@Greg Oddsbot has finally reached the point where its adjectival noun-salads are generating ****erotic urban dictionary entries. This was probably always inevitable.

I think it weird how people thinking missing weight by 12 pound is a disadvantage, anything over 5 pounds is a huge advantage as the fighter just cheating as they don’t even try to make weight or is 12 pound bigger, If they miss by one or 2 pounds it make sense as they most likely tried and failed to make weight. Everyone was betting Vettori after the Costa weight fiasco, and I just avoid as I know that Costa has a huge adavatage as he cheated 


I cut weight multiple times in my life, if you miss by 12lb (6kg), you never plan to make weight, they’re are dirty cheater like the steroids users

I think there's an unknown (to us) difference between not cutting weight at all and missing, and then having a bad camp and missing. One's an advantage, one's a disadvantage. I do not think five foot five William Knight has the advantage by fighting at heavyweight.

Full disclosure I would've been tempted to take Grishin if this were an open weight fight all along. Knight's a fascinating what if, but I don't think fighting tall grapplers is where he's gonna thrive.

If Grishin killed himself to make weight, and Knight was chilling, I still might lean Grishin. Not knowing either, I lean Grishin.

Predictions: 7 of 14 Winners, 3 Perfect, 425 Points   |   Tied for 3563rd

Adesanya vs. Whittaker II
Israel Adesanya, TKO, R4
This will be a magnificent fight...Rob will shine and maybe win a round. But I think Israel is ready for a wild 5 round war, and that preparation will give a cardio edge to Izzy and give him enough to put Rob away late in the 4th round.

Lewis vs. Tuivasa
Derrick Lewis, TKO, R2
Bomberman!!! TKO Ref stoppage on the cage saving Tai who will be bloodied from Derrick's bombs.

Cannonier vs. Brunson
Derek Brunson, SUB, R3
I was gonna say Uni 30-26/ 30-27 but I'm going to say Blonde Brunson finishes Jared with a RNC.

Hernandez vs. Moicano
Alexander Hernandez, TKO, R1
Gonna be a very fast finish IMO. Hooks in the first two minutes put Renato to sleep.

Haqparast vs. Green
Bobby Green, DEC
Love this fight. Gonna be a banger but I got Bobby Digital via 29-28x2 30-27x1 Uni.

Arlovski vs. Vanderaa
Andrei Arlovski, DEC
30-27x2 29-28 Uni

Modafferi vs. O'Neill
Casey O'Neill, DEC
29-28 Unanimous decision. Although I'm somewhat rooting for Roxanne.

Phillips vs. Rojo
Kyler Phillips, TKO, R2
TKO Ground and Pound from the mount, Marcelo turns over giving up his back and Kyler reigns down "undefendable" punches

Ulberg vs. Cherant
Fabio Cherant, TKO, R1
I'm going to say a finish happens when both fighters are dry, Huge left hand counter sends Carlos wobbling, Fabio capitalizes. KO'ing Carlos on the cage with straights and hooks.

Lawrence vs. Martinez
Ronnie Lawrence, TKO, R2
Ground and pound ref stoppage.

Malkoun vs. Dobson
AJ Dobson, DEC
30-27x3 Uni

Silva de Andrade vs. Morozov
Sergey Morozov, DEC
Split decision 29-28x2, 28-29

Wells vs. Diamond
Jeremiah Wells, TKO, R2
TKO in the 2nd from unanswerable ground and pound. Elbow punches.

Knight vs. Grishin
William Knight, TKO, R2
Right Hook.

Adesanya vs. Whittaker II
Robert Whittaker, DEC
I think Whittaker can make the adjustments. Israel is no longer a mystery.

Lewis vs. Tuivasa
Derrick Lewis, TKO, R1
Not super confident, but Lewis is in his backyard again....

Cannonier vs. Brunson
Jared Cannonier, TKO, R1
I dunno if Brunson can stop Jared's momentum. ...Probably not.

Hernandez vs. Moicano
Alexander Hernandez, TKO, R1
Good chance Alex comes through with high octane..

Haqparast vs. Green
Nasrat Haqparast, DEC
I think this can go both ways with how Green conducts himself. Nasrat may have a chance.

Arlovski vs. Vanderaa
Jared Vanderaa, DEC
Believe it or not; Jared might have a shot here...

Modafferi vs. O'Neill
Casey O'Neill, TKO, R2
Roxy's reason's for retirement gives me huge concern for her durability. Casey could shock the world....

Phillips vs. Rojo
Kyler Phillips, DEC
Gimme Kyler.

Ulberg vs. Cherant
Carlos Ulberg, TKO, R2
I think Ulberg gets back on track...

Lawrence vs. Martinez
Ronnie Lawrence, SUB, R2
Mana could burn out here....

Malkoun vs. Dobson
AJ Dobson, TKO, R1
Dobson could be too much....

Silva de Andrade vs. Morozov
Sergey Morozov, TKO, R1
Gimme Morozov.
