Islam Makhachev, TKO, R3
I am going to give an honest breakdown of the fight without bias even though I am a big fan of Charles and what he has done. Charles fights best when he can pressure his opponents and not have to worry about getting taken down and beaten up there. We've seen Charles walk through huge shots time and time again. Chandler is a tough opponent for Charles and he did beat Chandler by KO after nearly getting finished in the 1st round. His power is undeniable as we know. He also dropped Gaethje who is known to have a good chin. I know the argument a lot of people have is that Chandler is a good wrestler and he couldn't get the job done, but Islam is a way different fighter than Chandler. Islam is a very smart fighter and does not get into firefights. He won't be willing to trade with Islam on the feet. I don't think it's a question of if I think it is a matter of when Islam takes Charles down, will Charles be able to throw up a sub off his back. I think he will certainly try, but Islam will be ready and willing to just maintain top control while landing some gnp. I think a lot of peoples love of Oliveira is clouding their honest judgement of this fight. He has lethal knees and standup now no doubt. Islam is not a guy that gets hit a lot though and like I mentioned won't do what Gaethje or Chandler did and leave himself open to get hurt. Charles also cannot be too reckless on the feet because Islam albeit not a power puncher can land a heavy shot and if Oliveira drops, he will not be afraid to pounce on him like Poirier or Gaethje and look for the finish. All in all, I think Charles gets taken down and controlled and then in round 3 he eventually gets either gnp finished or even possibly gives his back to Islam and Islam submits him. It sounds crazy, but without the bias I think a lot of people can see Charles has only one way to win and that's catching Islam before he gets taken down. I'm interested to hear everyone elses perspective on the fight.

Aljamain Sterling, SUB, R1
This prediction can backfire pretty badly. I think a sub is definitely a possible option though and it can happen here. Sterling is incredibly quick with his back takes and if he takes TJ down, TJ will likely try to stand right back up and by doing that give his back which plays right into what Aljo wants. Also, similar to Merab Aljo will shoot over and over if that's what it takes.

Magomed Mustafaev, TKO, R2
16 fight is nuts. Magomed is the better man everywhere the fight goes, Mullarkey will have a height and reach edge but other than that Mustafaev is a ******* animal anywhere this fight goes. I’m going head kick KO

Lucas Almeida, TKO, R2
This is a close fight, Zubaira is a good fighter but he plays it a bit too safe sometimes. Almeida is not the man you want to play it safe with, he’s got some crazy power for a featherweight as well. Wouldn’t be surprised with Zubaira by decision though
Rodriguez vs. Lemos
Marina Rodriguez, DEC
Love this fight. Marina is more technical, has better cardio and has more heart. Lemos has the power advantage and a slight speed advantage, I still see Marina putting on a pace that Lemos can’t handle. Round 1 for Lemos and rounds 2&3 for Marina
Oezdemir vs. Krylov
Nikita Krylov, TKO, R1
Volkan is the faster fighter and that could cause some problems for Nikita if he can’t land the big shot. But I’m betting that he can, when Krylov lands on people especially people like Volkan it has this effect that makes them freeze and even go to sleep. We’ll see how it goes but either way this is a banger
Länsberg vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
Karol had a set back in her last fight against the best wrestler in the division, Lansberg is no Olympian so I think Rosa is gonna put on a striking clinic for 15 minutes while mixing in some clinch work

I mean if it goes to a decision which it probably will Belz wins for a lot of reasons most of which he earns.
He is consistent and that alone puts him in the win column over people who probably have more skills.
This is also what some call boring I don't, same with Leon he wins by point fighting.
I find that more interesting than lame ass fairies tickling and groping but I guess I am in the minority on that.
I've made notes of this for myself always misspelled consistent with an a, and expect minorities to be in the minority not whiteees.
