On your other picks, Barber is a good pick, I also have her. Grasso is very good on the stand up, probably one of the best in the division, but her ground game is quite frankly horrible. Barber's ground game is nothing to take note of truly, but she had a decent camp I'm sure they must have worked on the ground game to take Grasso down because that's where Grasso completely fails at. Of course Grasso could just lit Barber up on the feet, however Barber is a good striker herself. Either lady could win, but for an underdog pick Barber's very solid.
I'm not really feeling the Viana pick, in her past performances her defense wasn't all that great, and Martin's isn't either, however Viana takes damage in her matches, got dropped by Cifers of all people. Mallory Martin has pretty good striking, trains at Elevation. Viana sticking out her chin all the time is definitely not a great thing for this matchup, but hey people improve so if you like the Viana pick go for it.
I already gave my piece on the Pitolo vs Marquez, I like Pitolo in this one, I am in the minority and it's a really close one so go with your guts.
Green vs Rowe is definitely a banger fight, definitely wouldn't bet on it. Could go either way. Possible sneaky FOTN if main event doesn't deliver.

Kamaru Usman, DEC
I can’t see Kamaru being beaten rn. Burns has the recipe w his wrestling and striking skills, but is he at the level Usman is? I don’t believe so. I think it goes the distance, Kamaru 49-46.
Barber vs. Grasso
Maycee Barber, TKO, R2
Big comeback for Barber here, TKO Rd 2.
Marquez vs. Pitolo
Maki Pitolo, TKO, R3
Why not, Pitolo Rd 2 TKO.
Viana vs. Martin
Mallory Martin, TKO, R2
I think Martin has good striking, and will dominate on the feet for 2 rounds before finishing her.
Green vs. Rowe
Philip Rowe, TKO, R2
Rowe by KO!
Robertson vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, TKO, R2
Gillian Robertson is tough, which is why this win will be so impressive for Maverick. She gets this win, she’s well on her way!
Green vs. Miller
Bobby Green, DEC
Mean Bobby Green! Veteran fight, should be a good one.
Lima vs. Muhammad
Belal Muhammad, DEC
Love this fight. Bully B!

Ricky Simón, DEC
There is a decent chance of Kelleher pulling off an upset with a guillotine but not enough to change my pick. Might be worth a small bet though, Kelleher inside the distance or by submission if the odds are +350 or better.

Gilbert Burns, TKO, R1
I think im picking burns more out of hope then anything, find Usman to be really boring,And I want Welterweight to have another fun champion because Beside Robbie Lawler, Welterweight haven't had fun champs since like 2008.Another fact is that last year, No champship belt changed hand, Only Vacant belt were won, So I think it gonna balance out this year, With a lot of champs losing belts

Maycee Barber, TKO, R3
Barber is one of the few ladies who have power in the women division, It probley the best thing to have in the Women division TBH, I think Barber is gonna be a whole lot better because she had a year off at 22, Barber also seem like a women who works her ass off t0
Marquez vs. Pitolo
Julian Marquez, TKO, R1
Pitalo isn't good so I don't think it worth the risk of Marqez looking terrible after 2 and a 1/2 years off, going of memory from the same card Isreal fought Taveres, Marquz doesn't look half bad with good stand up and great chokes
Gastelum vs. Heinisch
Kelvin Gastelum, TKO, R2
I have no idea how this fight gonna go tbh, Gastulum "should win this fight" because he probley better everywhere beside Takedown defence. But I don't trust him because he look dog **** in his last 2 fights
Ewell vs. Gutierrez
Chris Gutierrez, TKO, R3
Calf kick, Calf kick, Calf kick, Drop Dead
Viana vs. Martin
Polyana Viana, DEC
Don't care both suck, Picking Viana because the Billy Joels song is really good
Green vs. Rowe
Philip Rowe, DEC
Who the FOOK are these Guys
Vieira vs. Hernandez
Rodolfo Vieira, SUB, R1
Viera should win this, Not -400 confendent in him, Think the odds are inflented but I don't want to bet on Hernadez either because I think he will lose
Robertson vs. Maverick
Gillian Robertson, SUB, R2
Don't know what to think of Maverick,Most fighter would kick Joijua ass
Simón vs. Kelleher
Brian Kelleher, TKO, R2
I think Kelleher hit hand and if Faber can knock him out, Kelleher can,
Green vs. Miller
Jim Miller, DEC
Bobby Green losses alot and I Like the odds on Miller at +205 because this fight is gonna be close
Lima vs. Muhammad
Belal Muhammad, DEC
Don't get why they bother making this fight TBH, Give Muhamed someone good, Hes ranked in the top 15 and you giving him Diego Lima, Wasted of time
