Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
When Ortega fights Top striking he backs to the reallity. Masterclass by Alexander
Shevchenko vs. Murphy
Valentina Shevchenko, TKO, R2
Murphy is not as agressive fighter as Andrade so probably she will be finished one minute later
Lawler vs. Diaz II
Nick Diaz, DEC
Both fighters at 100x100 is a clearly win for Diaz, even If Diaz is a lil bit slow, but today is a fight with uncertainly pick
Blaydes vs. Rozenstruik
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R3
Jairzinho has the TD, the Skills and the power to win this fight.

Shevchenko>>>>>>>>Andrade>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The rest. Pretty strong and complete fighter

Dan Hooker, DEC
Good matchup for Hooker

Matt Semelsberger, TKO, R1
Lock Pick - I have no idea how Sano got this fight.. He is on a 3 fight losing stream OUTSIDE of the UFC.. This is a tune up fight for a Matthew Semelsberger that is only getting better each fight. His boxing and takedown ability will be wayyy too much for Sano.. This fights not even going to be close. Sano throws slow looping hook. He has a 1-2 running jab but leaves himself open to be taken down at will. He cant fight 3 rounds. This fight will NOT go the distance. Super easy win for Matt here. UFC likes him. He did well against Khaos and respected the knockout power. Expect Matt to have extremely high volume here if he doesnt finish this early

Manon Fiorot, TKO, R1
Lock Pick - Fiorot will KO this chick in this 1st rnd.. Shes going to maintain the distance and use her Stephen Wonderboy Thompson-like Karate to kill Silva.. This wont be a fair fight. Expect Manon to really become a potential UFC champion one day.

Taila Santos, TKO, R1
Lock Pick - Taila should easily be able to manhandle a 39 yr okd Roxanne. I wouldnt be surprised if Taila gets her first finish here against an Aged Modaferri.

Chris Daukaus, TKO, R1
Lock Pick - Daukas is a different breed of heavyweight. He is making his way up the rankings and will be fighting top fighters soon. Daukaus will come in here and starch Shamil in the first 3 minutes. This fights going to be over QUICK. Shamil has not fought in 2 years, thats not good for a 40 yr old heavyweight. Its like what was he really doing and how passionate is he about UFC at this point considering he will never see a title shot. Daukaus, Lewis, Rozen, Apsinal are the heaviest hitters in the league.

Merab Dvalishvili, DEC
Lock Pick - Merab is going to manhandle Marlon like he does everyone else. He is going to be bigger, younger, more reach, stronger. Just an overall beast who is going to make a push for a title run. Nobody has shown the ability to get out of Merabs clutches. Marlon wont be any different. He will suffer the same fate as All of Merabs previous opponents. Another easy win here.
