Predictions: 6 of 7 Winners, 1 Perfect, 350 Points   |   Tied for 4330th

I would say it is not a step down in competition, but rather a step down in regards to a fighter with a lower ranking than what Kelvin is accustomed to as of late.

Just because someone has only faced scrubs, does not mean they are a step down in competition. If we use this logic with Chimaev - we would never say Gilbert Burns is facing a step out in competition, we’d say “ he’s potentially fighting the next title contender, Chimaev just hasn’t climbed up the rankings as of yet“

Imamov by TKO

No way he gets a tko, gastelum has one of the best chins in the ufc. Sub is way more likely

Sterling asks about a backup fighter in case Yan has visa problems.

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 605 Points   |   Tied for 1234th

It's funny because it's a sign that Sterling and his entourage know they have zero chance in this second fight against Yan. Sterling is the wrestler in the matchup and not only was he unable to ground Yan, but Petr was able to take him down almost 10 times during the fight. Yan has his documents in order (approved visa for the next 3 years) and if his coaches cannot travel to the USA, he can perfectly call the coaches he worked with last year at ATT. It's funny to see how people use political situations and war conflicts for their own convenience. Sterling's only chance is for Petr Yan to do like Andrew Golota in his fights against Rid**** Bowe and get disqualified 2 times against the same opponent (Bowe was a dominant champion in boxing, but Golota managed to outbox him during both fights. Lo even more surprising is that being up in both fights, Golota landed low blows that cost him 2 losses by DQ)

I was with you until you said Imavov by TKO

I don’t even have to explain this one. If he’s winning its gonna be by decision. Kelvin is slightly better than Phil Hawes imo, so if anyone wants to do mma math (which is usless) then Kelvin should win bc Imavov lost to Hawes lol. There’s no denying Imavov skills but who has he beat to lay chalk against someone that has beaten better comp.

The thing is that Gasulum only won 1 fight since may of 2018 when he fought Jacure, He is fighting better compution sure, but I don't think you can even argue Gastulum won any of the 5 fight he lost  against better compution then Nassodine

And I don't even know if Till or Hermanson is better then Nassodine, That can be argue

Damn, I wish the Chris Curtis fight was still going.  He had a good chance at winning that one.  

This is such a great card.  I have Dern/Chimaev/Aldana/Rozenstruik so far.

Nope. The only tape I could find of him was a fight where he was losing every second until he got a spinning back kick to the liver. Second high profile opponent he’s been matched up with. I’m trying to understand what the ufc sees in him that they think he’s worthy of high caliber opponents

It was obvious that was Ladds worst performance yet

Dumont also has pretty elite TDD which took away Ladds path to vic. I’f bet Dumont heavy against Aldana. I think Ladds gonna be able to take down Aldana.
