Jacoby vs. Stewart
Dustin Jacoby, DEC
He's the better striker in this fight, much more diverse and more precise so I can see him picking Stewart apart. Stewart's best bet is to grapple but Jacoby has solid TDD, I think Jacoby can keep this fight standing and because of that he gets the win

Alhassan is ******

Predictions: 3 of 5 Winners, 0 Perfect, 180 Points   |   Tied for 3201st

Despite my abhorrent ****ishness towards people that would absolutely kick my ass in a real fight, I have nothing but sadness towards Alhassan. That allegation trial clearly ****** him up and he still hasn’t recovered mentally from it. On top of that, his style hasn’t improved since the Niko Price fight, so his weaknesses are even more glaring and frequent (****** takedown defense, over reliance on wide punches, zero kicking game, explodes too much, blah blah blah) his MMA career is a cautionary tale of how the biggest fights these professionals deal with are often internal. Chirco ain’t really anything special, but his knockout over Black Sean’O Malley shows he has at least some decent technical depth and is game as ****. Alhassan is really just here for a paycheck at this point.

Barboza vs. Chikadze is going to be an incredible fight. Chikadze has the momentum but Barboza looks renewed at 145. No idea who I would give the advantage too, maybe Chikadze but idk. 

Definitely wouldn't want to bet on this fight.

Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 275 Points   |   Tied for 3006th

Barboza vs. Chikadze
Edson Barboza, TKO, R4
Around the same age, gimme experience in Barboza. Don't know about a DEC...

Battle vs. Urbina
Bryan Battle, DEC
Battle is long, uses reach really well and has pretty damn good takedown D. Urbina shouldn't be able to get Battle to the ground, and that is where Urbina would win this one.

Turcios vs. Hiestand
Brady Hiestand, DEC
Hiestand all the way, he had the hardest bracket on TUF 29; made all the fighters look TRASH. Turcios starts slow, think Hiestand will hold him down early just enough for a split.

Lee vs. Rodriguez
Kevin Lee, DEC
Def could see Lee getting caught in a choke. Really have no clue...

Petroski vs. Gillmore
Andre Petroski, SUB, R1
Gillmore has been pitched 2 opportunities?! Gillmore will be lucky to get out the first with the level of wrestling Petroski has.

Meerschaert vs. Muradov
Makhmud Muradov, TKO, R1
Meerschaert is getting SETUP for da BOOT.

Razak Alhassan vs. Di Chirico
Alessio Di Chirico, TKO, R2
Feels bad for Alhassan, Chirico gonna go on a lil ko streak.

Alvey vs. Turman
Sam Alvey, TKO, R3
Turman what are you doing? Go rest, you're speed running your UFC career. Alvey rocksssss decent fighters.

Jacoby vs. Stewart
Dustin Jacoby, DEC
Stewart's IQ just isn't there to capitalize on Jacoby's wrestling.

Aldrich vs. Demopoulos
JJ Aldrich, DEC
Not much to say, Aldrich

Sabatini vs. Emmers
Jamall Emmers, DEC
Footwork and speed, against grappling.

Martinez vs. Cannetti
Mana Martinez, TKO, R1
Mana Martinez is a dynamic striker, setting Guido up to get KO'd.

Alvey vs. Turman
Sam Alvey, TKO, R2
Hard fight to call, especially since both are coming off bad losses. Alvey is the better striker, the thing is he backs himself up all the time and that may open up the takedowns for Turman. But I think Alvey is good enough to keep this one standing, he has the power to finish this one and Turman doesn't really have a good ability to take shots, so it's a risky pick but I think Alvey can finish the fight with a counter check hook

Razak Alhassan vs. Di Chirico
Alessio Di Chirico, DEC
Should be entertaining this, Di Chirico should win, just needs to avoid the power and if he can get out of the 1st round then he should really start dominating from there. He'll be smart to go for some takedowns, he's got decent counter striking and his body kicks would slow down Alhassan a lot quicker. Alhassan likes to throw kicks too, his boxing is a bit wild but he hits very very hard so Di Chirico really does need to watch out for that power, I think he will though and i think he gets the win

TUF season ended? I didn't even watch, and by checking out the photos of the winners and their records, I didn't miss much.

Watch Barboza DESTROY Dan Hooker (not fun to watch, both amazing fighters)

This was hard to watch, and the fact he got sent out for the third. This is the worst I've seen a fighter beaten in a 3 round round fight and Hooker is kill or be killed. 



One thing about Dan is he has absolutely no head movement

Martinez vs. Cannetti
Mana Martinez, TKO, R2
Hard to not pick mana here, but I think Guido getting a sub win or controlly decision is a lot more live than he's being given credit for. Maybe there's tape I havent been able to watch, but I haven't seen mana on the ground at all. He throws big shots that put out these regional guys quick. But he over extends a lot that could leave him open for getting taken down. I mean his one loss was getting taken down and eventually subbed. Guido gets put out quick at times. I don't really discredit the danaa loss too much as he's done this multiple times in the ufc. And Guido had his moments against him and won the first round pretty dominantly against Marlon (yeah yeah he always loses the first blah blah). But I do think mana getting a KO is the most clear path but I wouldn't bet it. Definitely not parlaying the man. Might take a 1 unit shot on over 1.5 hoping Guido goes for takedowns early, but I need +120 at least. Feel like.it will get there everyone thinks it's a quick KO from mana. That's all I got. If you don't like this breakdown I will at least leave you with a fun fact, ants can carry over 300 times their bodyweight.

@Erison or DC. Are you guys able to parlay LFA Invicta and PFL this week? 

If so look into a Cunningham (LFA -Also Bryce Mitchell's cousin), Alejandro Flores (PFL), Kayla Yontef & Brogan Walker Sanchez (Both Invicta)   All 4 seem like locks. Gets you + money as well.
