Moraes vs. Font
Marlon Moraes, DEC
Font can easily knock him out on the feet but I think Moraes will be able to edge it out. He's still a T5 elite BW imo.

Easy? I think not. Edwards lost to usman and rat lip can employ a similar strategy to defeat Edwards also. I say hype train not ending yet. And an inevitable confrontation with usman.

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 6 Perfect, 525 Points   |   Tied for 557th

Edwards vs. Chimaev
Khamzat Chimaev, TKO, R3
One of the best main event fights in a while. 50 50 for me. Either Leon picks apart Khamzat for 5 rounds with elbows and clinch work or Khamzat drags the fight to the ground and finishes with ground and pound. I pick the latter.

Thompson vs. Neal
Stephen Thompson, DEC
Stephen will put on a clinic like the Luque fight. This card is real nice for a free card. He may even finish Geoff. All I know is, Stephen is miles ahead when it comes to kicking, and footwork.

Moraes vs. Font
Marlon Moraes, TKO, R2
VERY fun fight. If Marlon shows up, I expect a switch kick finish.

Muhammad vs. Lima
Belal Muhammad, DEC
Belal is going to outpace him. Lima will lose on all cards.

Nam vs. Schnell
Tyson Nam, TKO, R3
Matt is good on the ground. Tyson is pretty good on the feet and has KO power, but he is a can crusher who can't handle top 15. Leaning Nam by KO.

Bel will win by decision but nothing is 100 percent in mma, being the tough guy only last so long then you get kod easy.

It could either way

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 6 Perfect, 550 Points   |   Tied for 348th

Ok, so we all agree that this a HUGE step up for Chimaev, I mean he's gone from John Phillips who I think didn't know he could grapple until he lost to Chimaev, to some Irish guy, then Gerald, and the 3rd ranked welterweight in the ufc. But this fight isn't like if some other prospect fighting a highly ranked fighter, Chimaev is legit as **** dude. But Leon is also really good, so I don't think it will be a washout for either guy. I think Chimaev is gonna take the first 2 rounds, and if his cardio fails, then Edwards is gonna take the last 3. But I do think the stand up would be like the first round of Kenny Vs Wood, it's not one sided but you still know who's winning. 

Or I could be completely wrong and Leon gets subed in the 2nd round or Chimaev looks like a child. Which I feel like is gonna happen because I'm always wrong.

Also if you read this whole thing I'm so sorry for how poorly it's put together, my dyslexia real ****s me sometimes.

Cirkunov gonna eat Spann, lets be honest

Rodriguez vs. Zahabi
Drako Rodriguez, DEC
Probably the newcomer, young blood gonna come hungry and get the Dec

Kianzad vs. Eubanks
Sijara Eubanks, DEC
Just based on others people's picks I realized Eubanks ain't bad. Kianzad, I'm pretty sure, is a can. Eubanks dec.

Wonder what the line for Drako Rodriguez by murder will be? That's a very favorable matchup.

Cirkunov win by sub or lost by KO and Span is not a power puncher so I think Cirkunov got it.
Kianzad-Eubank is as close as a fight could be on paper. I go with the younger girl.

I doubt this marlon will get a finish either but he should win, at 145 I would favor Aldo.

Aldo vs. Vera
José Aldo, DEC
I just came. This already stacked free card is becoming PPV worthy. People are counting Jose out. Even if he is washed, he still is top tier. Vera is a beast but I think Jose gets the better of him after 15 minutes with leg kicks and combos.

Cirkunov vs. Spann
Misha Cirkunov, SUB, R2
Misha will submit Ryan. Arm triangle or triangle.
