So you're saying his only losses since 2016 were in championship fights, which is a sign he's slowing down? I'm not following that logic at all, sounds to me like he only loses to the absolute best and will probably be PFL champion at the end of this year.

Wow you post reeks of passive aggressive. And dude I didn't call 2021 Rory McDonald bad, I said he's slowing down and they're a difference. I don't know if you know this , but slowing down means that they're not what they once were. And Rory Mcdonald 2012-2018 was a great fighter, Dude beat Douglas Lima, Demian Maia, Tyrun Woodly and was 3-1 up in the greatest fight off all time against Robbie Lawlor. Honesly saying Rory not slowing down is more of an insults, Basically saying a 42 year old Fitch who now retired, Would draw with the Rory McDonald  who fought Lawler, And last point, Dude clearly beat Lima the first time out, and lost clearly in the rematch, Isn't that the defination of slowing down

Tl:dr Rory Mcdonald is still a decent or good fighter, But not Rory in his heyday. Thus he is slowing down. It's sad how many people don't know the meaning of slowing down, Underated and overated

yes he is slowing down,
no he wont loose tomorrow because he have an easy fight.

May not beau Aleshaskin if they meet in the series,
Certainly wont beat Magomedsharipov if he find a way to get himself in the series.

Agree with the duck. He can still be past his prime with his best days behind him and still win the PFL championship. I think the mental toll on MacDonald's wars in the cage were alot and the age of 31 is irrelevant because everyone burns out differently

Did nobody see Sadibou Sy's last fight? Was kicking the russian's ass then he found a way out with a eye poke. Gimme a tall striker with half way decent takedown defense as a HUGE underdog.

Cooper III vs. Aleksakhin
Nikolay Aleksakhin, DEC
Little surprised that Cooper isn't the betting favourite here

Ferreira vs. Camozzi
Cezar Ferreira, DEC
If Sordi couldn't KO Camozzi then no way Mutante does (incoming 10 second head kick KO). I kinda want to pick Camozzi here! Also, Mutante is 100% back on the TRTitor diet!!!!

Amoral New Predictions

Predictions: 2 of 10 Winners, 0 Perfect, 100 Points   |   Tied for 820th

Cooper III vs. Aleksakhin
I believe in Nikolay Aleksakhin at -145. He has a genuine vulcan nerve pinch. Aleksakhin won't warp the foe.

Sordi vs. Spohn
I am going with Emiliano Sordi at -400. He has a gauche overhand and a kinky armpit slam. Sordi is about to wrestle the senses.

Ferreira vs. Camozzi
I am all over Cezar Ferreira at -350. He has a lame inverted atomic drop. Ferreira will likely victimize the bandit. Done!

Júnior vs. Magalhães
I am loyal to Antônio Carlos Júnior at -270. He has a lascivious anaconda. Júnior is about to bully the deed.

Sy vs. Kunchenko
I finger Alexey Kunchenko at -165. He has an automatic touch of death. Kunchenko isn't about to whack the cake.

Lawlor vs. Young
I go with Jordan Young at -440. He has a captivating demeanor. Young is gonna escape the opposing forces.

Magomedkerimov vs. Millender
I am going with Magomed Magomedkerimov at -1250. He has an accurate lapel choke. Magomedkerimov might perform the cycle.

Zeferino vs. Ponet
I lean towards João Zeferino at -455. He has a bonkers anaconda. Zeferino will likely captivate the rival.

Nielsen vs. Hendricks
I am taking Marthin Hamlet Nielsen at -300. He has a kosher ouchi gaeshi. Nielsen can balance the counteragent.

MacDonald vs. Tibau
I go with Rory MacDonald at -950. He has a laudable omoplata. MacDonald might highlight the underdog.

MacDonald vs. Tibau
Rory MacDonald, DEC
Yeah.... I see Rory winning this easy, if he shows up.

Cooper III vs. Aleksakhin
Nikolay Aleksakhin, TKO, R3
Cooper is really banking on the wrestling to win fights lately, and man, the bad weight cut, cardio issues.... I think Nikolay is here to play.

Sordi vs. Spohn
Emiliano Sordi, TKO, R1
Looks like another victory for He-Man.

Ferreira vs. Camozzi

Cezar juuuust needs to not get reckless. Then we are good.

Júnior vs. Magalhães

Nielsen vs. Hendricks
Marthin Hamlet Nielsen, SUB, R2
Hmm..... Interesting one. One has big wrestling and grappling, and another has freakish power. I'll take skills over kills, but this could be dangerous.....

Zeferino vs. Ponet
João Zeferino, SUB, R2
If Zeffy can understand, and use his grappling, he wins. No debate.

Magomedkerimov vs. Millender
Magomed Magomedkerimov, SUB, R1
Although it is really strange why the Russian said no to two opportunities for the million, he should win this easy....

Lawlor vs. Young
Jordan Young, SUB, R2
Yeah.... Don't think MMA is Tom's thing anymore....
