Conor McGregor, TKO, R2
I hate Conor McGregor as a person and I really hope he loses and it's entirely possible that Dustin Poirier can win this if he survives the first 2 or 3 rounds due to McGregor's cardio issues but I can just see McGregor overpowering him in this fight. I hope I'm wrong though.
Hooker vs. Chandler
Dan Hooker, DEC
Michael Chandler will be well prepared for his debut but Dan Hooker is just too good for him IMO.
Eye vs. Calderwood
Jessica Eye, DEC
Could go either way.
Rodriguez vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
Mrs Handel gets the win.
Tsarukyan vs. Haqparast
Nasrat Haqparast, DEC
Nasrat Haqparast has a good chance of getting an upset IMO.
Tavares vs. Júnior
Brad Tavares, DEC
I've got a sneaky feeling that this one could end up being FOTN. I don't exactly why but my gut is telling me that this is gonna be good!
McMann vs. Peña
Sara McMann, SUB, R2
Sara McMann deserves a lot more praise than she gets for still being a top level fighter who is entertaining at 40 and I feel that she's still got a bit more to show us as well.
Rountree vs. Prachnio
Khalil Rountree, TKO, R1
It's just a question of how long Marcin Prachnio can survive as far as I'm concerned.
Sanchez vs. Muradov
Andrew Sanchez, DEC
He's looked good so far in the UFC but I'm still not 100% sold on Makhmud Muradov.
Lentz vs. Evloev
Movsar Evloev, DEC
Movsar Evloev winning a decision victory seems like the most obvious outcome as far as I'm concerned.
Albazi vs. Zhumagulov
Amir Albazi, SUB, R3
Again, this is just my gut telling me that Amir Albazi will find some kind of choke late in the fight.

Jessica Eye, DEC
Suprise so many people are picking Calderwood, She sucked and im suprise so many people thouht she beat Jennifer Maia, Eye fought for the belt agaist Valintina in a close fight, Untill a flukey headkick landed. She the best but people hate her for some reason, Kick some ass for me Jessica, Woof Woof Woof
Rountree vs. Prachnio
Khalil Rountree, SUB, R3
Rumer has it, That Khalil has been training in Dagestan, You all were impress with Muay Thai Khalil, But now you gonna be impress with Khali Nurmagmedov. Takedown after takedown with not alot of ground control until the 3rd round when he get him with a sub
Sanchez vs. Muradov
Andrew Sanchez, TKO, R1
Not a joke, Haven't really been impress with Makhmood, He should of sleept Trevon alot earlier then he did. Big fan of Sanchez just for the nickname of dirty sanchez. Andrew gonna ko him and give Makmood a Dirty Sanchez

Eye went 5 losses in a row, even losing to Bethe Correia. Went on a 3 fight win streak (2 being split decision wins), Valentina had her in serious trouble in the first round and then landed one of the most violent head kicks in women's history in the 2nd.
And Calderwood got submitted by Maia in the first round, that's her kryptonite. She hot or cold. Eye has only finished 2 opponents in her entire career, that 2nd as far back as 2012. When it comes down to striking, Calderwood is better on paper.
We'll see in the Octagon, but I will agree Calderwood shouldn't be that much favored. It's a coin flip for me. And the bout is near even on odds.

Anybody dumb enough to wrestle a bear even a cub carries the scars.
Khab won't even be able to beat 170 wrestlers that is why he cuts so much to get to 155 come one.
Damn how much **** talking I gotta do to level up!?!?!?!?!?
