Knight does have, quite literally, the worst striking defense in the division.

Predictions: 3 of 9 Winners, 1 Perfect, 175 Points   |   Tied for 3035th

Lawrence vs. Cachero
Ronnie Lawrence, DEC
Lawrence is the more dynamic striker and the better wrestler, he should get takedowns to secure the decision or finish Cachero whose shown a vulnerability to wrestlers. His low basic striking puts him at odds for to win a decision if it doesn't hit the mat.

Predictions: 4 of 9 Winners, 2 Perfect, 250 Points   |   Tied for 1956th

Rozenstruik vs. Gane
Ciryl Gane, SUB, R4
I pick Gane but -300? What the hell? This is very evenly matched.

Krylov vs. Ankalaev
Nikita Krylov, DEC
I actually love Nikita as an underdog here.

De La Rosa vs. Bueno Silva
Montana De La Rosa, DEC
I feel like this matchup has happened a hundred times before. I don’t care.

Munhoz vs. Rivera II
Jimmie Rivera, DEC
Rivera mixes it up better. He was arguably outboxing Yan. Munhoz needs to catch him or gilly him to win.

Caceres vs. Croom
Alex Caceres, DEC
Picking Alex because I think he will pick Croom apart and win on the scorecards.

Hernandez vs. Moisés
Thiago Moisés, DEC
Moises will take it to Alexander and win a decision. I was impressed he could beat someone like Green.

Hill vs. Yoder II
Angela Hill, DEC
Yoder is just ****. I hope she wins though because I hate Hill.

Davis vs. Mazo
Sabina Mazo, TKO, R1
Davis was a good fighter but she had her time. Mazo is the new blood this division needs.

Menifield vs. Knight
William Knight, DEC
Bad matchup for Alonzo. Will is just much stronger and much better all around.

Jacoby vs. Grishin
Maxim Grishin
IDK how Maxim will win. But I think he will.

Rozenstruik vs. Gane
Ciryl Gane, SUB, R4
Rozenstruck +220 , Gane -285

Not touching the Gane line because 74% impled probobilty. So you have to give him about 80% and I'm not giving any unproven heavyweight near that agaist such a dangerous opponent . Gane is more well rounded and from what I seen could do what Alistair did to Rozenstruck, Out husle him for a decsion. but the Rozenstruck by Ko is +300 or 25%. So It not bad Odds because the line is pretty steep

gane vs rozensturik

Predictions: 2 of 9 Winners, 0 Perfect, 100 Points   |   Tied for 3476th

rozensturik by ko/tko round 2 or 3. gane has fought nothing but cans basically, jds is the only name on his resume worth mentioning and hes toast these days. while rozenstruik has ko'd arlovski, overeem and jds. you cant hold the loss to francis against him. lewis pulled off the upset and i see rozensturik doing the same thing. with over 75 kickboxing fights and something like 65 ko's the experience will be way too much for an untested gane.

Predictions: 5 of 9 Winners, 2 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 946th

Rozenstruik vs. Gane
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R3
Gane is WAYYYYYY too big a favourite here!!!! This is gonna be a Kickboxing match, Jairzinho has 100 kickboxing fights(80 KO's) Gane has less than 10??! Not saying Gane can't /won't win but the odds should be even IMO

Krylov vs. Ankalaev
Nikita Krylov, SUB, R2
Nicky Thrills for the win!!!!!!

Munhoz vs. Rivera II
Jimmie Rivera, DEC
This is the best fight on the card. Rivera too technical, Munoz too hittable

Caceres vs. Croom
Kevin Croom, SUB, R1
I like this guy.. Highlight of the interview "How can I **** a Hooker legally but its illegal for me to smoke weed and fight??" Ha.

vs. Moisés
Thiago Moisés, TKO, R2
I will always pick Hernandez to lose by KO after that Cowboy build up

Hill vs. Yoder II
Ashley Yoder, DEC
Angela Hill as a near 4 to 1 favourite has Split decision loss written all over it!!!

Menifield vs. Knight
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R1
Remember when people thought Menifield was a future title contender?

@Rapid.... Huh?

No Knight's striking defense statistics are literally the worst. The best at LH was actually Phil Davis if I remember correctly. Now it's probably Jon Jones or some ********.

Clinch is a position, not a statistic.

The ones that I'm most unsure about are Menifield/Knight and Jacoby/Grishin. Otherwise, I feel pretty good about these.

The average number of strikes his opponents have thrown as compared to the number of strikes that land on his body.

Striking Defense = 100%(StrikesLanded / StrikesThrown)

Mikey, I don't see the main event as a kickboxing match. I see it as a match between two good strikers, one of whom has shown an aptitude for transitioning to the submission game. That's how I see this thing going down. 

I agree that the betting line is obscene, though.

Honestly Welsh guy I don't think this is the card for you. Only safe bet on the whole card IMO is Croom. But even then, I wouldn't tell you to bet on it cuz the return wouldn't be worth it.

good value underdogs are Croom, Jair, and Krylov. Stay safe and have fun. Don’t waste too much money because these fights are even. Yoder May also be a good prop for her price.
