yanez vs costa is a fight you watch and pay attention to. betting on it will actually take away from the experience in this rare situation. a barn burner with the tightest competition you can find. nobody should act like they know the outcome, because there simply isnt enough footage of adversity from either guy to determine which supernova is more powerful!!!

POSSIBLE CUTS :
Belbita, Eubanks and Barber are all coming off of back-to-back losses. I would think that if they don't post wins here, it'll be time for them to go.

Guarantee there is little to no fight research in your picks the second I seen Costa by round 1 tko. Might be thr worst pick of the year I've seen on this site. All your other picks get omitted after that disgrace. Your Also 86 and 81 overall picks so I can see why your picks are this bad smdh

Uh yes it does on top of the 10x better completion yanez has faced so far in his career, just look at the opponents records each have been facing. And knocking out journey man Newsom and Boston fish whikw getting subbed by Brandon Davis is a joke...Yanez lands almost 2.5 more sig strikes than Costa and fights out of a better camp. Baring a lucky flash ko Costa gets taught a lesson Saturday and the fight study makes it an easy pick. Do your research

Randy Costa has good kicks, but he throws hands like a doof. Just holds them at his sides and rotates his torso like he's hitting a heavybag. Everything we've seen from Yanez is precision and timing. Hard to believe he won't be able to time some counter shots.

Dude what pipe are you smoking sandhagen got subbed by sterling who is not better than tj those kicks will not work go ahead and lose your money boy

@DelinquentMMA, Heinisch is some of the best value on this card, I see almost no way he loses since he has better striking, wrestling, and cardio than Hawes who just beat Imavov (if barely).

Barber vs. Maverick
Maycee Barber, TKO, R2
Pretty crazy how much hype was around Barber just 2 fights ago!!! I think that was wild, way too much expected from her early. Still, I have a sneaky feeling that she is going to beat Maverick here. By stoppage!!!
Eubanks vs. Reed
Elise Reed, DEC
Anyone remember when Reed beat that "****star" ass in Bellator???!!!
Belbiţă vs. Goldy

Sandhagen vs. Dillashaw
Cory Sandhagen, TKO, R3
Sandhagen is the man rn. TJ is 35, finally off EPOs, and got knocked out in 35 second while on said EPOs. Don't get me wrong, he's still one of the greatest bantamweights ever, but at this point in his career I dont think he has what it takes to beat Cory. Cory has crazy volume and loves to throw crazy knees and kicks. He also has a good ground game and is damn near impossible to finish.
Ladd vs. Chiasson
Macy Chiasson, DEC
Ladd is super skilled but I think she loses here for a few reasons. First off, her injury; ACL tears can be career ending in most sports and even though she has recovered, she's not going to move the same. Because of this injury, she has also been out for a long time (19 months) which is something you want to avoid especially in your younger years. Finally, Chiasson is a gigantic bantamweight, holding a 6 inch reach advantage and 5 inch hight advantage.
Phillips vs. Paiva
Kyler Phillips, TKO, R1
This is just a weird fight. Paiva moving up a weight class on short notice against one of the better bantamweight prospects sounds like a bad day at the office for him.
Elkins vs. Minner
Darrick Minner, DEC
decision might be a little bold here considering minner has only been to decision 4 times in 37 fights, but, Elkins is pretty damn durable. If minner is to get a finish, it would be by sub and Elkins has only been finished once by sub and that was 10 years ago against Olivera. Elkins is a good fighter but I think he's too old to keep up with younger fighters now.
Barber vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, DEC
Poor barber. Maverick is really ******* good and while barber has skill, she's being pushed too fast by the Ufc and they aren't doing her any favors with this fight here.
Gall vs. Williams
Jordan Williams, TKO, R2
How tf is this fight on the main card? Both these guys are cans. Williams has the advantage on the feet and gall has the advantage on the ground but I feel like Williams volume will get him the win.
Soriano vs. Allen
Brendan Allen, SUB, R2
Puna is a really good prospect but I dont think he will win this. Yes, he has power and can wrestle but this is a serious step up in competition. Im personally pretty high on Allen and I think his bjj is nasty. Hes also proven he can hang as he's 4-1 against much better competition than puna.
Abdurakhimov vs. Daukaus
Chris Daukaus, TKO, R1
Daukaus should destroy here; dudes volume and speed is ridiculous at heavyweight. The only problem for him here is that he is a pretty small heavyweight facing a guy who can and will wrestle so we will
Heinisch vs. Imavov
Ian Heinisch, DEC
hennish may be 1-3 in his last 4 but he's fought a pretty rough stretch of opponents in that time. Im still pretty high on him just think the Ufc gave him a tough ass schedule. Not counting out imavov either, but I think heinisch is pulling this win out.
Yanez vs. Costa
Adrian Yanez, TKO, R3
This ones gonna be super close. Both these guys are very similar but im going with yanez here because I think his cardio will hold up more (as he's gone to decision where costa hasn't left the second round). I also really dont like that Brandon Davis loss on costa's record.
Arce vs. Ewell
Andre Ewell, DEC
Arce is pretty damn good but he hasn't fought since 2019. Ewell did not look great in his last fight, but it was short notice and at a catchweight. Hes already a solid fighter and I think the activity is going to help him here.
Eubanks vs. Reed
Sijara Eubanks, DEC
cffc debutants have done pretty damn well recently. That being said I think reed is too green to get a win on short notice. Eubanks record is horrible, but all her losses are against top 15 opponents and I think she's too well rounded to lose here.
Belbiţă vs. Goldy
Hannah Goldy, DEC
pretty low level fight. I think goldy is better tho, belbita is really not good at all.
Cory Sandhagen, TKO, R3
Sandhagen is the man rn. TJ is 35, finally off EPOs, and got knocked out in 35 second while on said EPOs.

