Poirier vs. McGregor III
Conor McGregor, TKO, R2
I can't bet against Mcgregor ESPECIALLY as an underdog. Watching the embedded and countdown tells me he's taking this very seriously. Whoever wins, I am happy with it.

Burns vs. Thompson
Stephen Thompson, DEC
Can't see Burns clipping Thompson he's just so technical and to hear he doesn't throw side kicks as much because he doesn't want to potentially ruin careers. Legend.

O'Malley vs. Moutinho
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R2
If O'malley loses and ruins my parlay at -700, I will never gamble.

Hall vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, TKO, R2
Top 3 fight on the card IMO

Aldana vs. Kunitskaya
Irene Aldana, DEC
Aldana is the better striker and I think she's going to control where this fight's going to go. Kunitskaya needs to look for clinch exchanges and maybe even takedowns if she wants to get a win here however I think Aldana is good enough to keep this one where she wants to keep it and out point Yana

@FireFist45 O'Malley takes a 2 week break from smoking every fight he has and has said in his last interview that he will keep doing that because of "munchies" and losing weight.

Exactly. Even in the clinch, Aldana is strong and is hard to take down because of her strength. I like this fight for Aldana.

Maia vs. Eye
Jennifer Maia, DEC
Maia will most likely take this fight to the ground to seal a split decision win.

Akhmedov vs. Tavares
Brad Tavares, DEC
Brad Tavares has solid takedown defence to keep this fight on the ground. He's a balanced fighter that will pick Akhmedov apart with leg strikes & combos. Brad by unanimous decisin.

Zhumagulov vs. Rivera
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, TKO, R2
Zhumagulov has some crazy wrestling skills. Zhumagulov will thrash him with some combinations for a quick finish.

Amedovski vs. Hu
Alen Amedovski, TKO, R3
Fairly even. Both fighters are inconsistent but I'm leaning towards Amedovski because he carries some power behind his punches. Yaozung has poor defence on the stand-up and also struggles with grappling.

Griffin vs. Condit
Max Griffin, DEC
Griffin can get some solid top control here and working patiently on the ground will win him the fight.

Price vs. Pereira
Michel Pereira, TKO, R3
Pereira will be looking to dodge Price's offense until he finds he perfect opportunity to KO.

Hall vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, DEC
Hall has some solid ground game that can stop El Matador from getting a submission. Leaning on a decision win for Topura.

Du Plessis vs. Giles
Dricus Du Plessis, DEC
Stillknocks will chop Trevins legs and look to get in some solid G&P that will do enough to cruise to a decision win.

Tuivasa vs. Hardy
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R3
This is so 50/50, Hardy has such a big size advantage over Tuivasa which I think he can put to good use early but I'm just worried about his cardio. Tuivasa is extremely durable and if he fights smart he can wear on Hardy a bit and take this one later on in the fight. I'm expecting Hardy to look good early, maybe if he paces himself well he can get a decision or even a finish but I think Tuivasa invests in the leg kicks early and comes into it late and possibly get the finish

Poirier vs. McGregor III
Conor McGregor, TKO, R5
Everyone thinks this fight will end early and its hard to pick a favourite. I think this fight might take some time to unravel because both fighters will be afraid to make mistakes. Therefore I'm leaning on a late finish by The Notorious.

Burns vs. Thompson
Gilbert Burns, TKO, R3
With all due respect to Neal and Luquee, Womderboy's wins over them are not convincing for a title figaht. Burns was more confident in his wins and only lost to the champion.

Tuivasa vs. Hardy
Greg Hardy, DEC
Both these guys struggle with stamina so I think this fight will go the distance. If Hardy can avoid Bam Bam's savage leg kicks and take the fight to the ground; he might be able to grind out a decision win.

Aldana vs. Kunitskaya
Yana Kunitskaya, DEC
Solid ground game and striking by Foxy. I think she can pull off a decison victory here. Aldana will want to keep this fight on the feet and may struggle on the mat.

O'Malley vs. Moutinho
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R2
Sugar will put on a show and try get a spectacular knockout because he's looking to gain more popularity after this fight. O’Malley is well-rounded and can control the fight on the ground or on the feet...predicting a KO within 2 rounds.

Tuivasa vs. Hardy
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R2
Both of these guys are pure strikers and I would be shocked if either of these guys even attempted to wrestle here. Greg Hardy has only been a professional mixed martial artist for 3 years now. Even though Tuivasa is younger he is more experienced here and probably the more well rounded, diverse striker and he has certainly showed more power thus far in the UFC. Hardy is far more athletic, 3 inches taller and he will have a 5 inch reach advantage. Hardy moves better but Tuivasa hits harder and what I think makes the difference in this fight is Tuivasa's committment to throwing devistating leg kicks. I see the leg kicks piling up and leading to a second round KO for Tuivasa. Detailed analysis in the attached video. Enjoy!

Price vs. Pereira
Niko Price, TKO, R1
These two styles should make an entertaining but quick fight. Both tend to come out and throw everything in the first round. I think Price hurts Pereira in the 1st in a wild exchange. I see Price outlasting and out striking Pereira if they get out of the 1st. Pereira could take him down in the later rounds. Price always has entertaining fights!

I’m weirdly confendent in Yazong Hu winning. Even though he 3-2, Amedovski isn’t great either but Hu does have all the advantage like being 26 coming off a 3 year layoff while training at Tiger  Muay Thai, fought his last 2 fights at heavyweight and light heavy, also dude is a lot bigger in height and reach. I’m fully expecting a improve performance
