Yeah that’s why I’m on the fence with Ihor, idk how he’s going to look, I mean he looked good on DWCS but with the way most DWCS fighters have been looking lately who knows what he’ll look like, and the reason why I was asking about his wrestling game is due to the fact that if he doesn’t have a good base himself Nico will clinch him up and chain wrestle him for 15 mins and coast to a boring decision like he did to Aleksa Camur (Another fight that could’ve gone either way). But if Ihor does have good TDD himself I can see him just piecing up Nico the whole fight.

Cosce vs. Diamond
Orion Cosce, DEC
I dont know enough about Blood Diamond yet. I honestly kinda hope he pulls it off because a loss is gonna look more ****** on Diamond's record then it would Cosce even though he's coming off a loss as well. I do like both the Cosce brothers though.. I wish them the best. I think Blood Diamond has a way better showing this time though at minimum and I won't be mad at all if this prediction is wrong.

Pantoja is my most confident pick.  He is unbelievably good.

Pantoja is extremely good, but I think Perez is equally, if not more, underrated.

With that being said, I believe that Pantoja can be champ rn with the way the division is looking so he should beat Perez here. Should make for a great fight, possibly fotn.

Idk about that... I'm torn. If Negumereanu takes him down, then yes I agree. Ihor is super athletic and a much better athlete than Nic.

How did being the better athlete work out for Gore? Ihor is Ukrain Gore fighting a much more skillful fighter. He hits hard, big deal, 1000s of guys hit hard. That's enough for your bumkin regional show but Nick has been in there with guys who hit just as hard and had other skills to draw on and he grinds out his wins. Ihor loses to everyone Nick won against in UFC imo he's not that level and his record is sus. He's got a punchers chance and that's it.

Morales vs. Fugitt
Michael Morales, TKO, R1
Very excited to see Morales's career play out! Fugitt is mainly a grappler based on what I've seen; but he's slow in entering the pocket and very open to get his chin touched. Not a good thing against Morales.

Negumereanu vs. Potieria
Nick Negumereanu, DEC
Ihor isn't really very skilled - he's athletic, but lacking technically. I think Nick can take this one and make up for the way the last fight against Kennedy went.

Which dogs specifically? 
Pavlovich I will probably back, maybe Alves?
Keep flip flopping on KKF 
I will probably back Nunes, but would be very hesitant to back her by early stoppage....do not think she loads up this time, but hope she avoids grappling at all costs. 
I'll be honest, I don't have a good feel on almost anyone on this card. No early bets either. Maybe that's a good thing after having Rakic, Ortega, and Aspinall lol.

Kkf, alves, pavlovich, perez, nick, pena (not as crazy as it sounds, but she probably won’t win), and even though he’s likely outmatched, smith is going to fight for your money

Hamdy is also a good dog, don’t let the unassuming record fool you he placed 10th at the 2016 Olympics for wrestling. Moroni is good too even tho I said he would lose earlier he can definitely win

Orion Cosce vs Blood Diamond

Orion Cosce, TKO, R2
Could Definitely see another Crucifix position for Cosce here and smuthering blood Diamond with elbows, even with some improvements from Blood Diamond still think the grappling advantage will be night and day.

Edwards hopping around from bantam, to feather, and now flyweight.  Never a good sign imo

Ah yes forgot about Anthony Smith. Saw +375 and already put down 2u. He could get wrestledf***** for a majority, but he's super underappreciated by fans and bookies alike. Also much prefer him in 3 round vs. 5 round fights. Ankalaev lost some shine against Santos too.

@tosh that fight is 100% getting moved to bantam or catchweight; no way edwards can make 125, especially on short notice

Agree. I pointed it out because, if it truly remains at fly, Edwards on short notice will be drained.
