Prediction: wrong Njokuani   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Castillo has the takedowns but for some reason I see this being a clinical performance for Njokuani as Castillo is susceptible to being KO'd.

Prediction: correct Castillo   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Please win this Njo. Sadly I need to pick the wrestler for once, but Njokuani can definitely win. Anthony has has tons of trouble with grapplers in the past though so I just have to pick with my head and hope he's improved.

Prediction: correct Castillo   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Njokuani has trouble on the ground and Castillo shot first thing against Bailey. Would like to see Njokuani win but I think he gets subbed.

Prediction: wrong Njokuani   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

The people were booing the decision... I politely disagree with you on both counts.  I do not think Castillo dominated at all.. & the Ross decision was the right decision... I thought that was obvious and I picked Junior to win.

I think the decision was correct. From what I remember Njokani only won the 2nd round.

Prediction: correct Castillo   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Castillo won the first and third round. The second round was very close and  I would have even given the second round to Castillo.

Prediction: wrong Njokuani   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

He absolutely won the 2nd round and the fight, in my opinion.  I value effective striking and damage over take downs followed by inactivity though.  This is why judging in MMA is really going to be hard to standardize.
