Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 595 Points   |   Tied for 856th

Burns vs. Thompson
Stephen Thompson, DEC
Burns is very good but I think Wonderboy is going to be way too much for him. Thompson will pick Burns apart for 15 minutes. If this fight hits the mat, Burns obviously has the advantage but good luck getting Wonderboy down and then keeping him down.

Tuivasa vs. Hardy
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R2
Hardy will gas out and Tuivasa will finish him with a heavy punch. Hardy has potential but he has a lot to work on still.

O'Malley vs. Moutinho
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R1
O’Malley is going to do something we've never seen before and it’s going to happen in R1. It’s cool to see Moutinho step up on short notice for his UFC debut but he’s going to get destroyed and is the definition of a can.

Griffin vs. Condit
Max Griffin, DEC
Carlos Condit is the definition of a badass but Griffin is rising and looking very good as of late. I don’t think Griffin submits/knocks out Condit but I do think he will be to much for an older Condit at this point.

Price vs. Pereira
Niko Price, TKO, R1
Pereira is so good but needs to stop doing ridiculous **** every second. Price will clip him while Pereira is acting like an idiot.

Hall vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, TKO, R1
Heel hook or bust for Hall. Hall is an entertaining fighter and it’s awesome to see him back in the octagon but we can’t forget about Topuria. Topuria is looking like a future champion and he has all the tools to do it.

Du Plessis vs. Giles
Dricus Du Plessis, DEC
Du Plessis would be a -200 here if his cardio wasn’t bad. Giles is decent but I think Dricus will make this look easy.

Maia vs. Eye
Jennifer Maia, DEC
Maia is on the rise, Eye is almost done. Maia should easily win this one.

Akhmedov vs. Tavares
Omari Akhmedov, DEC
I really think Akhmedov will win this. He should be able to take rounds 1 and 2. Tavares has good takedown defense but Akhmedov is on another level with his wrestling. This fight should be a good one.

Zhumagulov vs. Rivera
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, TKO, R2
I’m rooting for Rivera but Zhumagulov should make this look easy. Even though Zhalgas isn’t a power puncher, I could still see him clipping Rivera at some point and then ground and pounding him.

Amedovski vs. Hu
Yaozong Hu, TKO, R1
This fight should be on a Bellator card. I have no idea what the UFC is doing here but I’m siding with Hu. Amendovski is knockout or bust and he does not like to be hit. I wouldn’t be shocked if Hu knocks him out very early.

Poirier vs. McGregor III
Dustin Poirier, TKO, R3
This fight is a hard one to call but if it gets past rounds 1 and 2, I think McGregor will gas out and Poirier will finish him.

Who are the 4% of people who think O'Malley will lose? I really want to know. Are they just imbeciles who want to prevent Sean from getting 100%, just like the people who vote for Kayla's opponents? Or do they seriously think this scrub making his UFC debut will really beat Sean? Please identify yourselves. Don't be shy.

Hall vs Topuria

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 505 Points   |   Tied for 2022nd

I think Ryan’s fighting style is brilliant, but people are overhyping his effectiveness. 


Topuria’s grappling is not up to par with Ryan, but I believe he will win simply because Ryan is too defensive to have an answer for his aggressive fighting style if he were on the receiving end of an ass beating. His default mode of defense when bum rushed is to just lay on his back and pull guard, which while effective in the moment, will only prove to be a form of stalling if Topuria is consistently brutalizing him on the standup. Not a good look for the judges. As impressive as Ryan’s style is, his competition is pretty minuscule and consists of washed up vets with poor fight IQ. Topuria has proven he’s willing to take a fight to a decision and exploit an opponent’s weakness than just swing for the fences, so he’s definitely a step up from Ryan’s usual competition. 


On top of all that: Ryan’s age is getting the better of him. I’m honestly shocked this fight hasn’t been cancelled due to some other undisclosed injury Ryan sustained in camp. Can Ryan still pull it off? Absolutely, if Topuria decides to just start off guns blazing for whatever reason, then it would be a breeze for Hall, but it’s honestly pretty unlikely. 


Topuria by DEC

Du Plessis vs. Giles
Trevin Giles, DEC
Tough Pick - Giles has more experience

Amedovski vs. Hu
Yaozong Hu, TKO, R1
Tough Pick - Hu will be without coaches. Just flying into the US a fee days before the fight. Alen looks like a banger. Hu is coming down from Heavyweight, so we’ll see how that impacts his good chin.

Hi Ms Irrelevant ! 

Putting your text in italic does not make you look more intelligent !
Also, no one cares about your 3 paragraphs texts full of irrelevant words.

I believe this is the end of Conor McGregor.  He had a great career.  I think Dustin is going to tap him out.

Amedovski vs. Hu
Yaozong Hu, TKO, R2
I think size will be the factor here. I think Hu slows him down with calf kicks and eventually gets him against the cage, onto the ground and just ground and pounds him late in the 2nd round.

 I hate it when Chad Ochocinco gets on the mic to ask the fighter if he is a lock... because he will drop a large one on that fighter. He did it on Masvidal and another one -- 
both fighters lost
