Santos vs. Hill
Jamahal Hill, TKO, R1
I'm uncertain on this, but I feel like Hill isn't going to sit around and play tit for tat like Santos's last couple fights, Hill's power is absurd and I think he'll get it done early. I really wish Thiago would retire, he's got nothing left to prove
Luque vs. Neal
Vicente Luque, DEC
Really hoping for a course correction from Luque here
Oleksiejczuk vs. Alvey
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R2
I'm preparing myself for when Alvey loses this and is still on the roster

McKinney vs. Gonzalez
Erick Gonzalez, DEC
Lock of the night, what are these odds? Smacking 500 on this man and Luque. Gonzalez dealt with so much problems his last fight. His wife left him days before his fight and His brother Passed. He couldn’t Work for a while but he still fought. He has been training a lot for this fight and will you work Terrance. I see Terrance gassing out

Idk why, but I like Geoff Neal as a dog. I think he made the improvements he had to make last fight and Luque kind of got shut out by Belal which I don't think Neal would be

Alvey should be cut by now, amazing he’s had as much success as he has in mma but these are the type of matchups that will give someone real healt problems. He doesn’t have anything to offer at ufc level anymore

Geoff Neal over Luque?
Predictions: 5 of 10 Winners, 0 Perfect, 250 Points | Tied for 3931st
I had a 4 leg ready to go but I see people talking up Neal, and that McKinney could gas because of the Dober fight.
Hill ml - (KO)
Luque ml - (Prob by Dec. Maybe Split, but I expect him to stay more busy than Neal and mix it up, get him on the cage and fight in the clinch).
McKinney ml - (By Finish, could get dragged into later rds and gas, maybe too risky to include a -850)
Spivak ml - (Ground n Pound)
+260 for 4 legz
Any lock I'm missing here?
Will Geoff Neal look like Belal Muhammad in this fight?
Am I high?

