****. The more money ive made in life the cheaper ive become lol. I would never put that much money on a fight because of the principle and absolute waste. But i am more of a self made person then someone who was given, so that has more to do with the mentality of wasting money. Generally speaking of course.
Gamblings just not my thing......

Prediction Comments
Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 350 Points | Tied for 2507th
José Aldo, DEC
This will be a true tit-for-tat fight. Aldo and Font in the first 3 rounds will go to Jose by a very narrow margin. His boxing offense and all around defense will be the difference maker. Look for Aldo to rip to the liver ducking under Font's straights. Leg kicks will also be a factor. Aldo does gas out, and Font may take over in round 5. But Jose's work in the majority of the rounds will win him a fairly unsurprising decision. He may even mix in a takedown or two, who knows. 48-47/49-46 Aldo. .
Fiziev vs. Riddell
Rafael Fiziev, DEC
I've typed a lot, so I'm just going to say Brad has a striking disadvantage and a wrestling advantage. Fiziev is much faster than Mullarkey who pieced Riddell up.
Crute vs. Hill
Jimmy Crute, DEC
Path to least resistance, wrestle. Crute should without a single doubt look to grapple or at least stall this match a bit. Standing with Hill isn't a good idea. Hill has sizzling speed and power, but I see Crute outsmarting him in a dull fight over the course of 15 minutes.
Guida vs. Santos
Leonardo Santos, DEC
Not as one-sided as people may think. Guida arguably beat Mark O. Madsen. Yes, he's certainly not in his prime. But he's still 'good' and is competing at a high level. Santos is a veteran, and has rattled off a ton of UFC wins. Grant Dawson threw the right shots at the right time, as Leonardo was looking great in that one. Santos in my opinion beats Guida, but I wouldn't be too bewildered to see it go Guida.
Allen vs. Curtis
Brendan Allen, SUB, R2
Curtis needs that home run knockout. When Phil Hawes is smacking you around making you look like a punching bag, it doesn't give me good signs. Allen is better everywhere, and will not underestimate Curtis like Hawes did. He pieces him up, then chokes him out. Chris will make Allen look ready for Adesanya.
Morono vs. Gall
Alex Morono, DEC
Gall is okay. Nothing to write home about. Decent enough striking, overrated jiu-jitsu, and bad cardio. Morono is much better, while he's also nothing to write home about. Crisper hands that are actually good compared to more people than just Mickey, much better patience and cardio, and even grappling. Yes, I know that is a surprise since apparently Gall is some jiu-jitsu ace. I believe he will mix it up and use his patience plus experience to dominate rounds 2-3. Gall is a top 10 level fighter in round 1, but everything proceeding is just mediocre.
Pitolo vs. Todorović
Maki Pitolo, TKO, R1
Who is the tastier out of the two pieces of dog ****? That's this fight. And I think Maki is definitely better. Crisp boxing, and that's about it. Lost in more reasonable fashion, and actually isn't that horrible. Dusko IS that horrible. Little guy thinks his head movement is equivalent to Roy Jones Jr, and fights so ****ily. His defense is atrocious, and Maki will smash him with a coconut bomb right as he slips.
Zhumagulov vs. Kape
Manel Kape
Kape is one of the best fighters in the current 125 landscape. That's why I get so pissed off that he is so tentative. If it wasn't for him giving away rounds with next to no volume, I'd be picking somebody in a title fight involving him. When he does throw, it's fast and hard. Zhalgas doesn't have a clear path, but I think it'll be competitive. One extra comment; I hate when people cry robbery about Kape's fdirst two UFC fights, including Kape himself. You can't expect to win a decision from these judges when you coast for 78% of the round.
Barberena vs. Weeks
Bryan Barberena, TKO, R1
Weeks is a can crusher. Boom Boom snaps his skid via 1st round knockout.
Martin vs. Vlismas
Mallory Martin, SUB, R2
I hate Cheyanne. Dumping your husband because he got cut is such a gold digger move. But being biased isn't a mistake I'd like to make again, so I won't underestimate her. She's not terrible, an explosive fast kickboxer. And Mallory getting dropped and 10-7ed against Vanessa Melo is ******* concerning if I want her to win this. But what else is even more concerning is Conejo doing the same throw against Cheyanne like 10 times and winning dominantly. So I say Martin wins this. Rear naked choke, like she beat Melo.
Menifield vs. Knight
Alonzo Menifield, DEC
Alonzo and William are both steroid munching, power throwing, meatheads who have no essence of technique. Alonzo actually showed he had some patience last time out against Ed Herman, and I think that'll be the difference maker. Alonzo will probably just out point his opponent and will be countering all day. Knight and Menifield will go the distance in my opinion, respecting each other's power.
Puelles vs. Gruetzemacher
Claudio Puelles, DEC
Puelles is more well rounded and technical in all areas. Gritz is a tough and mean fighter, but he's very much a war of attrition kind of guy. He rips shots and is willing a bit too much to take 2 to give 1, and I think he puts on a valiant effort in route to a decision loss. Puelles beats him slightly area and it builds up over time.
Smolka vs. Morales
Louis Smolka, SUB, R2
Smolka is a hot and cold fighter. Somedays he looks like he could give the champ a run for his money, and some days he's just flat. Vince isn't horrible, but very forgettable as he doesn't do anything good and doesn't have a single special skill. Not bad, just incredibly average. And Smolka wins no matter what version shows up. A veteran and finisher at times. I'll go for a D'arce, round 2-3.

Also Font doesn’t check leg kicks and Aldo loves to throw them.
Something to consider.
