Virna Jandiroba, SUB, R2
Love both fighters but I think Jandiroba's JJB is superior to Ribas' and Virna is a tough and durable fighter, so I truly believe in her chances to win this one and I also believe in her potential to reach the top 5 of this division in the future.

Jan Błachowicz, TKO, R1
Expecting Jan to come out fast and show everybody why he is the best 205 pounder in the world right now. He his no rookie, Glover's opponents tend to let him get back into the fight by swarming and giving up their hips. Not Blachowicz..
Yan vs. Sandhagen
Petr Yan, TKO, R3
I'm so excited for this fight, Cory will have to show a tremendous amount of heart. One of his beautiful flying knees could get it done but I feel Yan will get his back and punish.
Makhachev vs. Hooker
Islam Makhachev, DEC
Hooker I'm begging you take your knee and attach it to Makhachev's chin, end this hype once and for all. But unless a miracle walk off KO; Hooker gets mauled..
Volkov vs. Tybura
Alexander Volkov, DEC
Expecting Volkov to use his length and piece Tybura up for 3 rounds, definitely can see a KO here.
Li vs. Chimaev
Khamzat Chimaev, SUB, R2
Do not mind Li picks here, not enough experience for Chimaev is the later rounds... this is going to be juicy!!
Ankalaev vs. Oezdemir
Magomed Ankalaev, TKO, R3
Ankalaev was able to get out of Cutelaba's 1st round even tho Oezdemir is wayyy more deadly, I think Ankalaev will be patient then slowing start to put the pressure on Oezdemir crumbling him late.
Ribas vs. Jandiroba
Amanda Ribas, DEC
Ribas just better everywhere imo.
Tukhugov vs. Ramos
Zubaira Tukhugov, TKO, R1
I imagine Tukhugov have 3 close fights with killers would want to put it on Ramos early getting him out within 5 mins.
Duraev vs. Kopylov
Albert Duraev, SUB, R2
Can't imagine a world where Kopylov can stand Duraev's ground game.
Zaleski vs. Saint-Denis
Benoit Saint-Denis, DEC
Love the dog in Saint-Denis here especially if he can get out of the 1st round should be a easier fight the longer it goes for him.
Oleksiejczuk vs. Gamzatov
Shamil Gamzatov, SUB, R2
Last fight of Oleksiejczuk's didn't impress me, expecting Gamzatov to get this fight to the ground and wear out Oleksiejczuk into submission.
Amirkhani vs. Murphy
Lerone Murphy, DEC
Amirkhani has 5 minutes in him, and losing to Kirk on short notice was not a good look. Murphy is dangerous throughout 3 rounds.
Hu vs. Petroski
Andre Petroski, DEC
Was on the Petroski gets it done early train until I saw the weigh ins + letting Gillmore into the 3rd round is not a good look. Honestly might switch to Hu if anybody I trust on YouTube persuades me.
Ulanbekov vs. Nascimento
Tagir Ulanbekov, DEC
Should be a good fight in the stand-up but Tagir is dangerous everywhere this fight goes. Love this to start the card, even though I'll be sleeping after work and will have to rewatch ;(

Volkan Oezdemir, TKO, R3
This one will be an absolute war! Even if Ankalaev seems to be a clear favorite, it's not that obvious to me. First factor, experience. Volkan, even if he has lost to some of those guys, has fought top level opponents like Cormier, Reyes, Smith or Rakic whereas Ankalaev, even if he's got a 15-1 record, has won to fighters between average and decent. Second factor, the reach. In the UFC Ankalaev has often won to guys with inferior or similar reach and he was less convincing last time against Krylov who had a reach advantage, so I think that an equal reach combined to Volkan's striking could be an important factor. Third factor, pressure. Volkan comes as an underdog who's been knocked out by a now future title contender and highlight reel maker, as I said before, he's fought some of the best in the division and he's got nothing to prove anymore. On the contrary, Ankalaev is a rising prospect who's got everything to lose as Volkan is no longer considered as a top fighter in the division so people don't expect anything less than a unanimous decision win, and he was not really convincing last time against Krylov who is a decent fighter but certainly not a top fighter. And the X factor to me, is Volkan's knockout power, I think he could finish Ankalaev.

