Prediction Comments

Predictions: 8 of 10 Winners, 3 Perfect, 475 Points   |   Tied for 347th

Usman vs. Burns
Kamaru Usman, DEC
standard pick i assume, having a hard time seeing burns hurt usman enough to unbalance his game.

Barber vs. Grasso
Alexa Grasso, DEC
certainly possible barber's aggression puts her in top position, but i'm thinking grasso's movement will allow her to sprawl and choose her shots.

Gastelum vs. Heinisch
Kelvin Gastelum, DEC
definitely looks like a bounceback for kelvin.

Green vs. Miller
Bobby Green, DEC
will be interesting to see if bobby can keep himself upright and off the cage, at range i'd have to think he has the advantage.

Marquez vs. Pitolo
Julian Marquez, TKO, R2
not sold on marquez as some freak ko artist, but pitolo has been inconsistent at best so i'll say that continues.

Vieira vs. Hernandez
Rodolfo Vieira, SUB, R1
standard pick of the night i see. someone is gonna test vieira standing one day, but idk if fluffy will be the guy.

Lima vs. Muhammad
Belal Muhammad
everyone seems to agree that this looks to be a lopsided matchup where belal should control wherever it goes.

Viana vs. Martin
Mallory Martin, DEC
martin could get clipped and jump into a sub, but otherwise i kinda expect her forward pressure to dictate the fight.

Ewell vs. Gutierrez
Chris Gutierrez, TKO, R2
another popular pick i'm sure. gutierrez by calf kicks?

Simón vs. Kelleher
Ricky Simón, SUB, R2
i'll get a little spicy here and say simon submits kelleher. just feeling like his pressure will be too much and his gas tank will hold.

Green vs. Rowe
Gabe Green, TKO, R2
rowe's only decent is over a guy green beat faster and in between that dude was fighting 0-1 rookies to rebuild himself. i'll take green inside the distance.

Miranda Maverick, DEC
hate picking all favorites, feels wrong, but i think robertson is gonna be stuck fishing for sweeps/subs off her back.

Thank God, I hope Green gets hospitalized.
Dude is a bum.
I'll find out what hospital he's at and pay him an unfriendly visit.

@DamienHandel420

I'm with you there, I'm certainly not paying for it when there have been several better Fight Night cards. Sorry Dana but if you want us to pay for it then make the events worth our money.

Green vs Rowe prediction

Predictions: 2 of 4 Winners, 1 Perfect, 125 Points   |   Tied for 3891st

I'm going with Rowe to win because Rowe looks like he's two weight classes bigger than Green.
