Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 670 Points   |   Tied for 217th

I'm not betting this card but if I were I would go;
Luque
Kape
Johns 

That parlay pays +335. Luque is my only question mark but I don't think he deserves to be even or an underdog to anybody in the division except Usman, Covington and Edwards.

Radioactive New Predictions

Predictions: 7 of 8 Winners, 3 Perfect, 425 Points   |   Tied for 2885th

Torres vs. Hill II
I am all about Tecia Torres at -140. She has an oppulent attitude and a villainous kneebar. Torres could yank the crowd noise.

Kape vs. Osbourne
I predict Manel Kape at -200. He has an amoral bolo punch. Kape should penetrate the adversary.

Johns vs. dos Santos
I trust Miles Johns at -220. He has a casual leg kick. Johns isn't about to zonk the cake. Obey my dog!

Fiziev vs. Green
I am taking Rafael Fiziev at -300. He has a weak kimura. Fiziev could wobble the cycle.

Lewis vs. Gane
I am taking Ciryl Gane at -350. He has a resilient Samoan driver and an integral level change. Gane will damage the opposing forces. For sure!

Munoz Jr. vs. Simmons
I trust Johnny Munoz Jr. at -300. He has a militant head coach. Munoz Jr. won't gargle the rival.

Herman vs. Menifield
I fancy Alonzo Menifield at -250. He has a venomous stutter step. Menifield isn't about to nullify the rival.

Kowalkiewicz vs. Penne
I am loyal to Karolina Kowalkiewicz at -135. She has a trendy clavicle crusher. Kowalkiewicz won't land the production.

Cyril Gane Most significant strikes landed at -275 seems relatively safe to me.
He has double the sig strikes as Lewis.
Lewis hasn't knocked someone out in round 1 since 14 fights ago Gabriel Gonzaga 2016, who avrg slightly less sig strikes as Lewis, late in his career. He is also known to conserve energy from time to time.
Thoughts homies?

Munoz Jr vs. Simmons

Predictions: 3 of 4 Winners, 1 Perfect, 175 Points   |   Tied for 3874th

The confidence in Munoz Jr is surprising to me but who am I. My mantra is always expect the first fight to go either way, seems like underdogs open cards with wins more than favorites do, especially when both are fairly new, and to top it all off they’re both coming off a loss

More significant strikes in that match I presume? (As opposed to the most on the card) I think that's a lock. -275 seems like a steal honestly.

Hope this card will justify the money and the time ....Some fights at least on paper can be classics .

I was going to include Munoz Jr In a parlay but then he shot to like -320 from around -200 seemingly overnight. Just a little bit too unproven to lay that kinda chalk down.

Not saying he would’ve beaten him, definitely believe he would’ve lost regardless but I’m atleast taking that factor into consideration

One thing I say, The more I look into it, The More i think everyone involved in making Giga vs Simmons should be arrested for making such a bad mismatch,
