Very excited for this card. Big fan of both Benny Dariush and the Hurricane. Still putting all my thoughts together. 

Didn't catch weigh ins but I'll watch shortly. Soriano is biggest dog on this card as of this writing at +176 (DK). Lot's of very close fights on paper; great match making.

Wishing everyone the best of luck with their sprinkles tomorrow.

Shane Burgos fun fact

Predictions: 4 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 240 Points   |   Tied for 3474th

thanks to the weigh-ins on ESPN+ found out a fun fact that Burgos is on a 3-fight streak with 100 significant strikes or more.


Love me some Barboza, but that's nuts to know the guy your about to fight is probably going to hit you that many times.

Predictions: 4 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 240 Points   |   Tied for 3474th

Been overthinking my lineups all week.

- Are we really entertaining Soriano winning against Giagos? Sorianos 3 fight UFC stent in 2014-15, he allowed 12 takedowns. Giagos has 18 takedowns over the past 4 fights (mentioned this before).


- Kevin Aguilar didn't look fat at the weigh-ins. Thanks for laying of the tacos, I personally how daunting this can be on your body since I practice Taco Tuesday.


- Jacre Souza. Is this farewell fight? or a get back on track fight?! I won't be able to complete my time machine before this fight starts so someone needs to fill me in. PLEASE!

That was a weird weigh in. So many people got close to missing weight the first time and they all looked confused about it. Barboza even argued with it because he made weight in the back. Wonder if it was the guy working the scale.

Anyone seen the latest embedded vlog, at the end Charles speaking in Portuguese to Tony responding in English, it was like a father really doing his best to encourage his kid to go get it, telling him it's his time to win now, as if they both wernt smashing each other few months ago, respect👌🏻💯

I truly believe Charles and tony both win tomorrow

The question mark on Giagos is bout his gas tank. We've seen over the years, wrestlers coming in on first prelim fight gassing themselves out grappling, turning the evening to sht. Tho I believe his octagon iq holds up. I cant find any late fight videos on Soriano. Its been 6 years, maybe dude has been improving his take down defense.


I think Souza is done in the UFC.


Aguilar is low volume, I see him losing to DEC.


Chandler wins, I think its gonna be a finish. 

Dariush by DEC.

I wouldn’t say it’s much of a conspiracy that UFC doing it’s first show with the Texas commission in awhile, there might be some growing pains. Every single fighter looked shocked at the announced weight. They weigh themselves beforehand to know if they’re ready to go try for real. It was weird. The privacy curtain was there the whole time. 

A real conspiracy is that NO WAY did Khabib make weight against Gaethje. Never seen someone slide the counterweight away so fast.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 390 Points   |   Tied for 1513th

Ferguson vs. Dariush
Beneil Dariush, DEC
We never know that it can surprise Tony Ferguson, but Dariush has worked very hard from his negative streak and due to all kinds of rivals on his way returned to the Top 10 of the category. Oliveira Shows A Blueprint that can be very useful to Benny: Stun at the beginning of the tony fight with the striking and then seek to take him to the ground. Unfortunately for Tony the only way he has surprised in his last two fights has been not to try to wear His Grappling against Gaethje (where he was supposed to be superior in the fight) and for letting himself steal all the initiative in the fight against Oliveira. Dariush has major credentials in the Wrestling that Oliveira and once on the ground the Assyrian should only be careful with some Triangle Choke or Leg Locks attempt.

Burgos vs. Barboza
Shane Burgos, DEC
Edson uses a lot of kicks and punching to the body besides being very dangerous if it has distance needed to launch spins. Burgos takes the dog's fight and is not afraid to exchanging blows, Burgos showed him against Emmett, against Kattar and Swanson, Hurricane Shane literally tries to pass him over his opponents using the volume of Strikes. Barboza does not have the best cardio and the physical condition of him decreasing half of the second round, Burgos could take a great advantage in the third round as when he fight against Makwan Amirkhani. By the clash of styles, the fight can easily be a bonus fight, Burgos is one of those fighters who are always stepping on the accelerator and that is very useful in the eyes of the judges and then we already know the result of the latest decisions for Barboza. From my point of view he must take her Burgos, but I do not rule out a split decision

Souza vs. Muniz
Ronaldo Souza, SUB, R2
the last chance for Alligator. Souza faces a Muniz 10 years younger and who wants to break into the top 15, in addition to adding a legendary fighter to his winning record. The good thing is that in this fight Jacaré does not carry as much danger in the standing fight as he does against Kevin Holland. Muniz has a good BJJ and from the ground he can try triangle chokes and armbars. But I think Jacaré will get several takedowns, control the position and get the submission. Muniz is a grappler, but Jacaré in the past managed to submit Gegard Mousasi and Haim Gozali (two excellent grapplers) in addition to submitting Matt Lindland and Ed Herman (BJJ black belts).

Does anyone actually have any somewhat confident picks on this card. I don't actually and that how you know a card gonna be a banger. Card of the year for me as they no ******** mismatches, Think they could be lot of decsion because of it , But that sometime not a bad thing.

And thank everyone for liking my breakdown of the fight. I'm happy people at at-lest reading it because it took me about 4 days to write to make it detail, funny and make sense.
