This is Tony's last chance for the Undisputed belt. Maybe one of the main event fighters has a freak injury and he steps in as the next highest ranked available LW.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 4 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 250 Points   |   Tied for 3362nd

Oliveira vs. Chandler
Charles Oliveira, SUB, R2
Chandler lost to Will Brooks. Twice.

Edwards vs. Diaz
Leon Edwards, DEC
could this prediction be any safer?

Chookagian vs. Araujo
Katlyn Chookagian, TKO, R3
no idea who Viviane is so i guess they're giving Katlyn a bounce back fight here

Burgos vs. Barboza
Shane Burgos, DEC
Barboza looked good in his last fight but we all know the old Edson would've finished Amirkhani in the 2nd

Ferguson vs. Dariush
Tony Ferguson, SUB, R3
although Beneil is a dark horse at Lightweight, this is a massive step down in competition for Tony and i'm certain he'll finish Dariush

Hermansson vs. Shahbazyan
Jack Hermansson, DEC
off topic but how is this fight so low on the card?? thought it wouldve been on the main card at least

If I could guarantee that the smart technical fighter Dariush actually is would be the one fighting, I'd pick him hands down. But dude gets cracked once and he turns into a drunken madman lately. I feel like if that happens it's a 50/50 fight.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 4 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 290 Points   |   Tied for 3060th

Oliveira vs. Chandler
Michael Chandler, TKO, R1
Neither should be fighting for Khabib's title. Should get Poirier vs Gaethje. Either could eat ****, Chucky could also get a sub. No bet, hoping Chucky puts him to sleep with a sub in the first cause **** getting a title shot off sparking Dan Hooker, but have a bad feeling.

Edwards vs. Diaz
Leon Edwards, DEC
Lock. Even at -450. If RDA didn't get Leon, Nate isn't going to either.

Chookagian vs. Araujo
Katlyn Chookagian, DEC
Katlyn could wrestle**** Viviane to decision, Araujo may have improved TDD. No clue.

Burgos vs. Barboza
Shane Burgos, DEC
No ******* clue. Burgos could pressure Barboza to decision victory, could also get hurt and dropped multiple times. No bet.

Ferguson vs. Dariush
Tony Ferguson, DEC
Ferguson's wins in the last 5 years have not aged well. Pettis, Cowboy and Kevin Lee all have fought and lost since, his best win is RDA and that was a 48-47. He also looked physically damaged during Oliveira weigh ins. Benny has not fought or beat that level of competition but has lost to lower level people than Ferguson. Small bet on Ferguson.

Mazany vs. Cachoeira
Gina Mazany, DEC
Both suck. Fight should not be on PPV undercard. No bet.

Lee vs. Shevchenko
Antonina Shevchenko, DEC
Shevchenko should win this. Lee is not a grappler which is how you beat Antonina. Should have advantage in striking and grappling if her last fight is anything to go by. Small bet.

Pickett vs. Wright
Jordan Wright, DEC
Wright could be worth a very small bet at pickem'.

Giagos vs. Alvarez
Joel Alvarez, SUB, R2
Joel should be -220ish and still win. Value at -185.

Hermansson vs. Shahbazyan
Jack Hermansson
Jack could get him, but he could also get sparked. Value at pickem', none at -170.

Souza vs. Muniz
Ronaldo Souza, TKO, R3
Like Souza at these odds. Small bet. Muniz has never faced anyone on this level. Conversely, Souza has never lost to anyone on this level.

Ismagulov vs. Alves
Damir Ismagulov, DEC
Lock.

Grundy vs. Vannata
Mike Grundy, DEC
Small bet on Grundy. Vannata coming down, compromising chin and cardio, Grundy better and more consistent fighter overall.

Aguilar vs. Lutz
Kevin Aguilar, DEC
Lutz beats low level dudes. Aguilar loses to high level dudes. No bet.

Schnell vs. Bontorin
Matt Schnell, DEC
Schnell should not be -160. No bet.

I really like Joel Alvarez in this spot. He's bigger, better, and typically wins fights the way his opponent typically loses them. At -190, I think he's a great addition to any parlays. Bring that Leon Edwards line down a little.

I wonder why Nate Diaz accepted this fight with Leon Edwards?  His team is very smart in who they pick to fight, they must see a weakness in Leon that Nate can exploit somehow.  

I mean on paper, this is an easy win for Leon because of Leon's wrestling ability so I'm not sure why the Diaz team chose this fight when they could have waited to do a Masvidal/McGregor rematch or something along those lines?

It's not like Leon is a draw or something, so the Diaz team was the "A side" here on choosing Leon and accepting the fight.  

Perhaps there is value on taking Diaz in this fight.  I'm trying to figure out how he can beat Leon though.

In Nate's long history of fighting, which one of his opponents was similar to Leon Edward's style?

@DEPMODE33 think about it, a win over edwards puts him right in the mix, but I rlly dont see nate stopping the takedowns easy win for leon

@Shroom, maybe Nate can pull off a crazy submission off his back?  Leon will probably be fighting from the closed guard position most of the fight and he doesn't really try to advance position that much.  Maybe Nate gets a triangle or an arm bar somehow in this fight.  Nate hasn't had a submission win in a long time so he's due for one with his abilities.

Submission is nates way to win here, Leon gonna piece him up tho probably and nate bleeds easy, expect his face to be a mess from some of the elbows from the clinch from Leon

Same, but I mean they weren't going to print anyway so it's nice to get the disappointment out of the way early at least.
