Does anybody have a vision that Waterson gets hurt almost immediately and either submitted or KO'd?
I really think she stands 0 chance, I hate the 'lock' term. But I mean I really don't see Waterson getting it done at all unless Lemos just stands in shadow boxing range 🤣
Am I crazy?

I think she gets koed in the first round. I do not like that she had a near career ending injury before the grasso fight; not sure how she's gonna perform or if she's even 100% given that it happened back in march

Jourdain vs Burgos
Predictions: 5 of 10 Winners, 1 Perfect, 305 Points | Tied for 2675th
This bout is a mind vs heart matchup IMO
I love Charles, awesome fighter, should be more of a fan favorite than he is, but while he’s a strong offensive kickboxer, his defense leaves a lot to be desired. At the same time, so is Burgos (even though his poor defense is deliberate so he can tear your body apart) but Charles tends to rely on shelling up and backing away at way too often of a rate. Burgos’s big gameplan is to pressure you non-stop with attrition boxing, slip counter strikes, and tear you to pieces against the wall. His hands are constantly at his waist to more easily tear at your body, a problem Charles will certainly run into because his most common defensive option is to cover up, step backwards and leave his body exposed.
I don’t find it improbable Charles can knock him out, but the odds are not looking great just from the tape I’ve watched

Bold prediction, this time next year Brian is the champ. Great insights from his interview, he's honest about his errors and understanding where he needs to be improve. I think he can do it, he's demonstrated before he can make big leaps in his full mma skill set when he applies himself and puts the right people in his camp.
Maybe I'm reading too much into Yair's statements but when the reporter asks him how he prepared for Brian's BJJ he says "stay off the floor". Ok, great plan Yair - but what happens when you do end up on the floor, there's 5 rounds. At some point he's probably going to have to defend from the ground in those 25 minutes. His weak TDD lost him the Max fight so great that he worked on TDD but I don't like the answer, I don't like his energy and I don't like his discipline. I think he's going to fight scared and I think Brian will ultimately shut him down and will take Yair's tools away from him as the fight progresses.

I think Karate Hottie loses a lopsided decision then retires. Idk why but it would seem like the right time considering this is a big show and she’s got very little incentive to fight considering her injuries and the fact that she can probably do whatever she wants after fighting

Hopefully they get rid of the adesanya vs cannonier advert this week. Don’t have a clue why they kept playing it at the last fight night. People doing the promoting are not following their own events lol

Picking Lemos cause the Karate Hottie can't inflict any damage these days but Lemos's run is so overrated. Beats 4 terrible girls, definitely loses to Angela Hill and then gets subbed by Andrade in a round. The fact that Andrade was only -160 against her mid week before that card was unbelieve.

Penne vs. Ducote
Emily Ducote, TKO, R2
Penne hasn't really won against any big names recently. The Godinez SD result two fights back was a questionable decision at best. She's more of a distance fighter. The tape on Emily shows some solid hands and she's pretty quick, Jessica doesn't have the best of chins... I think Emily is gonna be too much for her to handle and she calls it a career after this one.. she ain't no female

Why didn't they book this for UFC London? It's a perfect fit.

Great matchup! I'm 0-2 picking against Jung so I think I'll take the risk this time.

