Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 540 Points   |   Tied for 1624th

Whittaker vs. Vettori
Robert Whittaker, DEC
I'm so confident in Whittaker that he'll probably lose

Di Chirico vs. Kopylov
Alessio Di Chirico, DEC
Kopylov is a good kick boxer but that's about it. He got subbed by Karl Roberson. Don't get subbed by ****** Karl roberson

Haqparast vs. Makdessi
John Makdessi, DEC
Haqparast hasn't looked the same after his ko loss to Drew Dober

Jourdain vs. Wood
Nathaniel Wood, DEC
I think wood will have the better technique coming since he use to fight at bantamweight. Jourdains wins over vannata and Ewell aren't that impressive since those guys are trash

Stoltzfus vs. Magomedov
Abusupiyan Magomedov, SUB, R3
Rooting for Dustin since I went to high-school with him (I'll say it every time) but I think magamedov will be able to out grapple him

Ziam vs. Figlak
Michal Figlak, DEC
Ziam could win if he can keep his distance and pick shots from the outside like the soy Frenchie he is but I think figlak is aggressive enough to get the win

Imavov vs. Buckley
Nassourdine Imavov, TKO, R3
Buckley does seem to be getting better each fight but his chin worries me against imavov who's a sniper

Saint-Denis vs. Miranda
Benoit Saint-Denis, DEC
Miranda is a one trick pony & won't be able to sub BSD who is the stone cold toughest dude in the ufc

Taha vs. Quiñonez
Cristian Quiñonez, DEC
Hopefully quinonez isn't another DWCS bust.

Perez vs. Egger
Stephanie Egger, DEC
Perez is a can crusher. Can't pick her until she's beaten someone decent

Gomis vs. Errens
William Gomis, DEC
Errens is an aggressive fighter which plays right into Gomis game who is a counter striker with a long reach for the division

Coco main

Predictions: 10 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 615 Points   |   Tied for 584th

It seems they put a snooze fest in Di Chirico vs Kopylov as a beer break before the co main event. Middleweight  men's r1 head kick is the new women's arm bar.
Kopylov showed some improvement in speed and reads. Lacks lateral movement. Faints a wait and bait for counters. Either a rd one ko or lackluster Dec. Good time to stock up the shoeys.

Whittaker vs. Vettori
Robert Whittaker, DEC
I think Rob is better in most aspects, the advantage I’d give to Marvin is his chin and and he’s a little bigger than Whittaker. But for the most part I think Rob will win a 29-28 or 30-27 decision in a competitive fight

Di Chirico vs. Kopylov
Roman Kopylov, TKO, R1
Maybe it’s wishful thinking but I hope Kopylov saves his job with a 1st round KO

Stoltzfus vs. Magomedov
Abusupiyan Magomedov, DEC
I wouldn’t pick Magomedov by decision if Stoltzfus wasn’t so tough. For as slow and predictable as he is he makes it work. But I still believe Abus will be too much for him

Gane is the lock of the year. He will force entry and exit, he will attack the body to tire him as much as possible. He will angle his shots so that he would be difficult to counter and I expect Tuivasa to clumsily rush towards Gane, where he will be countered and finished with a midkick.In awkward situations, he could pinch him a little, to break his gas tank as quickly as possible.

+ Gomis cardio and overall ability is sus to say the least.

UFC should have had this card as a ppv instead of next week's card because at least this card has the middleweight and heavyweight champ on it

Gane by TKO....nuff said...

Whittaker vs. Vettori
Robert Whittaker, DEC
I like Whittaker...took bad its only 3rds...should be 5.....whittaker is a good striker but....he'll stop vettori takedowns

Di Chirico vs. Kopylov
Alessio Di Chirico, DEC
both are low volume strikers......going with Di Chirico

Haqparast vs. Makdessi
Nasrat Haqparast, DEC
both are strikers....picking nasrat.....

Jourdain vs. Wood
Nathaniel Wood, DEC
Torn on this fight....like both of these guys.... expecting lot of action....picking wood for now...

Stoltzfus vs. Magomedov
Abusupiyan Magomedov, DEC
look for magomedov for the win...possible sub

Ziam vs. Figlak
Michal Figlak, DEC
Figlak to win....ziam has no ground game....

Imavov vs. Buckley
Nassourdine Imavov, TKO, R2
imavov well rounded in mma....buckley isnt really technically sound as striker....I like imavov to win

Saint-Denis vs. Miranda
Benoit Saint-Denis, SUB, R1
looking for another sub by Saint Denis...miranda is a grappler....look for lot of ground action...

Taha vs. Quiñonez
Cristian Quiñonez, DEC
Quinoez is a wrestler...aggressive type guy....making his debut..questionable

Perez vs. Egger
Stephanie Egger, DEC
Not really interested in this bout....lower level womens MMA is not great....Egger fought 2 weeks ago and got submitted...

Gomis vs. Errens
William Gomis, TKO, R2
Gomis is most likely the better striker

not taking the guy who lost to karl roberson

Haqparast vs. Makdessi
John Makdessi, DEC
dont let makdessi's age fool you. haqparast coming off surgery from his loss againt bobby green and he gets hit. makdessi is good with his range disadvantage. he can get in there and land some shots. maybe enough to win a decision

Jourdain vs. Wood
Nathaniel Wood, DEC
one guy is coming off a 29-28 decision loss and the other is coming off a 50-44 decision win

Stoltzfus vs. Magomedov
Abusupiyan Magomedov, DEC
stoltzfus is the slowest middleweight in history.

Ziam vs. Figlak
Fares Ziam, TKO, R1
bro just fought 3 weeks ago. ziams kickboxing is no joke. if figlaks strikes dont have the speed to match he wont lose. and ziam isnt a fish out of water on the ground

Nassourdine Imavov vs Joaquin Buckley
Joaquin Buckley, DEC
Definitely looking forward to this match up why it's not on the main card I will never understand. I think the explosiveness of Buckley plays a large factor in this fight also his cardio aswell has improved since the start of his UFC career. Can see Imavov getting stung with that Buckley power and becoming very hesitant, the same happened with Hawes but in this case Buckley is more technical and has a better chin than Hawes. I think Buckley has also learned now not to rush in, stay composed and not fight emotional.

Rob smokes Marv with a head kick. Izzy decisions Perriera. Rob then dismantles Costa and becomes undeniable #1 contender again forcing the trilogy and finally out points Izzy to reclaim the title! This is the time line.

When Tai beat Derrick I believe he took his power; on paper he should lose, but Tai by second round KO :)

Gane vs. Tuivasa
Ciryl Gane, TKO, R4
After the Leon-Usman fight a lot people will believe in knockout chances more. But this should be a masterclass performance for Gane, in & out picking Tai apart and getting a 3rd or 4th round TKO once Tai starts to slow down, it'll be a curl up "ahh f*** this s***" kinda TKO

Whittaker vs. Vettori
Robert Whittaker, DEC
The only thing keeping Whittaker from being the middleweight champion is Stylebender, should make this look easy as long as he has the same drive & ambition
