Prediction Comments
Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 540 Points | Tied for 1030th
Charles Oliveira, SUB, R2
surprising myself here because i was gonna hedge and hope to be wrong, but the reality is that islam hasn't fought anyone (outside the gym) on charles' level and he might be in trouble if he gets stuck brawling or goaded into a bad scramble.
Sterling vs. Dillashaw
T.J. Dillashaw, DEC
hoping to be wrong, but i feel like tj is a bad matchup for sterling. he's the more potent striker, has comparable movement, and is a nuisance to take/hold down.
Yan vs. O'Malley
Petr Yan, DEC
there's a little bias here for sure, but i just feel like sean's accuracy isn't a big enough advantage to overcome this big step up.
Dariush vs. Gamrot
Beneil Dariush, DEC
this feels a lot like the brady/belal fight to me so i'm either double on or double off. i don't think beneil is gonna be bothered by gamrot's pace or desire to grapple and his underrated striking will show itself.
Chookagian vs. Fiorot
Manon Fiorot, DEC
should be interesting to see who has the dominant striking, but fiorot has taken all of her ufc opponents down so i think she can/will mix it up enough to keep chookagian off her rhythm. the weight miss doesn't look good either.
Muhammad vs. Brady
Belal Muhammad, DEC
brady is good for sure, probably eventually fights for the belt, but i don't think aggressive wrestling really bothers belal and he likely has a significant striking advantage.
Muradov vs. Borralho
Caio Borralho, DEC
i totally thought i was gonna choose muradov, but getting handled by gerald would not seem to bode well against someone that so aggressively pushes for the td.
Oezdemir vs. Krylov
Nikita Krylov, SUB, R2
feel like i never measure these guys right so i'll just go with my gut and say nikita can push a dogfight and eventually find his td.
Nurmagomedov vs. Omargadzhiev
Abubakar Nurmagomedov, DEC
i can't see a true edge here so i'm just gonna run with the idea that this particular event was set up to showcase islam and his team.
Petrosyan vs. Dobson
AJ Dobson, DEC
i'll take a chance here. dobson looked good early in his debut and armen has been taken down by all of his recent opponents.
Mokaev vs. Gordon
Muhammad Mokaev, SUB, R1
gordon clearly has some skills to show off, just not sure mokaev is gonna leave the openings.
Länsberg vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
the clinch will be the real battle here i think. rosa either finds a way to charge through and take her down or gets tied up and chopped at. inclined to side with youth and takedown ability, but i feel like i always underestimate lina so could be another early loss for me. definitely decision either way it goes though.

Freman, I hear you about moderation. "Free speech" is one thing, but if enough people throw buckets of verbal manure on a forum, it's gonna die before it grows flowers.
Just glad Oliveira made weight, especially after that questionable miss last time. Usman and Sonnen both had their doubts about the scale this go-round.

I was talking for all these things but nothing happened, they gave me so much hate and downvotes that my posting score is now somewhere down to 190, isn't about my posting score is about their behavior, they downvoting on anything i was posting, even some video clips in the song thread, in some other forums probably they will have ban all of them, but here it's all normal thing... ! Anyways... ... ... !

Btw I miss Wolfman, he was a great dude, but he apparently didn't always obey the rules of conduct and was targeted for a lifetime ban. How about these MODS do the same thing they did to Wolfman and ban this small group of rejects from participating here at the best fight prognostication website in the world.

****, no one wants to hear you whining on here. This is an mma forum. Not a school mum forum for Karen's who complain about everything. Grow a pair

In general i don't like the bans, also i don't like bad behaviors in the the threads... ! I got banned in one forum where i was very strong member, because i was starting to talk about some very bad behaviors in the threads... but it's easier to ban the "black sheep" other than to ban a whole group of **** members... so it is what it is... ! So now i prefer to post once in a while and don't care so much as before... !

1. Jailtime Almeida vs Shamil "Retire please" Abdulrakhimov
2. Zubaira "fat bastard" Tukhugov vs Over rated Almeida
3. Mustafaev vs Japanese contract guy
Think how good this card would be if those fights were still on
