hills fight iq is too low to know how to defend a takedown so he probably wouldn't drop his guard 😂

Fair enough, I’ll suppose the best take is to sit it out and wait. If Crute loses, DM me your personal address and I’ll send you a birthday cake flavored Mountain Dew and an Asian prostitute

Hahaha. Honestly crute has a pretty good chance at winning the fight, I just think jahmahl is better on the feet. If crute takes him down and holds him down(which is my biggest concern because he hasn’t held anyone down significantly since the Craig fight) then hill is completely ******. Hill was able to get back up pretty easily against darko, but Crute is obviously more suppressive in his top game than darko is

Also another point I forgot to add is that yes, hill is facing guys who are punching bags, but crutes striking defense is sitting at 50% rn so I think hill will be able to get his shots in

Crute is a lock for me ,  same with Morono , Smolka , Azamat , Cheyenne , Kape , Dusko , Santos and Claudio. As well as Brad/Rafael and Aldo/Font going to decision. If you're thinking otherwise , I'd love to hear it.

I think crute wins most likely decision possibly by sub. But I wouldnt wanna bet it. Both beating suspect competition (although crute was doing ok against Smith before that leg kick.) Crute seems like the all around better fighter but when I watch tape hill looks to have much faster hands which is keeping me from betting crute. If hill can keep up t standing I think he can get a upset, we haven't really seen much of his TDD (he voluntarily went into Craig's guard). I kinda wonder what the betting line would look like without both their recent losses. I bet it would be a lot closer to a pick em.

I would take out chladio. I think he gets pieced up if he can't get it down. Also crute, Santos, and dusko I would be wary of but they probably do get it done.

Crute should be able to win this fight.  He has fought and beaten a much higher level of competition than Hill has and he has wrestling/subs as an obvious advantage over Hill.   

I also think Crute has somewhat good fight IQ as well.  When he was getting pieced up by Anthony Smith, he reverted back to his wrestling and took Smith down before his leg gave out.  I think if Hill is landing on Crute, he will go heavy on wrestling and the fight will be his again.  I think Crute's chin is strong enough to withstand shots from Hill if he gets hit with a couple. 

I would say Crute by decision but all of his UFC fights have ended inside the distance so more than likely Crute by finish perhaps?

Zhumagulov vs. Kape
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
due to z.z. having a number of 5 round fights in his career i'll take him by decision here. kape has a losing record in fights that hit the judges scorecards.

Subsy

Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 505 Points   |   Tied for 697th

He has majority finishes , whether by Sub or TKO. He was beating Dawson until the last round and yeah. I think Guida still has heart but I don't see a way he wins , he likes to push forward alot with his guard down plus that'll leave him open for a takedown and leg kicks. Also that 5 inch height and reach advantage will do alot with his rangy striking and when he shoots it'll be easier to get him down . Also , Guida has 8 losses by submission. And after I seen how easy it is to take him down(Madson fight) , I have high confidence Santos can get it done. Lets also not forget he's a 4x BJJ world champion .

I have to disagree with dep about a few things. First off, they’re about even on competition. Sure crute has fought ranked guys, but he’s lost to every step up in competition (not a roast just something I noticed). His wins aren’t much better than hills. Outside of Paul Craig I would say Sam alvey, bukauskas, olekseijuck are around the same level, maybe just slightly better. Not fully sold on the fight iq either. He was clearly at a striking disadvantage against smith and only went to the wrestling once he realized his leg didn’t work. Before that, he was fully content fo stand against the better striker, even after getting hurt multiple times by that jab. If a jab was messing him up on the feet, I worry what hill will do to him with 3 inches more reach than smith and better shot selection.

Also azamat is an absolute lock. Probably my most confident pick on the card

Yeah , I wouldn't underestimate Hill as he shouldn't underestimate Crute. I think it'll be a back and forth fight , probably going to decision if hill can stuff the takedowns or even just get back to his feet. I'm just afraid that he might exert too much energy trying to do so. We'll see. Definitely in for an amazing card.

Oh yeah. This cards gonna be ******* awesome. I like every fight on the card except for Cheyenne/Martin but even then that fights a mismatch so we will probably see a finish
