Vadim Nemkov, TKO, R4
Ok, this is a fair fight, but there is a simple result. Obviously Nemkov is gonna win again. The interesting part is if Davis will be finished. Davis has never been finished. But Nemkov is coming off finishing the biggest guy in Bellator, Ryan Bader. I DO think that Nemkov will be able to get the finish. Nemkov has never made it past the second round when it comes to finishes. Nemkov will give Davis less and less leeway before finishing him off in the later rounds.
Johnson vs. Romero
Anthony Johnson, DEC
LFG! Johnson vs Romero! Please don't cancel this! I love this fight! Johnson and Romero both display power punching skills. Romero absolutely harassed Luke Rockhold, but since when do you KO a guy with a chin like Teixiera? Romero performed badly in the Adesanya fight, and his age is showing. Sure, so is Johnsons, but he has been training and probably won't be rusty after a 3 year layoff. Romero always has the gall to go the distance, so I'm doing an unpopular pick, and I'm picking Rumble Johnson by Decision.

As for the other matchup, the typical way to beat AJ is by rear naked choke and it won't happen here so the real question is, Do its possible to finish Romero?

Yoel Romero, TKO, R1
I absolutely don't know how this fight will go. Rumble Johnson hits harder, but he hasn't fought for ages, and anyways both are super dangerous standing, with good chins and bad cardios, but Romero is way more well rounded and should be able to take the fight to the ground and finish Rumble here.
