Everyone is blindly picking Gatto because she beat Karol Rosa and is "undefeated." She was getting beat by Rosa until getting a sub off her back, and the rest of her fights aren't impressive. She could easily be exploited on the feet by Leonardo, or get taken down and held down. Also, this fight will be at 125 instead of 135 so who knows how she'll look at a new weight. Leonardo has only lost to solid competition, and Gatto doesn't have much other than a sub threat.

Lewis vs. Gane
Derrick Lewis, TKO, R3
Gane is a much better fighter but he has some issues with overhands. And Lewis is deceptively long.

Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 630 Points   |   Tied for 469th

Lewis vs. Gane
Ciryl Gane, TKO, R3
Lewis has a puncher's chance against anybody with MUCH lesser cage/fight IQ than Gane. This is gonna be a heavybag workout for him. Gane's leg kicks/body work will get the better of Lewis this fight. His agility and elusiveness will not eat any damn bombs from Lewis. If he wants to he will even snatch a limb from Lewis and make the ref call it off because Lewis refused to tap and Gane takes it as a souvenir. Double chance (t)ko/ Sub

Aldo vs. Munhoz
José Aldo, DEC
3 round Aldo is the most dangerous form there is. Looking forward to see if he can implement his hooks to the body vs Munhoz. Aldo does have good leg kick defense and moves it out of the way pretty good. This is Aldo who lost to only HOLLOWAY, MCGREGOR, VOLKANOVSKI, YAN, AND CLOSE DEC TO MORAES. in the ufc.. This man is still world class and isn't going anywhere.

Luque vs. Chiesa
Vicente Luque, TKO, R2
Luque's striking/grappling is better than Magny. Can't allow the performance Chiesa had hinder my thoughts on this match up. Luque is well rounded everywhere and will make this a dog fight. We've seen Chiesa stopped before let's see if Luque will be another man to do it.

Torres vs. Hill II
Tecia Torres, DEC
I believe this fight will deliver. This is a good match up. Two hyper ass females who throw high volume. Torres path to victory is mixing in her grappling and having top control. Hill will have practiced her TDD immensely this camp so let's see how it pans out. I favor Torres because her grappling is there for her if she needs to resort to it .

Song vs. Kenney
Casey Kenney, DEC
YaDong is still green and needs more time to develop before being thrown into the mix like he is right now. Kenney just got done fighting with Cruz and YaDong shouldn't even be in the same cage as him quite yet. He has a high ceiling and it can be reached but I don't see him winning this one.

Fiziev vs. Green
Rafael Fiziev, TKO, R3
Line is definitely wide here imo. Green won't finish him but he could avoid alot of heavy blows while peppering fiziev en route to a dec. But I do favor fiz aggression and strong strikes this match up. this man is a wrecking ball and this is a pretty good test for each other competition wise in the UFC. Fiz could break him down methodically and chop his legs and compromise it and go for the kill. Can't go against anyone who trained @ tiger muay thai.

Herman vs. Menifield
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R1
Herman should've lost his last fight. **** was the ref doing?

Kowalkiewicz vs. Penne
Jessica Penne, SUB, R2
Penne will make Karolina create an onlyfans after this win. (fingers crossed)

Kape vs. Osbourne
Ode Osbourne, TKO, R2
I don't have a good read on this quite yet. So leaning Osbourne.

Johns vs. dos Santos
Miles Johns, DEC
Johns.

Leonardo vs. Gatto
Melissa Gatto, SUB, R2
Gatto will continue to snatch limbs

Rodriguez vs. Morales
Drako Rodriguez, SUB, R2
Drako sub.

Munoz Jr. vs. Simmons
Johnny Munoz Jr., SUB, R2
Simmons was just here to boost Chikadze's stock. Now he's just here to be cut from the organization after this.

This is the most "Dana White says **** negotiating fighter pay" main event ever. Dana says **** Francis and Jon Jones at the same time. I hope everyone streams the fight and the fighters unionize. Shove it right up Dana's ass. Money over people.

@plusmoney Dude you need to learn how to troll, Insulting people is just the lowest form of troling, I can troll way better then you muppets, See down below are stuff you can say to get a rise out of people, I want to show people how trolling is suspose to be done, I had a good laugh writing these. 


The Calf kick should be banned. How long must we wait before some guy leg have to be abutated before we do something about this

Ciril Gane can't knock anyone out, I think I could last 25 minute with Gane because he hit like a *****. Dude 3 out of his last 4 went to decsion, And the one that wasn't, Was a foul that should of got him DQ over a 60 year old senior citezen. 

Jessica Penne vs Karolina Kawalkievic is fight of the night and if you disagree your a sexist ************* that should be sent to death by ball tickling 

Jose Aldo is so old, He gonna walk out to the cage in a walker, I wouldn't be shock if he has a heart attack the moment he step up on stage

Khabib=Bum, GSP= Bum as wresling is a form of napping, Not a form of fighting. Both of them should of got DQ all the time

Steroid should no only be aloud, But be forced so MMA is full of Chad, no soy boy ***** who are low on testorrone

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

I see Gane playing it smart, keeping distance and cruising to a slow decision win or possibly getting a TKO at some point. Blaydes was winning his fight VS. Lewis but made a dumb mistake to shoot for a takedown even though he was already winning on the feet. 🇫🇷 VS. 🇳🇬 next
