Rory MacDonald, DEC
Weird fight, but why not. Tibau is still a decent fighter, and Macdonald is in a strange place right now, and if this can get him his last chance at competing for a belt, so be it..

I always try to remember a rhyme when this pick comes up. Vinny is chinny...

I like Aleksakhin chancee here. He does not seems easy to KO and when he dont get the KO Cooper3 generally lost the fight.

Camozzi showed he has the heart after going the distance with Sordi.

Rory MacDonald, DEC
Would have been a cool fight in their prime but Rory is shot at 30 and Glis is 38 expect a boring rory spam strike decision. if it goes to the ground rory wil lose to a lightweight.
Ferreira vs. Camozzi
Cezar Ferreira, SUB, R2
Toss up if the grapplers grapples he will win, if they stay standing chris could win not sure how gone he is at 34.
Magomedkerimov vs. Millender
Magomed Magomedkerimov, SUB, R1
Oh hes the world Champ..with a 96 point asterix
Sy vs. Kunchenko
Alexey Kunchenko, TKO, R1
Firefight!

Rory MacDonald, DEC
Rory looked good af in his last fight! But Gleison's not gonna be that easy to sub. Probably 30-27 decision
Cooper III vs. Aleksakhin
Ray Cooper III, DEC
Alekshakhin's been on a tear, and in the past few years has only struggled a bit with the highest level wrestlers. I think he gets a decision here, but could get the knockout
Júnior vs. Magalhães
Antônio Carlos Júnior, DEC
I think Vinny gives Shoeface a little trouble on the ground, so I'm not picking him to win by sub, but, I do think he wins the fight
Zeferino vs. Ponet
João Zeferino, SUB, R1
11 out of Ponet's 13 losses are by sub. He won't survive a round against Zeferino who trains out of Renzo Gracie Academy.

Magomed Magomedkerimov, DEC
Not surprised 58% are saying Magomed by sub. Could be...
Lawlor vs. Young
Jordan Young, DEC
Surprised the votes are so far apart here. Tom Lawlor is a good wrestler, and got subbed by a high level black belt in Antonio Carlos Junior. I don't think he'll get subbed by Jordan Young, and to be honest, I think he might even win a round. I definitely thought about picking Lawlor to win it, but decided not to. Might change it though

Rory MacDonald, SUB, R1
MacDonald went out and made Millender look like a ******* chump in his last fight, which is not easy to do. Tibau is dangerous but he's slowed down a lot and his only truly dangerous weapon still is his jiu jitsu, but Rory has never been submitted. This is a lot to write for a 97% consensus pick, I guess.
Cooper III vs. Aleksakhin
Ray Cooper III, TKO, R1
USA USA USA
Sordi vs. Spohn
Emiliano Sordi, TKO, R1
I hope Spohn wins so he can get back on track, but this is the sensible pick for sure.
Ferreira vs. Camozzi
Cezar Ferreira, SUB, R1
Steamroll to arm triangle
Júnior vs. Magalhães
Antônio Carlos Júnior, SUB, R1
Vinny's been losing a lot of grappling matches lately, not a good sign
Nielsen vs. Hendricks
Cory Hendricks, DEC
Hendricks is at a better gym
Lawlor vs. Young
Jordan Young, SUB, R1
steamroll to arm triangle
Sy vs. Kunchenko
Alexey Kunchenko, DEC
