Ray Cooper III, SUB, R1
Going out on a limb, I think Cooper rocks him and chokes him out because Ponet won't go to sleep the old fashioned way

As a Canadian, seeing how ******* abysmal Canadian MMA has been as of late, I'd love a Rory win. But I feel like a lot of people are counting Millender out when they maybe shouldn't.
Rory MacDonald looked very uninspired throughout a good amount of his Bellator run leading to his eventual exit. He's hinted at retirement at least 5x in the past 3 years or so. He's clearly not 100% committed to MMA. Not that I blame him, and I also don't blame him for taking a shot at $1 million in PFL. But it's worth taking that into consideration.
He looked pretty uninspired a year and half - two years ago, but I guess we'll see how he looks now. Maybe he'll be revitalized. Millender himself used to be a lethal finisher, and I think that version of Millender upsets the 2018 - 2019 version of Rory MacDonald. But Millender has fallen back quite a bit a well and lost to a few guys that imo he's clearly better fighters than. Namely Sabah Homasi.
So this fight is a total toss-up imo. Picking Millender for the potential at an upset, but I think that Rory may decision him if Millender fights the way he has been fighting lately.
Excited to see Ray Cooper III and Aleksakhin back in there, though. Two really good fighters that don't get enough love.

You are right about the time/commentary,
but i can understand it (they are a 'smaller' promotion, plus the 'new commentetor', they want to give it a little more)!

I would much rather ride with the red king who's actually beaten credible opponents recently.
rather than millender who has never been anyone ever and has lost every big fight he's ever had.
I personally think Millender sucks bad. like Awful, like terrible, like ****. I will give him credit that he gave Sabah troubles...and sabah recently gave paul daley a great fight.
but I will never ever vouch for that butt for a brain fighter. ever.
i'll take alex caceres to beat millender

is under on ray cooper at plus money, under on antonio carlos junior, and possibly chris camozzi or the over on that fight. I do lean emiliano sordi but he is not as big or as in shape as camozzi.

Rory MacDonald, SUB, R2
In the last week of the PFL we got many upsets like the victory of Collard vs. Pettis or that past season champs Lance Palmer and Nathan Schulte were surprised by newcomers Marcin Held and Bubba Jenkins, but to believe that Curtis Millender has a chance against Rory MacDonald seems like an exaggeration to me. Millender is just a flying knee spammer. He doesn't have dangerous boxing, he doesn't have good takedown defense, he doesn't have great distance control, he can't defend himself once he's on the ground. Rory MacDonald is not the same as before but I see him doing a fight similar to the one he did vs. Paul Daley: dodging punches, getting takedowns and getting a submission in the second round. I'm not saying that Rory MacDonald ends up being the PFL champion of the season or that he can't be surprised by tournament fighters like Magomedkerimov or even Kunchenko, but I'm sure Millender has 0 chances to win tonight.
Júnior vs. Lawlor
Antônio Carlos Júnior, SUB, R1
If there is any chance of an upset happening, this is the fight with the highest chance. Tom Lawlor has always been characterized by having a good takedown defense, while Cara Do Sapato has had a hard time landing takedowns in his last fights. For my pick I have in mind that despite the aforementioned aspect at some point in the first round, Antonio Carlos Junior will cut the distance and after taking Lawlor to the ground and controlling Lawlor he will be able to get the rear-naked choke, but the possibilities that Lawlor will maintain the He fights standing up for most of the fight and that at the end of the round he manages to take the scorecards (29-28 x3) is a very real possibility, since it is practically what happened in the last 3 defeats of the Brazilian.

i know MMA Math is ridiculed but I think the Giant will win by being too big.
