Dominick Cruz has exactly no charisma and energy. Aside from that he does a great job. Every time I hear his voice, the mood gets sucked away. Even when someone gets rocked/on the verge of being finished its like...DULL. lol

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 430 Points   |   Tied for 2814th

Lewis vs. Gane
Derrick Lewis, TKO, R4
Lewis has unbelievable power and he can take a hit which makes up for his lack of grappling. Moneyline is just too high on Game so I'm going with the underdog no matter how dangerous it is.

Aldo vs. Munhoz
Pedro Munhoz, DEC
Munhoz based his his solid striking and defence.

Luque vs. Chiesa
Michael Chiesa, DEC
Chiesa is a grinder.

Song vs. Kenney
Yadong Song, DEC
Both guys are not that great at defending takedowns, the below average takedown accuracy for Kenney could prove to be an issue.

Fiziev vs. Green
Bobby Green, DEC
You have to consider the power of Fiziev here, but Green has seen his last 9 UFC fights go the distance. He has a very solid chin, so backing this fight to go the distance. Green has the tools to test Fiziev. Durability, wrestling and volume. Going for the underdog by decision.

Leonardo vs. Gatto
Victoria Leonardo, DEC
Gatto with a long lay off. Not sure if she has made any improvements. Easy victory by decision for Fury. 😤

Or 3 years of injuries and a PED suspension depending on how you look at it. 

And moving down to 125 for the first time.

Aldo vs. Munhoz
José Aldo, DEC
This is gonna be a fantastic fight, the power and precision and championship level experience of Aldo vs the pressure, volume, pace and iron chin of Pedro Munhoz. This fight is lined very close for a reason. These two are especially well matched here and I had a hard time picking a winner. In the end I decided to go with the 5 inch reach advantage, superior level of competition faced, and power of Aldo. Fun fact, when Aldo won the WEC featherweight championship in 2009, Pedro Munhoz was 2-0 as a pro. The pick is Aldo by decision.

if gane actually tries to finish lewis and not just point fight, that plays right into derricks wheelhouse. i hope he does.
