I'm sorry I shouldn't be so agressive,  I've drank a bit, but I do believe Reed is underrated here.

McCann vs. Carolina
Molly McCann, DEC
It's a close fight, and while I am leaning McCann, Carolina could pull off an upset. Given that it's in the UK though... unlikely

Herbert vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, SUB, R1
This fight reeks of an upset but I doubt it and hope not

Volkov vs. Aspinall
Tom Aspinall, TKO, R2
Will the pressure of a main event at home get to Aspinall? Will he be prepared for 5 rounds? Only time will tell... but I don't think we'll need 5 for this one

Allen vs. Hooker
Dan Hooker, DEC
As long as the weight cut goes well for Hooker and his chin isn't compromised too much, he wins this by decision. He'll stay on the outside and use his reach and threaten things up the middle to avoid a takedown. Maybe unpopular opinion, but I don't think he'll be taken down this fight, in which case he'll probably win. Might change this once I see him weigh in though

Pimblett vs. Vargas
Paddy Pimblett, SUB, R2
Ugh why are they feeding Paddy cans... I honestly really wish I could pick Vargas, but idt he'll get it done unfortunately

Nelson vs. Sato
Gunnar Nelson, SUB, R2
Gunnar's been out a LONG time, glad to see him back! But also because of that, very tempted to switch my pick to Sato by rnd 1 KO. We'll see...

McCann vs. Carolina
Luana Carolina, DEC
Luana might be a bit slow, but she's tall and much longer and can use her reach with her jab. Meatball's wild strikes are gonna be whiffing and she won't be able to take Luana down if necessary. My guess is Meatball gasses and Luana sc****s by to a decision win

Abdurakhimov vs. Pavlovich
Sergei Pavlovich, TKO, R1
What tf is Shamil's manager doing to him?? Poor guy!

Herbert vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, SUB, R1
I'll pick Topuria, but I'm worried he hasn't fought anyone with the power of Jai. Jai lost to Trinaldo (who he dropped) and Moicano who just went 5 rounds with RDA (granted he got his ass kicked) and knocked out Khama Worthy (glass chin). Topuria went to decision with Zalal (pillow puncher) Damon Jackson (grappler, not a good striker) and Ryan Hall (zero power). This can be a Jai round 1 KO, but I'll take Topuria since I'll assume he closes the distance and gets this fight grounded pretty quickly.

My most sure picks this week. I am almost certain that theres gonna be a time Volkov in danger and Aspinall tries to finish him and gasses himself out. I just dont think dude has 5 round gas tank. Aspinall barely won over Andrei Arlovskii. If that fight went to 3rd round he would have lost.


And idk HOW IN THE HELL CAROLINA IS UNDERDOG this weekend.

If McCann vs Carolina is a close fight and goes to the scorecards, more often than not, McCann is winning. It's happening in London.

Unless there's a specific instance such as Carolina scores two knockdowns across two rounds that clearly win it for her, I could see the judges just awarding the dec to meatball

5 AM US time is a bit vague given that there is a 3-hour gap between coasts. I'm not asking you for the time of something I can google myself in due time, I just felt the need to add this remark to the protocol.

How did Aspinall "barely" win against Arlovski? He smashed him. Complete dominant performance. He ended it by an explosive TD from across half the cage. Doesn't look like something a gassed fighter would do to me. If anything Arlovski was half exhuastion-tapping to a sub that looked somewhat dodgy from being so run over.

I love the people who think cardio is going to be a problem from Aspinall and especially the ones that try to make it seem like he was dead after a first round with Arlovski.

While he did look a bit tired, can you possibly account for him being tired because in the previous round he absolutely UNLOADED on Arlovski. Yeah, that might make you a bit tired...

I'm sure he's learned his lessons when it comes to blowing your load first round when you can finish someone who's tough. If anything, this will be a great learning lesson type fight against Volkov, as everyone is labeling him as some cardio machine (which I don't deny really, but it won't make a difference here to me).

Aspinall by, as my Uncle Weezy says, "ass shaving".
