Prediction Comments
Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 6 Perfect, 680 Points | Tied for 45th with 1 other
Alistair Overeem, TKO, R3
Since moving to Elevation fight team Alistair have look increble and he 4-1 with them, He won every round vs Sakai because Sakai was punching arms for the early rounds. Survive Walt Harris knockdown something Overeem not know for doing. He only lost is to Rozenstuck in a fight where he was winning for 24 minute and 50 secounds. Volkov is gonna get outpointed by Overemm if he doesn't sleep him because Alistair is the most skilled heavyweight in the world and will out point him, I slighly lean outpointing him but Volkov can sleep him eazy
Reneau vs. Chiasson
Marion Reneau, DEC
Macy Chiasson ain't that great as she is one of Lina Lansberg very few wins in the UFC and Macy only beat the bottom of Women MMA like Sarah Moras in a close fight and Gina Mazany, Reneau is a way better fight with a advantage on the ground, Only worry is that Reneau is 43 so I avoid betting this unless it reach +200 for Renau
Ferreira vs. Dariush II
Beneil Dariush, DEC
Beneil Dariush is probley gonna win this fight because Benny just hits harder and I think the grappling will cancel out. Only worry is that Benny has chin Issue and he got wobble by at lest Dober and Klose, So Ferreira could sleep him but I think Carlos ain't the guy to do it
Pantoja vs. Kape
Manel Kape, DEC
Don't know, Picking the RIZEN champ but I think Kai Asakara was flukey agaist Kyoji, So Kape was the secound best flyweight in RIzen
Stamann vs. Ewell
Cody Stamann, DEC
Stamann should win this because he just way better at fighting, Stamman beat actully good fighter like Kelliher, Perez and kick Ya Dong Ass but the decsion was bought by the Chinise Goverment. And his loss are to Jimmie Rivera, And beside his chin, His lost are to the best fighter in the divison in Aljamain Sterling and to the second best fighter technique wise in Jimmie Rivera as Jimmie RIvera was kicking Yan ass for 4 minute of each round then ended up getting drop at the end of the round.Ewell Will get wresle **** for 3 round and Ewell haven't beaten anyone who decent
McCann vs. Procópio
Lara Procópio, DEC
Don't care but I think MCCann is overated, So taking the dog, Don't know who procopio is
Rodriguez vs. Marques
Mike Rodriguez, TKO, R1
Mike Rodriguez sucks as he can only beat give me wins like Marcin Pracnio and Adam Milstead. Danelo is a can so Rodriguez probley win this but Rodriguez should of also beaten Hermann so the line is pretty accurate
Johnson vs. Guida
Michael Johnson, DEC
Johnson is a fighter who look good in his fight and he should win but end up losing anyway, Don't think Guida Dangerous enough to make Johnson loss it tbh
Smith vs. da Silva
Alex da Silva, TKO, R1
Like da Silva hear as he look really good vs Riddel ,Smith went to sleep in his last fight
Osbourne vs. Bondar
Ode Osbourne, TKO, R1
Ukraine fighter can't really fight, Russian are way better, , Ode Osborn is not that great either, But better then any fighter from Ukrain, Or how Putin Call it Mykrain
Rosa vs. Edwards
Karol Rosa, DEC
Don't care, Both ain't great, Rosa is another Chookagain where they're do alot of nothing to win they're fight, Joselyne Kickboxing didn't look that great vs Wu so it hard to pick, Think Rosa gonna ******** her way to victory
Zalal vs. Choi
Youssef Zalal, DEC
Zalal is gonna beat South Korea number 1 fighter in Choi, Being 1-2 is still pretty impresive in the UFC, So hard fight for Zalal, But Zalal is decent but his win aren't super great but he look really good agaist Topuria
Valiev vs. Day
Timur Valiev, DEC
Set up fight, Day is on a 4 fight losing streak and Valiev last fight was a fluke lost as Valiev look really good for the whole fight .

