Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 465 Points | Tied for 2644th
Dustin Poirier, SUB, R3
Conor got too fixed on his boxing strategies and has lost his movement that made him special. Hard to see him reverse that now. Also he is the boss of his own training and dosen't listen to his coaches. He is also deluded about his own fights and often thinks he has won when he clearly hasn't. Cant see him winning this. Dustin will take his neck.
Burns vs. Thompson
Stephen Thompson, TKO, R2
Thompson will keep Burns at range and KO him. Burns won't be able to take him down as he trains with Weidman and will know how to defend grappling and takedowns
Tuivasa vs. Hardy
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R2
Tuivasa is taking training really seriously now. Check out his Instagram, he is in shape and will have better boxing, combinations and cardio. Unless Greg takes him down he is done.
Aldana vs. Kunitskaya
Yana Kunitskaya, DEC
Yana will clinch her and take her down if needed. Aldana showed low IQ against Holm and will lose to the stronger girl with a better clinch game here.
O'Malley vs. Smolka
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R1
Cmon, not even close.
Griffin vs. Condit
Max Griffin, DEC
Not very confident about this but I think Griffin has better movement and speed at this point. Also will likely take Condit down and keep him on his back for 2 out of 3 rounds.
Price vs. Pereira
Michel Pereira, SUB, R3
My least confident pick but I think Pereira has the grappling edge which will prove the deciding factor.
Du Plessis vs. Giles
Trevin Giles, DEC
As much as I dislike Giles I think Du Plessis is over rated. He did not look good against Perez despite landing the KO and has not fought good competition. How good is his gas tank? Not very good I'd guess.
Hall vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, TKO, R1
Not even close. Hall is older, slower and Topuria will keep it standing with his Greko wrestling. Only chance for Hall is a heel hook and we know in MMA that usually ends with Ground and pound to the face. BJJ does not equal MMA.
Maia vs. Eye
Jennifer Maia, DEC
Expecting a boring ass grapple fest. Should not be on the main card.
Akhmedov vs. Tavares
Omari Akhmedov, DEC
Tavares has good take down defence, but against whom? Shoeface? Cmon. Ahkmedov is going to take him down and keep him down. Only worry is if he tires out.
Zhumagulov vs. Rivera
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
Again, stay away from betting this fight. The odds on Zhumagulov are terrible and Rivera while not being good at all has a massive reach and size advantage. Also has decent BJJ off his back. Dangerous fight to pick.
Amedovski vs. Hu
Yaozong Hu, TKO, R1
It's a fade on the older fighter. Not confident. Both have weak ass chins and have not fought in forever. Giving it to Hu because he is younger, used to fight at heavyweight and will be much bigger. Expecting a slop fest while it lasts. Lock is fight to not go the distance.

Gilbert Burns, SUB, R2
I cannot believe people are so certain on Wonderboy taking this. I have gone back and forward 20 times by now. I literally have no idea who wins this. **** it, let's go Burns by entanglement.
Hall vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, DEC
If Hall grabs a limb..

Then round two started and he literally melted. I feel like Tai can make him work at least that hard.

Look at it this way....its a free square on your betting card for parlays or lineups if you play daily fantasy sports
Look at the positive -- Because Sean O'Malley is still going to claim he never lost that fight. He still going to claim he is best in the division and he is still going to rake in tons of casual fans who are just as much a clown as he is. I love it actually... because the BIG REVEAL will happen again again once he is dumped into Top of the rankings ...

