People forget how good Muradov is. He was winning easily vs Meerschaert before the sub. Super tough fight to call imo.

He is mate just watch and see he’ll be able to compete with him in stand up and then when the time is right will take his back and do whatever he wants with him there. He will send muradov straight back to doing gay **** ahahaha

Oliveira vs. Makhachev
Islam Makhachev, SUB, R4
I really hope Charles wins, but Makhachev wrestling and strength is unreal and the fact that, there in Abu Dhabi is gonna give Makhachev an advantage. Anyway let's go Charles

Sterling vs. Dillashaw
T.J. Dillashaw, DEC
Dillashaw didn't look amazing in his last fight, but we have to remember that he was injured and still won, I think he's gonna look amazing this time tho

Yan vs. O'Malley
Sean O'Malley, DEC
Weird pick, but I think O'Malley is gonna stay on the outside and and front kick and jab himself to a boring decision Adesanya style

Dariush vs. Gamrot
Mateusz Gamrot, TKO, R2
Beneil is too slow for Gamrot, he will be put out badly

Chookagian vs. Fiorot
Manon Fiorot, DEC
I actually think Fiorot is gonna completely outstrike her over 3 rounds

Muhammad vs. Brady
Sean Brady, DEC
Will be a competitive grappling match, just think Sean is a little better

Muradov vs. Borralho
Caio Borralho, TKO, R3
Muradov can't handle the grappling and pressure, he will be gassed in the 3rd and put out

Oezdemir vs. Krylov
Nikita Krylov, TKO, R1
Volkan striking didn't look good in his last fight, he's slower than ever, plus Krylov is a way better grappler. Volkan is gonna get chined

Tukhugov vs. Almeida
Lucas Almeida, DEC
Hard pick but Almeida's pressure might overwhelm him, we've seen Tukhugov being overwhelmed before against Dawodu, who doesn't put nowhere near as much pressure on as Almeida

Nishikawa vs. Mustafaev
Magomed Mustafaev, TKO, R1
Yamato isn't really good at anything, his striking is nowhere near top level and his takedown defense is nonexistent. Mustafaev is gonna do whatever he wants to him

Nurmagomedov vs. Omargadzhiev
Abubakar Nurmagomedov, DEC
Gadzhi striking looked absolutely terrible in his last fight, he actually looked drunk, I know Abubakar is not one of those scary dagestani fighters but neither is Gadzhi

Petrosyan vs. Dobson
Armen Petrosyan, DEC
AJ breaks easily we saw that in his last fight, Petrosyan is gonna outstrike him

Mokaev vs. Gordon
Muhammad Mokaev, DEC
Don't think Mokaev is gonna finish him but definitely dominate him

Länsberg vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
I just think Lina is to slow but she's a badass tho

Muhammad vs. Brady
Sean Brady, DEC
I think Brady neutralises belal's grappling and ends up winning through edging the striking and getting a couple takedowns himself

Belal is gonna **** Brady up in the striking, no chance Brady wins through that. I'm picking Belal but I could see Brady winning through his grappling, there is a real chance of him just being too strong and eventually taking Belal down.

Yan vs. O'Malley
Petr Yan, DEC
If O'Malley wins, I'm not sure what I'll do but I will do something. I have spent like 2 years just talking trash about him. Yan Please win, please don't tell me I was wrong for 2 years.

If there is a chance for Sean to win against Yan, its right now.  

The Yan that showed up in the last Aljo fight will lose 29-28 to O'malley.  Let's hope he has his head straight this time.

I think this card is and specifically the main event, has many of people hyped the most since like Conor fights. Apart from that, watching UFC 280 countdown, seeing the stories these guys have, they fight for and represent their communities, values. They are much more than just guys who fight, they are heroes of many people. The Background of this fight definitely deserves like a high budget movie for real

Sterling vs. Dillashaw
T.J. Dillashaw, DEC
I hope some dumb dirty **** happens. 7+ cagegrabs, one groin shot, 2 eye pokes, glove fingering, oil change. 2 legendary champions w 5 round cardio. No technical decions please.

Yan vs. O'Malley
Petr Yan, DEC
O'Malley one off Home Runs or gets his legs chopped off. Sugar is big enough to get up after takedowns. Haven't seen much ground work. Yan will entertain the striking for 2 rounds and mix in some trips. Unanimous decion.

Dariush vs. Gamrot
Beneil Dariush, DEC
Polak vs Dinosaur. How is Tapology getting nationality data from 9000 years ago?

At least we may get a proper short notice replacement for Jailtime Almeida. Not just another murder.

Plenty of good UAE Warriors guys out there. It will still be free money though.

Also now that Mike Jackson is in the shadow realm when is John Morgan vs Brendan Shaub happening

Not really lol. This card is pretty easy to pick for the most part. A couple difficult ones here and there, but for the most part I'm decently confident in my picks
