Chidi Njokuani, TKO, R1
Njokuani’s has the experience but Sousa has been on DWCS before. I’m leaning towards Njokuani because he uses his range well and has power. Sousa will let him dictate where the fight goes. If not in the first, he’ll get the finish in the second round.

Logan Urban, TKO, R2
Ohio is the home of the greatest boxer of all time Jake Paul. Scary Hulk guy wins.
Sousa vs. Njokuani
Mário Sousa, SUB, R2
Homie Njokuani wins and losses pretty much are determined by the odds. Last time he upset the bettors was in 2015.
Korea vs. Vergara
Bruno Korea, TKO, R3
CJ didn't follow the train and ended up being an MMA fighter. Bruno Korea's gym has a lot of good talent that he's probably training with so I'm going with the Korean. btw Jairo Pacheco from that same gym looks like a good prospect if I could find out how ******* old how he is.
Gafurov vs. Anheliger
Muin Gafurov, DEC
Sorry I can't trust 144p Tajikistan padded record with a chinstrap. atleast Chad has a win over Brady Hiestand.

Josh Quinlan, TKO, R1
This is one of those fights where they've both looked incredible up to this point, but Quinlan has faced stiffer competition so he's my pick. Urban could knock the bumper off a semi truck though so an upset wouldn't be shocking.
Oliveira vs. Alday
José Alday, TKO, R1
Don't even show me the fighters, based on gyms this is my pick regardless.
Gafurov vs. Anheliger
Muin Gafurov, TKO, R2
This guy gave Lineker a run for his money

Almost picked Njokuani cuz i've watched him many times in Bellator & i think this fight is winnable for him, but i didn't pull the trigger
edit: i changed my pick lol
also took this stab on a 4 legger
fight doesn't go to decision -210 is the main event

Somebody is going night night.
Sousa vs. Njokuani
Mário Sousa, TKO, R3
Man, I really don't know in this one either. I actually favor the skills of Chidi, but I think youth and desire prevails here. Chidi is already getting a solid check from Bellator, I'll make a bad justification and pick Sousa to win because he wants it more.

Predictions: 2 of 4 Winners, 1 Perfect, 125 Points | Tied for 508th
I am taking Josh Quinlan at -300. He has a delicious crucifix and a groundbreaking takedown. Quinlan won't finish the corner man.
Oliveira vs. Alday
I appoint Saimon Oliveira at -185. He has a distinctive kouchi gari. Oliveira shall ravage the TV audience. No question!
Gafurov vs. Anheliger
I fancy Muin Gafurov at -310. He has a nutty bear hug. Gafurov will victimize the natural order.
Korea vs. Vergara
I am all over Bruno Korea at -200. He has a bodacious suplex. Korea is about to land the performance.

Josh Quinlan, TKO, R2
Seen Quinlan a couple times on LFA shows and he looked great! Exciting finisher! I feel like he gets another finish here and gets a contract.
Sousa vs. Njokuani
Chidi Njokuani, TKO, R2
Sousa is another guy I'm not agreeing with the Tap consensus! I remember his Contender fight last year, I thought he lost! He was real bad on the ground and the other thing I remember that's gonna matter in this fight, he throws strikes with his chin WAY up in the air!!! Also, similar to the Oliveira Alday fight, Chidi has fought at a much higher level of competition! I think Chidi is gonna wipe this guy out!
Oliveira vs. Alday
José Alday, DEC
Nearly every single week on Contender Series Tap is overly confident in 1 or 2 guys. Oliveira is 1 of them this week!! Couple of red flags for me are he has 5 wins over guys who don't even have a Tap profile, about 10 wins at events that aren't listed! Also team Astra are known for can crushing! Yeah Alday has the worse record on paper but he has fought better guys(5 UFC vets) in the higher quality promotion and his gym, Entram, is on a roll lately.
