This is the first time I’m picking Lewis to win on here, I think he KO’s Tai

I will say, I retract my statment on this card being a bad PPV, I say at the very minimun, It's an  average PPV now with the addition of Bobby Green vs Nasrat and Tai Tuvisia vs Derrick Lewis, I wanted a few more fights I wanted to see for a $65 and the UFC delivered, And both those fights are banger

I hope rob wins but not sure how. For those that think he will win, how will he?  Will he use the Blachowicz strategy?

O'Neil has done pretty well in the UFC so far.  Surprised they not try to market her more.

I’m pretty sure she’s gonna be the opener to the main card. Sounds like good promotion to me

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 6 Perfect, 625 Points   |   Tied for 1367th

Lewis vs. Tuivasa
Derrick Lewis, TKO, R1
Ah, that's a good fight but nobody wants to see either of them lose, especially not by terrifying KO. Lewis is the more likely to end things with his fists, but Tuivasa has some dangerous knees and elbows in the clinch, and Lewis can be hurt pretty easily, so I wouldn't count anybody out until someone hits the floor.

Hernandez vs. Moicano
Alexander Hernandez, DEC
Very tough fight to predict, but I think Hernandez is making some nice improvements each time he fights.

Haqparast vs. Green
Bobby Green, DEC
Wow Haqparast is a mad man to accept Bobby Green as a replacement, respect, it will be a good fight but I'm afraid Green is a big step above right now...

I think the main card rn is oneil vs modafferri for the opener, schnell vs Perez, brunson vs cannonier, Lewis vs tuivasa, and then izzy vs whittaker

Love Brunson again as a dog. Books continue to give him no respect, and I still do not think Cannonier has great TDD. Plus the 3 round fight favors Brunson to get a decision imo.
Also think Hernandez is a solid dog too. Hernandez should have advantage on the feet and Moicano can be starched. As long as Hernandez doesn't go to the ground with Moicano, think he can win.

Yeah I think winning his last 5 as an underdog should make him favorite, but I think the fight should at least be even odds. Cannoniers tdd is very good at mw (I think around 82%) and it’s also been proven against a great wrestler in jack hermansson. Plus Brunsons chin is not good against the one of the heaviest hitters in the division. He’s definitely a live dog tho. 

For Hernandez I can’t believe the love he’s getting on tapology. Moicano is better everywhere not to mention he’s fighting and losing to better competition.

Hernandez is a better striker but moicano is pretty capable himself. He’s rangy and high volume. Also utilizes leg kicks and good movement as well. He’s the more well rounded fighter and fights much better competition in both wins and losses

Yeah but moicano is better on the ground than he is. If it goes there he is going to be at a bigger advantage, belt doesn’t mean **** the skill of the belt holder does
