Prediction Comments

Predictions: 3 of 5 Winners, 0 Perfect, 180 Points   |   Tied for 466th

Smotritsky vs. Malott
Shimon Smotritsky, TKO, R2
Even being the 21 yo guy, Shimon in the more experienced guy on this bout. Malott only fought in welter vs Benfo(175cm) Malott allways had the reach and weight advantage. In this fight face a young guy who is the most stronger and well rounded (specially in bjj and boxing) .

Barez vs. Hernandez
Daniel Barez, DEC
Probably the potencial fight of the night. Barez is the better striker, he has volume, constant pressure,very good cardio. Hernande never face a fighter like Barez. Hernandez has the background wrestling but Barez is good in grappling too. So.in the 1 st Round probably Hernandez's plan will be succesful but he wont be ready to the pace of Barez

Weems vs. Garcia
Fernie Garcia, DEC
Joshua Weems has more power and that's it. The more experienced,tested and well rounded fighter is Garcia. Joshua Weems probably in the 1st round will be dangerous but his cardio and agression without control will be a key to the victory for Fernie Garcia

Barnes vs. Holmes
Joseph Holmes, SUB, R1
Im goin with more experienced and well rounded guy on this one.

White vs. Valdéz
Genaro Valdéz, TKO, R1
Valdez has a lot of stamina & pace comparing to Patrik White. Both have power on the hands, but the most durable guy here is Valdez

Can't believe I watched tape on this low level stuffs, reminds me of Belator in its infancy pushing the excons who filled their ranks as "Prospects"
Oh wait I guess that hasn't changed doubt anybody is reading this but my ocd wants this to be same as abv.
EDIT THEY CHANGED THE FONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think most people hate Dana White or don't care to watch fights that aren't live, I don't really think it has anything to do with $$$. Isn't fight pass like $5 a month? 🤣 
If you don't have that you probably aren't watching fights on your free time.

I think Weems or White pulls an upset.

As usual with DWCS these are just big ol' guesses. Not enough film on most of these guys.

Fun fact, Joshua Weems is the younger half brother of TUF 5 alumni Wayne Weems.

First four wins of shimon are from opponents with losing records. It’s clear as day mallot has faced tougher competition, i think mallot wins this one

Delicious New Predictions

Predictions: 4 of 4 Winners, 0 Perfect, 200 Points   |   Tied for 409th

Smotritsky vs. Malott
I believe in Mike Malott at -165. He has an obscene uppercut. Malott must prove the crowd noise. Mark my words!

Barnes vs. Holmes
I trust Joseph Holmes at -435. He has a killer jab. Holmes won't unsettle the adversary. I know it!

White vs. Valdéz
I am all about Genaro Valdéz at -510. He has a xenotropic kouchi gari. Valdéz might victimize the dissentient. Easiest pick of the night!

Weems vs. Garcia
I am all about Fernie Garcia at -250. He has a bonkers hane goshi. Garcia can choke the canvas.
