Young guy probably too early for UFC, but maybe he would get some important experience. Wonder how fast he is evolving his skills.

Kamaru Usman, DEC
I'm expecting an almost exact replay of the first fight. I'm sure that Jorge Masvidal has been analysing the fight heavily and I'm sure we will see some improvement from him but I'm not convinced it will be enough to get the win.

Its a really 50-50 fight for me, I think Crute will wresle**** him to victory. Crute Big change in his last few fight is that he fights to his opponent weekness, Not to they strength and It think he go quite far in the division

Kamaru Usman, TKO, R5
Usman is just so much for Masvidal, no judges this time
Zhang vs. Namajunas
Zhang, DEC
Rose is a very good striker but Zhang is also and has more power in her favor
Shevchenko vs. Andrade
Valentina Shevchenko, DEC
Valentina is better in all places, but Andrade is a considerable climb compared to the last challengers
Weidman vs. Hall II
Chris Weidman, SUB, R2

Smith vs. Crute
Jimmy Crute, TKO, R2
I like Smith but I don't see him being competitive against these rising guys

Kamaru Usman, DEC
Usman UD, but Masvidal winning a round/nearly 2. Feel like Usman will strike a bit more but nothing that will give Masvidal a massive chance of winning.
Zhang vs. Namajunas
Weili Zhang, DEC
I'm rooting for Rose and think she has a clear chance of winning, but Zhang hits very hard and feel like in a close fight, damage is going to make a difference (like in the Joanna fight). Still, it's going to be a close one, if Rose can avoid getting all bruised up and having eyes shutting, I rate her more as the better overall MMA fighter.
Shevchenko vs. Andrade
Valentina Shevchenko, DEC
Not the best stylistic match up for Valentina, Andrade likes to smother opponents and Valentina usually does her best work on the outside with single shots. Still, Shevchenko has a much bigger fighting IQ and will make the necessary reads and avoid getting damaged, racking up the necessary points.
Weidman vs. Hall II
Chris Weidman, DEC
I see another decision in this one. Weidman doesn't have the finishing power of before and the cardio has largely declined, but I saw a very fearful Hall versus a much older Silva, that was actually outpointing in my opinion, barring the glass chin that would crumble after a single heavier strike. If Weidman's cardio is on point, I see him wrestling his away to a decision.
