Prediction Comments
Predictions: 2 of 7 Winners, 1 Perfect, 125 Points | Tied for 3891st
Gilbert Burns, DEC
I really like Burns and think he has a lot to offer on the feet and on the ground to make it competitive.
Barber vs. Grasso
Alexa Grasso, DEC
Alexa is more technical and Maycee is more of a brawler. Alexa is also fresher than Maycee, so I see this going to a decision for Alexa.
Weidman vs. Hall II
Uriah Hall, DEC
Weidman is a solid fighter, but I think Uriah Hall will edge it out.
Gastelum vs. Heinisch
Ian Heinisch
I think Heinisch will surprise people; he's a strong fighter.
Viana vs. Martin
Mallory Martin, DEC
Both have great ground game, but I think Mallory will be more aggressive to win out a decision.
Robertson vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, DEC
I think if Miranda can keep it on the feet, her striking will win her a decision.

Weidman vs. Hall II
Uriah Hall, KO, R1
We know for a fact that Hall can be gunshy but we also know for a fact that Weidman fights with what can only be described as a styrofoam chin. Unless Weidman can find a way to get Hall on the ground I believe Hall knocks him out early.
Marquez vs. Pitolo
Julian Marquez, DEC
Julian Marquez is a fighter with a granite chin that has been on a layoff since he tore his Latissimus Dorsi back in 2018, in fact Marquez hasn't fought in 953 days since the tear. He is facing an opponent in Maki Pitolo that has had mixed results in the UFC to put it mildly, most recently losing to Impa Kasanganay and Darren Stewart. To put their level of competition in pure numbers, Marquez has won ~78% of the time against opponents with winning records (average 70% when they met him) while his opponent only has won 65% of the time with similar records. I don't have much of a developed opinion because there isn't much else good to say about this fight.

Pedro Munhoz, DEC
This card has some good fights (this one is really fun for exemple, Munhoz is amazing to watch) but it needs something more. Usman vs Burns are both tremendous fighters, and I hope it's a well rounded MMA battle, but it can absolutely be a frustrating clinch battle for 5 rounds. Hall vs Weidman 2 is kinda fun but really low stakes for a co main. Gastelum vs Heinisch is a intriguing top 15 clash, Vieira is a talent to watch and Marquez vs Pitolo will probably be a chaotic slugfest, but it needs something bigger. I don't know, Masvidal Vs Covington would've been perfect on the co main. Or at least replace Barber vs Grasso in the main card by something fun and silly, like a Michel Pereira spinning fight !

I think pitolo wins a close decision due to volume and efficacy.
I chose Saparbek Safarov to beat Marquez due to styles but this fight is quite close.
If marquez didn't take time off and had injuries, I think he'd be an easy pick.
Maki isn't easy pickings for a comeback fight....and he does have coconut bombz

Usman vs Burn could be fun as I have Gilbert finishes Usman early but it could be **** if Usman wins by avoiding the fight,

It seems inevitable it will hit the mat and Gillian surely should be the dominant one when that happens.
She should be able to find a sub or keep up with the scrambles until she ends up on top.

My mind and soul says Hall.
But I wanna see Weidman wrestle the **** out of Hall so they can both retire.
