Brundage vs. Gore
Tresean Gore, DEC
I think Gore learns from his last battle with Mr Bryan Battle and shows just how good he is. Brundage seems he can't decide which weight class he wants to be in and is just way too inconsistent. Yes Cody has some good Wrestling but Tresean just isn't too shabby himself on the ground.

Nina is out of the Cynthia fight. Bummer, that was one of the best fights of the night

According to Aaron Bronsteter, Nunes pulled out due to illness. This card is so great, that even a banger like that one being off, won't affect it that much https://twitter.com/aaronbronsteter/status/1545838591334649857

Because Andrade can beat any random regional prospect or mid-tier bantamweight, but struggles significantly against big competition. Sure, beating Marlon Vera has aged well, and Gibson is underrated, but that was before Marlon really found his love for striking. I too think Said is overrated af but he’s proven he’s a step above the average fighter

Can't believe people think Douglas Silva has a chance against the deadliest Dagestani (Said)

Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 340 Points   |   Tied for 2961st

Said is by far the most dangerous Dagestani fighter in the UFC right now, with all due respect to Magomed Ankalaev. That said, he's gonna dominate Douglas Silva de Andrade, but it will be a very fun and competitive scrap, may be fight of the night. I don't see Said finishing him, because de Andrade is very tough, tho, but I wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if he gets Douglas out of there

Fiziev is knocking Dos Anjos out, trust me

Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 340 Points   |   Tied for 2961st

It will be shocking for me if Dos Anjos survives 5 rounds. He's going against a different type of striker, a very bad matchup considering RDA style, with his unilateral movements and his predictable moves. Maybe the first round or 2 will be tough for Fiziev, then he will get RDA out of there as soon as he figures him out and he stops all of his takedowns, probably late second round or third round. It this goes passed to the championship round, i will be very worried for the damage that Dos Anjos will take in this fight, and maybe will be a calling for retirement, so i hope he gets stopped quicker rather than later

@Noxx Yes, cuz he can finish you with any limb, with wrestling from top, also dangerous front chokes

Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 340 Points   |   Tied for 2961st

Name a Dagestani that is scrambly off of his back. Even Khabib looked like a turtle against Trujillo, when he was on his back

Also, name a Dagestani fighter in the ufc that has dangerous front chokes to counter super high level wrestlers. Said has the typical Dagestani footwork and wrestling, but on the feet I don't see no one in the division messing with him any time soon, until he fights some high-fight-iq striker with elite kicks, elite movement/footwork, and defensive wrestling, who can read Said's movements and counter him coming in or spinning, like Petr Yan or Javid Basharat

Of course we have Usman Nurmagomedov in Bellator, and he's dangerous af everywhere. But as far as the ufc goes, Said Nurmagomedov is just a different type of freak, he's very different to other Dagestanis. With all respect to Ankalaev and Muslim Salikhov, Said is just too dynamic and deadly, and he's gonna be a great top contender in matter of 1 or 2 years

Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 555 Points   |   Tied for 149th

Nzechukwu by KO/TKO & Jared Vanderaa by sub on a double @ 25/1 ain't bad. Nzechukwu is a much bigger man and could blow through Roberson - or at least TKO him across 3 rounds. Vanderaa paints his nails black to remind us of his blackbelt in BJJ, and looked real keen to learn a thing or two from Oleinik. Sherman is ripe for the submission and Venderaa wants to prove he can sub a man in the octagon after being choked. And he's at least shown a greater will to win and a few more tools in the bag than Sherman, and is the bigger and stronger man to boot.

Tough betting tonight though. Some exciting and some unreliable names on the card.

Michael Johnson gets the win against Jamie Mullarkey, but how?

Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 340 Points   |   Tied for 2961st

I'm very curious to know 2 things about that fight. Why so many people think Jamie will win this fight? I mean, i could see him pressure MJ against the cage and maybe getting a takedown or 2, and getting a controversial decision, that's a 10% chance, because Johnson has very good takedown defense. But other than that, this is a bad matchup for him. I'm struggling to see how he survives this fight without getting dropped or knocked out, other than taking into account how tough he is. Michael Johnson beats him by decision, but i won't be shocked if he hurts Mullarkey in the late second round or third round, and finishes him there

I think Said is a good fighter and would likely beat Andrade, but you’re giving him way too much praise. He’s only had two solid wins, Cody Stamann (who likely had a really ****** weight cut) and Ricardo Ramos. Many would also argue he lost his debut against Justin Scoggins. Arman Tsarukyan is a far better Dagestani prospect than Said by a ******* mile and a half.

You know what they say, ''Jesus loves knockouts'', and Tresean Gore might give him what he wants

Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 340 Points   |   Tied for 2961st

Jokes aside, I'm very sure this fight won't go to decision, and Tresean is gonna get a knockout. I know Cody Brundage is training on a daily basis with one of the best strikers in the ufc, if not the best striker at 205 in the ufc, in Dustin Jacoby, and his striking is improving day by day. But when Tresean defends a couple takedowns or gets up from the ground, i don't see what Cody can do on the feet for 15 minutes, or idek if he can survive for more than 10 minutes standing up against a dangerous striker like Tresean, who has very precise striking and lowkey technical moves overall

Tresean reminds me a lot to Jared Cannonier, a solid fighter with powerful and technical hooks, also just as tough and almost as wellrounded as Jared (who by the way is currently his training partner). Definitely his takedown defense will be tested in this fight against a very good wrestler like Brundage, who btw has good jiu jitsu too, improving striking, and a guy training in one of the best gyms in the world (Factory x) with very high-level training partners (Anthony Smith, Josh Fremdt, among many others)

Arman Tsarukyan is not Dagestani, he doesn't even fight or look like one @TheDeanofMean

Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 340 Points   |   Tied for 2961st

Also, Stamann to this day still says it's the best version of himself ever, the best shape he's been in, and the most prepared he's been for any fight, when he fought Said. Stamann is in his prime right now: You saw him giving Merab one of his toughest fights months prior to fighting Nurmagomedov, then you see him later finishing Eddie Wineland easily, and you will see him dominating a lot of dudes in his next couple fights, he's a very tough fight for anyone considering how solid he is (tough, durable, wellrounded, and hard to finish)
