Conor McGregor
Dustin will try to keep distance and land some leg kicks, but eventually Conor will find him with his kick or long body shots. Dustin may try to attempt taking Conor down, but he will find out that he can not. Conor will start inflicting serious damage to his head and dustin will start feeling dizzy then will get taken out at the end of the second.

the closer the fight gets the more I want to switch my prediction to Poirier. I picked Cerrone out of spite, thinking of picking Poirier maybe just for that alone again idk...(no $$ involved in my prediction)

Julianna Peña, DEC
BJJ>Wrestling is
Rountree vs. Prachnio
Khalil Rountree, TKO, R2
Marcin has been caught plus Khalil has good striking... Khalil inside the distance
Sanchez vs. Muradov
Makhmud Muradov, TKO, R2
Again just a better fighter all around
Lentz vs. Evloev
Movsar Evloev, TKO, R2
Easy pick. Much more skilled
Albazi vs. Zhumagulov
Amir Albazi, DEC
Albazi got the grappling advantage. Possibly a decision or submission

Conor McGregor, TKO, R2
If Dustin fights like he did last time, he's gonna lose, McGregor isn't gonna let him come back like Hooker did. Unfortunately I don't think Dustin will win this one.
Azaitar vs. Frevola
Ottman Azaitar, TKO, R2
Another good matchup for Azaitar, Frevola is too easy to hit and gets rocked/dropped in every fight. Ottman is gonna catch him if he gets wild.
Rountree vs. Prachnio
Khalil Rountree, TKO, R1
Great matchup for Rountree, he's very dangerous in the first round and Marcin's chin might be worse than Moreira's
