I like Manon but Maia is a big step up. Daukaus came in nice and heavy but I still don't like his chances.

Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R3
daukaus either catches him early or he starts getting broken down and eventually finished from gnp.
Wood vs. Grasso
Alexa Grasso, DEC
thinking grasso will be able to get inside and avoid big knees/elbows and may have the better tank.
Brown vs. Barberena
Matt Brown, TKO, R1
don't trust either, but brown will be motivated.
Askarov vs. Kara-France
Askar Askarov, DEC
kai can catch him, but askar likely gets inside and drags it down.
Oleinik vs. Latifi
Ilir Latifi, DEC
would like to see a fun boa win, but i'll say latifi can avoid the ezekiel/frontnaked.
Diakiese vs. Borshchev
Viacheslav Borshchev, DEC
i think marc can survive the striking exchanges, but may still lose on volume and power.
Magny vs. Griffin
Neil Magny, DEC
range and discipline.
McMann vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
rosa figures to have the standup advantage and i'll go with the crowd and say mcmann won't be able to end up on top for relevant amounts of time.
Danaa vs. Gutierrez
Chris Gutierrez, DEC
batgirl is probably gonna attempt to push the pace as hard as he can, i'll say chris can manage distance and counter until he gets tired.
Khizriev vs. Tiuliulin
Aliaskhab Khizriev, SUB, R2
skeptical of denis' competition, khizriev seems to be a legitimate prospect.
Maia vs. Fiorot
Manon Fiorot, DEC
maia isn't gonna make anything easy, but fiorot should control the striking if she can manage distance. wouldn't be surprised to see maia get on top at some point though.
Dvořák vs. Nicolau
David Dvořák, TKO, R2
kinda buying the hype on dvorak, he could sting nicolau.
Saldaña vs. Souza
Bruno Souza, DEC
the swing in odds has me questioning and the scorecards historically have favored souza more.

Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R4
Chris has a sneaky shovel hoot and uppercut similar to how Blaydes got caught by Lewis. But I rate Blades everywhere over Daukaus, and over Lewis for that matter. It's just a matter of being perfect at heavyweight cause everyone has power, but I think Blaydes could eat some shots from Daukaus unlike Lewis and Ngannou. Fairly confident he wins, but it'll probably be later if he plays it safe.
Brown vs. Barberena
Bryan Barberena, DEC
Yikes, who do you pick. They are both slower, Bryan has better output but cycles his hands so much it's not really hard to find his chin. But his chin holds up pretty well. This is a pretty flip floppy fight in my mind, but I'll count of Barberena's chin to hold and volume to earn him 2 of 3.
Askarov vs. Kara-France
Askar Askarov, DEC
Askar has a shoot rinse-and-repeat style that is fundamentally backed by his phenomenal cardio. Kai has the superior striking and nobody is questioning that, but I don't think he can navigate his way clear to avoid the persistant takedowns. A lot closer than the odds have it pinned, but I'd say Askar wins 10/10 times, he just won't make it look easy any of those 10 times.
Oleinik vs. Latifi
Ilir Latifi, TKO, R1
Latifi looks so terrifying at heavyweight until you realize how short he is. Oleinik needs a trip in the first round or Latifi is gonna win. I don't pick one trick ponies, so I'll go with Latifi, but nobody is happy about it.
Diakiese vs. Borshchev
Viacheslav Borshchev, TKO, R3
Borschev got tagged so much in his last fight because he showed zero respect to Bush. I think he shows a more measured pace here, but eventually lowers the guard of Diakese with his body shots enough to land a cracker up top. If Diakise goes out with his wrestling shoes though, he has the striking chops to win if he uses his fitins smartly.
Magny vs. Griffin
Neil Magny, DEC
Max Griffin wins the first and Magny wins the last 2 with a decent chance for a finish in the 3rd.
McMann vs. Rosa
Sara McMann, DEC
In my eyes this is Sara McMann's fight all day as long as she has literally ANY tread left on the tires. The live bet is if she sinks in a sweet arm triangle but fails to get it in the first, then slam the Rosa line because McMann will absolutely gas herself going for subs.
Danaa vs. Gutierrez
Batgerel Danaa, TKO, R2
Leg kick. Leg kick. Leg kick---->counter---->Zzzzzzz. It'll happen at some point I'm almost positive.
Khizriev vs. Tiuliulin
Aliaskhab Khizriev, TKO, R1
Mismatch but the needed a body for Khizriev. Tiuliulin will have very poor sucess in the UFC unless he uses his first fight to fund a switch to a better camp with better training partners. Because he can bully regional turds with straight line forward striking, but that won't work on anyone with footwork or wrestling. Now watch him 1,2 step his way to a 10 second knockout lol.
Dvořák vs. Nicolau
David Dvořák, DEC
Fight of the night no doubt about it. Close and competetive, bigger cage favors Dvorak so that's about the only defining factor I can use to make a decision. This fight is really more about learning where each fighter's ceiling really is at.
Saldaña vs. Souza
Bruno Souza, DEC
I've said my piece earlier in the thread. Bruno looked pretty good against Melsik who is a far superior striker than Saldana. Really he just lost on leg kicks and the fact that Melsik rolled with the shots better. That was on 6.5 days notice. I think with a full camp we see him much more mobile in a big cage to cleanly outpoint Saldana across all three rounds. Will it be exciting? No, not at all.

Curtis Blaydes, DEC
25 min wrestle fest? But I hope Blades can put in some GnP and finish it.
Wood vs. Grasso
Alexa Grasso, DEC
Grasso a little bit faster and better hands, makes the difference in a tight decision.
Brown vs. Barberena
Matt Brown, DEC
Brown is the more technical fighter here but Barbarena is tough to finish.
Askarov vs. Kara-France
Askar Askarov, SUB, R2
Askarovs wrestling and grappling will be too much.
Oleinik vs. Latifi
Ilir Latifi, TKO, R1
Latifi is built like a cube and will be very hard to submit. Hopefully he can show some of his power before the gas tank fails.
Diakiese vs. Borshchev
Marc Diakiese, DEC
Russian dude looked good last time but Diakiese is a step up in competition and I think he's more well rounded and can use that.
Magny vs. Griffin
Neil Magny, DEC
Magny does what Magny does and gets a 30-27.
McMann vs. Rosa
Sara McMann, DEC
Cant remember Rosas fights but hasnt fought the best competition. Think McMann can get back with a win with her wrestling.
Danaa vs. Gutierrez
Chris Gutierrez, DEC
El Guapo with the leg kicks? Coin flip here.
Khizriev vs. Tiuliulin
Aliaskhab Khizriev, SUB, R1
Dont know either here but going with the Dagestani dude here.
Maia vs. Fiorot
Manon Fiorot, DEC
On the Fiorot hype train.
Dvořák vs. Nicolau
Matheus Nicolau, SUB, R2
Dvorak better on the feet and Nicolau on the ground, coin flip to the later.
Saldaña vs. Souza
Luis Saldaña, DEC
Dont remember either dude here... Coin flip to Saldana.
