They could spice up the music choice a bit and not run the same bland track every ceremonial weigh in.

Peña vs. Nunes II
Julianna Peña, DEC
She’ll be in her face the whole fight again. Nunes reign is over!

Moreno vs. Kara-France II
Brandon Moreno, DEC
2.0

Lewis vs. Pavlovich
Sergei Pavlovich, TKO, R1
They aint tryna build up lewis anymore. Gimme pavlovich with a brutal ko

Pantoja vs. Perez
Alexandre Pantoja, TKO, R2
Litteraly better everywhere. Where perez can do his best, pantoja will do better.

Morono vs. Semelsberger
Matt Semelsberger, TKO, R2
Wayyy to much pressure for morono, hes getting clip for sure very bad matchup

Dober vs. Alves
Rafael Alves, TKO, R3
For some reasons I like alves in this matchup. Alves is very powerfull and I can see him knocking out dober when dober start gassing out

Mayes vs. Abdelwahab
Hamdy Abdelwahab, TKO, R1
Violent ground & pound

Morales vs. Fugitt
Michael Morales, TKO, R2
Massacre

Kim vs. Edwards
Joselyne Edwards, TKO, R1
Somebody’s gotta win.. Women MMA stink so here is my pick…

Negumereanu vs. Potieria
Nick Negumereanu, TKO, R2
Negumereanu has an insanity of a chin. Hes is gonna walk Potieria down the whole fight

Cosce vs. Diamond
Blood Diamond, TKO, R1
Blood diamond with a highlight kickboxing combo ko. Remember this pick

Peña vs. Nunes II
Julianna Peña, DEC
Hard fought decision. Or Amanda taps in the 4th-5th. I think the cut is just too much for Amanda. If she can’t find the mark early, she’ll panick. Definitely going to be live in the first and second rounds. She’s the better athlete.

Moreno vs. Kara-France II
Kai Kara-France, DEC
Kai lands the bigger shots. Counters off the jab well and keeps his gas tank. 4th and 5th are gonna be wild if it gets there. Whoever wants it more will get it if the power advantage doesn’t play.

Lewis vs. Pavlovich
Derrick Lewis, TKO, R1
Either first round KO or Derrick quits. Think first round KO tho.

Pantoja vs. Perez
Alexandre Pantoja, SUB, R1
His sons....lmaoooo we’ll see if he can get it done. Easiest path to victory is the ground. Otherwise Alex is LIVE.

Ankalaev vs. Smith
Anthony Smith, DEC
How can you not pull for him. Big love to him and his mom.

Morono vs. Semelsberger
Matt Semelsberger, TKO, R1
Alex has the skills to get it done, but I don’t think he has the footwork and IQ to get out the way of the Semi Jedi.

Dober vs. Alves
Drew Dober, DEC
Dober will have some adversity again.. not confident.

Mayes vs. Abdelwahab
Hamdy Abdelwahab, TKO, R1
Gets inside and lands big.

Klose vs. García
Drakkar Klose, DEC
Grind out decision.

Morales vs. Fugitt
Michael Morales, TKO, R2
Speed advantage, but idk. Fugitt is Forsure live here.

Kim vs. Edwards
Ji Yeon Kim, DEC
Tough weight cut for Edwards. If she can’t get it done in the first Kim should be fine.

Negumereanu vs. Potieria
Ihor Potieria, TKO, R2
Experience and willingness to close the distance at range will get him the W. Could be a hugout on the cage.

Cosce vs. Diamond
Blood Diamond, TKO, R1
Orion doesn’t have the raw power like Jeremiah Wells does. Nor does he have the gas tank to chain wrestle enough. Think UFC helped out BD.

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 595 Points   |   Tied for 1273rd

Peña vs. Nunes II
Amanda Nunes, DEC
I'm exited for this one, The first one is a classic, Pena beating Nunes like that is funny. I'm picking Pena again because if she did it once, She can do it again, And when GOAT lose, They kept on losing

Moreno vs. Kara-France II
Brandon Moreno, DEC
Kara-France is pretty good, I just think Moreno is the best at 125 at the moment, And even though Kai is really good also, Moreno going to show why he the best

Lewis vs. Pavlovich
Sergei Pavlovich, TKO, R2
The Curse of him fighting in Texas is BS, He was undefeated in Texas until about a year ago, But I'm more worried about him being old,Lewis is the GMFOAT( Greatest Meme Fighter of all time), But he slowing down. while Pavolich is a young Lion who look great, And in nature, The young lion alway eat the old lion

Pantoja vs. Perez
Alexandre Pantoja, DEC
I'm taking the proven fighter, Perez only beaten cans and an 100 year old Formiga, I think Pantoja does him dirty like the other time Perez fight good fighter in Joey B and Figgy

Ankalaev vs. Smith
Magomed Ankalaev, DEC
I'm taking Ankalaev as I think he should just do what Glover, Jones, Rakic, and what Crute would of done if he didn't get kick in a nerve, Which Is Wresle, Smith can't stop takedown, And he's jiu-jitsu isn't super dangerous, So he end up being on the bottom, I think Magomed does it

Morono vs. Semelsberger
Alex Morono, DEC
I fell Like Moreno takes it, I'm not that high on Semleburger, So what he KO'd Witt and Sano, When it goes past a round, He look mid

Dober vs. Alves
Drew Dober, TKO, R2
I pick Dober here for the same reason why I pick Dober agaist Mckinney, How you going to knock him out, And both Alves are one round fighter, Maybe Alves can sub him round 1, But that low percantage, Dober should win

Mayes vs. Abdelwahab
Don'Tale Mayes, TKO, R1
Mayes Tapology Profile look like he nutted, But to get to the fight, I don't like pick Mayes, But I prefure that to picking a 3-0 guy to win in the UFC

Klose vs. García
Drakkar Klose, DEC
Garcia is mid while Klose is a solid fighter at 155

Morales vs. Fugitt
Michael Morales, TKO, R1
Micahel Morales is a solid prospect, He look like he has a promising future

Kim vs. Edwards
Ji Yeon Kim, DEC
Don't know, But expecting this to be fun. Picking Kim because she an underdog,

Negumereanu vs. Potieria
Nick Negumereanu, TKO, R2
Negumereaunu is going to merked this boy up

Cosce vs. Diamond
Blood Diamond, TKO, R2
Like Blood Diamond here, Expecting Cosce to win the first with his wresling, But Cosce has no cardio, And he's not a black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu like Well, In the 2nd round, Blood Diamond win by something meme

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 465 Points   |   Tied for 3239th

Noticeable weak auras at weigh ins:

Morono - I originally picked Morono but he looked weak and small at the face offs, swapped my pick to Semi.

Kim - looks very flabby and out of shape, normally a 125er, edwards is normally a 145er and she looked jacked even though she missed 135 by a couple of lb.

If Magomed wins here, you think they would schedule Magomed vs Jiri as co-main event in the stacked Abu Dhabi card?

If I were Ankalaev I would want more than three months to fight Jiri. He could do it, but why bother when you could delay it by a month or two and got some extra prep time? I like the matchup though.

Consider also that 280 is already extra thicc. Don't need any more mega draws on that card. Other PPVs will need exciting main events.