Dear FBI
Russia is amazing. Such a beautiful country. They have great Vodka, I love a good Stoli vodka on the rocks. beautiful and strong women with the most gorgeous accents, who are not just sexy and tough as nails, badass fighters, boxers and mma fighters, and its always snowing and you can build igloos and snow angels. Beautiful architecture. Amazing Wrestlers and such a good military that Ukraine looked like a Junior varsity football team taking on the New England Patriots. They also saved Edward snowden, and that alone deserves a nobel peace prize. that poor guy got shafted hard by the NSA. Finally 2 words. Fedor Emelianenko. The goat Heavy weight himself

Now my most confident pick at amazing odds is Beneil Dariush.
also, I think it's difficult to see Overeem win this fight. He is one of the most talented and experienced heavyweights but I think KO is his only path to victory.
Olenik was old as hell and almost knocked him out.
I think Pavlovich is overrated, his record only looks nice.
Walt harris is a mediocre fighter and the fight should have been stopped in his favor.
Volkov is the biggest and scariest I ever seen him look.
Not even blaydes made it look easy...he actually did so bad that Dana White made fun of blaydes.
Meaning that Volkov did great against blaydes. I think Volkov by TKO is the only logical prediction here.
He has the size, reach, and age advantage.
no one has ever really had all 3 against the reem.

There have been fights in the past that were 100% staged or acted out.
There are 2 fights that always pop into my head that took place recently....
Usman vs Woodley
Colby vs Lawler
there is no way anyone can tell me that Robbie Lawler or Tyron Woodley are actual professional fighters when watching those fights. That looked like some WWE ****.

UFC fights are not fixed in anyway shape or form. The closest thing to a "fix" is lopsided matchmaking. For example, if a wrestler is fighting someone with bad takedown defense or a knockout artist is fighting someone with horrible standup then there will be an almost guaranteed outcome.
There is no one getting paid to take a dive in the UFC. If that was the case, Dustin Poirier would have went down vs. Conor McGregor but the exact opposite happened. Dustin winning that fight basically cost the UFC millions of dollars in future revenue.

How does a former champion comeback from the longest layoff of his career to score his first knockout in over 12 years?
Then how does the loser (Simon) get a step up in competition and face a ranked opponent in his next fight?
Faber spoke openly after his fight about all the "expenses" he has.
he paid to refurbish and expand his gym and get all new equipment, bought a few homes for real estate AND he also started producing movies which is quite costly even for low budget films.
Simon claimed he cancelled his wedding....for a fight....ONLY because he needed money???
Who cancels their arranged honeymoon/wedding that was already paid for? Obviously for a money grab.
Fabers odds were ridiculous that day, i don't even want to know how much faber by tko in round 1 was specifically....

This was shortly before the fight.
He talked how he took simon under his wing and were very close behind the scenes.
Might have even stated that they were roommates or lived together.....

If anyone owns an MMA gym, how costly is it to build, maintain and provide quality equipment?
If anyone has made produced and directed films, how costly is it?
To add the last kicker, do this all in the state of California of the U.S.A.
One of the most expensive states to live in.
meanwhile half the roster is complaining about fight pay.
things just don't add up, but that's just my wild opinion.

One key thing you are not getting is the fact that Urijah Faber is a former champion and is a VETERAN of the sport so he has a chance to win just like anyone has a chance to win. If Frankie Edgar wins next weekend, you think it will be because Sandhagen took a dive? Come on man.
Faber posts friendly images/videos of fellow fighters because he is one of the friendliest fighters in the sport who is on good terms with almost everyone in the sport.

Watch Rivera vs Faber or Yan vs Faber. He isn't a known hard puncher. He's a phenomenal wrestler fighter. he's never changed his style.
I know this is the fight game and anybody can get got...but you're speaking on Simon like he's a weak chinned punk. I never seen him rocked or hurt badly in his fights. He had a war with Font and Borg afterwards. He also had a great fight with Merab and Yahya beforehand.
You're right...I did lose my bets.
If Simon won, I would have won a couple grand.
Luckily, I realized it was a fake fight...so I won about 800 on Faber and Germaine parlayed.
