Burns vs. Chimaev
Khamzat Chimaev, TKO, R2
I actually can't believe I'm picking him but I am - this guy seems so dangerous everywhere and I think if he wins this and wins it convincingly I don't see why he shouldn't fight the Usman-Edwards winner. Burns is a top worldwide WW.

I don't think Leon will get the title shot  unless it offical before Khamzat fight Burns ,if Khamzat wins they will 100% skip Leon because no one care about Leon and Khamzat vs Usman will be one of the biggest fight of all time, It be stupid business to give Leon the shot over Khamzat, Also It's not like Leon is a clear number 1 contender, If Khamzat clearly beats Burns, It be more impressive then anything Leon did on his 9 fight winning streak

I'm predicting Khamzat Ko Burns on the feet then in July fight Usman for the belt

Leon Edwards is massively overrated. Chimaev utterly obliterates him. Edwards would not win one second of that fight. 10-7's.

The thing is the fights aren't offical to they is a date attach ususlly, UFC can change the fight because It not like they contract signed saying they can't. And  back to my earlier point,  even Leon fans have to agree that the UFC would rather have Khamzat vs Usman rather then Usman vs Leon because it make them way less money, 

And honesly a good win over the number 2 guy in Burns and murdeing 4 other guys is more dersiving of a title shot then Leon 9 fight win streak, I never seen someone did that to 4 people in the UFC before

Volkanovski vs. Jung
Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
Nothing against Volk, but It would be so beautiful to watch TKZ win the title after so many wars in the UFC. Rooting for him, hélas the champ is a really tough fight for him.

Gastelum vs. Imavov
Nassourdine Imavov, DEC
French coach Fernand Lopez (Imavov's coach) is a genius. He created Francis Ngannou, then pushed Ciryl Gané to a title, and now he's changing Imavov into a contender. Add red hot prospect Taylor Lapilus outside the UFC, who might be (re)signed soon, and you have the deserving coach of the year.

Burns vs. Chimaev
Gilbert Burns, DEC
Chimaev proved he's a real talent, and might just run over Burns in a few seconds, but if the brazilian can survive a few scary moments early, I want to see how Chimaev does in a real fight. Does he have cardio ? Is he tough ? Is his chin good ? Can he defend JJB attempts from a real master ? Because if he survives the first shots, Burns will answer all that questions for us. Can't wait.

Garry vs. Weeks
Ian Garry, TKO, R1
Not confident in my pick, as Garry lost every second of his last fight before he got the KO...

Du Plessis vs. Curtis
Dricus Du Plessis, DEC
If Curtis wins this, he needs to fight a top 15 or a top 10.

Rozenstruik vs. Tybura
Marcin Tybura, DEC
Tough fight to predict. Tybura looked a little fragile for a few fights, but he has evolved à la Overeem, knowing that he can't take too much punishment anymore. I think he can survive a few scares on the feet, and grind a tko win in round 2 or 3, but I wouldn't be surprised if Rozenstruik KO's him cold.

Volkanovski vs. Jung
Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
I'm gonna be rooting for TKZ; I'd love to see him finally win a title. But I can't see many ways for him to win here. He's heavy on the front leg in his boxing stance and while he could land a hard counter right or something, I'm definitely not falling back on it. Volk will grind his legs for 2 rounds, then open up on body & head offense. I think he dominates this one.

Gastelum vs. Imavov
Nassourdine Imavov, DEC
I love KG, but Imavov's promising. He's gonna work his legs - he already has two good selections of kicks in the inside body- & leg-kick - and outwork him across 3 rds.

Garry vs. Weeks
Ian Garry, TKO, R1
I believe Garry didn't perform to his potential in his last fight, but he will here! He has great potential, imo - and it's in good guidance.

Aljo will look good in the first round because Pete always loses the first and then he’s going to lose every successive round

I think i'm the only one who want Aljamain to win, I fell bad for him, He did nothing wrong, But he get **** online for it, Yan did a foul, So he got DQ,  You know the way to not get DQ, Follow the rules, Action has consequence. What do people want Aljamain to do, Dodge the knee like it in the matrix, They literally nothing else he could of done,

He gets **** cuz of how he acted afterwards. He threw the belt on the ground like he was ashamed and then posts pictures from his after party saying he fairly won the belt. I know it’s mostly trolling but just show some humility or at least act like you weren’t on your way to losing 49-46. Plus it just shows he’s mentally weak; Anthony smith ate just as bad of a knee and kept going. Sterling acted like he was concussed yet showed 0 symptoms afterwards. He’s just a *****

I think Yan would have finished him either way.

At this point I honestly think Yan is P4P the best MMA fighter in the world. He has no weakness.
