Derrick Lewis doing the suck it chops over a moaning corpse of Curtis Blaydes (as I just lost a lot of money) was the ultimate heel turn. I was sad about my money, sad for Curtis who seems like a nice guy with a stutter. And he's over there blaming Herb Dean and laughing like a villain.

Munoz Jr. vs. Simmons
Johnny Munoz Jr., DEC
Going with Munoz Jr here as I think he should have the advantage wherever the fight plays out. Simmons will look to go out there and implement a game plan to take you down but the issue with that is that Munoz is good off of his back and is content to work his BJJ. I’d also say Munoz has the advantage in striking, especially his kicks which he throws a lot of. Think that may frustrate Simmons as they are quick and he is going to be the smaller man in there which means they can be more effective for Munoz. Feel like Munoz Jr should have this one covered in all aspects

Jessica Penne vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz potential FOTN? Yeah Right. Is this Joshua Fabian trolling on Tapology or what type of Darts you been puffing? As far as Aldo vs. Munhoz. Aldo is gonna beat the Dog **** out of him. Bobby Green has a better chance.

I want to include Munoz Jr in a parlay, because I think he's better everywhere, has the size and reach advantage, and we just saw Simmons KO'd by a head kick and Munoz has great kicks. But man... I lost a lot of money on Rafa, and the thought of betting on a mostly unproven prospect again scares me.

Predicting fights is a crapshoot no matter what. But seeing a prospect adrenaline dump and be completely exhausted after 4 minutes is the worst feeling. There's so much fight left and they may even be winning but you can just see they're on borrowed time. At least with a vet you know what to expect.

Since Simmons real name is James Krause. Does the name alone make you scared to bet it? haha

Menifield VS. Herman

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

This will be a matter of if Menifield can get Herman out of there in the 1st round or not, and if he doesn’t does his gas tank hold up. If his gas tank holds up he gets the W easily imo

The difference is rafa took on a savy old balls vet who had nothing to lose. Munoz and Simmons are both up incomers so this is more like a contender series fight than a heavy favorite unproven fighter style fight like last week

@Erison

I've seen a lot of knockouts, but that was quite disturbing but I believe there was a lot of trash talk but still no reason to blame Herb Dean. Makes me laugh everytime 

That's on Herb Dean - Derrick Lewis after nearly killing a man 

There is something very savage about him, but he's likeable giant killing machine 

The only thing I really dislike is he tries to bait guys into punches, like plays possum, take it seriously, man. Gane can't make a single mistake, he can't eat a well placed shot from this man. 5 rounds for Derrick to do it, so Gane might wanna use his kicks similar to Volkov and hurt Derrick early and get him out of there. Not sure what Gane does but I don't see him being in any rush.

@erison I know how you feel I been ****** over in betting the past 2 weeks , rafa gassing in 1 round and then Kyler Phillips and sandhagen both on the wrong end of decisions 

But I'm thinking miles John's and Munoz jr parlay 
And I think Angela hill beats Torres

Закрой поддувало по поводу его не первой молодости матери-старухи, того хлеще спрячь взгляды мамаши. Больше престижа старшим, меньше - молокососам. Прости, после пельменчиков на обед, тебя поджидают лупцующие тумаки, испачканный и помойный Михаэль Чеза.

I think it weird how I'm not picking Derrick Lewis and betting him by KO at +500. I've been saying since the Boser fight that Gane not finishing people will open him up to get knockout randomly at some point as it is heavyweight. Gane has been to decision in 3 of his 6 UFC fight and one of his finish was a heel-hook in the last 15 seconds of a fight, So basically a decision for my point of him being in their to long for Heavyweight. Also Derrick Lewis haven't lost a decision since 2011, Because everyone who tried to play the safe game with Lewis ended up going night night.

But still I think Gane gonna hurt him bad with a body kick as Gane Body kick is probley his best weapon

Leonardo vs. Gatto
Victoria Leonardo, DEC
Gonna go with the underdog Leonardo here. Can’t help but think activity is going to be a key factor as since Gatto last fought Leonardo has had 11 fights. Think Leonardo’s aggressiveness on the feet can give Gatto issues as she has struggled with pressure fighters in the past. Gatto’s subs usually come when she’s on bottom, so it will be smart for Leonardo to not go for takedowns in this one. Too many question marks surrounding Gatto to choose her. Has her style advanced into something unrecognizable when she was away? Not sure, can only work with what I’ve seen so think Leonardo can grind out a decision

Johns vs. dos Santos
Miles Johns, DEC
I picked Johns when these two were previously scheduled to fight and I'm picking him again. Dos Santos has wild striking but I don't think it'll be effective against Johns, Johns keeps everything tighter and his jab is gonna be able to land on Dos Santos whenever he throws it. It'll be used to stop the aggression of Dos Santos and the one thing Johns needs to be careful of is shooting for takedowns and getting caught in guillotines, other than that I think he defends the takedowns and gets this one done
