I feel like this is a fight where hill could possibly not get robbed if it goes the distance. With most of her robbery decisions, she was a fighting a girl who could strike. Virna can strike, but not on the same level as hill. My only worry is can hill stuff tds for 15 minutes and avoid getting subbed. 

I also really don’t like that jan is coming off of one of his worst performances in the cage, and is coming back pretty quickly after having to pull out of that march card for injury

I agree asking a hill can keep it standing she should win Virna is sub or bust in this matchup

And when people try to leg kick Rakic... he is completely unfazed.  He is a tough sonofa*****.  Either way, I just wouldn't invest much in this fight if you are betting.  But on Tapology, choose with your heart.

I wonder if that neck injury was affecting him in the glover fight because he looked terrible and tapped the second the choke got locked in. He didn’t look like himself at all

What a joke

https://cagesidepress.com/2022/05/08/ufc-274-fan-bonuses-rose-namajunas-awarded-30k/



Figured I'd share this. Can't believe Rose is getting rewarded 30k after putting on the worst fight I've ever watched. 

Not only a piss poor performance but rewarding someone for losing doesn't make a whole lot of sense?

Torres looked good against his DWCS opponent, biggest thing that scares me he barely ever gets out of the 1st round hopefully he just dusts Camacho.

I know Camacho is old, so just hoping Torres doesn't sell the damn fight.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 440 Points   |   Tied for 1045th

Błachowicz vs. Rakić
Aleksandar Rakić, TKO, R2
I think Rakic is going to KO Blachowicz to prove a point, He kinda getting a reputation as a boring fighter, And he's last fight wasn't good, But he did have some cool KO's back in the day and he did **** up Lion Heart, Blachowicz was the champ 6 month ago so I'm not going to count him out, But I think Racic is one of the new fighter at 205

Spann vs. Cutelaba
Ryan Spann, SUB, R2
I love this fight, It's peak Light heavyweight, Dumb and violent, I take Spann not confidently as I think if he doesn't get knock out by something stupid in 4 minute he wins as he has better cardio, But not confendent because I do think they're like a 50% chance he get knockout with something stupid

Smolka vs. Grant
Davey Grant, TKO, R1
I never been high on Smolka, Also think he chin is gone, Davey Grant has close fights with Chito and Yanez and Ko'd Martinez, He should beat Smolka

Chookagian vs. Ribas
Katlyn Chookagian, DEC
I take Chookagian as I think they're a high possibility Ribas could be a 115 fighting at 125, And that make it hard to take down Chook, And even still if Ribas bulk up a bit, It more of a 50-50 fight anyway, Ribas doesn't have to get worry about getting knockout by Chookagain, So Ribas can maybe expose the 55% takedown deffence, But also Chook has a 6 inch height advange so she can use the height to piece her up,

Camacho vs. Torres
Manuel Torres, TKO, R1
I think I'm ********, I thought it was Miguel Torres fighting for a second, And I'm like Camacho back against a 40+year old Torres, But to the fight, It hard not to pick Torres after seing Camacho get slept every fight

Hadley vs. Nascimento
Jake Hadley, DEC
Hadly look like the real deal and I think he survive the scamble of Naccimento and piece him up on the feet

Araujo vs. Lee
Viviane Araujo, DEC
Don't get how 70% of people are picking Lee, Vivi last fight against Chookagian ,everyone was crying robbery, I don't care who won the fight, But to have a close ass fight with Chookagian isn't bad, Also Vivi has a good wrestling game and historically that what give Lee issues

Johnson vs. Patrick
Alan Patrick, TKO, R1
Picking this fight is impossable, I take Patrick because I think Johnson somehow **** up fighting one of the worst fighter on the roster at this point

Jandiroba vs. Hill
Virna Jandiroba, DEC
I can't pick Hill against anyone who is decent by WMMA standards, Her best win in Maryna Moroz, And 2nd best win would be Lookbonme, They're not that good at MMA for even the women standards, Sure Angela fought tons of the best girl, But she lost to every single good female fighter she fought, Even if they are "robborys", The judges gave it to the opponent and at the end of the day, That all that matters, Jandiroba is a decent women fighter,

Candelario vs. Taira
Carlos Candelario, DEC
Don't know much about either guy, I thought Candelairio won his last fight against Altimerarino , So he should be on a win, Dana even sign him because he known he got "robbed", I think he live for the upset as Asain fighter ain't that good at fighter, They're been less then 10 Asian fighter who been good in the UFC, Also being 22 mean he's green, I hope Taira win, As It be cool to see more asains do well in the UFC

Maximov vs. Petroski
Nick Maximov, DEC
I think Cardio is going to win this, They're both good grappler but Petroski can only do it for a round, When Maximov can do it for 3