Luque vs. Neal
Vicente Luque, SUB, R2
Good scrap for the co-main. I can see most of the first round primarily stays on the feet. Each fighter finding timing and range and exchanging a few power shots. I look for Neal to throw some heaters early and get Luque out of there. Luque should have the speed and volume advantage on the feet. I look for Luque to use a lot of heavy calf kicks to slow Neal down. The later the fight goes I look for Vincente to mix in some clinch work. From there he can land some clean elbows and land some trips. I believe he can find Neal in a scramble and sneak in another D'arce choke sub.
Pauga vs. Usman
Zac Pauga, DEC
Zac Pauga should be able to land clean and crisp all day on Usman. Most of Usman's power comes off his counter punching in the pocket exchanges. Look for Pauga to be able to work in and out with his combos and cruise to a decision victory.
Miller vs. Walker
Brogan Walker, DEC
Interesting TUF finale fight. Brogan Walker is more of the well rounded mixed martial artist while Juliana Miller is more of a submission specialist. Juliana Miller is a scrappy fighter with a long wiry frame. Very active guard and tricky in grappling scrambles. She showed some impressive ground and pound against Kaytlin Neal. Her striking is very elementary and Walker should have a substantial advantage on the feet. Walker has fought tougher competition throughout the Invicta promotion. Look for Walker to utilize some good footwork, evade the grappling exchanges and piece Miller up from the outside and secure a decision win.
Sakai vs. Spivak
Sergey Spivak, TKO, R3
Tough fight to read because I can see winning outcomes for both. Sakai can throw with power and volume early and catch Spivak. Spivak has been clipped early by Walt Harris, but since then has been rather durable. Sakai should have volume and power early but if Spivak is able to get to grappling range should be able to get Sakai to the mat. If he does, he has show some fast vicious ground and pound and get Augusto out of there.
Lipski vs. Cachoeira
Ariane Lipski, DEC
Interesting fight in the sense that Lipski should definitely have the cleaner more effective strikes. Cachoeira's best defensive weapon is her ability to take damage. I expect Cachoeria to live up to her moniker, "catch a beatin" and LIpski should be able to piece her up for 3 rounds.
Oleksiejczuk vs. Alvey
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R2
Oleksiejczuk should have a significant striking advantage. I always been a fan of Alvey but he's 36 and hasn't won since getting a split decision victory over Gian Villante in 2018. I can see Alvey surviving a round. But after that, the pressure and volume should get to him .I look for Oleksiejczuk to sting Alvey with a shot then swarm on him for a TKO.
McKinney vs. Gonzalez
Terrance McKinney, TKO, R1
Look for Mckinney to get in there with some early power and volume and get Gonzalez out of there early.
Sato vs. Battle
Bryan Battle, SUB, R2
Haven't been overly impressed with Battle, but Sato hasn't shown any ability to deal with grappling. Sato's best chance is to storm Battle early and get him out of there. I'm sure Battle should be able to get this to the mat and find a way to lock in a submission from there.
Witt vs. Quinlan
Josh Quinlan, TKO, R1
This just feels like an easy out for Quinlan. Jason Witt has been a serviceable veteran, but has been getting clipped frequently in his career. I look for Quinlan to be aggressive early and come out mixing in kicks and punches. If Witt is unable to get this fight to some kind of grappling exchange early, I see him going to sleep. Quinlan comes in early drops Witt in the first.
McKenna vs. Granger
Cory McKenna, DEC
I look for this fight to be a bounce back spot for McKenna. She fought a terrible game plan with Elise Reed and ended up on the wrong end of a decision. Look for McKenna to get back to her wrestling. From there, Mckenna can finish with ground and pound, but I see Granger being tricky on the ground. Granger has a good guard and always hunting the submission with 5 submission wins notched on her record. McKenna should have a strong top game and able to control Granger. As long as McKenna can avoid the subs from Granger. She should be able to grapple herself to victory.
Bueno Silva vs. Egger
Mayra Bueno Silva, DEC
Should be a close competitive fight. I juggled back and forth with this one. Bueno Silva should see success on the feet with more volume than Egger. Egger has slick judoka skills with great hip throws and trips. Whenever she lands those throws, she finds herself in an advantageous top position that usually leads to submission opportunities. Bueno Silva has grappling skills as well with 5 submission wins to her credit She has a slick guard. I see more paths to victory with Bueno Silva. She should be able to stand at range with Egger and out strike her. If this fight gets to a grappling exchange, I can see it being even. I have Bueno Silva in a close one.
Vicente Luque, SUB, R2

Ya he beat Carlos Felipe but it wasn't convincing. He couldn't buy a takedown until round 3 and was lucky Felipe is not well conditioned. Sakai is basically the same fighter as Felipe but better conditioned, little bit smarter and just generally better so if you struggle with Felipe I think Sakai will cause problems. It was longer ago than I remembered and Spivak probably got better since then... but still, not picking this straight. I like decision here and they're big boys so odds should be decent.

Mayra Bueno Silva vs Stephanie Egger
Mayra Bueno Silva, DEC
The last two wins from Egger have been impressive to me but both of her opponents she got those wins against are not at the same level as Bueno Silva who has much better grappling than both of them combined. I feel like the strength of Bueno Silva will play a large factor in this fight, when Egger goes for they judo throws she always attempts I believe Bueno Silva will make it much more difficult for her to succeed in them because of that strength she has. Also on the feet Bueno Silva definitely has the power advantage and very good muay thai to keep Egger at bay.

That's how AyyLameass hedges his bets. He does it all the time which is why everyone hates him on here.
He talks big like he knows everything about every fighter, then talks up one fighter, but then picks the other. He also makes his oicks and the switches just before the fights start if he realizes that the good predictors have picked someone else. Of course he never tells the fools following his picks that he switched last minute
Then after his fighter loses he starts saying I should never have switched lol. Also if the fighter he has been hyping up so much losrs then he turns on them and starts talking about how **** they are and how he should have known better.
He is also very tricky about other people on here and doesn't like it when people go against his picks. Look how many people he has argued with or has a problem with on here. Clown ass.
Hes the most unpopular knowall person here but tries so hard to be popular lol

Gonzalez has some decent stand up, but his ground game is shaky at best. McKinney subbed Ziam quickly and he was easy fresher then "The Ghost Pepper"... I dont see this one lasting long.
