Overheem vs Alexander Volkov
I watched Volkovs last fight and i saw that he sometimes trew wild punches and used headmovement. But i have a feeling if he does that with Overheem that he will get caught so
Overheem tko round 3
Johnson vs Guida
Michael Johnson is done but so is Guida they both had there primes. But i think Guida will wrestle Johnson to a decision

I certainly agree with you about there being a chance that Volkov could get caught by something because as well as being a hard hitter, Overeem also has a ton of experience and Volkov can't afford to make any mistakes against someone with the fight IQ of Overeem. Having said that of course, Volkov is younger and might have more energy in the later rounds and may Overeem start to gas out. The later it goes on, the more it favours Volkov. My gut says Volkov by decision but my official pick is also Overeem by 3rd round KO/TKO simply because there is the chance of Overeem punishing one of Volkov's mistakes and because I really want to see Overeem go on another title run!
As for the Johnson VS Guida fight, I've picked Guida by 2nd round KO/TKO, mostly because he's an absolute legend and I'm always inclined to pick my favourite fighters over who I actually think will win but in this case I do genuinely think that Guida can find a win simply because Johnson is on a 3 fight losing streak and seems to be lacking confidence in this game. Having said that, Guida is on a 2 fight losing streak himself but I think he's got a stronger mindset and can handle adversity better than Johnson so I can't see that affecting him as much as it might affect Johnson. I think this fight could really come down to who's in the better mindset and who's more focused on the night.
