Third degree black belt. That's all I got.
Ferguson vs. Dariush
If Dariush is smart, he'll wrestle a good bit and take a decision here. Almost certainly FOTN even if it isn't as strike heavy as some are expecting.
Schnell vs. Bontorin
Very close fight on paper. I had Schnell as a slight favorite before Bontorin weight miss. Really hard to pick a 125lb guy who can't make weight fighting up a weight class.
Chookagian vs. Arajuo
Won't be surprised at all if this ends up as a split decision. Arajuo is a live dog. Both women impressed me in their last wins. I'm ever so slightly going with the taller and more experienced fighter.
Burgos vs. Barbosa
Believe I read in earlier comments that Burgos is on 3 fight streak of 100+ significant strikes. His fight with Emmett proved to me that his chin is maybe the best in all of MMA. Strike differentials and volume are definitely in Burgos favor. Runner up pick for FOTN.
Souza vs. Muniz
Souza obviously on his way out but I legitimately don't see a path to victory here for Muniz. This is a nice jump in competition for him. I don't think I'm going out on a huge limb here by saying Muniz has little to no shot of submitting Souza. If Jacare can't win this fight he needs to leave the gloves in octagon before exiting.
Grundy vs. Vannata
Even in a loss, Grundy took down Evloev SIX times. He has an easy path to victory here if he's ready to grind out an extremely boring decision. I don't think him trying to stand and bang with Vannata, who's surprisingly still only 29, is a very good idea.
Pickett vs. Wright
If I'm being blunt, neither of these guys look UFC caliber as of this writing. I mean, 3 of Wrights 12 wins are against opponents who at the time were 0-5, 0-10, and 0-21. Pickett's competition hasn't really been much better but he's at least gone to a few decisions. If Wright cant get Pickett out of there early, does he even have the fight IQ to survive a 2nd and 3rd round?
Lee vs. Shevchenko
Lee needs a win bad but Shevchenko seems to do everything as well as she can if not better.
Mazany vs. Cachoeira
Going dog here. I'm totally guessing, but I feel like it's not often that you have two females fighting each other both coming off finishes. I don't love the reach disadvantage but 3 of Mazany's 4 losses are by first round finish. On paper Mazany probably wins this fight. However, if Cachoeira comes out firing like she did in her last fight, Mazany might be in trouble.
Aguilar vs. Lutz
Aguilar definitely needs a win really, really bad. Does that light enough of a fire in him to match the intensity Lutz will likely bring in his UFC debut? I don't dislike Aguilar as an overall fighter but he historically doesn't have a very high out-put. He either proves me wrong or he's likely out a roster spot.
Giagos vs. Soriano
Giagos will lose this fight if it's mostly on the feet. I don't see that happening. However, I will point out that Giagos is a pretty horrific 3rd round fighter. If he can avoid staying on the feet too long without tiring himself out over the course of the fight, he should win. If Soriano can stuff some of the take downs and survive until the 3rd round, he may be presented with an opportunity to unload on the Spartan.
Will post some bets tomorrow. Definitely need to sleep on it first.

Michael Chandler, TKO, R1
I just got this Chandler feeling tonight .. Both guys have got a tremendous amount of weapons, but I think Charles might have a moment of complacency, not tiip when he should have tiiped, and will be in perfect range for a Chandler cinder-block-fist. Chandler shocks everyone more than he did in January.

Michael Chandler, TKO, R1
Oooooooooo my, A dead heat. Not ******* surprised. Cos I have no clue. I was sold on Oliveira just having tooo many advantages. But, Oliveira reeeally isn't as big compared to Chandler as I thought. Which only means it's easier to land that nuclear bomb. I reeeeally don't ******* know.
Ferguson vs. Dariush
Beneil Dariush, DEC
Dude. Benny is ******* goooood. His IQ might be his best weapon. Always overlooked by his ground game. I know the ship's prolly sailed on the now 37 year old Ferguson. A ton of ******* damage. Look what happened to Diego Sanchez.
Chookagian vs. Araujo
Viviane Araujo, DEC
I'm racist against Chookagian. I can't exactly tell you why. I just can't stand her.
Burgos vs. Barboza
Shane Burgos, DEC
Eeeeh. About 51% confident here. Just NOT a fan of 145lb Barboza.
Grundy vs. Vannata

Smoooooooooke break. Got some Green Line OG & Kosher Tangie from Cresco. That Tangie is wild.
Aguilar vs. Lutz
Kevin Aguilar, DEC
Wow. Guys, C'mon.
Soriano vs. Giagos
Sean Soriano, TKO, R3
Man. Look. I know ppl are gonna judge my mental capacity here, but I'm feelin some type of way. I know about Soriano from the Northeastern regional scene. Solid. Good everywhere. Won't gas out and he'll still be around when Giagos fades hard late in the fight. That's my knock on Giagos. Man, he does such good ******* work. But it zaps his energy like none other. If he could tone it down just a bit, He could actually go the distance with a decent workload. Idk... Yeah. declining mental capacity. Whatever.
