Ryan Bader, TKO, R2
Up until Bader lost to Nemkov he was on a an insane streak. Machida has still been able to hang in there against quality opponents such as Phil Davis and Mousasi losing Split Decisions to both. I just think with Machida at 42 years old and Bader's much improved skillset he's gonna be able to finish The Dragon. I think he'll be able to get him down and end this with some GnP.

Many of the faces of Women's MMA are beautiful women like Misha Tate, Gina Carano or Ronda Rousey but those did have talents beyond taking pictures and uploading them on a social network.

Ryan Bader, TKO, R2
Machida is a legend and has nothing else to prove, but he had to return to 185 lbs after the fight against Mousasi. He is clearly taking advantage of the economic opportunity that is to relive old fights he had in the UFC like the rematch vs. Phil Davis, the upcoming fight against Bader and why not a rematch in the future against Rampage Jackson. On his part I think that Bader has every chance of winning easily by using his wrestling and taking Lyoto to the ground just like he did with Linton Vassell or Cheick Kongo (although that fight ended in NC). Lyoto might surprise with his striking but I think it's more logical to think that Bader will take the fight via Ground and Pound.
Avsaragova vs. Graff
Tara Graff, TKO, R2
The odds are ridiculous! Graff is not a 0-0 fighter without experience, she was finished in her last fight but Loureda has a great striking background for her TKD Black Belt. Gaff has a total of 6 win by KO taking into account her amateur and professional fights, female MMA is too unpredictable and I think that Gaff just needs a good punch to finish the fight and pull the upset.
Douma vs. Smith
John Douma, DEC
Douma destroyed Mike Kimbel's hype train, turning Kimbel from Can Crusher to Heinz Can. Smith is not at the level of opposition that Douma has faced in the pass, unanimous decision or late finish.

There's some kind of weird phenomena that happens when women participate in MMA that causes simps to simp at drastically elevated levels. Could be as simple as them being low-T and either consciously or unconsciously wanting to be dommed by some throbbing-veined bosomless thumbneck who can both KO them in and carry them home from the Pub.
Whatever it is, they will quite credulously tell you that so-and-so fighter is God's last and finest creation when it's apparently the case that she's got a face you'd not want to get on your shoe let alone wake up to--a face to make you slam and bolt the door and panic-dial the police.
I once had a person on MMA Fighting tell me in full earnestness that they would like to **** Sarah Frota. I could scarcely believe it. I told him assuming that's even possible and he managed to do it to make sure the ASPCA didn't find out about it.

Have you ever seen a phonebooth fight?
Siamese boxing?

No, you haven't, because those are all insane ideas created by Jon Nutt and brought to life TONIGHT by a sentient pile of cocaine, Bob Sapp and like 30,000 Baht.
