Prediction Comments
Predictions: 5 of 9 Winners, 1 Perfect, 290 Points | Tied for 4087th
Dustin Poirier, DEC
Poirier will really have to make this dirty. Oliveira is better in all areas in terms of technique and speed, but both can match eachother anywhere. Charles has a lot of heart, but Poirier obviously has more. Poirier cannot wrestle in the middle of the cage, nor should he kickbox with Charles. He should pressure Oliveira against the cage and make it ugly. Dirty boxing, rips to the liver, and takedowns against the cage. Don't give Charles room to slide in a guillotine. Dustin SHOULD win, but Charles has craftiness and risk taking abilites that make him a very hard test for the challenger Dustin Poirier.
Nunes vs. Peña
Amanda Nunes, SUB, R4
Yes, obviously I pick Nunes to win. I'm not delusional. Pena is a test in terms of grit and determination, therefore I think we will see a 4th round. Juliana is going to lose every second of this fight, and she'll get dropped with a head kick or a punching combo and give up her back. Nunes submits her.
Kara-France vs. Garbrandt
Cody Garbrandt, TKO, R1
Kara-France doesn't have the power to knock out a true bantamweight. Cody is a former champion and debunked the critics (including me) of his chin against Rob Font. Cody needs to win this, and I'll bet my ring finger he gets it done.
Emmett vs. Ige
Josh Emmett
Josh just hasn't shown me what Ige has. Ige is very fast and sharp. But I still pick Josh Emmett because of Ige getting mauled by TKZ on the ground for 20 minutes. All Josh has is a single leg and a overhand right, but it's obviously effective and I reckon he gets the win and catapultes himself to a big fight next. Time is running out for him, so if he wants a belt he'll need to pick this contender apart.
Munhoz vs. Cruz
Dominick Cruz, DEC
Pedro Munhoz is starting to become the gatekeeper guy for legends to see how good they still are. That's clearly his role and I think he does well at it. I think this is a very close fight on paper, but Cruz has JUST enough left in the tank to win. This reminds me of a Pacquiao-Ugas, but here I think Pacquiao (Cruz) wins this unlike my example. Pedro will destroy Dom's calves, but Cruz banks enough rounds before it gets too bad so he rides it out. I think he loops 1-2 combos and blast double legs to get it done. Munhoz will land more, but Cruz will look flashier and win a split decision.
Silva vs. Wright
Bruno Silva, TKO, R2
This Silva guy is for real. Wright is a can crusher, and he just isn't the same breed as Bruno. Bruno eeks out his finishes in hard fights, and Wright sort of just steamrolls dudes with horrible records.
Cachoeira vs. Robertson
Gillian Robertson
I agree with -400. If it weren't for the horse**** stand-up call in Priscila's last fight, I'd be predicting a different fight because she would be in Bellator right now. Or in the PFL dogging it out against Vanessa Melo.
