Is anyone liking a Pantoja and Semelsberger parlay?  And doing another parlay that both guys finish their opponents inside the distance?  I don't think Morono can handle Semelsberger's hands and I can't trust Perez with that many finish losses in his career against an extremely dangerous opponent like Pantoja.

I also feel like there is going to be a lot of finishes on this card just because of how crappy the past 10 days have been in all of the MMA events from Jeremy Jackson's snoozefest in Bellator to UFC London to the Contender Series.  It usually works out that way that things get more exciting again, at least I hope so.

Don't get your hopes up for a lot of finishes, especially after the back to back cursed weeks.

@andres so let me get this straight, the reason you don’t like me is because you are so pathetic you have to tail others picks, and you tailed mine and did bad so you’re mad?🤣******* pathetic. Do your own research and make your own picks

Who has better wrestling, Askarov or Moreno? There's a case to be made that Moreno is going to have to fight the majority of the fight on the feet with KKF. KKF might have the most educated hands in the division.

No doubt Moreno can hang on the feet just fine if he is not able to assert grappling dominance but there could be a lot of close rounds. There could be a weird split incoming on this card. Moreno somewhat has home field but you never know, Texas judging is unique for some reason. Texas potentially won't be using the unified rule set so a lot of unknowns unless you're confident Moreno can finish KKF inside the distance.

I was thinking, everyone is talking about the value on Juliana Pena. I actually think the value is all on Nunez. We will likely never see those odds again

Moreno is better on the feet than KKF, especially when closing distance and moving forward. Also has better cardio and a better chin. Moreno all day, especially in a 5 rounder

I don’t think Moreno has better wrestling than Askar or better hands than KKF. But, unlike Askar he can threaten KKF with the hands. I think Moreno wins by being more well rounded, not by winning minutes on the feet in a kickboxing fight.

If Moreno wins. KKF is a very live dog.

Askar has no striking volume and does not pressure with striking. If he can't get the takedowns he is in trouble. I think Morenos hands are better than KKF who is good when you let him dictate and not as good when you don't. I disagree, I think Moreno will outstrike him and out volume him, especially in the last 2 rounds

Alexandre Pantoja vs Alex Perez 
Alexandre Pantoja, SUB, R2
Pantoja is incredibly underrated loved the part in the press conference where he said that Moreno and Kara-France were his sons. The difference in resume's is so easy to see in this fight, the cancellations of fights for Perez worry's me since he hasn't been in there for so long he could feel a bit of ring rust and could feel under more pressure because of the crowd too. If Pantoja is able to get this fight to the ground then it could be all over for Perez because the jiu jitsu level for Pantoja is on such a wider scale for him. Also seeing Perez getting submitted out of 4/6 losses is concerning so I can really see Pantoja going down that path.

Derrick Lewis vs Sergei Pavlovich 
Sergei Pavlovich, TKO, R1 
In this fight its basically whoever connects flush to either chin wins. Lewis really looked like he was behind a step his last fight when he was getting hit with big shots from Tuivasa looked like he was giving up and I believe he will do the same in this fight. Pavlovich having the longer reach will be a massive advantage for him 5 inches is no laughing matter plus every knockout he has ever had has came in the first round. Can really see Lewis pushing the action in this fight since he is fighting in his home state again then getting caught with a big bomb making it 3 losses in a row for him in Texas.
