Predictions: 7 of 14 Winners, 1 Perfect, 400 Points | Tied for 2634th
Antônio Arroyo, TKO, R2
Risky pick here but I actually think he can get it done. His kicks are gonna pose a big problem for Buckley who is fairly exposed to them. Arroyo has very long legs which is gonna help against a smaller guy in Buckley who's always looking to close the distance, so if Arroyo's cardio can hold up, especially if there.s less wrestling involved I think he can win it. Buckley tends to walk into strikes and I think Arroyo can hurt Buckley with something, either a straight right as he's coming in or even a front kick

Tony Gravely, TKO, R2
I like Gravely's ability to mix it up. He shoots for takedowns and has very good takedowns and when it gets back to the feet you have to worry about his boxing and his power. I don't like how Maness doesn't really block the shots, he also can get backed up quite easily so because of that I think Gravely can hurt him with his boxing. Maness is a solid boxer himself, I just think defensively he's worse than Gravely so because of that I see Gravely getting the finish

Carlston Harris, SUB, R1
People are sleeping on Harris
Lopez vs. Alateng
Gustavo Lopez, DEC
This is gonna be a banger!
Whitmire vs. Goldy
Hannah Goldy, DEC
This is going to be the Kali Robbins fight all over again. Whitmire is clunky on the feet and will chase the takedown for 3 rounds, eating strikes in the process. Emily does have an aggressive sub game and certainly has chances on the ground, but I doubt she'll get Goldy into her realm.

Arman Tsarukyan, DEC
I would be so shocked if Giagos can somehow pull this off. Arman is better literally everywhere, his striking is cleaner, he has better defence, his takedowns are way better and his top control is much more stronger. Giagos may have an edge in terms of submissions. I think Arman just beats him everywhere, Arman is gonna out strike him and out grapple him, it's gonna be a very good all round performance from Arman I think

Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 1 Perfect, 520 Points | Tied for 1404th
Anthony Smith, SUB, R2
Spann's reach advantage combined with his jab will help him in this fight early, but Smith's leg kicks will slow him down significantly and leave an opening for a takedown, and Smith will be much better on the ground.
Cutelaba vs. Clark
Ion Cutelaba, SUB, R1
I expected Cutelaba to be a bigger favorite here
Böhm vs. Lipski
Mandy Böhm, DEC
I hope Lipski wins but I don't think she will
Giagos vs. Tsarukyan
Arman Tsarukyan, DEC
Tsarukyan would be the next champ if it wasnt for Makhachev.
Maness vs. Gravely
Tony Gravely, DEC
wrasslin
Nchukwi vs. Rodriguez
Tafon Nchukwi, TKO, R1
I feel like Nchukwi has a higher ceiling than Rodriguez and he'll be greatly improved in this fight.
Kianzad vs. Pennington
Pannie Kianzad, DEC
Might consider a Fight Ends Inside Distance prop on this one because I bet it's wacky high
Rong vs. Jenkins
Brandon Jenkins, TKO, R1
I don't care if it's short notice, look at that sick mullet!
Jackson vs. Buys
Montel Jackson, TKO, R1
Jackson is way too big of a favorite here, this is insanity.
Blanchfield vs. Alpar
Erin Blanchfield, DEC
Again, gotta be worth a bet on Alpar here.
Kasanganay vs. Harris
Carlston Harris, SUB, R2
I'm a big fan of Impa but I think Harris has the skill set to make this his fight.
