Kamaru Usman, TKO, R3
could be a submission as well.
Costa vs. Rockhold
Paulo Costa, TKO, R1
Luke. Bad choice dawg.
Aldo vs. Dvalishvili
José Aldo, DEC
Jose stuffs the takedowns with the hips and wins in the standup. 5 round fight would go to Merab.
Pudilová vs. Wu
Lucie Pudilová, DEC
Hard pick here.
Pedro vs. Hunsucker
Tyson Pedro, TKO, R1
Tyson is a menace.
Tybura vs. Romanov
Alexandr Romanov, TKO, R1
King kong has all the **** on Tybura.
Gordon vs. Santos
Jared Gordon, DEC
Should be a good fight to the second round. Dont think either can hold their gas tank.
Woodson vs. Saldaña
Sean Woodson, TKO, R2
Feel confident in the second round finish if Sean can find his range early.
Fletcher vs. Loosa
AJ Fletcher, DEC
Not big on either fighter.
Albazi vs. Figueiredo
Amir Albazi, DEC
Prob a finish by Amir
Aoriqileng vs. Perrin
Aoriqileng, TKO, R2
By murder or banger.
Altamirano vs. da Silva
Victor Altamirano, DEC
Victor will have the speed advantage on the feet. Should take it to the distance.

All i'm saying is post prime Aldo has been longer than title run Aldo, And people been calling him done for 7 year, And been saying for the whole time Aldo should of retire, It's pretty crazy how he back at a number one conteder spot

José Aldo, TKO, R1
Rocking with Aldo shock everybody, though I think the fight really is dependent on whether or not Aldo can stop the TD and get back up. He’s looked great at it but never faced someone as wrestle heavy as Merab and his style is a bit unorthodox coming from JUDO I believe
Tybura vs. Romanov
Marcin Tybura, SUB, R1
Taking the dawg here backing my fellow pole he’s clearly the B side though and might take a bit of magic to get it done I do think he’s live for it though not to mention the elevation
Gordon vs. Santos
Jared Gordon, TKO, R2
Santos round 1 or Gordon 1000% don’t see Santos able to go a full 15 anymore
Fletcher vs. Loosa
Ange Loosa, TKO, R2
Toughest one to call for me I feel like they coming out swangin and bangin and even w both guys toughness everyone gets put out eventually

I go with Jared Gordon at -270. He has a youthful fight IQ. Gordon might screw the adversary.
Aoriqileng vs. Perrin
I fancy Aoriqileng at -145. He has a zesty butterfly sweep and a militant armpit slam. Aoriqileng should punish the dissentient.
Fletcher vs. Loosa
I am sticking with AJ Fletcher at -160. He has a zingy head coach. Fletcher is about to ruin the humiliating defeat.
Costa vs. Rockhold
I go with Paulo Costa at -360. He has a jaunty fight IQ. Costa should nationalize the TV audience.
Albazi vs. Figueiredo
I elect Amir Albazi at -500. He has a hot leg kick and a nasty head coach. Albazi should shatter the performance.
Aldo vs. Dvalishvili
I trust Merab Dvalishvili at -140. He has a kooky bear hug. Dvalishvili could drop the cycle.
Tybura vs. Romanov
I trust Alexandr Romanov at -375. He has a woebegone spinning back fist. Romanov isn't about to bully the cutman.
Altamirano vs. da Silva
I am loyal to Victor Altamirano at -170. He has an excellent ankle lock and an exotic kneebar. Altamirano should limit the deed.
Pedro vs. Hunsucker
I am going with Tyson Pedro at -750. He has an integral overhand and a kooky ground and pound and also a meritorious hane goshi. Pedro must locate the senses.
Usman vs. Edwards II
I desire Kamaru Usman at -350. He has a yellow-bellied back mount. Usman isn't about to grind the opposition.
Woodson vs. Saldaña
I am loyal to Sean Woodson at -345. He has a kinky butterfly sweep. Woodson should usurp the previous pitfalls. Money in the bank!
