If the UFC doesn't sign the winner of this, I don't see why even keep a HW division. I think they've maybe signed 3 HWs since 2020 and 2 are from the Contender Series and haven't debuted yet and the other is Harry Hunsucker.

O'Gorman vs. Robinson

Lol look at the record before picking, last fight was 5 years back for O'Gorman. His combined wins are 0-17

I'm interested in the Acosta fight, he made a choice to go away from RUF (and give up on the chance of a ONE championship contract) and take LFA.
If he wins this would mean UFC and he betted on the right hore, if he loses he made the wrong choice given that the ONE spot was probably easier (weaker opponets in RUF than in LFA).

Anyway I don't think he is top 10 in neither ONE nor UFC. He seemed still sloppy in his last fights and even people like Kang or Grishenko (that we could call second tier ONE fgihters) look better

Haven't really watched Acosta but he is being courted by ONE, Bellator and UFC is he actually good or just happens to be undefeated.

He isn't really courted.

Simply he was winning (reacehed the semifinals and withdrew) from a tournament that gave a ONE contract.
And the UFC needs Heavyweights and usually being LFA champion means getting a UFC contract.

I was not impressed by him in the fights I saw

Yeah, I don't know who to pick in this one because before I worry about O'Gorman's wins over 0-17 competition, I have to look at what Robinson has done, which is a whole lot of nothing.  I can see this being a closer fight than some might think.  I tend to agree with the oddsmakers having Robinson at -135.  I think that is fair.  But, if you think Robinson is going to smash O'Gorman, I would go run to the window now.  If you think O'Gorman is going to get a dub, then I would see if the line moves even wider and try to snag a nice +money ticket.  For me, I'm going to watch with the popcorn and ice tea.

In his last fight, I was impressed Weaver was able to survive a round.  Acosta was a country mile better and I think this fight is going to be a lot different.

Quang Le

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 415 Points   |   Tied for 251st

By the by, I like Quang Le.  I think he is a fun fighter but my God.  The ************ just missed weight less than two weeks ago, fought, secured a decision, and now is turning around and cutting weight again to try to get to 135... Ha!  So, I see this guy either missing weight so bad they cancel the fight or he kills his body doing this again and he empties the tank before the fight.  I don't like this spot for him at all.

I was actually planning to put money on Quang since he was a dog last I checked, but got talked out of it after giving Paneitz a closer look.

Long-time wrestler, started boxing at 12, 12-1 in the amateur circuit and his lone pro loss was via early guillotine to a Gracie Barra guy at flyweight. Might switch my pick in all honesty.

Never mind.  When you scroll over the wins/losses on the bout page, the date on the Quang Le is stuck on 1 week and 2 days for some reason. It was actually a month ago.  Still, I don't like the short turn around missing weight.

Woebegone New Predictions

Predictions: 5 of 8 Winners, 2 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 318th

Malik vs. Vang
I believe in Reshal Malik at -140. He has a ultrasonic dragon sleeper. Malik should nationalize the dark horse.

Le vs. Paneitz
I am all about Sam Paneitz at -170. He has a xenotropic reverse frankensteiner. Paneitz is gonna destroy the TV audience.

Sanson vs. Ponce
I am going with Miguel Sanson at -1175. He has a jinxed axe kick. Sanson must reject the senses.

Smith vs. Writz
I am all over Scott Writz at -275. He has a kooky bear hug and a venomous overhand. Writz should incorporate the canvas.

Cummins vs. Budka
I take Tee Cummins at -130. He has an amoral attitude. Cummins will immobilize the production.

White vs. Jepsen
I am taking Tyus White at -650. He has a cryptic leaping clothesline and a ultrasonic bear hug. White should flaunt the underdog.

Amil vs. Sewell
I am going with Hyder Amil at -525. He has a bonkers clinch and a fabulous overhead chop. Amil could grind the bandit.

Petersen vs. Cortes-Acosta
I feel disposed to Thomas Petersen at -225. He has a kinky kouchi gari. Petersen can block the enemy.
