Also, keeping it mma related: Mateusz Gamrot has an extremely high fight iq and I think he wins another decision in this fight by mixing it up and staying unpredictable. Holtzman is generally durable and Gamrot doesn’t hunt for finishes so I think it will go 15 minutes

Marvin Vettori, DEC
Vettori should win, Holland has the edge in power but everything is equal or Vettori has the advantage, Holland just fought a lesser version of Vettori in Brunson and got dominated, it does not make a lot of sense for Holland to win. Because of this i believe he has a strong chance to win.
Allen vs. Yusuff
Arnold Allen, DEC
Really good fight, really close fight, im leaning Allen thorough nationalism.
Khizriev vs. Daukaus
Kyle Daukaus, DEC
i like both, Khizriev looks really good but has not faced that great of competition, Daukas has fought better competition and has a massive size advantage.
Alvey vs. Marquez
Julian Marquez, TKO, R1
I hope Marquez bashes Alvey straight to Bellator but Alvey is coming down a weightclass which could help him or not i dont care i just hope he loses.
Ansaroff vs. Dern
Mackenzie Dern, SUB, R1
Mackenzie "Big Tits" Dern
Perry vs. Rodriguez
Mike Perry, TKO, R1
going to be a war no matter what, will Papa Perry become rejuvenated by the birth of his child or will he continue being a crackhead, D Rod is always fun.
Miller vs. Solecki
Joe Solecki, DEC
50/50 lean Solecki but you never know when Miller is just going to win.
Holtzman vs. Gamrot
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
War Gamrot
Dumont vs. Blanchfield
Erin Blanchfield, DEC
Both good on the ground, Blanchfield has improved a lot in-between the fights she's had and she looks really good, though she's coming up a weight class against another grappler which could cause her problems.
De Castro vs. Danho
Yorgan De Castro, TKO, R2
I like De Castro and 4 years ago when Danho was last in the UFC, he looked ****, it's been 4 years so maybe he's improved but if he hasn't he's getting bodied
Jung vs. Knight
William Knight, TKO, R3
I like Knight and think he has the advantage grappling, but Jung is better on the feet (though he does get hit a lot) and i think the height is going to play a big factor in this fight.

I'd get as far away from Holland as possible.

Marvin Vettori, DEC
Too much too soon for Kevin Holland. Only 30 days to recover from Brunson. Vettori is a machine with lots of power and great clean boxing. Holland will be in trouble from the opening bell. Respect to Holland for stepping in, but I see Vettori taking home a 50-44 decision.
Alvey vs. Marquez
Julian Marquez, TKO, R3
Sam's original opponent, Zak Cummings, was a pretty easy win to rebound from 4 losses. Marquez is a much tougher replacement. He is ferocious, and can scrap. Marquez will drag this into deep waters and will win via referee stoppage.

mostly, the tapology threads are some of the worst around.

Jordan Griffin, DEC
This is a true who the **** knows fight. Both fighters are super inconsistent and you can get almost any type of performance from them. I'd say Luis Saldana takes a decision, but god I'm not super confident. Because if Griffin wants to show up he washes a lot of people away, he just seems to be really mentally inconsistent in his fights.
Kasanganay vs. Palatnikov
Sasha Palatnikov, TKO, R1
Before anyone jumps down my throat, I'm not picking Impa to get KO'd because he got KO'd by Buckley via that freak back side-kick. I'm picking Impa to get KO primarily because of how he looked against Buckley prior to getting KO'd and secondly for the fact that he's dropping 15 pounds for this fight. Dude was more shredded than my wheaties at 185 and I'm not sure how he comfortably makes 170. If he looks like a peach on Friday I'll switch my picks up, but even then I'm still not confident enough to pick him at the odds presented. We don't know where Impa really sits in this division, he was losing both rounds to Buckley before getting KO'd and he's not far removed from a split dec. against Devorious Tubbs lol. I think he made the right move by going to Sanford MMA and I think he has a good future in the UFC but the odds on this fight are beyond whack. Even money, pick Impa, but the odds are too ****** for me to overlook the value on Palatnikov.

Just curious why you think Danho has a chance here? Have you ever seen him fight? 5 years w/o a fight and he couldn't even beat the bottom of the barrel in 2016. Maybe do a little research before picking him, there's a reason he's a huge underdog, he SUCKS!