Waterson vs. Lemos
Amanda Lemos, TKO, R1
Waterson has suffered many injuries in a short period of time and this has led her to consider retirement. Waterson is mainly a striker and I think this can allow Amanda Lemos to land good combinations hurt her with some good hand and get the TKO or Submission. In recent weeks many fighters like Wineland, Jessica Eye and Cowboy Cerrone have left the gloves in the center of the octagon, the general change in the top 15 has been very remarkable in the last 2 years. I consider that this will be Waterson's last fight and she will most likely end up being finished
Li vs. Salikhov
Muslim Salikhov, DEC
Jingliang Li vs. Muslim Salikhov is a really interesting duel, since Li's fighting base is Sanda and this Saturday he will face the King of Kung Fu, who was named for being a multiple champion in Sanda and for being the most decorated foreigner in Chinese Sanda. Tough comeback fight for Jingliang: he faces a fighter with a style very similar to his, but with much more experience in striking. Salikhov is 38 years old, but I consider that this fight will be the beginning of his last chance to climb the rankings, the category is dominated by wrestlers but his KO power can help him get into the Top 10.
Soriano vs. Lungiambula
Punahele Soriano, TKO, R1
The most curious thing about this confrontation is that despite being strikers, both fighters have a great background in Judo. Soriano looked bad in his last fight, but I doubt Dalcha will be as aggressive looking for takedowns as Maximov. Dalcha changed weight class looking for more success, but finds himself 1-2 on a 2-fight losing streak where none of his performance has been good, showing less cardio than at light heavyweight. Soriano is also on a 2 fight losing streak, but I don't think his TDD is as bad as it looked against a grappler like Maximov, both fighters don't have great cardio either, but this matchup was made mainly so that Soriano has a chance to recover and come back with fresh air to the category, managing to connect a great bomb to get a victory by KO in the first round
Simón vs. Shore
Jack Shore, DEC
Both are very good wrestlers and usually the clash of 2 wrestlers or grapplers ends up being decided in striking. Simon is one of the best wrestlers in the division and has hovered around the bottom of the top 15 for several years, but hasn't managed to establish himself as a top 10 yet. Jack Shore is an interesting prospect who has already proven himself in grappling and in his last fight he managed to impose his striking. Of the 2, Shore seems to me the best striker: the one with the most solid KO power and combinations. I think Shore can take the fight by decision or even a 2nd or 3rd round stoppage, the Welsh fighter has a great team and has been a Cage Warriors prospect who has earned his spot without overhype or high spots on the cards without demonstrating something quite concrete, everything has been step by step and the next step to go is called Ricky Simon
Jacoby vs. Jung
Da Un Jung, SUB, R2
Jacoby has great kickboxing experience, high volume of combinations, variety of strikes and excellent cardio. Jung, leaving aside his draw against Alvey, has always shown a high level and of the fighters he seems to me the most complete: Jung has KO power, good cardio, various tools in striking, finishing ability and against Knight he showed a good ground game managing to take down and control on the ground multiple times a Kinght whose physical power allowed him to reverse and take down Aleksa Camur (Stipe Miocic's teammate) several times, even Knight's strength made it difficult for a solid wrestler like Devin Clark to take him to the ground during the start of the fight. Despite being an even duel in striking, Jacoby has the advantage in the volume of strikes, however Jung has proven to be an intelligent fighter and have a team that knows how to vary strategies, taking Jacoby to the ground from the start as he did Cutelaba removes all the dangerousness of Jacoby's striking, even the control time can lead him to submit Jacoby who has been finished 3 times when he has been taken to the ground.
Penne vs. Ducote
Emily Ducote, TKO, R2
A good fight for the debut in the UFC for the Invicta FC champion. Emily Ducote is 5-1 since her return to strawweight, in her time with Invicta FC she demonstrated solid striking and considerable KO power, Ducote has a background in high school and collegiate wrestling as well as being a Black Belt in BJJ . Jessica Penne is dangerous on the ground, but throughout her career she has shown poor striking defense. In my opinion if Ducote manages to defend the takedowns and doesn't get into Penne's guard, she will get a Standing TKO in the second round. In my opinion Ducote has Top 15 potential in the UFC strawweights, 1.57 m may not be an impressive height for the category but Ducote already has experience fighting bigger fighters in Bellator's women's flyweight division. Ducote has a great technical level in striking (for example, his KOs against Morandin and Taylor) and fighters like Jessica Andrade (who became champion) and Tecia Torres with a height of 1.55 m managed to establish themselves at the top of the category, so only time and his upcoming fights will determine if Ducote has the caliber to break into the ranking.

Did not think I would have much time to make picks this card, but I actually do. Also my picks were better last card so going to give it a go this time too and see how I go.
I did not think I would have many strong opinions or takes on this card but it turns out that I actually do. There are some spots I really, really like.
Just going to watch some fights of Burns/Algeo, Shore/Simon, Penne/Ducote and Grant/Stoltzfus and will make my picks tomorrow. I think many are worried about this card but it may turn out to be a lot simpler in actual fact.
One important thing to remember, its on ABC. Going to a wide audience and gives the UFC a chance to showcase fighters to a large audience. They are not going to waste that chance. So think a bit about each match up and who the UFC want to showcase and win. And also remember it's in Long Island. The NYSAC is one of the worst of all time so expect lots and lots of decisions that make no sense, and again, remember who the UFC wants to win.

Also one more thing that struck me as being really strange. We have a UFC London card coming up very soon. Why is Jack Shore, one of the most promising UK prospects on this card in the US and not on the UK card?
Interesting to think about. I think I know why but will put it in my picks tomorrow.
