Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 0 Perfect, 250 Points | Tied for 3477th
Chris Daukaus, TKO, R1
I want Daukaus to win, but I think that if Curtis gets even one takedown it's a wrap, his wrestling is still probably the best at HW
Askarov vs. Kara-France
Askar Askarov, SUB, R2
Hopefully Askar makes weight and doesn't blow his chance at #1 contender spot again
Brown vs. Barberena
Bryan Barberena, TKO, R2
Prime Brown wins this I think, but at this stage of his career I think the heavy hands will be a bit too much
Diakiese vs. Borshchev
Viacheslav Borshchev, TKO, R2
FOTN I think. Going with the hype train

Chris Daukaus, TKO, R1
Here's my take on it: Blaydes is the better fighter, yes, but he's content to coast around on the feet for a bit before shooting. That's where I think Chris will shine; he's stupidly fast for a heavyweight, and he packs some serious heat in his hands. Imo, Blaydes could win by implementing his wrestling right away but I don't see that happening. I see Chris landing his signature left hook and making a comeback.
Askarov vs. Kara-France
Askar Askarov, DEC
Gonna be interesting to see if Kai Kara can better fend off chained wrestling, but I don't like his chances of it tbh. Maybe he scores a knockdown for a brief like Moreno... but idk. I see Askar finding his groove. Hope I'm wrong tho!
Dvořák vs. Nicolau
David Dvořák, DEC
Battle of the prospects; fun scrap. Nicolau is really good, and he did better against Kape than I expected him to do. That's an impressive performance, regardless of whether he should've won or lost. But Dvorak is *really* good, and equally, Tim found more success against Matheus than I'd liked, so the pick is Dvorak.

Diakiese is ******

In all honesty, Marc is a pretty decent prospect but the chances of him winning a standup fight with a Russian with over 100 kickboxing bouts is pretty ******’ sparse. I don’t know how far Viacheslav will go in his career but one thing is for sure, Marc ain’t the guy.

Big bet on France, this should be close to a pickem. Askarov is better on the ground but France has an 87% (deserved) TDD and has been looking better and better in his last couple fights, I'm done doubting him.
Standard bet on Barbarena. Potentially close fight and Barbarena is seemingly on a downward trajectory. But so is Matt Brown at age 41. Both are good in clinch fights. Brown might have an edge wrestling but he gets about 1 TD per 15 min last 4 years at a 25% success rate. Barbarena gets taken down on 1/3 attempts but is good at getting to his feet using the cage. Barbarena has good lowkicks that should be effective vs Brown.
I think Barbarena can out-volume and pressure and win either through better gastank or having a stronger chin than Brown.
