Edson Barboza, DEC
All I have to say is Giga is good but it’s levels to this and he’s not at that particular level yet.
Lee vs. Rodriguez
Kevin Lee, DEC
Levels. Dude lost to a champion his last fight for crying out loud, how can so many be leaning towards Rodriguez here. Must be personal disliking towards Lee because of his character

JJ Aldrich, TKO, R2
The downvote gang is going to love this one. Demo is very very hittable and have seen her get hurt to where you think a finish is coming multiple times but was close enough to the rounds end to survive. If JJ is going to get her first UFC finish ever, it'll be a fight like this. Demo on the other hand could land a sneaky submission after getting beat up for a while like she did on Sam Hughes. Other than that idk how the hell she wins this fight. 1 unit on dngtd at +215.

Giga Chikadze, DEC
Aaah not a single takedown in sight for this fight. Can't wait for this! Love both of them, and I hate that one of them has to lose. I think either could win, but Giga's been on a roll, so I'm going with him.
Battle vs. Urbina
Bryan Battle, DEC
So sad to see Tresean Gore out cause of injury, I think he would've won; but I'm glad they're giving him a shot anyway. I'm picking Battle in this one. I wasn't impressed with him on the show, but I was even less impressed by Urbina. I don't think either of these 2 will do well in the UFC tbh
Turcios vs. Hiestand
Ricky Turcios, DEC
Turcios is a wild man! This is gonna be fun to watch. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets the KO
Lee vs. Rodriguez
Kevin Lee, DEC
Why did D'Rod take this fight on short notice?? I don't wanna watch him get wrestle ****** :(
Petroski vs. Gillmore
Andre Petroski, SUB, R1
Petroski is huge and he'll gas if this goes passed 1.5 rounds. But lucky for him, Gillmore likes to get finished before then lol just based on his record
Alvey vs. Turman
Wellington Turman, DEC
If Alvey gets the 1st round KO like I originally picked I'm gonna be so mad I changed it. But either way, both these guys are gonna get cut from the UFC soon lol
Martinez vs. Cannetti
Mana Martinez, TKO, R1
Missing weight by that much may have been the best decision for him. He didn't kill himself to get maybe a pound or 2 closer to just miss anyway. So, I think he'll still be 100%, will probably get the KO, and then not be eligible for the bonus. Sucks for him

Giga Chikadze, DEC
This is gonna be so close but I'm going with Giga, would not be shocked regardless of the result whatsoever but I think Giga does a much better job at getting out of danger than Barboza so because of that Giga can avoid the offence and then come back with his own. His liver kick is so dangerous, those body kicks will be so key for him especially since Barboza doesn't really defend to the body that much. Barboza's kicks are gonna be there for him too, especially the leg kicks, that should be his main weapon in this fight so he can slow down the movement of Giga which can then set up the punches to the head. Giga does switch stances, he'll do this to avoid the outside leg kicks of Barboza, he's a very smart kickboxer he'll know how to deal with those leg kicks. This fight is so interesting because of their kickboxing credentials, don't think we'll get much grappling either

Edson Barboza, TKO, R2
great matchup stylistically, IMO barboza should be on a 4 fight winning streak, and his competition has been a lot stronger. anything can happen but i give the edge to barboza with his experience
Lee vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, TKO, R2
D-rod is absolutely elite, im expecting another underwhelming kevin lee performance
Alvey vs. Turman
Sam Alvey, TKO, R2
this one should be a banger! alvey always brings the fight

The 1st forum he ever saw me he said I didn't talk enough MMA meanwhile barely any of his analysis is MMA talk just opinions of a dude who self admitted "didn't watch" 3 of the fights that he is predicting, imagine how much else he doesn't watch Dada5000 haha
