Even though I thought Sandhagen slightly edged out Dillashaw I think TJ offers the higher challenge to both Yan and Aljo. 



Also, Gaethje-KO-1 

I live both guys and Bronx has found his heart and been fighting back hard for some great impressive wins. He also had more ways to win, obviously. Yet, with all that said, Gaethje-KO-1. I believe his power and vicious killer instinct are gonna make this a hard one to fight back from..definitely scarier than both Chandler and DP, IMO  Bronx so good but that late start vs fast start finisher. He still gets cracked every fight.

I’m exited to see Hernandez vs. Fremd. Hernandez last fight was extremely impressive and I want to see him follow that up with another exciting match up. Regardless where the punch landed getting knocked out by Robocop is nothing to be ashamed of.

whats the consensus on oleinik vs vanderaa ? i think vanderaa scores a standing tko 1st or 2nd rd. i can  definitely see oleinik pulling off the sub win but i just think his time has expired, at almost 45 in june. Vanderaa has fast hands for heavyweight.

Vanderaa is so trash it hurts but I have to stick with my boy! He broke my heart against Arlovski felt like all he had to do was properly cut off the cage but he is pretty BIG for HW and his cardio isn't bad at all for a huge meaty man; Also Spivak had to really work to get Vanderaa down.

I think Vanderaa is more than trash enough to fall here. Honestly don't want to pick Oleinik since he's easy pickings for most competent HWs, but I really believe Jared is that bad. 

Hell, I thought Spivak would get him out of there and instead it turned into a sloppy yet competitive affair.

Sterling vs. Yan II
Petr Yan, TKO, R2
The streets know who won the fight, Yan is the man at 135, he's just stupid and got himself DQ, But in a rematch, Yan gonna murder him quicker because 1.Yan got his reads 2. Is pissed off 3. Aljamain got abuse for a year telling how much of a **** he is. I also think the biggest difference between Yan and Sterling is athlatism, Yan has better cardio, Power, Durabilty, I think Sterling is really good skill wise, Just Yan can fight better because he hits hard and fight for longer

Rozenstruik vs. Tybura
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R1
Pretty confident in Rozenstuik, He has the black-splosive power against chiny Tybura, I think he catch's him at some point

Ladd vs. Pennington
Raquel Pennington, DEC
Boring lame fight, picking Pennington but I couldn't give 2 **** about this, I'm most likely never going to watch this snozefest,

Oleinik vs. Vanderaa
Jared Vanderaa, TKO, R3
I take Vanderaa to beat up Oleink, but i''m not confendent, I can't pick an guy who 44 and turning 45 in 3 month to win a UFC fight, Randy Couture ,Dan Henderson and maybe Anderson Silva are the only people who won UFC fighter at 44+, And at that age you testorone level drop by a significant margin. I know Vanderaa suck ass, But he's also 29 and not 45

Rodriguez vs. Hansen
Piera Rodriguez, DEC
I'm picking Rodriguez because I don't think showing you ******* all over the internet is good sign for a fighter, And Rodriguez has a mean face and spend all her time training instead of doing soft core ****. But women MMA is a coin flip, so proceed with caution

Beyond excited for this card... time to see if Chimaev is the real deal.  I feel that he will ground and pound Burns to oblivion.  First round TKO stoppage.  At least I hope so. 

I think he will fight Colby at some point too in a huge blockbuster trashtalking fight.

Khamzat probably rag dolls him but he’s unbettable at this point. -600 against the #2 welterweight with his best win coming against a chinaman

Oleinik vs. Vanderaa
Jared Vanderaa, DEC
I've thought a lot about this, and it's got slow heavyweight fight written all over it, really. Oleinik's gonna need to attempt takedowns, and he's not very good in that avenue. I think Jared can keep it standing and pick him apart from striking distance.

You could always bet a prop on Khamzat.

To win by KO/TKO, he's +170, and to win inside the distance, -180. Submission is +225 but I wouldn't put money on it

The reason and wording to why you like Rodriguez had me dying 😂🤣.

She's tier 2 on my PRP for this week.


Khamzat + Rosenstruik = +100~

ADD: Rodriguez and Hernandez = +505~

ADD: Garry and Arce = +900~

ADD: Pennington and Torres = +2800~

$1k on top line, $500 on tier 2, $250 on the last two.

Also, taking Khamzat Rounds 1 or 2 @ -125 @ DK for $1k.

BOL to all bettors out there this weekend! BIG WEEKEND!!

Aleksei is the most likely to ruin that, or malott because I have 0 idea what he looks like outside of the first round
