I think seeing Stewart get out-physical'd three fights in a row, then going up against an even bigger guy. The MMA math is there.

Alessio di Chirico vs Abdul Razak Alhassan

Is this fight actually confirmed? It's nowhere to be seen on the UFC website.

Lol speedo, the UFC website is ironically the worst website for updating the UFC fight cards. They make all this money, pay the fighters less than 20% of profits, and still can't get together a decent web development team.

Starpoints is there some sorta stat algorithm you use for these super specific predictions or are they just numbers out of your ass? Which is fine, I'm just curious.

The UFC site is garbage and never properly updated, here's a link to MMA Junkie saying it's confirmed.

Barboza vs. Chikadze
Edson Barboza, TKO, R4
This main event could legitimately claim a high spot on a PPV card! I was half tempted to pick Edson Barboza by decision but over 5 rounds, I think the chances of him finding a KO increase due to the Giga Chikadze potentially gassing and making a mistake. Having said that, the same is mostly true for Chikadze as well so what I just said could go the other way as well. This certainly isn't the sort of fight that you can afford to make mistakes in and I feel that is gonna be the difference between them. I suppose I'm basically saying that whoever makes the first serious mistake loses and given that Barboza has more experience and has fought tougher opponants, I think it's more likely that Chikadze will make a mistake. I'm certainly not betting on either fighter but I might bet the fight not to go the distance if the odds aren't too bad (not optimistic about that as I'm sure that will get hammered when that market opens).

Really dont know how this main event plays out. These are two of my favorites to watch (and bet on). Barboza is definitely the more proven version of this skill set at the top level, but Chikadze hasn't made one false move yet. We just keep assuming it's going to happen, and then he comes in sharper than the last time.

I really want to see the Main event also, Giga look like he's improving lots, But most of Giga's win are to fighters with aproxment 50-50 record or Batamweight and a few of them are both, the few exception is a 40 year old Cub Swanson and his only good win in Omar Morales who a middle of the pack fighter. This will be a huge step up for Giga, As Edson is at worst a solid ranked fighter. 

This is a real sink or swim fight for Giga, I don't have anything bad to say and it not like he get to chose who he fight, He look good and I can see him giving tons of the featherweight fits as featherweight don't have any wresler for the most part, All he need is decent takedown defence and he be a solid contender. Giga also improving, He went from going to splits with his bad compution, To knocking them out with headkicks, Give it a few year he be a monster.

Razak Alhassan vs. Di Chirico
Alessio Di Chirico, DEC
Real lucky by Di Chirico for taking an easier opponent right now, Alhassan it's defenetelly one of the worst middleweights in the roster. This is probably a resignation eliminator, and I see Di Chirico getting the win.
