Azamat Murzakanov, TKO, R2
Murzakanov should be able to mix in striking and grappling. He can eventually catch Scheffel with something big and get the TKO victory.
Lopes vs. Brito
Joanderson Brito, DEC
Brito to keep it standing and land the better shots to get a win by decision over Lopes.
Altamirano vs. Candelario
Victor Altamirano, SUB, R3
Altamirano is legit wrestler and should be able to take the fight to the mat for a submission win.
Fletcher vs. Damiani
AJ Fletcher, DEC
Fletcher has the wrestling advantage and can grind out a decision win.

Fletcher vs. Damiani
Fletcher ML
Give me some rope here... Fletcher has that "look" in his eyes that I will not bet against. This fight could get called off for Fletcher having severed body parts in his car and I would not be surprised. Either way it will be an entertaing fight. Will not be shocked to see Damiani win ITD.
Altamirano vs. Candelario
Candelario ML
Rolling with the underdog here. The big question mark is who will win the grabbling battle. Altamirano has the higher level success but I'm worried about that TDD. On the flip side, I am worried about Candelario's gas tank. All things considered I am rolling with the + money on the underdog.
Lopes vs. Brito
Brito ML
One rule for life success... never mess with a man that has cauliflower ears. I fully expect Brito to run through Lopes like a warm knife through butter. Side note... if Brito is really 26 then he has been through some ****. Take the + money, sit back, and relax.
Murzakanov vs. Scheffel
Scheffel ML
This line keeps getting further out of control. This is a pure value play. I really like Murzakanov's tools but all it takes in one knock to the melon and you are cashing a +300 ticket.
Best of luck everyone! Stay sweet, and never become sour.

Azamat Murzakanov, TKO, R1
On paper, this **** isn't even close. The level of guys they train with on a daily basis is entirely different and Azamat has beaten some notable names
Lopes vs. Brito
Joanderson Brito, SUB, R1
Brito has beaten better fighters and he looks like he's made of ******* cement
Altamirano vs. Candelario
Victor Altamirano, TKO, R3
Victor is pure violence! I've watched his last 3 fights and he's so entertaining, I really hope he gets into the UFC
Fletcher vs. Damiani
Leonardo Damiani, SUB, R2
How do you choose between a can crusher and an Italian training out of Italy? That's like asking me to choose between a **** sandwich and a piss smoothie
