Predictions: 5 of 9 Winners, 4 Perfect, 390 Points | Tied for 963rd
Brunson vs. Till
Darren Till, TKO, R3
I don't know with this one. Darren Till has been taken down by every single decent opponent he's face. Well, with the exception of Stephen Thompson, but come on we all know that Wonderboy doesn't play that game. I'm kind of forced into a corner where I have to choose between choosing to trust in Till's get up game or Brunson's chin... I think over 5 rounds I just trust the finishing power of Till more. But I hate everything about this fight from a gambling perspective becuase I could reasonably see Till earning a finish in any given round or I could see Brunson holding him for 3 of 5. It's just not the kind of fight I enjoy seeing Till take on because he's so low volume.
Aspinall vs. Spivak
Tom Aspinall, TKO, R1
Spivak crumbles in the face of adversity. He looked likely to give up to Oleinik if Oleinik had enough youth in him to just get on top one more time. Spivak's gas tank and mentality are huge warning signs for me. Even if Aspinall might have some question marks about him too (Gas tank, defensive wrestling) I just garnered a lot of faith him coming out in that second round against Arlovski. Until proven otherwise I'll trust his ability to find the finish against someone with the striking of Spivak if he can find it against someone with the striking of pitbull.
Zawada vs. Morono
Alex Morono, DEC
Yikes, good luck to anyone betting this fight. Too much inconsistency from both men.
Rountree vs. Bukauskas
Khalil Rountree, TKO, R3
Speaking of inconsistency we have bangok not-so-ready Rountree. Any fight he's in he always has the power and his opponents always feel it, he just struggles with activity and bridging the gap. Only moderate confidence here, but I can easily see Bukauskas poor striking defense causing Rountree to build momentum throughout the fight. Rountree gets stuck against people who are defensively sound on the feet. I think Bukauskas would have more success if he implemented some wrestling here, but he's just not known for doing that.
Vendramini vs. Pimblett
Luigi Vendramini, DEC
I have no idea how Pimblett wins this fight after watching tape. Vendramini is defensively sound on the ground, and if he can survive Ziam on the feet I don't think Pimblett is going to have anything for him there. I just give wrestling and striking to Vendramini, but maybe Paddy wraps something up? Maybe I'm just trying to be edgy, but I have Vendramini here.
Kim vs. McCann
Molly McCann, DEC
1,2 Clinch, Shoot. Rise and repeat 5,000,000 times.
Shore vs. Sholinian
Jack Shore, DEC
I cannot wait to see the scrambles up in this *****. Gonna have a lot of fun watching this fight.
Jourdain vs. Erosa
Charles Jourdain, TKO, R1
Erosa gets stunned in every. single. *******. fight. I mean I'm not kidding he really does get dropped or chicken legged in every single fight. There isn't much tread left on that chin and Jourdain has a lot of power. Pretty confident in this one to end in a finish.
Lungiambula vs. Barriault
Marc-André Barriault, DEC
Boring clinch fest here imo.
Martinez vs. Rojo
Marcelo Rojo, DEC
Martinez isn't the same fighter at 135 in my opinion and I think Rojo either burns through his gas tank or his chin. Rojo can take a shot and keep coming really well and I think he does that better than Martinez deals with blistering pressure.

My one piece of advice when jumping on tickets 25 days away would be make sure you do it on a site that you can cash out your bets. It would really hurt the soul to watch Maximov like fall off the scale with a bad weight cut or some **** and the fight continue with a % deduction and you cant cash out your bet lol
Not just any HW either lol he gave up nearly 55 Lbs in that fight and still out grappled him.
He's part of the Nick Diaz army. Thats proven enough lmao
Yea Fiziev vs Riddell has FOTN potential on any card.

Bovada doesn't have prop odds yet, but hows about Morono-Zawada over 2.5, Jourdain inside distance, and Aspinall as a parlay?

Kim vs. McCann
Ji Yeon Kim, DEC
Good fight, it is pretty close and I think it'll be largely contested on the feet too. McCann has a speed advantage but Kim has a significant power advantage and because of that I think she can land some of her 1-2s and dictate the pace of this fight. It is close though, McCann can back Kim up and apply her pressure too but I'm ever so slightly picking Kim

Jourdain ITD and Aspinall are probably enough to get you juicy odds. I just see different fighters everytime both Moreno and Zawada fight. Who knows what they are gonna do.