Prediction Comments
Predictions: 4 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 275 Points | Tied for 1300th
Sandhagen vs. Dillashaw
T.J. Dillashaw, DEC
Look, here's the way I see this from an elementary level; Sandhagen has a very vulnerable ground game (not bad, just holes) where T.J has shown multiple times to have glaring holes in his striking defense. Notice, much like Sandhagen's ground game, TJ has an amazing striking game but you have to admit if Dodson, Cody, and Cejudo can all find the chin cleanly then there's a hole there. I like to think of it as a trade off for being so mobile, but the point stands. So both people have a clear path to victory, and Sandhagen's definitely got momentum as well as more octagon time recently, but T.J. has more 5 round experience and a cardio edge (#EPO). I'm really not confident picking either person here, so when I find myself in these situations I always go with the betting underdog.
Phillips vs. Paiva
Kyler Phillips, TKO, R2
Kyler Phillips is special at 135, top 15 for sure. Paiva meanwhile was probably going to bat just above 500 in the strawweight division. Being forced to move up (because lets facing the UFC is forcing him to move up) isn't going to do him any favors because his problem was never his chin or cardio. His problem is that he seems to have a fundemental reliance on his range at Straw-Weight which he is going to give up significantly in this fight. If you told me decision I wouldn't be mad, but Phillips is going to take this one home I'm almost positive.
Abdurakhimov vs. Daukaus
Chris Daukaus, TKO, R3
Did people forget who Shamil is? Like, I mean I'm favoring Daukaus here, but this is a close ******* fight, absurdly close. Depending on how steep the line gets I might even bet on Shamil just for the value.
Heinisch vs. Imavov
Ian Heinisch, SUB, R3
I said it in the comments. I'd pick Heinisch to beat Hawes because he's virtually the same fighter but better at all the key things that Hawes is. Imavov is a good fighter, and I wish they would give him a solid striker to put a show on, but I think Heinisch is a steal here. Second most confident pick on a card full of unconfident picks. Actually this is the card I feel least confident on this whole year so far. Good matchmaking by the UFC.

Just analyzing the matchups here on this card, I see this being an "upset heavy" lineup. We had two "favorite heavy" cards for the past two events but I see a lot of valuable dogs in this one. Here are some of my picks so far:
Kyler Philips
Sijara Eubanks
Mickey Gall (underdog)
Darren Elkins (underdog)
I have to do more research which I will on Friday night after weigh-ins take place. These are some nice matchups here, I hope COVID stuff doesn't affect any of these fights.