Yan vs. Sandhagen
Petr Yan, DEC
One of the only times I've picked against Elevation, but that's because I think Yan might end up being one of the best ever.
Makhachev vs. Hooker
Islam Makhachev, SUB, R3
Hooker is a badass, but this is not a good matchup for him or anyone.
Volkov vs. Tybura

Ulanbekov vs. Nascimento
Tagir Ulanbekov, DEC
I try not to pick someone if they're fighting on the same card as someone who beat them before, and Ricardo Ramos handed Nascimento his second loss. That being said, I hope he earns a rematch

Islam Makhachev, DEC
As much as I Respect Dan for taking this fight I don’t see him winning I know he could stuff the takedowns and clip Islam but I don’t see it happening I see hooker possibly winning the first round and then losing the second and third with Islam in top control possibly a split decision incoming
Ankalaev vs. Oezdemir
Magomed Ankalaev, TKO, R1
Magomed is fast has good striking and good wrestling and I believe he’s all around better then volkan but it won’t go to the judges hands seeing how powerful magomed really is
Ribas vs. Jandiroba
Virna Jandiroba, SUB, R1
Going wild with virna by sub but I do believe she wins by decision at the very least her fight with Mackenzie dern was very close and I think this time out she’ll be a little more aggressive because ribas is a very similar fighter to dern

Jan Błachowicz, TKO, R2
unsure glover will be able to push for the td like he normally would be able to against others and jan might have the power edge to make him pay for attempts.
Yan vs. Sandhagen
Petr Yan, TKO, R3
i thought cory beat tj so this is the right fight to make with sterling out. thinking yan figures out the distance by r2 or 3 and takes over. wouldn't mind being wrong!
Makhachev vs. Hooker
Islam Makhachev, SUB, R2
this is still a big step up for islam, but i think he's the type of pressure fighter that can really suffocate the long limbs of hooker.
Volkov vs. Tybura
Alexander Volkov, DEC
i like the matchup, could be a fun outside fight if tybura can't find a way to close distance and find his hips. capable of winning there too, but standup we'd figure should favor volkov.
Li vs. Chimaev
Khamzat Chimaev, TKO, R1
love me some jingliang, but i feel like he'll be too eager to oblige chimaev wherever he chooses to fight and it's gonna get him clipped.
Ankalaev vs. Oezdemir
Magomed Ankalaev, TKO, R2
volkan could possibly win a boxing affair, but if he fails to defend early td's then it could get ugly.
Ribas vs. Jandiroba
Amanda Ribas, DEC
could be some fun scrambles here, but i feel like ribas has the ability to neutralize virna's ground game and force a standup battle.
Tukhugov vs. Ramos
Zubaira Tukhugov, DEC
i think tukhugov can win the standup portion and that ramos won't be able to threaten enough off his back.
Duraev vs. Kopylov
Albert Duraev, SUB, R2
just kinda reading the hype/momentum here. getting subbed by roberson seems like something duraev could execute too.
Zaleski vs. Saint-Denis
Elizeu Zaleski, DEC
don't know enough about benoit's takedown game, but if he gets stuck boxing then that's good for zaleski i'd imagine.
Oleksiejczuk vs. Gamzatov
Michał Oleksiejczuk, DEC
gotta find an underdog where i can and even though i like shamil, he doesn't blow me away or have a truly dominant pressure game as of yet so i think michal could keep it standing and land the more meaningful shots.
Amirkhani vs. Murphy
Lerone Murphy, DEC
makwan will probably have his explosive moments, but i'm expecting murphy to be the one landing volume and pushing the pace.
Hu vs. Petroski
Andre Petroski, SUB, R1
hu has lost to 2 guys that were never ufc level to begin with, i'm not sure the size advantage will be enough.
Ulanbekov vs. Nascimento
Tagir Ulanbekov, DEC
might be more competitive than anticipated, but i think i still gotta go with tagir just based off hype/familiarity.
