Ramos v Algeo
Predictions: 7 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 475 Points | Tied for 1069th
Ramos has some creative striking and good jiu jitsu. He’s good at managing range and he has sneaky strikes from clinch distance. Algeo is patient and has a pretty relaxed approach. He last won against Carlyle, but it wasn’t pretty. Algeo is a tough dude, though I don’t particularly like that he keeps his hands down, especially against a guy who is quick and takes tricky angles. Algeo also starts slower than Ramos, which means that in the first round he’ll likely be on the defensive. In the first round of their fight, Carlyle had Algeo in some pretty compromised positions, and I think Ramos would finish the fight if given the same opportunities. To me, Algeo’s toughness and cardio are his best assets, and he may be able to secure a few takedowns if Ramos gets spinny/flashy, opening himself to takedown and combo counters. When it comes to skill, though, I think Ramos takes it. Ramos, 1st or 2nd round sub.

I don't think Kelvin is showing too much in his last fights, he seemed to peak in the Israel fight. I think that was the best he'll ever be, but he is still young. I think he has a submission weakness, but he's young enough to fix it, but that's just an inkling I have about him.

People are just really down on Gastulum because of his recent few, But If He perfume, dude a monster, Rob is 10-1 in his last 11 for a reason so I think Rob should be favourite . I just hate how all the fans think Rob winning is a shore thing, This is gonna be a fight. Rob ain't gonna walk through Gastulum easly.
BTW im one of the only few picking Gastulm, Can you be baffled when only 8% of people are picking Gastulum and i'm the only person on the forum giving Kelvin a shot.

At +550, the implied probability of Gastelum by KO is 15.4%. If you bet 20$ your payout would be 110$ Net.
Is Gastelum going to win by sub? Doubt it. Decision? Also doubt it. By KO/TKO? Unlikely, but of all the ways he could win, it's the most likely.
Not a bad punt at all really.

Romanov v Espino
Predictions: 7 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 475 Points | Tied for 1069th
I didn’t expect it, but this is the toughest fight on the card for me to pick. Espino has fantastic wrestling and good movement for a big dude. Then again, so does Romanov. I think Espino has slightly better foot movement, and I actually think he’s the better wrestling technically, but I’m not sure how much of that will matter against the younger and more explosive Romanov. I would say that Espino has the advantage of knowing what it feels like going the distance since Romanov has never been there professionally, but seeing Romanov come out hot in the second round against Martinez after seemingly emptying the tank in the first was pretty ******’ impressive. It makes me think that Romanov can and will dig deep to look for a finish or get ahead on the scorecards. Also, Romanov throws those biscuit paws with more volume and intent than Espino. When Espino throws, it looks like he’s setting up takedowns, mostly. It’s not like this wouldn’t work against Romanov, but I imagine taking Romanov down would be a pretty tall order. Looking at their age difference, Romanov is entering his prime for a heavyweight while Espino should be just leaving his. If this fight doesn’t end early in a flurry (or a sub while they’re dry), I think it ends late in the second or early in the third with Romanov emptying the tank. Romanov by late GnP.
