Tony Gravely via TKO rd 3
after getting dropped on his head a couple times I see a late stoppage coming for Tony
Espino vs Romanov
Juan Espino via Sub rd 3
Romanov is a big brute and very much so can finish Juan if on top, but I see juan being the much more technical fighter with an actual fight iq to get the job done. Romanov couldn't strike with marcos if a cheeseburger depended on it
Arlovski vs Sherman
Andre Arlovski via decision
Big step down in competition in Sherman. I see arlovski cruise to decision with 15 minutes of slow paced boxing

I’m not sold on Lupita but Penne is what 40 ish and hasn’t fought since when? I’d look it up but....yeah. As a 40+ yr old recovery isn’t the same
I do t put much stock into Klose losing to Beneil either as someone else said. Dudes a killer.
I can definitely see Romanov losing but Episino is getting up there and the size power with grappling background too might just be too much power
Sherman may take advantage of Arlovski’s age but for an old head who’s been brutally KOd in his first ever fight and been merked many times since, mad love and respect for the man. He’s really learned to protect that button. Us not going against the journey of the old head ever impressive AA.

Also Kelvin gonna perform today, He fighting Rob. He got nothing to loss and everything to win. Hope I'm wrong because I'm a big fan of Bobby Knuckles

I don't think Kelvin's chances of knocking Rob out are 0, but you have to at least admit that the only guys he's knocked out in the UFC are all old men. Knocking out old Marquardt, Belfort, Kennedy, and Bisping does NOT make you a knockout artist. He was even the only guy in 6 fights to fail to knock out glass-chinned old Weidman who once again, would have fit right in on his resume of only knocking out past-their-primes good fighters. Then you have to take into consideration that Izzy is the ONLY guy in 11 (!) fights at Middleweight to ever knock out Rob (who literally ran face first onto his punches in their fight). The fact that the second Romero fight didn't end in KO for Rob shows you all you need to know about the heart factor and ROb being able to stick things out while hurt. You seem to be placing too much emphasis in all the times he's been knocked down and too little emphasis in the fact that despite all those knockdowns there's only ever been 1 knockout.

@drmaxis2. I liked you post because you are correct and I agree with you. Rob should be favorite. In all honesty I think Rob gonna win a 3-2 decision where he get drop at lest once, I still stand by my point, that people are stupid for giving Kelvin no chance to knock out Rob. At lowest you should give Kelvin about 30% chance for knockout. Like you said Rob like T-ferg and he get drop all the time, But he survourbilty is increable, But that not gonna last forever, One day he gonna get out cold