Predictions: 5 of 9 Winners, 2 Perfect, 330 Points | Tied for 1601st
I said he’s looked horrible, I didn’t say he was terrible there’s a big difference. Plus you can look horrible for 4:59 seconds of a fight and win in the last second. So like I said he has had some good wins but hasn’t looked good, eg beating a veteran like oleinik is a good win but he looked absolutely terrible in that fight. So there’s nothing mysterious about it at all it makes perfect sense. Granted Spivac is well rounded but aspinall is better in every single department, Spivac stepping in on a weeks notice too, there’s not a chance he beats aspinall, aspinall is gonna shut his lights out quickly, Spivac is wayyyyy too slow.

Brunson vs. Till
Darren Till, DEC
People have been comenting that Till isn't in his best shape but he's a very technical striker and that's the kind of fighting style that gives 37 year old Brunson some troubles. If Darren can defend Derek's takedowns, he should be able to win this fight comfortably.
Aspinall vs. Spivak
Tom Aspinall, TKO, R1
I really don't think this fight will last long. Here we have two heavyweights with heavy hands that like to engage, but overall I give the power advantage to Aspinall.
Zawada vs. Morono
David Zawada, DEC
One of the hardest fights to predict on this card. Should probably be a weird fight, so I'm going with the underdog in Zawada, I think he'll probably "do enough" against Morono in order to get a split decision W here.
Rountree vs. Bukauskas
Modestas Bukauskas, TKO, R3
This card is filled with unpredictable fights, and on this one I'll go with Bukauskas only cause he has a slight size advantage and if he plays smart, he should be able to ground and pound his way into the victory.
Vendramini vs. Pimblett
Paddy Pimblett, DEC
I think this one will be insanely close and it has potential to be "Fight Of The Night". There is a lot of hype coming in on Pimblett but Vendramini is a very solid fighter as well and he won't give Paddy an easy debut. At the end of the day, I think the judges will favor the fighter from England.
Kim vs. McCann
Molly McCann, DEC
Not my most confident pick cause Kim will have a HUGE size advantage here and she also throws with power, but McCann has a lot of heart and if she fights smart and uses her wrestling, she could win this fight.
Shore vs. Sholinian
Jack Shore, SUB, R1
Sholinian is a talented fighter but I just think that Shore will be a very tough debut for him. Jack is one of the most exciting prospects at the moment and I expect him to continue his incredible win streak with a quick finish on Sunday
Jourdain vs. Erosa
Charles Jourdain, TKO, R2
Very interesting fight between two talented featherweights. Erosa will have the size advantage but he left some doubts about his chin in his last fight and now he's fighting a hungry young prospect who is not afraid of chasing the finish. Gotta go with Jourdain on this one.
Lungiambula vs. Barriault
Marc-André Barriault, TKO, R3
I really think that Barriault has grown a lot from his frst 3 losses in the UFC cause ever since he has looked phenomenal. Lungiambula has some dangerous heavy hands but I do see the Canadian fighter getting a late finish here.
Martinez vs. Rojo
Jonathan Martinez, DEC
This looks like a close fight to me but I just see Martinez being the better prepared fighter and getting the decision win here.
Darren Till, DEC
People have been comenting that Till isn't in his best shape but he's a very technical striker and that's the kind of fighting style that gives 37 year old Brunson some troubles. If Darren can defend Derek's takedowns, he should be able to win this fight comfortably.

Pimblett is definitely the kind of guy where UFC are going to gargle his balls if he wins impressively.

Considering this is their third attempt at signing him. they finally got it done. I would assume he gets the royal treatment after his first win.

All i will say is from what I've seen and know of him, grappling wise he is the real deal and I think these are the best odds you're gonna get on him in his next 3-4 fights. especially if they baby him along like an O'malley or something.

Paddy pimblett is not the “real deal” lmao. Cage warriors hand picked opponents for him so he looked amazing in basically all his fights then looked average when he fought good opponents. Even if he wins this fight dominantly I’m still not sold, definitely had a much better chance at featherweight. Ain’t gonna make it far in the division when the top 50 has guys like Davi Ramos, mike Davis etc… and would absolutely destroy this kid. Funny how they match Jai Herbert up with killers his first couple fights, then they’ll give pimblett the O’Malley treatment if he wins this fight

I like zawada there too. He's been facing the much tougher competition than morono.
