I hate this fight for the following reason. I love Watching Geoff Neal and been his fan since the contender series. And Thompson is going to knock him out. If Vicente Luque's technical boxing had nothing for Thompson's unorthodox style, then Neal will be in deep trouble.

I said RUMORED idiot. Not official. Quit bullying me for no reason. We’ll see who’s laughing when Kevin Holland beats Chimeav.

Stoked to watch the debutants on this week's card, as with four DWCS alum featured on the undercard not sure what I'm most looking forward to see. We got some seasoned vets in former LFA Flyweight champ Jimmy Flick who was slated to fight two weeks ago and three-time DWCS participant Jamie Pickett, the latter of whom faces fellow middleweight newcomer Tafon Nchukwi whose got bricks for hands. Then we've got 24-year old Drako Rodriguez who just knows how to entertain and finish fights, this card's really got it all and I'm hoping COVID doesn't do us dirty yet again.

I’m so mad that Phillip didn’t get a fight this year, was really looking forward to seeing him get back in there

After re-thinking it,  I change m'y pick for the main event. I was first thinking of Thompson by decision in a technical fight but he is 37 and looked slower in is last 2 fight then before. Neal is young hungry and he is a finisher. Wath happen 4 time out of 5 when young lion face old wolf? Neal ITD make sens at this point.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 6 of 8 Winners, 3 Perfect, 390 Points   |   Tied for 1821st

Thompson vs. Neal
Geoff Neal, TKO, R2
I just have a vision of Neal finding Wonderboy's chin and TKO

Aldo vs. Vera
José Aldo, DEC
Precision, technique, and experience. (-150) take my money

Pereira vs. Williams
Michel Pereira, DEC
Pereira looked superb in his fight vs Imadaev, seems he has thrown all of the antics & theatrics out of his game. Not quite sold on Khaos yet, I knew Alhassan was dead meat vs Khaos the moment I saw him weigh in

Moraes vs. Font
Rob Font, TKO, R2
Upset incoming. I envision reach playing a big factor here knowing the 2 fighting styles

Tybura vs. Hardy
Greg Hardy, TKO, R1
Meh

Robertson vs. Santos
Taila Santos, TKO, R1
Gillian's only path to victory is getting Santos to the ground and I don't see that happening vs Santos. Santos gonna go to work here

Pettis vs. Morono
Anthony Pettis, DEC
Not impressed with Morono beating Rhys McKee

Muhammad vs. Lima
Belal Muhammad, DEC
Remember the Name

Nchukwi vs. Pickett
Tafon Nchukwi, TKO, R1
Pickett will have to pick his face up off the canvas
