Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 450 Points | Tied for 1157th
Stephen Thompson, TKO, R4
I'm just going with the elusiveness and awkward angle kicks from Thompson to blind side Neal to get a finish or just cruise to a dec.
Aldo vs. Vera
José Aldo, TKO, R2
We saw the fuse just sizzle and begin smoking against Yan. The Aldo who we love to watch throw leg kicks will make an explosion this fight and get a finish by mixing it all together now. Who's lead leg is going to give out first this fight? Aldo doesn't get taken down. So this will take part in the striking dept where he has his edge. I think Aldo's feints and counter do the trick this match up.
Pereira vs. Williams
Michel Pereira, SUB, R2
He's going to wrestle**** Khaos into oblivion and tire him out. Then Pereira gets to play around and do circus **** until he tires out himself and grab a finish.
Moraes vs. Font
Marlon Moraes, DEC
Respeck has been put on Moraes name by bookies. Don't overthink it.
Robertson vs. Santos
Gillian Robertson, TKO, R2
Takes her down and gets that KO win she's been chasing or transitions to sub if she can't get the ref to step in via strikes.
Tybura vs. Hardy
Marcin Tybura, SUB, R2
Hardy does improve every time but c'mon I'm still not convinced he's a fighter. We seen what happened when he's not matched up with cans. Tybura is no can.
Pettis vs. Morono
Anthony Pettis, SUB, R2
Morono has success round 1 with his ground work and attempts to repeat it into round 2 where Pettis nabs up a submission of some sort off his back. Let's go with triangle choke. If Morono doesn't choose to shoot his legs/body gets eaten up.
Roberson vs. Lungiambula
Karl Roberson, DEC
Roberson if he fights smart. Maybe Lungiambula's aggression and pressure can allow him to land something on his chin and shut the lights out. But I see Roberson bringing out all the tools he possesses to nullify the punchers chance Dalcha got.
Flick vs. Durden
Jimmy Flick, SUB, R1
eh just a guess. Could get fk'd up and ko'd by Durden if it stays standing and doesn't go to the ground.
Glenn vs. Minus
Rick Glenn, DEC
Long as Glen comes in good shape he could grind this out.

Geoff Neal, DEC
I actually think Neal might not be the same after the them health problems, but wonderboy is reaching 38 years old. I dunno.
Flick vs. Durden
Jimmy Flick, SUB, R3
Leaning towards Flick. Not sure if Cody can handle a specialist.

Geoff Neal, TKO, R2
Straight left gets clips Wonderboy late in the second.
Pereira vs. Williams
Khaos Williams, TKO, R1
Too much thunder in Khaos’ hands. Might make a play on Williams by decision if the odds are suitable, though.
Moraes vs. Font
Rob Font, DEC
As a fellow Bald, I don’t like going against Moraes. Probably won’t bet this one.
Robertson vs. Santos
Gillian Robertson, DEC
Lady fights have not been kind to my bank roll lately. Might toss “The Savage” into a parlay.
Tybura vs. Hardy
Marcin Tybura, SUB, R3
**** Greg Hardy.
Pettis vs. Morono
Anthony Pettis, TKO, R1
“The Great White” will be too pale for Showtime. The bright lights that Morono sees will followed with questions involving the number of digits being held up. It’s three. Always three, Alex.
Kianzad vs. Eubanks
Pannie Kianzad, DEC
Pass (as a gambler). Should be quite evenly matched. Maybe a ‘fight goes the distance’ bet if it gets better than -200. Pannie’s promotional headshot here looks like she’s maybe an extra in the “Let’s Get Physical” video. Olivia Newton John, mijo. Look it up.
Roberson vs. Lungiambula
Dalcha Lungiambula, TKO, R1
I don’t even really know these dudes, honestly. But, I can’t be ******* with no ‘Baby K”’s when there’s MFs from the Congo called “Champion” fighting outta “Team Champion” involved. I’m absolutely betting on this and that’s really the reason.
Rodriguez vs. Zahabi
Drako Rodriguez, SUB, R2
“The Great Drakolini”. I’ll throw a couple of space dollars at that nickname alone. Also, “Iowa”. I assume that means “grappling”. I should do more research.
Nchukwi vs. Pickett
Tafon Nchukwi, TKO, R1
Keep thinking Nchukwi’s gonna gas out, but he hasn’t yet. Hard to bet against “Nightwolf”, though. I mean the nickname because I don’t know this dude. Ever see that Stallone movie “Nighthawk”. He dresses in drag in the final scene because he knew Ruettger Hauer (sp?) was going after her.
Flick vs. Durden
Jimmy Flick, SUB, R2
I know it rhymes, but if people call you “the Brick”, you dumb. I’ll be betting on him to cut off Tyler Durden’s little brother’s oxygen before he can wank into my chowder.
Glenn vs. Minus
Rick Glenn, DEC
Picking Glenn just because other dude missed the chance to call himself “Plus” Minus. If you miss low-hanging fruit like that I can’t bet on you. Also, calling yourself “Carlton” instead of “Carl”, as a fighter, seems a bit dramatic. If he wins and does “the Carlton”, then maybe.

Stephen Thompson, TKO, R3
I think unless Geoff Neal fluke Knockouts Wonderboy then he ain't wining this fight because Wonderboy weakness is he only can really counterfight so if his oppenent throw nothing then it one of those fight where Wonderboy land 5 and his oppentent lands 4 but his oppentent has the judging advantage because being champ or hometown decsion so he lose. Geoff Neal is probley not gonna fight like that so Wonderboy gonna school him like he did Masvidal and Luque
Pereira vs. Williams
Khaos Williams, TKO, R1
Khaos gonna kill Chealeader
Moraes vs. Font
Marlon Moraes, SUB, R1
Think Marlon gonna kick the **** out of Font legs and Font tought so I think he clubs and subs him. Font ain't nearly as tricky as Sandhagen or have a olympic gold medal like Triple C Henry Cejudo. This Is a good fight for Marlon if he still not to damamge from getting whealkick in the face
Robertson vs. Santos
Taila Santos, TKO, R1
Gillian is a quitter when a fight doesn't go her way and Talia is a computant grappler while being Brazzlian so I think Talia is gonna make her quit like Maycee and the other Brazzlian I forget her name and I don't care enogh to google seach it
Tybura vs. Hardy
Greg Hardy, DEC
Don't think Greg Hardy ain't a bad fighter and I would probley like him if he didn't hit his Misso becuase he alway want to fight. Think Hardy has been improving and he's 9-1 because the DQ loss was ******** and he was kicking Crowder ass anyway and he kick Ben Sosoli ass also. Hardy also look good agaist Volkov and a novice like Hardy would get a lot better in a year and Volkov will sleep Tybura
Winn vs. Arroyo
Antônio Arroyo, TKO, R2
Don't pick any fighter who 5 inchs shorter then me while being 20 kg heavier then me atlest walking around weight and Arroyo is 9 inches taller then Winn
Rodriguez vs. Zahabi
Drako Rodriguez, TKO, R1
Easy win to make contder guy look good
Nchukwi vs. Pickett
Tafon Nchukwi, TKO, R3
Easy win to make Contender series guy look good, But this fight could easly be one of the good ol Fashin conteder Series let down spot because Picket never been knock out before, And Tafon might not have the best Cardio and him being at a huge exprernce disadvantge
