Lawler vs. Barberena
Robbie Lawler, DEC
I really really want to go KO in the third round but I do know that Bryan had a chin and hasn't been knocked out in awhile. I do expect a brawl. The only way I see this going to the ground is if Robbie needs an alternative. I honestly wish this was at 185 and I'd be even more comfortable picking Robbie, this could easily be the other way around.... we'll see.

Riddell vs. Turner
Jalin Turner, TKO, R2
I personally think Turner is a match-up nightmare for Riddell. Turner is hot as of late and I think the reach difference becomes a issue for Riddell. Yes Riddell is a solid fighter with some good stand up, but the ground difference is also gonna be a issue because Jalin is no slouch on the ground and has a very solid submission game. Brad has never won by Submission, one of his two losses are by it, and he hasn't been able to get a finish in several fights, albeit all being victories except Fiziev

Munhoz vs. O'Malley
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R1
There's really no other way I can go with this. Munhoz to be is ranked way higher then he should be. And that's not a knack against him as a fighter because he's definitely good and has fought some tough opponents recently... but a loss is a loss, and he's lost 4 out of his last 5... only beating Jimmie Rivera, all fights going to the Judges. I wanted to say Round 2 because Munhoz possibly catches O'Malley off guard and takes him down winning the first round (MAYBE) then Sean blasts him early 2

I can totally see Sean Strickland doing something controversial at this week's press conference.  I don't think he has ever taken part in those big press conferences where there is multiple people sitting on stage.  He will definately run his mouth at Izzy no doubt about it.  

Those press conferences is what made Conor a star, they need to bring those back as much as they can and bring all these personalities together at one time.

That could hit my friend. I could see a submission. Strickland  is at least a very good brown belt and is supposed to be very good with submissions

Adesanya vs Cannonier

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 365 Points   |   Tied for 3803rd

I have a theory. Adesanya should win this no question. My theory is about whether it's a finish or a decision. Listening to Adesanya talking recently he seems motivated to remind everyone why he is special. Also he hand picked Cannonier as an opponent long ago because he is the "dark horse" of the division. I don't believe that for one minute. Adesanya is smart and I think he picked Cannonier because he sees a way of winning. 

My theory is that recently Adesanya has become very cautious and has not gone for the finish, staying safe instead. My theory is that this is due to the wrestling threat of his recent opponents and him not wanting to over commit and get taken down.

There is much less takedown threat here and Adesanya has a significant reach advantage. I am expecting a finish here and a return to form.

What do you think my friends?

Thr funny thing about Jessica eye vs Maycee Barber is that Jessica might very well win this, terrible record on paper but eye has been competitive in almost all her fights, very durable normally and maycee is like only now starting to figure out how to fight and she’s still way inexperienced 

Not necessarily saying eye will win tho

Def feel this is a good matchup for Adesanya to get a finish, Cannonier has been caught by plenty of headkicks. Just has a phenomenal chin for middleweight.

How’s that a theory that’s just what it is Izzy knocks out the power punches who rush forward at some point he pokes at them with kicks and jabs until they make a mistake

I had this discussion with a friend of mine the last time Garry fought. So I wanted to know the opinion of you guys. Do you guys think Garry is being overhyped, or do you think he has the talent to be a contender at some point? I know it's hard to say at this point, since he's still young, but I just want to know what you guys think based on what he's shown so far in his carreer.

If everyone agrees Gary is over hyped then is he over hyped? He's a top european level prospect who is undefeated - realistically he warrants a bit more credit than the mma public are giving him.
At the eye test does he look like he could compete with current crop of welterweight terminators who have hit rankings recently? ****. No. But he's 24, who knows what he'll look like in 4 or so years. Is he good enough to beat Gabe right now? Absolutely.
