It’s so frustrating bro. He’d be ranked by now if he didn’t fight once every decade

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 415 Points   |   Tied for 3130th

Sterling vs. Dillashaw
T.J. Dillashaw, DEC
aljo shouldnt be able to just ground tj,tj actually has great tdd and on the feet their levels apart tj could find the finish but because of age and no roids ill say he wins maybe dropping one round to aljo

Yan vs. O'Malley
Petr Yan, DEC
one of the biggest suga fans but i believe this will be similar to petr vs sandhagen

Dariush vs. Gamrot
Mateusz Gamrot, TKO, R2
gamrot finishes benny i think gamrot will neglect all of beneils high points and break him down pound him out in the first and by the second land a bomb that sends beneil back to the shadow realm

Chookagian vs. Fiorot
Manon Fiorot, DEC
also close i think manon will win because of the striking advantage that i believe she has

Muradov vs. Borralho
Caio Borralho, DEC
i feel like this one will be a lot closer then people have it but im still taking caio on simple fact i dont see him losing until he fights a top 7 opponent at least could be very wrong on that one im well aware

Oezdemir vs. Krylov
Nikita Krylov, SUB, R2
krylov should win this i think he will crack volkans chin and submit him

Tukhugov vs. Almeida
Zubaira Tukhugov, DEC
zubaira has this style that kind of avoids him eating shots

Nurmagomedov vs. Omargadzhiev
Abubakar Nurmagomedov, DEC
id say almost 100% going the distance id prefer to go with abubakar because of his team

Petrosyan vs. Dobson
Armen Petrosyan, TKO, R2
so petrosyan was able to hang with robocop i wont say he won but he fought back and was landing good shots that could put guys out i dont see dobsons striking holding up with armens and i think armen will break him by the 2nd

Mokaev vs. Gordon
Muhammad Mokaev, DEC
easy, mokaev does whatever he wants to gordon this is actually an easier fight then the charles johnson fight imo

Länsberg vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
probably closer then odds have it but rosa should win lina is tough so i dont expect a finish

I'm not exactly sure what there is to like about O'Malley. Ever the since the classic "mentally undefeated" line i've been off the O'Malley train, and he's only gotten worse from there in terms of likability

I'm glad Mustafaev vs Nishi is off. I lose a parlay piece but that was going to be a tough watch. I've got no interest in seeing a kid get wrecked, horrendous matchmaking on that one.

I think we won't be seeing Nishi in the UFC. Contract dispute before you're debut on the biggest card of the year? Not a good sign

He said himself it’s not a contract issue. Nishikawa said the fight is off because of mustafaev

Honestly the closer we draw to 280 less confident I am in Gamrot's win Technically Gamrot is a favourite, But I honestly believe that Dariush will just lose 2 rounds and then in 3rd just when it all seemed lost he will somehow knockdown Gamrot and its all over and then we see Gamrot lose more fights in a row and get cut eventually. I hope I am not predicting the unfortunate and Gamrot will secure the W

@jodra not sure, but nishikawa said he’s signed with the ufc and it’s not his fault the fights off
