Predictions: 11 of 15 Winners, 4 Perfect, 690 Points   |   Tied for 206th

Yan vs. Sterling
Petr Yan, DEC
Currently looks like I got the best betting odds on Petr Yan -107 a couple days ago. He opened -145, dropped slowly to -107 and now we’re seeing a buyback on Yan who is currently -120. We’ll see what he closes at tomorrow night but looks like I got some great closing line value (CLV) as I’m expecting Yan to close -140 or more. The CLV won’t matter if Yan doesn’t win the fight.

Błachowicz vs. Adesanya
Jan Błachowicz, SUB, R3
I just like Jan better, though Izzy just is super good. (also i had a dream where this fight plays out very similary to SOnnen vs Silva 1 so make of that what you will)

Nunes vs. Anderson
Amanda Nunes, SUB, R1
I just Nunes is a different level (I will be putting a cheeky one on Anderson though)

Yan vs. Sterling
Aljamain Sterling, SUB, R1
I really like both of these two, i think Sterling has more ways to win and has fought better competiton than Yan.

Makhachev vs. Dober
Islam Makhachev, SUB, R1
I like Dober but he is kinda weak on the ground and i see Makachev exploiting this

Santos vs. Rakić
Aleksandar Rakić, DEC
super close fight

Phillips vs. Song
Yadong Song, TKO, R2
i like Phillips and i like Yadong, i like Yadong more

Benavidez vs. Askarov
Askar Askarov, DEC
Benavidez is coming off the beating of a life time, he was always known for being tricky to hold down, and Askar needs to take him down or he is at a significant disadvantage, this is a really tough fight for both but i think im going to go with

Kara-France vs. Bontorin
Rogério Bontorin, SUB, R1
not entirely sold on France Bontorin has a clear grappling advantage.

Appreciate it mate, hahaha I’m sure you’ll get used to the accent, yeah feel free to give some feedback, as @Loganarsenal said they were a bit rushed as we desperately wanted to start with some fights on this card as it’s quality! But looking to improve and tighten them up in the future!

im taking anderson by 4th round ko. i know this position is nearly un-defensible according to most. but when i hear any fighter calling themselves the greatest ever it puts me off my feed. to say you are trying to build a legacy is one thing. to say outright that you are the best female fighter ever turns my stomach. she is ripe for the taking if she goes in thinking she cant be beat, i think megan is the perfect foil for amanda nunes and i think james krause is on a roll right now and will have the right game plan going into the fight.

Gotta give it to Lemos. It looks like Souza is more interested in video games; We'll see.
