My point Ngannou is who? Who is out there saying, "Bet the house on [Marquez, Barber, Guttierez] because they are a lock?"

The closest thing I can find is me saying that Marquez SHOULD be a lock because I always fade Pitolo. Which is followed up by immediately saying that the only thing I'm sure of is that one of em is gonna get KO'd. Which is why I called your post a "hot-take." Nobody is out here on a high horse shouting that these guys are "locks" it's just normal tap talk, "So and so should be the favorite" "I think they are gonna win this way" "I think this underdog has a chance" and etc. You're acting like there's a flood of Barber/Marques/Guttierez ****riders who took out a loan to bet on them.

Barber vs. Grasso
Alexa Grasso, DEC
Oh you think Maycee is gonna bounce back from her embarrassing loss because the UFC is putting her in the Co-main? Think again, and look for Alexa to kick the crap out of this broad.

Gastelum vs. Heinisch
Kelvin Gastelum, DEC
Gastellum can't lose 4 in a row can he?

Usman vs. Burns
Kamaru Usman, DEC
As a fan, I hope I'm wrong.

Barber vs. Grasso
Maycee Barber, TKO, R2
I think the Barber hype train gets back on track after the Roxy debacle.

Vieira vs. Hernandez
Rodolfo Vieira, SUB, R1
Only concern is if Vieira decides he wants to prove that he's not just a bjj guy and spends a long time striking.

Well said man 👍! 

It is your opinion, and i respect it even more than mine! 
Do not count the downvotes!
The are haters who just hate to hate! If they really had something to say to you, they would answer either positively or negatively! 
But from what we see easier to hide behind a negative button! 
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express what i have been thinking for a long time! 
Thumb up, follow and challenge from me, man!
Have a nice day!

@TARTARA

I agree 100%! People who downvote predictions comments are losers. the only time I use the downvote button is for when someone is going out of their way to be an arsehole, I don't mean just general trolling, I mean constantly trying to piss off other other people for no reason. I never even downvoted @MMAFORTUNETELLER because he at least gave us some good laughs at his expense.

@Rapid Burns got koed by Dan Hooker, ok? Hooker is miles ahead of Usman in striking not to mention that was an entirely different weightclass

Green vs. Rowe
Gabe Green, TKO, R2
Philip Rowe looked huge. If size mattered, Struve would be a champion

This card is absolutely NOT stack. Only one title fight and 0 other significant fight. Barber-Grasso is the co-main and I think its the best choice according to the other fight on the card. I dont understand why its PPV.

@Stephen Terry

I agree 100%! 
Thank you!
It is one thing to just make fun of each other, 
and another to drop it on someone who is "supposed" to be "alone" or "new"! 
That's why i call you GOAT! Ha ha ha!

I changed my parlay from what I stated earlier in the thread, lets see if it pays off ;).
Keeping it a secret for now will reveal if I fail or win during fight night.

I'm not the GOAT, I just try to help out where I can. The more experienced users were really welcoming to me when I first joined and I'm simply trying to pay it forward!
