Prediction Comments

Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 570 Points   |   Tied for 794th

Shevchenko vs. Andrade
Valentina Shevchenko, DEC
One of Val'

Weidman vs. Hall II
Uriah Hall, TKO, R2
Maybe Hall lets his hands go a little more? I dunno...

Smith vs. Crute
Anthony Smith, SUB, R3
Don't get me wrong; Crute is one hell of a fighter. I just think Smith is underrated here.

Brown vs. Oliveira
Randy Brown, SUB, R3
Brown can make use of Alex's suspect gas tank.

Grant vs. Sekulić
Dwight Grant, TKO, R2
I see Dwight snatching another.

Allen vs. Roberson
Brendan Allen, SUB, R2
I think Allen finds the neck.

Connelly vs. Sabatini
Pat Sabatini, DEC
I got Pat. Yeah, the Connelly upset was beautiful. But Pat is no idiot.

Batgerel vs. Natividad
Danaa Batgerel, DEC
I'm liking the storm.

Rong vs. Vargas
Zhu Rong, TKO, R2
Looks like a making of new chinese star.

Molina vs. Aori
Qileng Aori, DEC
I think Aori brings experience to the table.

Usman vs. Masvidal II
Kamaru Usman, DEC
Maybe Jorge does hurt him? Maybe Jorge can give a good account? Either way, he's lost to wrestlers before, and Usman can do it again.

Zhang vs. Namajunas
Weili Zhang, TKO, R4
Rose cannot afford to take a beating, Zhang can crack.

Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 520 Points   |   Tied for 1472nd

Usman vs. Masvidal II
Kamaru Usman, TKO, R4
Said he's gonna finish him I think since they last fought, Usman's jab is even more dangerous. Also believe he wants to show he's capable of winning vs Jorge without just toe stomping him in the clinch.

Zhang vs. Namajunas
Weili Zhang, TKO, R4
Look at Rose's nose, I don't think Rose can neutralize Weili she's so scary at 115.

Shevchenko vs. Andrade
Valentina Shevchenko, DEC
Valentina is great and should win this easily, but should've, could've, would've doesnt matter sometimes. I honestly think this is the best fight in terms of upset, Andrade has power but unlikely.

I find it stupid how hard everyone fading Anthony Smith,Dude lost to the two top contender in Glover and Rakik and now he a bum?the worst odds of 2020 was Smith vs Clark, Smith was -120 in a fight where he should win 80-90 percent of the time and the trend is continuing, Smith should be At lest pickem , Dude still a solid top 7 guy and Crute only fought low ranked guys. I think it could be to much of a step up as he’s last fight was against Bukake and Polish guy who not Jan. think he should of fought a Walker or Spann to get his feet wet for the ranking and not got down in the Deep end

Anthony Smith is a strange guy, he likes to get his ass kicked for a round or two, defeat you. Then he just sucks balls, then he's back. Who the **** knows, this guy is a mad man. You can't bet on a this guy, he'll **** it up.

I know everyone was bummed when they announced the rematch, and I do still think usman wins, but also this will definitely be a better fight this time than the first one for sure

I’m heavily biased, confirmed by the fact that I placed money on Smith, but he’s definitely on the back 9 of his career. Maybe not a decline necessarily, but it’s coming sooner rather than later.

Anthony Smith is just such a good guy you can't root against him but damn that Rakic performance was terrible, but and of course Glover beat him into a living death (Ken Shamrock) but I think he takes this fight with an early submission.

Never trust me.

I've got 200$ on Crute so Smith will probably win.

Damn @Fish do we have straight up opposite bets lol. I have weidman and smith. Granted the smith one is more of a heart bet than anything. I'll be rooting for you though provided I can have Valentina and Usman win, cause that's enough to have me break even.

Well I mean I'm pretty sure Usman and Val are going to win. I've decided to throw away 20$ on Masvidal by points at 15-1 and another twenty on a 6 leg parlay that won't cash. As long as Allen doesn't win by KO/TKO I won't be too dirty.