Dustin Poirier, TKO, R3
Despite being ko, McGregor was winning the first round against Poirier. However, I think this fight is happening too soon for McGregor to make serious changes. Yes, I do think he will put up a much better fight this time, but Dustin is in his prime and has just looked unstoppable recently (aside from that Khabib loss). I dont see dustin losing this at all, but Mcgregor has shocked the world before.
Burns vs. Thompson
Stephen Thompson, DEC
Burns has the obvious advantage with the grappling, but wonder boy knows how to keep it on the feet and is very good at doing so. Wonderboy is also a top three striker in the Ufc and he will use his kicks to keep distance and get the decision win. Could potentially see a finish if burns gets clipped with a solid kick (Man got ko by a jab cmon now).
Tuivasa vs. Hardy
Greg Hardy, TKO, R2
this is a striking match where hardy has a 5.5 inch reach advantage. Tai is very dangerous in the first round, dare I say first minute and he is 1-3 when the fight leaves the first round. Hardy's cardio is dog**** but he has been past the first round more times (1-1-0-1). Being a former NFL player, he is also more athletic and I think that is going to help him in this fight.
Aldana vs. Kunitskaya
Yana Kunitskaya, DEC
Im not sure if Irene has proved that she can hang at the tip top of the division; as evidenced by her last fight. Yana has been a champion and has beaten solid competition at bantamweight. Irene hits harder but Yana throws at a higher volume with an absurd 72% accuracy.
O'Malley vs. Smolka
Louis Smolka, SUB, R2
Ok hear me out real quick. I actually like Sean omalley but people are seriously overlooking this fight. Yes he deserves a top 10-15 opponent and he could honestly end up knocking Smolka out, but Smolka is going to give him a much tougher fight than people think. First, Smolka has never been knocked out in 25 fights and he's only been finished twice by submission. Second, he will have the advantage on the ground and most of his fights do go to the ground, so O'Malley (who is a brown belt) will have his ground game tested here. I want to reiterate, Sean will likely win but im throwing this prediction out here just to point out Smolka will pose a bigger threat than people think.
Griffin vs. Condit
Max Griffin, DEC
I actually want Condit to win this but im not confident in him here. He's looked good his last few fights but he's facing a really solid opponent here. Griffin is coming off a sick ko of song Kenan and has looked really good recently. Condit has never been knocked out before and even has the advantage on the ground but I dont think he's going to be able to deal with griffins striking.
Price vs. Pereira
Niko Price, DEC
I have a feeling pereira is going to utilize a lot of flashy moves for the fans; something he can only keep up for so long. Price definitely does not have an iron chin but I feel like he will be able to weather the storm and avoid getting hit by power shots. Im sure this will end inside the distance but im only choosing it going to decision because pereira is difficult to put away.
Du Plessis vs. Giles
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R2
Two really good MW prospects here. Dricus has been super impressive to me; he's got solid BJJ but also has some vicious hands. Both of Giles losses have come by submission but I can definitely see a ko here.
Hall vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, TKO, R1
I like Ryan Hall but this is a pretty tough fight for him. I personally think hall is at a higher level of BJJ than Topuria but he is going to end up on his back a lot as ilia lgoes for a lot of takedowns. he is comfortable on his back but all that bottom time is going to be unfavorable should this go to the judges. Ilia also has very good standup and can absolutely drop hall.
Maia vs. Eye
Jennifer Maia, DEC
I just really dont like Jessica Eye. Maia isn't that great but eye is **** imo. Not sure why she's getting a higher ranked opponent after losing to a lower ranked opponent.
Akhmedov vs. Tavares
Omari Akhmedov, DEC
100% this fight is going to decision. Both these guys have incredible chins and aren't heavy finishers. Tavares is going to have the experience advantage but I think Omari is more well rounded in his stand up and ground game.
Zhumagulov vs. Rivera
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, TKO, R2
more guys fighting for their first wins in the Ufc. Rivera is 0-3 and Zhumagulov is 0-2. Rivera is going to have a large height and reach advantage but he also has a weak chin. Zumagulov is definitely the better fighter and even though he hasn't won yet in the Ufc, both his losses are against top 15 prospects and in his previous promotion he has already beaten three guys now or formerly in the Ufc.
Amedovski vs. Hu
Alen Amedovski, TKO, R1
Both should be cut tbh no matter who wins or loses. Both are 0-2 in the Ufc against horrible competition (except for Jotko). Hu is bigger and likely has a better chin but I can't confidently pick Chinese MMA due to their 2021 track record thus far. Amedovski looks better on paper so im gonna go with him.

but what these guys post on social media and even say on the mic Sometimes is not truly themselves in real life
I just think omalley realised after the chito loss that there is a long way to go for him getting the belt and he realises he has to get better
He knows him looking dominant over these lower level guys makes his money and fame go up in the meantime

Edit: I think O'malley is also the lamest fighter in the UFC. You can't talk **** to the top guy like Yan, Sterling and Cody and then fight people like Smolka and Almeda, It just ***** thing to do, either fight top guy or even decent fighter or ****.
