Allen is probably my strongest lock on this card outside of the 3 title fights

Connelly vs. Sabatini
Tristan Connelly, DEC
I think it so dumb that so many people are betting Sabatini at such high odds and are people locks. Connelly the only man to beat Pereira and Pereira miss weight at welterweight, Sabatini be a midgit compare to him as a fetherweight. I'm taking a shot on Connelly

Pat isn't about to deplete his gas tank on theatrics though, and he really should be a stronger grappler than Connelly. He might not be a surefire lock, but I don't think Tristan has anything to threaten Pat.

Then again Sabatini did get his arm broken with a Mir Lock in like 40 seconds a few fights back, lol.

@Phil Visa demands on the Us or Pinoy side? I know most of the time you can pay whoever does the stamping to forgot about it and look the other way throughout most of SouthEast Asia, although a friend of mine had to come back from Thailand pre-China-virus because he couldn't buy off his Visa overstay anymore. Got away with it for a long ass time though.

@fish, on the philippine side, the rules were literally changing day by day. travel restrictions around the area made it very sketchy and re-entry nearly impossible. i could have overstayed my visa but the costs were uncertain ( a big red flag in the philippines) and if i was caught i would have been deported. they were not issuing any visa extensions at all. so just safer and more practical to come home for now, at least i can go back if and when things ever get back to some semblance of normality.

Usman vs. Masvidal II
Kamaru Usman, DEC
To be honest I don't want either of them to win, but I'm going with Usman by Dec, could go either way in my opinion considering Masvidal trained for this for a long time at ATT.

Zhang vs. Namajunas
Rose Namajunas, DEC
Im picking Rose just because I think this fight will be closer than anyone thinks. My favourite fight on this card.

Smith vs. Crute
Anthony Smith, SUB, R2
Last time Crute fought someone real he los... Oh wait he still hasn't fought top contender..
