Prediction Comments

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 560 Points   |   Tied for 1231st

Lewis vs. Gane
Ciryl Gane, DEC
I think by decision not KO. Gane is going to be careful, especially in Lewis's home town.

Aldo vs. Munhoz
José Aldo, DEC
Aldo is much bigger with better reach and will be able to negate Munhoz's leg kicks. He has better boxing and should win 2 out of 3 rounds before slowing down

Luque vs. Chiesa
Vicente Luque, TKO, R1
If Luque who trains with Burns can keep it standing Chiesa is toast

Torres vs. Hill II
Tecia Torres, DEC
Really not sure about this one but I feel Torres will keep up volume and pace and will win a close decision. Judges love Angela Hill, especially in Texas

Song vs. Kenney
Casey Kenney, DEC
Very close but I feel Kenney will have better volume and wrestling. A bit of a toss up though, and Song is with Team Alpha Male which may be enough for the corrupt judges

Fiziev vs. Green
Rafael Fiziev, TKO, R2
Striking at a different level. Also Tiger Muay Thai do good take down defence.

Rodriguez vs. Morales
Vince Morales, TKO, R2
Can't see how Drako is going to win this. Morales is faster, has better boxing and kicks, is also a good wrestler. Drako has a suspect chin which he leaves open. Also tends to gas and Morales doesn't

Herman vs. Menifield
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R1
1 round should be enough against the old dude, if it goes out of round 1 I will be sweating and so will all my parlays

Kowalkiewicz vs. Penne
Karolina Kowalkiewicz, DEC
Flip a coin

Kape vs. Osbourne
Manel Kape, DEC
Kape is slowing learning how to fight in the octagon. I expect him to use more wrestling and have more output after he was robbed last time by the judges. Ode used to fight at Featherweight and is cutting down to Flyweight for the first time. Thats a big cut and I expect him to get tired.

Johns vs. dos Santos
Miles Johns, TKO, R2
I can't see how ADS wins this short of a hail mary submission

Leonardo vs. Gatto
Melissa Gatto, SUB, R2
Again, flip a coin. Both could win, Victoria by decision or Gatto by sub. I hate fighters who pull gaurd and fight off their back, but something tells me that if Gatto could sub Karol Rosa she could do it against Leonardo.

Munoz Jr. vs. Simmons
Johnny Munoz Jr., TKO, R2
I think this will be a closer fight than most people think. Simmons ain't that bad. But I think Jonny will get him. Either way this isn't going to the score cards.

Just watched Kape's last fight before the UFC and he's throwing head kicks with sneakers on, Rizin is ****** weird

I'm in SC so I'm in the same boat. I use bet online but can only parlay the set totals and MLs. Really wanna be able to parlay things like round 2 starts or dngtd for 1.5 total fights. I'll look into bovada. 6 legs should be plenty

Yeah and I don’t know why it stood out to me so much but the fact that Kape was fully wearing pants in Rizin was weird.

Here's a clip of Fiziev and Yan sparring. This might be the closest to seeing Yan "break". It's in a jokey way, but he's getting loose at the end there.

I still can’t believe how Aljamain Sterling beat him for the Battamweight belt. Aljamian outstuck Yan with the most powerful shots I ever seen before  Yan said **** it at broke the rules as a DQ lose look better then a Ko lost

Was so funny tho after when aljo was doing the post interview sat down on stool for the first time in history and the new belt wrapped round him and seeming like he was gonna burst into tears as if he had just woke up from a coma and had no clue what had just happened the chaos of it all was 😂, was a little wwe imo, then partying later that night like none of it ever happened and al iquinta on instagram saying yan should be getting arrested 😂

Real Thoughts on Aljo for the people who want to know

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 620 Points   |   539th Place

I still find it funny people actually blame Aljamain for getting DQ. Petr Yan not knowing the rule was the reason he losed. Blame Yan for being dumb, He know the rules and it wasn't even like it was a re-action. Yan waited to throw the knee, It like he wanted to get DQ. 

.If you think Aljamain is an acter, Your a ******* numbskull idiot as one, The knee was hard and roteting his neck and non of you so called fan who never got hit in the head once and don't know **** about head trauma from one knee going into you skull, Have no right to **** on Aljamian as he one tough ************ and a UFC Champion. I

I troll because that are a suprsingly amount of idiots who belive this and will get mad at me and I just find it funny. I also hope Aljamain beats Petr Yan somehow as he fans are ******** and just bully aljamain who a good guy. Also love how Aljamiin just troll the dumb **** Yan fans

I agree but you cannot condone what Aljo is saying/doing after the loss. You can't give up your heart then pretend like you never lost it. But i agree Yan is a cold blooded killer with a IQ of Schaub's stylist.

Rodriguez vs. Morales
Drako Rodriguez, DEC
Drako is an aggressive fighter and he likes to go first, this is gonna be massive for him against Morales who is a little bit timid and never really throws his hands too much. Drako has got to be careful with any counter shots but he would also be smart to go for those calf kicks, Morales doesn't attempt to check any of them at all and Drako has some decent ones. I do like Drako in this one, I'm not sure if he gets the finish or not but I think he can out point Morales

Fiziev vs. Green
Rafael Fiziev, DEC
This fight is a banger, Green will come to fight and so will Fiziev so I'm expecting a war between these two. Fiziev's kicks are so deadly, the leg kicks, the body kicks and the head kicks, all of them are dangerous and he throws them in every combination. Green needs to be careful with these explosive combinations because he likes to have his hands down and Fiziev can explodes with big hooks and body kicks which cam find a home on Green. Green has a solid jab and straight punch and I think he could have some success with those strikes, Fiziev's boxing defence does lack a little bit but that the issue is Green doesn't really have that much power to change the course of this fight, so I can see Green landing some good shots of his own but I just don't think it'll be enough to completely change the fight where I see Fiziev picking him apart at distance and in close range

Miles Johns vs Santos 
Miles tko round 2, Miles will find a home for that right hook. Santos seems to throw wild bombs while keeping his head sitting still and pretty on a platter!

Alonzo vs Herman
Alonzo tko round 2, Karma is coming for Herman! Yes it was the refs fault but Herman grabbed his junk while on the ground to help his case! Alonzo will hurt this old man once again but he won’t have his balls to save him this time!

Rafael Fiziev vs Bobby Green
Fiziev dec. I might be allergic to watching Fiziev fight bc whenever I do I swell up! No ****! I think……


Gane vs Lewis
Gane tko round 4, Gane will put on another masterpiece!
