Kamaru Usman, TKO, R3
I see Kamaru easily winning this. His first battle with Colby was intense and fun, but his improvements will allow him to bust Colby up and finish him. Inside 3. In terms of the punch that will cause the stoppage, I say a power jab or a flurry that bleeds through.
Namajunas vs. Zhang II
Rose Namajunas, DEC
Rose caught Zhang off guard the first time with a perfect setup, and I do think this will be a different fight. It will be technical and close. I see Rose using in and out boxing to score a slight lead over Zhang in each round and maybe even winning a very close 50-45. Just slightly outdoing her each round. I see another possibility where Zhang wins late. Rose gasses when people make her fight, and Zhang is gonna make her fight. So Iād say itās 50-50.
Gaethje vs. Chandler
Justin Gaethje, DEC
Chandler is very one dimensional and straight forward with his style of boxing, he throws the same leaping straights from the same angles. Gaethje has more variety and though I believe Chandler has the edge on the mat, Gaethje will pepper those legs and hurt him.
Strickland vs. Rockhold
Luke Rockhold, DEC
Like has a bad chin and thatās why he lost all those fights. Sean can crack but heās not a power threat. Other than the chin, Luke can beat just about anyone. Luke just needs to keep his hands up and fight the right fight.
Edgar vs. Vera
Frankie Edgar, DEC
Edgar is a lot better than Vera. A lot faster, a lot cleaner, and a lot smarter. He lost to Sandhagen but Vera is no Sandhagen. Vera will need to fight a dirty, hard fought war to win but Edgar dances around him for 15 minutes with a few TDs mixed in while Marlon struggles to put together a solid combo.
Shahbazyan vs. Imavov
Nassourdine Imavov
When will they learn to just chill out with Edmen? He got smashed by Brunson, beaten bad by Jack, and now Imavov? I donāt think itās a mismatch or anything, just feel like theyāre trying to get rid of Edmen throwing him the hardest possible matchups. Shouldāve given him a couple tomoato cans so he can put together a streak of wins.
de Randamie vs. Aldana
Germaine de Randamie, DEC
GDR has a lot more tools in her stand up game. Kicks, punches, knees, elbows, and even a solid clinch game. Irene got outclassed last time she fought a good striker in Holm. She has very good boxing herself, but itās too loopy and basic for someone as seasoned as De Randamie. If you excuse me, Iām gonna go throw up for saying this....

He doesnāt have the skill to become a contender and heās a phenomenal gatekeeper but just a gatekeeper. He can beat dudes like Sean or Grant but he canāt beat big names like Aldo. Heās just top 15-10.

score is 1715 to 1790, just make sure you know that's how the game works, so when you lose again, I don't wanna hear you complain
