Klose vs. García
Drakkar Klose, DEC
Klose getting a step down in competition here in Garcia, Rafa isn’t bad but Klose is much more high level and has fought much more high level guys I think klose dominates but doesn’t find the finish

Morales vs. Fugitt
Michael Morales, TKO, R2
Nice for Adam to step up here but morales is going to sleep him this kid is really good and I don’t think Adam is going to be ready for this stepping in on short notice

Don’t know Hamdy at all but Mayes is trash and as long as this guy can stuff a takedown he’s getting a finish sloppy heavyweight style

Fun fact in regards to Rafael Alves, every winner from the “Holloway vs. Rodriguez” card has went on to lose their next fight with the exceptions of Song Yadong and Felicia Spencer (due to her retiring) and every person that lost that wasn’t cut by that point went on to win their next fight. Hoping Alves wins this upcoming week but both the odds and trends indicate that he’s most likely losing next Saturday.

Since when did Adam Fugitt get signed by the UFC? I though he deserves it, but picking the fights is the first time I saw that he got signed

O ok Morales should win that easily tho. I think Fugitt will gain respect in that fight from Dana and probably get a way easier opponent than Morales

Also +350 for Anthony Smith is ridiculous. I'm picking Ankalaev b/c I don't see Smith winning but hoping that he does b/c Ankalaev is way too hesitant against higher level opponents, and it is fun to be a fan of Smith

HOW IS RAFAEL THAT BIG OF A UNDERDOG!?

Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 0 Perfect, 445 Points   |   Tied for 3429th

Bro Rafael can literally finish Drew on the feet or sub him when it hits the ground. He's two years younger as well believe it or not. Alves should not be a +190. Amazing underdog pick.

What’s y’all’s thoughts on the Nico vs Ihor fight? I had Nico in his last fight but man he did not look good whatsoever, he was getting pieced up by Kennedy bad and the only reason he even got the nod was because of a point deduction and even then you could make the case that the fight should’ve been a draw. I got Ihor winning but I don’t know if he finishes him but I definitely can see him piecing up Nico for 15 mins non stop due to being the quicker fighter. I don’t know how good Ihor’s wrestling is though so if someone can refresh me on that’d be cool because this fight is going to come down if he can keep it on the feet. As of right now though I still got Ihor winning.

I honestly thought Kennedy won that fight, so I'm picking Ihor, but you never know with DWCS especially ones that have absolutely no good competition until they get on DWCS

Ihor looks like he could be a can. If he decides to wrestle at all, he will win; nick has no tdd only reason he’s gone on a winstreak is opponents haven’t wrestled him. Nick wins by having an insane chin and walking you down so it all depends if ihor can capitalize on that.

Peña vs. Nunes II
Julianna Peña, DEC
I feel as though that win Pena had got to Nunes. Maybe I'm reading into it too much but Amanda still seems agitated by it, and given how the last fight went (and even her confidence before it), there's no way Peña isn't riding a high. This will be a back and forth but I think Nunes will falter and not perform as well as Pena. Very close fight though.

Moreno vs. Kara-France II
Brandon Moreno, SUB, R2
Though I'm a Figueiredo fanboy, I'll admit that I don't think Moreno performed as well as he could've the last time they fought, yet it was still highly competitive with many people even scoring it for him (but he didn't win). If he brings his A game then he should finish off Kai this time.

Pretty sure Semelsberger was born in the same hospital as me, so I literally can't pick against him even in competitive fights, but I truly think he wins this without any bias b/c Morono can be chinny at times
