Prediction Comments
Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 5 Perfect, 630 Points | Tied for 508th
Charles Oliveira, SUB, R3
Gotta survive big shots early, use precision striking from distance, and then time a take down.
Namajunas vs. Esparza II
Rose Namajunas, TKO, R3
I fear the constant take downs by Carla might be enough to win the fight. Hoping Rose head kicks her.
Chandler vs. Ferguson
Michael Chandler, DEC
Chandler clips and then wrestle F's him.
St. Preux vs. Rua II
Maurício Rua, DEC
OSP by TKO or Rua by decision. OSP TKO is more likely but I've got a weird feeling.
Cerrone vs. Lauzon
Donald Cerrone, SUB, R2
Rides off into the sunset
Brown vs. Williams
Randy Brown, DEC
Technique vs power. 50/50 fight
Trinaldo vs. Roberts
Francisco Trinaldo, DEC
The old man pulls one more out.
Chiasson vs. Dumont
Norma Dumont, DEC
Trickier fight than people think
Royval vs. Schnell
Brandon Royval, TKO, R1
Murder time
Ivanov vs. Rogério de Lima
Blagoy Ivanov, SUB, R2
Gotta survive the first three minutes and get it to the ground
Fialho vs. VanCamp
Andre Fialho, TKO, R1
Murder punch
Cortez vs. Gatto
Tracy Cortez, DEC
Gatto won't be able to sub her........... hopefully
Rodrigues vs. Vergara
Kleydson Rodrigues, TKO, R1
Murder ish
Godinez vs. Carnelossi
Lupita Godinez, DEC
Loopy will keep her man arms pinned to the mat
Newson vs. Garcia
Fernie Garcia, DEC

Justin Gaethje, TKO, R2
Zero confidence in picking this fight. But I think Gaethje has the best style to give Bronx problems. Blood and guts pressure with strong striking across all three dimensions. Du Bronx is losing every fight until he's the one going forward. Chandler, Poirier, Lee, etc. If you see Justin start taking backwards steps just slam the line on Oliveira. The other component is that, what I believe to be, Oliveira's single greatist strikes are also what puts Justin out: the knee and the shovel uppercut. So Oliveira is very live for a KO here, I just can't resist dog money on Gaethje in what I consider to be a 50/50 fight.
Cortez vs. Gatto
Melissa Gatto, SUB, R2
I just think that one of the subs is gonna stick when Cortez gets desperate for another takedown. Gatto will probably be losing this fight until she's not.
Rodrigues vs. Vergara
Kleydson Rodrigues, DEC
KR is a dumb nickname but he should be able to follow the same path to victory that Ode Osbourne had with a better gas tank tbh. I expect this to be an at range Kickboxing fight with KR just overwhelming Vergara and making Vergara miss a lot.
Godinez vs. Carnelossi
Lupita Godinez, DEC
Loopy was my favorite female signing ever. I enjoyed every single fight of hers before getting to the big show. She hasn't been quite up to what I thought her potential was, but I think this fight she's a deserved favorite. Probably by a decision, she's a busy blood and guts fighter. Maybe undeserved, but I liken her to a less skilled female Tony Ferguson.

I'm in no way ruling out Carnelossi being on the sauce right now, I'm just saying we can't know WHEN it happened.
Again could be wrong.

Charles Oliveira, TKO, R2
Gaethje is praying that he fights 2017 Charles, but that man died in front of Paul Felder and all that's left is a monster who finished all of his last 10 fights except Ferguson, who should have tapped to the armbar.
Namajunas vs. Esparza II
Rose Namajunas, TKO, R1
If Esparza grinds out a wrestling/clinch-heavy decision I wouldn't be surprised at all.
Chandler vs. Ferguson
Michael Chandler, TKO, R2
Going with my gut, this was my pick as soon as I heard rumor of this matchup and I'm sticking with it.
Cerrone vs. Lauzon
Joe Lauzon, TKO, R3
Hopefully these guys both retire after this one
Fialho vs. VanCamp
Andre Fialho, TKO, R1
The biggest concern here is two weight cuts in a month
