I think Zhalgas has the experience to grab this one. Juuuust needs to make it competitive.

I actually see this going either way. Both men get cracked, both men want out, but one one wins.

Dan Hooker, TKO, R3
Going to use distance to pick apart bellator and clean it up by the 3rd.
Sanchez vs. Muradov
Makhmud Muradov, DEC
Dirty Sanchez hangin in there for the underdog win.
Rodriguez vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
Shes very happy to be here, so she at least gets the participation trophy.
Tsarukyan vs. Frevola
Arman Tsarukyan, DEC
Go with the oddsmakers on this one.
Tavares vs. Júnior
Antônio Carlos Júnior, SUB, R3
Im leaning towards the experienced BBJ belt but this could go either way.
Rountree vs. Prachnio
Khalil Rountree, TKO, R2
Rountree looks more athletic and has the knockout power, but for some reason im not too confident in this pick.
Lentz vs. Evloev
Movsar Evloev, TKO, R1
My round 1 TKO pick on the card. Comrade wants smoke after multiple delays and is definitely not on PEDs.
Albazi vs. Zhumagulov
Amir Albazi, SUB, R2

Conor McGregor, TKO, R2
first emotional hedge. dustin just seems content to be there and seems willing to go trade again. not a good strategy for fighting conor.
Hooker vs. Chandler
Michael Chandler, DEC
underdog of the night for me. hooker gets hit pretty hard in all of his fights and i don't expect chandler to be wasting time trading so it'll be shots into level changes pretty relentlessly. division is in a weird spot if hooker wins though.
Eye vs. Calderwood
Jessica Eye, DEC
another emotional hedge, although i don't see why she couldn't win this fight on the ground.
Sanchez vs. Muradov
Makhmud Muradov, TKO, R2
sanchez always looks a worldbeater in r1, but i'm expecting muradov to weather the early storm, stay upright, and clip sanchez once his hands start to lower.
Rodriguez vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, SUB, R1
screw it, by my own rules i need to pick one sub and this seems the most likely to me. marina has faced better competition overall, but i'm gonna roll with the hype on this one and say ribas is ready for a top 5 matchup after.
Tsarukyan vs. Frevola
Arman Tsarukyan, DEC
won't be surprised if frevola can turn some heads considering arman's weight issue because he's a true grit type of fighter, but i still feel like arman should be able to keep it technical and fight from the outside.
Tavares vs. Júnior
Brad Tavares, DEC
brad has never been submitted and would figure to have the clinch work to avoid being taken down.
McMann vs. Peña
Sara McMann, DEC
never know what you'll get with mcmann but i feel like pena's tendency to rush in will result in sara getting to show off her wrestling again and i think she has more power in her punches.
Rountree vs. Prachnio
Khalil Rountree, TKO, R1
can't help but think this is a bad matchup for prachnio considering he's coming off 3 ko losses in a row.
Lentz vs. Evloev
Movsar Evloev, DEC
seems set up to be a passable test for movsar so i agree with the consensus.
Albazi vs. Zhumagulov
Amir Albazi, DEC
tough call right out the gates. zhalgas can wrestle, but i'm concerned that could play into where albazi wants the fight to take place.

Dustin Poirier, DEC
Ok hear me out. The consensus is assuming a 1 round sweep like they did the first time, Dana wants Connor to win to setup the Khabib rematch$$$$. But lets be real allot has changed. First off, were not looking at Ebola Connor, this is COVID Connor – Its not the same person. He hasn’t had any competition since Khabib and has had nothing but distractions since then: wealth is distracting, nasty legal issues and now 3 kids. Also, he feeds on hype and crowd energy, he wont have that for this bout (2000 fans is basically empty). Plus hes fighting the #1 contender in the weight class, lets stop acting like Diamond is a nobody, if 155 wasn’t so stacked he would easily have the title. Plus these two are facing eachother like seasoned pros, no **** talking all hugs and kisses. I got my parley on Diamond.
