Predictions: 4 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 1828th

Holloway vs Kattar
Calvin Kattar, DEC
Honestly a pickem depending on mood but I can see the Boston Bird Boxer landing the harder strikes. Max has kicks but not Moicano esque stance changing leg kicks or pure outvolume Zabit spam types kicks, if there's a contender I can see beating Max off so many *****ing Volk robbed it's The Calv.

Simón vs. Kelleher
Brian Kelleher, DEC
Ricky is too inconsistent & Brian is prob better everyone.
What it's actually off??? AW

Vieira vs. Hernandez
Rodolfo Vieira, SUB, R1
Vieira has absolutely awful striking but...

Akhmedov vs. Breese
Omari Akhmedov, DEC
Sure Tom is a beast standing up when not gone forever via inactivity but I refuse to fall to the he lost to X guy trap when he hasn't beat anyone defining. I want Tom to win & be a contender that MW needs but I still remember Omari drawing with Vettori.

Ponzinibbio vs. Li
Santiago Ponzinibbio, DEC
Leech being tough & Ponzi's eternal delay to return makes this confidently not a finish but I will be genuinely be suprised if it still isn't a showcase for the MIA Argentian. 

Buckley vs. Di Chirico
Joaquin Buckley, TKO, R2
Regardless of if you think Buckley is the next breakout star or the most overrated man alive since that kick there's nothing Alessio does that makes me inspire any remote confidence in him.

Condit vs. Brown
Carlos Condit, TKO,R1
Everyone kept arguing for this fight in Brown's favor but it ends up that Matt is more shot by the time it comes. 

Tafa vs. Felipe
Felipe DEC
Typical hey look here's a mild HW name you remember for a KO trap.

Moras vs. Melo
Vanessa Melo, DEC
Knock knock. Who's there? W M M A.

Lentz vs. Grundy
Mike Grundy, DEC
Lentz's experience catching up is scaring me tho.

Correia vs. Wu
Yanan Wu, DEC
Bro you better be able to beat Betch lol.

I don't know about this one. Gonna lean towards Emeev; He seems to still have what it takes to run with this one.

Stinky, stinky fight. If I had to choose, it would be Wu. She appears to have more promise.

Tough call. I like Nik's ability to control when he gets people down. Gonna be interesting because Grundy does also.

Soriano vs. Todorović
Duško Todorović, SUB, R3
I'm actually lowkey impressed by Dusko. Sound striking (Minus the head movement), and promising grappling exchanges. Punahele is in for a rough night unless he catches Dusko early.

The Rodolpho fight is cancelled. The card needs to be updated.

Holloway vs. Kattar
Max Holloway, DEC
Very confident in Max here. Although he criticized Alex for outpointing him, Max is a decision fighter in his own right. This will be a match of points and Max has all the tools to win it. He grapples, kicks and can box. Even if Kattar is the better boxer, I've never even seen the dude throw a kick. Or go for a takedown for that matter. Thats might get you through Dan Ige but no sir not my Max.

Simón vs. Kelleher
Brian Kelleher, DEC
Does anyone trust Ricky Simon not to screw everything up here? He's got crazy reach advantage but not even -200. What if Kelleher comes out disciplined, calm, cool, and collected? Is Ricky gonna be able to break into his defense? I don't know, man. If he doesn't, he'll lose a decision.

@Tap watch Duskos fight on contender series, he has some great head movement

@TWJake When they say that there are no negotiated battles, I will never agree with this. When I watched Michel Pereira vs. Khaos Williams, I was sure that Williams had won. Of course, it's easy to say that the judges were wrong again. But winning the first round against Michel Pereira decides a lot. Whatever head Todorović has in victories

Holloway vs. Kattar
Max Holloway, DEC
Initially my gut feeling was Kattar, simply because he's on a win streak and Holloway has been having a rough time lately. But looking at the numbers on MMAFormGuide, and considering that Holloway has never been KO'd, the pick is for Holloway to do what he usually does and win with volume. He has the advantage in all striking numbers and an 83% TDD

I hope Li has industrial grade eye protection like he’s gonna be woodworking, it’s the only way to make it a fair fight. Ponz eye gouges more than Jon Jones
