Costa's fight with Vettori wasn't all that bad and he surprised me with his gas tank in the 5th round. Vettori is an absolute tank so no shame in losing to him either.

Kamaru Usman, DEC
leon is a lot different this time out but so is usman in fact usman is much better now then the last time these two fought he was a sloppy striker with good grappling positions but couldnt really do anything more then hold you down now he is the complete fighter crisp jabs good leg kicks takdoowns and TDD good sub game and ground and pound i honestly see usman getting a finish here but i think rocky will make it tough as he clearly has wanted this fight for a while so ill say 50-45 decision leon didnt stand a chnace
Costa vs. Rockhold
Luke Rockhold, SUB, R1
paulo pasta im sorry brother but the wine you gave me wasnt good and now i have to pick against you rockhold has no ******* chin and paulo easily could connect but rockhold has the more technical sstriking of the two the better ground game the better gas tank and i also think he has less to lose if rockhold gets knocked out so what people already expect it but what if rockhold went out their and dominated paulo and eventually beat him thats alot of pressure on my wine drinking friend and we have seen in the past he doesnt deal well with pressure
Aldo vs. Dvalishvili
José Aldo, TKO, R2
hard fight to predict because merab could possibly just wrestle**** aldo but aldo looks rejuvenated out their and has been on a tear since the petr loss i think we see aldo come out and put on a striking masterpiece before hitting merab with a hard shot stunning him and then dropping him with a good body shot
Tybura vs. Romanov
Marcin Tybura, TKO, R3
tybura is not some slouch i dont think romanov is that impressive i think he has destroyed cans which isnt an accomplishment tybura is way better on the ground then the other opponents hes faced is a veteran and has a ******* tank i think we see him tire out romanov get the takedown and take the win and romanovs 0
Woodson vs. Saldaña
Luis Saldaña, DEC
woodson is very good but i really liked saldana in his last fight and i like his chances here hes very fast and im thinking he hits the better shots of the two
Aoriqileng vs. Perrin
Aoriqileng, TKO, R1
MONGOLIAN MURDERER catches another body LFG
Pedro vs. Hunsucker
Tyson Pedro, TKO, R1
pedro by vicious leg kicks and a mean combo drop harry and the ref pulls pedro off easy
Altamirano vs. da Silva
Victor Altamirano, DEC
i want ds silva to win but he just cant seem to put it together
Fletcher vs. Loosa
AJ Fletcher, TKO, R1
fletcher looked really good his last time out i thought he almost won he showed heart chin aggression and explosiveness all good things to see in ayoung fighter i hope he gets the KO here
Albazi vs. Figueiredo
Amir Albazi, SUB, R1
albazi is unproven but im almost positive hes better then the ****** figgy
Gordon vs. Santos
Leonardo Santos, DEC
come on santos get a nice win here and retire

Aldo vs Merab is a CRAZY fight. Aldo is making a run to the title, and as much as I like Merab I believe Aldo is a stylistic nightmare
I’m anxious to see Amir Albazi’s return to the octagon, though I was hoping he would get matchup against someone ranked above him!
Great card!

Anything can happen though. Merab and Sterling could decide to fight.
