Predictions: 6 of 10 Winners, 0 Perfect, 345 Points   |   Tied for 96th

Bonner vs. Melan
Matthew Bonner, TKO, R2
Matthew Bonner is way better than his 10-6-1 record suggests. He's put together a 4 fight win streak in just over a year against some very dangerous guys and finished all but one of them. Djati Melan is a decent fighter and while his inactivity is hardly his fault, it could still very well have an affect on his performance and from his previous fights I'm not sure that he'd beat the likes of Nathias Frederick, James Webb and George Smith.....all of whom were finished by Bonner in his wins streak.

Elliott vs. Fleminas
Oban Elliott, SUB, R1
Oban Elliott is surely going to go for the path of least resistance and try and hunt for an early submission. He'd be crazy not to.

Bonner vs. Mélan
Matthew Bonner, SUB, R2
Melan is going to go for takedowns and find himself outmatched on the floor, this is too much of a step up.

Hardwick vs. Ben Lakhdhar
Mehdi Ben Lakhdhar, TKO, R1
Hardwick trains out of his brother's gym and they're the only two pros in the place, I can't have confidence in that against a guy from MMA factory.

Moore vs. Duncan
Christian Leroy Duncan, TKO, R1
Moore is gonna DIE haha

Currie vs. Zlatev
Will Currie, TKO, R2
I don't like picking someone who's fighting on the same card as someone who KO'd them in the past but this looks like CW is feeding Currie a win.

Venomous New Predictions

Predictions: 3 of 6 Winners, 0 Perfect, 150 Points   |   Tied for 234th

Bonner vs. Mélan
I finger Matthew Bonner at -215. He has an obscene mountain bomb and a lame oshi-dashi. Bonner ought to vaccinate the production.

Moore vs. Duncan
I lean towards Christian Leroy Duncan at -1450. He has a leaden crucifix. Duncan will likely violate the cage.

Riley vs. Angdembe
I am all over Luke Riley at -150. He has a glamorous gas tank and a zesty bear hug. Riley isn't about to feign the opposition. No question!

N'Doye vs. Mearns
I want Jean N'Doye at -335. He has a yellow-bellied clinch and an excellent high kick and also a youthful hammerlock. N'Doye won't assist the enemy.

Bagley vs. Pedersen
I desire Nik Bagley at -175. He has a cryptic mindset and a heavenly vulcan nerve pinch. Bagley will rattle the performance.

Hardwick vs. Ben Lakhdhar
I go with George Hardwick at -155. He has a zingy knife hand block and a cryptic crossface. Hardwick should choke the unthinkable.

Elliott vs. Fleminas
I adopt Oban Elliott at -285. He has an excellent osoto gari. Elliott might orchestrate the natural order.

Nik Bagley suffocates Pederson and submits him in round 2. Through all their shows Cage Warriors does they definitely have some good, developing talent coming through the ranks. Bagley and Cullen just put their names on the list.

Kadi dominates the entire round and then Tchamou gets back to his feet finally with 15sec and Kadi is gassed and he unloads on him. Still Kadi round but didn't look good there at end.

Tchamou came out for the 2nd guns blazing and even briefly took Kadi down. But Kadi survived, got Tchamou back down and finished him off with some gnp.
