I like Torres a lot here. I think her volume, speed, and kicks are gonna overmatch Dern. I think if Dern gets her down she'll get back up fairly quick. Could be wrong here. Just trying to see if anyone had any input.

Not sure why you got downvote bombed. Seems like you made a fair analysis of both fighters. Guess they must've skimmed through your post.

Think y'all are rushing a bit to write Garry off. He'll hit a ceiling pretty soon, but I dont think its gonna be now.

I agree dern has bad wrestling and struggles to get her opponents down and her striking is pretty average so unless she can get a submission I don’t see her winning torris also hasn’t been stoped and she has vs the best of the best so I agree

Yes and moneyline also helps you out in the rare chance that it goes to a draw or some kind of no contest.  All the major American books will void out the bet in that case.

I think Gall is a really good dog for this card, I think Micky Gall get to much hate, but he is  a solid UFC welterweight fighter, On the other hand, Mike Mallot is a can crusher, who fights every other year, He fought just over 3 minute in the last 7 years, Also the tape doesn't really impress me, I think cage time is a important thing. Also with fighter like Mallot you wonder if they really want to be fighters, If I truly  wanted to be a MMA fighter, I fight more then 3 time in 7 years


Mallot can get a meme finish early on, but I think a meme finish is Mallot only path to victory, I take the guy who I think will win if it fight go over 2 minutes

The reason he got downvoted is because he's a white belt with a 54% pick rate, and here on tapology, you got people that take this **** as if it's the only thing important in life.

Low pick rate? Downvote.
Low belt color/level? Downvote.
Don't like the person? Downvote.

Bunch of cucks on here.

3 big fights

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 475 Points   |   Tied for 3143rd

Burns will survive a round but is probably going to get ground and pounded (we have to at least assume he can do what John Phillips did). I feel bad for Burns because I feel like he's gonna have to fight Sean Brady after this. 

All I want to say about Yan/Sterling is we were definitely on our way to a Yan finish before he threw that knee. I don't see the rematch being any different. Fight doesn't go the distance .

Finally, I will be putting a little sprinkle on Zombie KO just because the odds are so ridiculous but this fight also likely doesn't go the distance (which is +110 ATM). Volk not a finisher but I like his chances for a KO here. 

I have myself convinced a dog is winning one of these fights.

Chimaev goes for Burns back while standing and does a suplex.  Then GNP for the finish.

I'm prepared for a bunch of upsets on this cards tbh. Just seems like one of those. But I think Chimaev will come out on top, and that's all I care about amongst the rest of the fights

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 340 Points   |   Tied for 4422nd

Volkanovski vs. Jung
Chan Sung Jung, TKO, R2
hoping TKZ pulls this off. really want to see him as champ, but volk is a beast so i wouldnt be shocked if he won by KO instead.

Sterling vs. Yan II
Petr Yan, TKO, R2
in the first fight, aljo gassed in half a round. i expect yan will want to be put a stamp on the victory.

Dern vs. Torres
Tecia Torres, DEC
torres is better than dern on every front. should be a easy majority decision.

Pichel vs. Madsen
Vinc Pichel, TKO, R3
hard fight to predict, but pichel has better striking and a good tank. so i believe he can pull this off

Garry vs. Weeks
Darian Weeks, TKO, R2
darian weeks is being overlooked and is a huge test for garry.

Rozenstruik vs. Tybura
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R1
rozenstruik is a good striker and tybura's chin is weak. all rozenstruik has to do is be active and intentional with his strikes.

Gall vs. Malott
Mike Malott, TKO, R2
50/50 fight, but gall sucks so ill take my chances on malott
