Prediction Comments

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 590 Points   |   Tied for 204th

Overeem vs. Volkov
Alexander Volkov, TKO, R4
Oh the Reem, he says he wants one more go. But what will he do when he does get it? Lose to a low-key cardio machine like Volkov. Reem has to get this done quick, or he's gonna be in for a really rough distance.

Sandhagen vs. Edgar
Cory Sandhagen, DEC
Hmm...... Weird seeing Cory so valued here. Edgar can make this fight reaaaal competitive, as long as he doesn't spend too much time striking with him. Cory can enter a state that is hard to compete with, and that can get him ahead, or Edgar out of there.

Johnson vs. Guida
Clay Guida, DEC
....So I've had my fair share of knowing that MJ is no longer UFC material. But yet Clay is STILL an underdog to this guy? Nah, I'm gonna give this one to Clay. MJ has not, and will not improve his ground game. It's the biggest problem with him. Clay can expose that, and more.

Pantoja vs. Kape
Alexandre Pantoja, SUB, R3
Oooh man. I was liking what Kape is about in Rizin, but then looking at the big picture here, Pantoja is not just a test; The frigging guy is like a Midterm Exam to some prospects. Can Kape earn the A+? I don't think he can.

Ferreira vs. Dariush II
Diego Ferreira, DEC
...God, both of these guys fought already, and have been dark horses for a while. I'll give the lean to Diego. He appears to have a much more complete skillset to win with. Benny can slow down when the finish isn't there.

Rosa vs. Edwards
Karol Rosa, DEC
Rosa all day. You're getting Edwards from 3 weeks ago. Can't be moving too fast in MMA.

McCann vs. Procópio
Lara Procópio, DEC
Gonna actually give Lara a chance. She looked good against Rosa. Gotta respect the ladies going hard on a uphill battle.

Zalal vs. Choi
Youssef Zalal, DEC
Tough call. Really tough. Gonna give it to Zalal; The layoff for Choi could be the difference.

Militant New Predictions

Predictions: 6 of 10 Winners, 2 Perfect, 350 Points   |   Tied for 2398th

Johnson vs. Guida
I have got Michael Johnson at -225. He has a jaunty fallaway moonsault slam and a fabulous scissors sweep and also a sassy side kick to the throat. Johnson will likely guess the ring announcer.

Zalal vs. Choi
I have a crush on Youssef Zalal at -245. He has a militant uppercut. Zalal is about to damage the cycle.

Overeem vs. Volkov
I can't get enough of Alexander Volkov at -200. He has an odd knife hand block and a ultimate jab and also a talented touch of death. Volkov could best the cycle.

Osbourne vs. Rivera
I prefer Ode Osbourne at -210. He has a twisted back mount. Osbourne could lock the adversary.

Valiev vs. Day
I am all about Timur Valiev at -370. He has a weak character. Valiev is gonna impair the adversary.

Rodriguez vs. Marques
I am with Mike Rodriguez at -245. He has a brackish hammerfist and a weak randleplex. Rodriguez might bury the senses. No question!

Rosa vs. Edwards
I am sniffing Karol Rosa at -245. She has a zesty inverted facelock. Rosa shall undermine the cycle. No question!

Jaynes vs. Smith
I have got Devonte Smith at -300. He has an eccentric head coach. Smith can grapple the cutman. Clearly!

Sandhagen vs. Edgar
I want Cory Sandhagen at -400. He has a killer indian deathlock and a ultrasonic attitude. Sandhagen could prove the foe.

McCann vs. Procópio
I can't get enough of Molly McCann at -150. She has a hypersonic mounted elbow drop and a scintillating dim mak. McCann shall seize the previous pitfalls. Clearly!

@Tap867 great write up, excellent analysis and I feel that you will be close with your predictions... If Michael Johnson can keep the fight standing and striking, I think he beats Guida though... That fight is all about applying the right tactics, combined with who has taken the most amount of unrepairable damage over the years in the Fight Game... Personally, I just think Guida's age will go against him and Michael Johnson can definitely whack with those fists of his 🤑🤔🥊👊👍

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 555 Points   |   Tied for 338th

Overeem vs. Volkov
Alexander Volkov, TKO, R4
I was leaning towards Overeem all week but seeing him at weigh-ins, doesnt look like his in top form right now. Plus the weight and height advantages of Drago I see him finishing this fight early. Rd4 ground and pound.

Sandhagen vs. Edgar
Frankie Edgar, DEC
I am not a financial advisor.

Johnson vs. Guida
Clay Guida, TKO, R1
If he doesnt finish early in the first with autist rage then hell lose by decision.

Pantoja vs. Kape
Manel Kape, TKO, R2
Clearly in much better shape lets gooooo boiiiiiii

Ferreira vs. Dariush II
Beneil Dariush, DEC
50/50 here

Rodriguez vs. Marques
Danilo Marques, DEC
My god is this guy either hot or cold. Last time i bet him cold and lost so lets try this again.

Jaynes vs. Smith
Devonte Smith, TKO, R3
Yo i dont think this will be as one-sided so i really dont feel confident in my pick.

Rosa vs. Edwards
Karol Rosa, DEC
Hype train is over for Panama now that shes go some real UFC competition.

McCann vs. Procópio
Molly McCann, DEC
Yeah.....

Zalal vs. Choi
Seung Woo Choi, DEC
Hes got the build of korean zombie but i dont know if he has the chin. If so hell take the distance and hold underdog win.

Valiev vs. Day
Timur Valiev, TKO, R1
Very one sided but when its your time to go its your time.

Osbourne vs. Rivera
Ode Osbourne, DEC
Yeah i feel good about this one and its probably going to be an intense fight.

@TARTARA...Fair play with your response just now, but to call 12 KO's / TKO's between UFC calibre fighters in a 12 bout Fightcard is gonna need the fighters to fall into a Computer Game for the evening... I like your version of Montal Kombat fella... Thanks for the follow 🤑🤔🥊👊👍

You're right Hyde. You are, but.....

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 590 Points   |   Tied for 204th

You could apply that same argument for his last three fights, but we have yet to see Johnson come through with his striking to bring a finish. He was on his way to beating Emmett until…. Boom.

So the question now becomes, when will we see it? Tonight? Clay hasn't been smashed since Ortega, and Ortega was reading him the whole time. Johnson prefers to brawl......

I totally get your point on planning things out, but the plan can go out the window when you're in a bad position scrambling to keep yourself in favor to win. MJ has been there more than I have fingers, and he's failed me almost every time. It's time to embrace change, and I just don't think it's on his side.
