I'm with you on all that 100%. That's how I felt too and you've given me all I need to say **** whatever else I was thinking. I'm taking Aldana with confidence, just like I initially thought.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 600 Points   |   Tied for 1297th

Gall vs. Malott
Mike Malott, TKO, R2
If this becomes a standup fight which it might malott is the better striker and will knock him out

Arce vs. Santos
Julio Arce, DEC
Have no idea who Santos is tbh and Arce might’ve gotten knocked out in his last fight but come on that was by song yadong I see Julio taking a UD

Garry vs. Weeks
Ian Garry, DEC
Ian probably finishes this fight but weeks is pretty tough and I could see weeks winning the first round gassing and Garry starts to pick him apart with the leg kicks and 1 2’s

Pichel vs. Madsen
Mark Madsen, SUB, R2
Closer fight then the odds would tell you Pichel is very good and is good on the floor so this could be a striking Match but I think Mark has the power to hit the chin get a takedown and finish it

Rodriguez vs. Hansen
Piera Rodriguez, TKO, R3
Don’t know Rodriguez but Hansen is not good

Rozenstruik vs. Tybura
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R1
tybura does not have a chin and rozenstruik throws a heavy punch when he’s ready too he’s very calculated and I don’t think tybura can hold him down the way blaydes did

Du Plessis vs. Hernandez
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R1
Du plessis is a beast I also think this is a easy fight for him Anthony will not go out their and sub him I see du plessis knocking his head off

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 600 Points   |   Tied for 1297th

Volkanovski vs. Jung
Alexander Volkanovski, TKO, R4
A give me fight for volkanovski TKZ has proved me wrong before and I know anything can happen but volkanovski should dominate his way to a finish

Sterling vs. Yan II
Petr Yan, DEC
We saw what happened in the first fight it will happen again with hopefully no illegal shots thrown Aljo I’m not a hater but you shouldn’t be champ in the first place man

Dern vs. Torres
Tecia Torres, DEC
I think Torres is not going to let dern take her down she’s not going to engage on the floor and Torres is defiantly the better striker here

Gastelum vs. Imavov
Nassourdine Imavov, SUB, R2
The height difference is key here as imavov is very technical and gastelum likes to rush in I see imavov piecing him up getting a takedown and finishing it their

Burns vs. Chimaev
Khamzat Chimaev, TKO, R1
Khamzat is coming to kill once again he’s a wrestler which is a nightmare matchup for the bjj guys and he has the reach and way more power then burns I see Khamzat knocking burns out on the feet

Aldana vs. Ladd
Irene Aldana, TKO, R2
Aldana should have great TDD by now with all the wrestlers she’s faced aspen will be another fighter who tries to take her down and I have to give aldana the striking advantage

hype. and when burns fought usman he was deemed a "god" 

burns is honestly a good test for khamzat, he has ko power and amazing bjj. khamzat prolly should be the favorite but the line is off. burns shouldnt be a 4-1 dog here

I think a lot of people and banking on sheer size power and wrestling. Burns is a smaller 170 used to be a 55er. Khamzat a big 170. looks like an 85er. Aside from just the pure hype I do think the size plays a factor into how some people are playing this line.

I’d think his tdd is part of the reason too. Burns only has like a 50% tdd

I feel like most BJJ players have fairly low TDD because not only do they not mind being down there. They are confident they can find sweeps or subs after being taken down. Overall its where they want to be so most don't try as hard to stop it.

Yeah but it’s just concerning when facing a wrestler as suppressive as Khamzat

Lets be real. Khamzat is a future champ. He is gonna dominate burns and look like a -2000 favourite. Only kamaru and colby can give him problems

Are you nuts? Durable is what he is, you take a punch from Usman and recover. That's durability.

He broke his jaw in the first fight and the stoppage was early
