I’m pretty sure it’s after the fights. Fans just vote. They gave someone else the 30k last time who didn’t deserve it. Never expect the public to actually do the right thing lol

Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 450 Points   |   Tied for 933rd

Viviane Araujo vs. Andrea Lee
Araujo, DEC
Unlike Lee, Araujo beat Modaferri.  I think she takes KGB.

Virna Jandiroba vs. Angela Hill
Jandiroba, SUB, R1
This is a tough one.  Hill has certainly fought tougher competition, but I like the trajectory Jandiroba's on, and I'm counting on her jujitsu to win this one. 

Katlyn Chookagian vs. Amanda Ribas
Chookagian, DEC
Two tough ladies.  If I felt like doing tape study, they both have wins over other ladies on this card.  I'm more impressed by Chookagian's win over Araujo than by Ribas's win over Jandiroba though.

at least they're willing to fight each other. tired of this ******** of having "friends" in the weight class then they can never get matched up together. such a waste of time

@Miami I would not consider anyone on this card a lock.  Risky card.  Risky sport.  Only the most dominant wrestlers ever approximate locks, IMO.  Only bet what you can afford to lose and still have fun. :)

Predictions: 3 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 215 Points   |   Tied for 3578th

Błachowicz vs. Rakić
Aleksandar Rakić, DEC
Jan looked extremely timid in his last fight against Glover & is now coming off an injury that he suffered in camp leading up to this fight. Rakic has a good fight IQ and will make this a boring fight if that's what it takes to win

Spann vs. Cutelaba
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R1
Maybe Spann gets a ko if Cutelaba fights like an idiot but Spann has no fight IQ & a terrible chin. I see Cutelaba hurting him on the feet then taking him down and beating the **** out of him. Similar to the fight he had against Roundtree

Smolka vs. Grant
Davey Grant, TKO, R1
If Vince Morales can ko Smolka then Davey Grant definitely can. Grant is better than what his record shows

Chookagian vs. Ribas
Katlyn Chookagian, DEC
I just see Kaitlyn staying on the outside & point fighting. I don't see Ribas being able to take her down & if she does I don't see her keeping her there for a long enough time.

Camacho vs. Torres
Manuel Torres, TKO, R1
Camacho made Justin Jaynes look like Josh Emmet. The only thing that scares me is Torres is coming off a first round ko from DWCS & those guys all seem to gas out in their UFC debut.

Hadley vs. Nascimento
Jake Hadley, DEC
This is a tough fight to call but Hadley will the the one getting the takedowns since Nascimento is comfortable off his back but I see Hadley being able to neutralize him.

Araujo vs. Lee
Andrea Lee, DEC
I like the volume ans cardio from lee & she seems to be getting better. I think it'll be a very close fight tho

Johnson vs. Patrick
Alan Patrick, TKO, R1
I'm feeling a spinning back fist ko from Patrick. If that doesn't happen he's probably ****** tho

Jandiroba vs. Hill
Angela Hill, DEC
I say Hill wins every round but probably loses by split decision.

Candelario vs. Taira
Tatsuro Taira, SUB, R2
Carlos is pretty sloppy on the ground & I see Taira capitalizing on those mistakes. The only thing I'm worried about is how Young Taira is but he seems legit

Maximov vs. Petroski
Nick Maximov, DEC
Maximov is just a better version of Petroski.

Is there any examples of actual friends not being matched up by the UFC (or another promotion) because they are friends? Or is it just guys like Burns/Luque saying they will never fight each other. I don’t think the UFC takes into account friendships when match making. I kind of find it respectful when DC said he was moving the LHW because of Cain, but even that probably had to do a lot with DC knowing he could make the weight and the he would have favorable matchups in the weight class.

I don’t even need to watch the video to guess that your “locks” are taira and Maximov because they’re the biggest favorites

So far... I like Chookagian, Grant, and Rakic most confidently.  Rakic because I don't believe Jan is healthy nor as hungry as Rakic, at this time.

I think Andrea Lee has the most value as a pick em'.  Since finding a better boyfriend and getting her mind right, she has been showing what she can be.

I think you have to sprinkle Jandiroba by Split Decision if it is +400 to +500 or better.  With Angela Hill's luck, you can't pass that up.
