Predictions: 3 of 8 Winners, 2 Perfect, 200 Points   |   Tied for 721st

MacDonald vs. Umalatov
Rory MacDonald, DEC
Guys, stop hating on Rory MacDonald. Yea, I get, losing to Sadibou Sy probably cost you guys a lot of money. But he’s stil RORY GODDAMN MACDONALD. 7 years ago, you guys were likely praising him due to the incredible fight against Robbie Lawler and now you guys are just hating on him just because he lost to a decent talent in Sadibou Sy. Also he’s fighting Umalatov, who is yet to fight somebody at Rory’s level. Don’t be mad when Rory wins and once again robs you of money.

Moeil vs. Bajor
Szymon Bajor, TKO, R1
How is Moeil the favorite? Bajor should easily win what’s wrong with you guys?

Goltsov vs. Scheffel
Denis Goltsov, TKO, R1
I swear if goltsov somehow can’t chin this guy…

Fakhreddine vs. Wójcik
Mohammad Fakhreddine, TKO, R2
Fahkreddine is pretty bad but he could be a fun addition to pfl

Mixan vs. Stigenberg

Way easier fight for Mixan

Curious why a lot of people think Leal will be able to solve the complicated striking and length in Sy's kickboxing game. 

His takedown defense is also very strong, you have to be pretty relentless to keep Sy down.

I've even loved how Leal has looked but Sy is a monster on the feet.

Wouldn't if be funny if both MacDonald and Sy won and re-matched in the finals? I wouldn't even mind/care, the welterweight division is a mess right now with Cooper and Maga getting ****** over. We saw a seasoned veteran in Akmedov beat undefeated Silveira, any chance that happens with Umalatov? And like the guy above me said, Sy is deceptively good for his trash record and could really give Leal some problems

Leal vs Umalatov would probably be the most interesting matchup imo.

I'm thinking it'll be Sy vs Umalatov.

Dumbass. No one hating on Rory. Just no one confident in him. He ain't the same Rory after the Lawler fight and if your stupid ass don't get that then that's why you're poor.

IMO Umalatov is a lock. There's no way Rory is going to beat Umalatov when he just lost to ******* Sadibou Sy. Sadibou isn't a can but he isn't anything special. Umalatov would dominate Sadibou. I've been betting on Umalatov since last years playoffs and I really like him. Very well rounded, one thing tho was how he fought against the last minute replacement Brazilian guy. He won, but it was competitive. But still, Umalatov should dominate Rory, especially when he lost to a one dimensional striker.

I think Sy would actually give Umalatov a lot of problems, and if he beats Leal I definitely think he’d beat him too

Fun Fact: Delija was supposed to fight with Gane in corona time, so I think he will fight in UFC by end of 2023

For a promotion trying to build themselves up PFL sure does love sign regional guys with a lot of losses.
