Prediction Comments

Predictions: 4 of 9 Winners, 1 Perfect, 240 Points   |   Tied for 2815th

Rodriguez vs. Dern
Marina Rodriguez, TKO, R3
This is a lock. Dern is one of my favorites but her striking is still a work in progress. She was losing the striking battle to Hannah Cifers until she locked on a leg for dear life. Just a spot for Marina to move up and eventually compete for the title

Elliott vs. Nicolau
Tim Elliott, DEC
Might be the toughest fight of the night to pick. Elliot’s pressure is my deciding factor

Agapova vs. Mazo
Sabina Mazo, DEC
This will be a fight between 2 very similar fighters. I’ll go with the more professional option: Mazo by the skin of her teeth

Hawes vs. Winn
Phil Hawes, TKO, R2
This should be a seemless striking KO for Hawes. Winn is a top wrestler and though Hawes likes to wrestle, Henry Hooft has to be developing a striking gameplan for Hawes

Romanov vs. Vanderaa
Jared Vanderaa, DEC
I really despise Romanov after he robbed Espino of finishing him in the 3rd round of their fight. I think Romanov is better but Vanderaa is tougher. The longer the fight goes the more Vanderaa has a chance.

Rosa vs. Jackson
Charles Rosa, DEC
Rosa as a dog, Damon Jackson lacks the sheer ability to coincide with his experience. Rosa will squeak out another tough decision

Godinez vs. Hughes
Lupita Godinez, TKO, R2
This will be a 100% stand up fight more than likely. Loopy's power might make Sampage quit, mark my words

Ontiveros vs. Garcia
Charlie Ontiveros, DEC
To be honest I don't know enough about either guy in this one. I know Garica is wild he likes to be aggressive and throw big looping shots and Ontiveros has a very unorthodox style of striking where he throws axe kicks and he likes his spinning techniques. Ontiveros is a pretty big underdog which I'm kinda surprised about, I think he's gonna be able to use his range effectively and his footwork will be able to avoid the forward pressure of Garcia

Rodriguez vs. Dern
Marina Rodriguez, DEC
I personally don't get this one - I don't see why Dern is being picked so heavily, her stand-up game is developing but Rodriguez is far stronger in this department. I think she's able to stay off the mat and beat Dern up in the end. I see a late finish with volume or a decision for Rodriguez.

I agree that Rodriguez has the better standup, and even that's an understatement. Rodriquez is definitely the best striker that Dern has had to face, but she's been taken down in each of her last 4 fights. Against Dern, all it takes is one, and if it's in the first round when they're both dry, I think it'll be a short night for Rod.

RangerJW taking Marina down isn't much tho. It's about who was able to take her down and score. Only women able to score on Marina after a takedown was Calvillo and Esparza. Ribas didnt do much nor did Waterson. Dern isn't a takedown grappler so I think the threat of a takedown is much smaller for Marina than in previous matchups

Agapova vs Mazo

Predictions: 6 of 9 Winners, 4 Perfect, 415 Points   |   Tied for 1558th

Mazo DEC
Agapova looks to be the more aggressive fighter, but her striking is pretty sloppy. Once Mazo cracks her chin, she'll be fighting off the back foot for the rest of the fight.

I will say women have a very odd way of finding themselves on the ground against Dern. Randa "Rtard" Markos for instance threw a pointless head kick that took her off her own feet and next thing she knows Dern is on top of her lol Cifers is the one who shot for the takedown first like a moron.... got hip tossed. still ended up on top and tried to engage in the grappling. She Took Nune's (Ansaroff) down pretty easy in her last fight though so I think her takedown's seem improved. Jandrioba also took her down, which obviously she survived and was fine down there but begs the question of why? why put someone on their best path to victory purposely. Fight IQ goes out the window when fighting Dern apparently

Ribas won the round after taking Marina down, so I wouldn't say Ribas didn't do much. This is a matchup where one's strength is the other's weakness. Just a matter of whose weakness is exposed first. For me, I think Dern weathers the storm and gets it down. It's not like Dern won't get hit. She absolutely will. But like HiDefff suggested, people just find ways to end up on the mat with her.

I'm honestly shocked how Sabina Mazo ain't at -500 or more. Agopova  lost to Shana Dobson, And even before she gased, The fight was competive. Sabina Mazo 30-24 Shana Dobson and beat UFC level girl. This fight is such a mismatch.

And can anyone give me anyone I should Parley with Agopova? I'm think Randy Brown?

@DamienHandel, maybe parlay her with Alexander Romanov?  I don't know really.  I would think that Romanov is the biggest lock on the card right?  

*Edit, I see that you chosen Vanderaa to win by sub so I don't know man.

Godinez vs. Hughes
Lupita Godinez, DEC
Just think Godinez is much better, her boxing is much crisper, she hits hard and can defend the takedowns. She can probably get takedowns herself here. I don't think Hughes is UFC caliber at all really, I see her getting out classed everywhere here unfortunately
