Kamaru Usman, TKO, R4
Not impressed with Masvidal any longer. I think Usman really puts it on him this go around and Masvidal is stopped in a one sided bloody beating.
Zhang vs. Namajunas
Weili Zhang, DEC
Im a huge Zhang fan but longtime Rose fan. There is a chance of Rose reliving the JJ upset ,but Weili is tough tough.
Shevchenko vs. Andrade
Valentina Shevchenko, DEC
I dont know whats going on with this match up? WHY? Give me Nunes and Val 2,since Nunes needs a challeger.
Weidman vs. Hall II
Uriah Hall, DEC
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Was not long ago Weidman and Rousey were king and queen of the UFC.
Smith vs. Crute
Anthony Smith, DEC
Hey Crute has been showing great improvement...while Smith on decline.

Weili Zhang vs. Rose Namajunas
Rose was a dead woman walking against Andrade by the end of the third. She was beaten and bloody, gassed, and if there'd been another 2 minutes to that fight she'd have gotten finished. Definitely. She got ****** up.
Zhang lands at 6.38 PM, which is the same clip as Andrade. The difference is, she's a far more diverse striker and absorbs less STM and has 1 inch of reach on Andrade. She hits very hard, either as hard or as close to as hard. as jessica.She is taller by three inches.
Rose's best path to victory is by sub. The problem with that is that Zhang's TDD is 100%. She also has 5 minutes of hard cardio, which Rose does not. She is undefeated.
Zhang probably finishes her between the 3-4th round.
But I hope Thug Rose can pull out a rabbit.

Likeability and charisma go a long way in my books, don't matter how well you can fight if nobody likes you.

Jorge Masvidal, TKO, R2
I’ll take my chances on this one. Most likely Usman wins via decision. But bc he can’t KO Masvidal, Jorge always has a punchers chance.
Zhang vs. Namajunas
Weili Zhang, DEC
Another Banger for Zhang!! FOTN
Shevchenko vs. Andrade
Valentina Shevchenko, TKO, R3
Valentina is on another level, period.
Weidman vs. Hall II
Uriah Hall, TKO, R3
Not a Weidman fan to say the least. Hall via KO.
Smith vs. Crute
Anthony Smith, DEC
Smith shows he’s here to stay.
Brown vs. Oliveira
Randy Brown, DEC
I think this has the potential to be a FOTN contender.
