I like both Dom And Chito and won't get into a debate either winning is cool and fun to watch.
It is a great matchup for fans not really for either fighter in my opinion.

They are really good Crimson. And of course Santino speaks from a real coaches perspective. For example I did not really read a lot into Ode being a southpaw making it more difficult for Nam until I listened to him, and of course thinking about it now it makes so much sense. I do disagree with Santino on that one though! (I think Nam is too old and will likely have slowed down, I think Ode wins this one especially as he has the grappling edge).

But quite honestly I am not getting paid by them or getting anything to promote them, I've just spoken to them a lot and come to know them a bit and they are genuine and really nice guys. And their insight is really good and worth a listen even if you don't agree with them, So I just want to give credit where it's due and promote them and also give everyone here who bets and picks fights a chance to find them if they haven't seen them before. After all we are supposed to be a supportive community here and even though we have arguments and disagreements we are all fans here, and if everyone here does well and smashes the bookies then I for one am super happy.

Also recommend James Krauses podcast the 1% club as well. Very good insight and great reads. These are probably the best 2 podcasts I have found and along with other oldies and goodies like the Lock of the night, Stat Diggers, Dog or Pass, We want Picks and others there is a lot of good stuff out there.

Also if anyone is interested I've found for props/over unders Clint's show (Total Takedown) is really good. He has talent in picking over unders and is much much better at that than I could ever be.

I listen to a lot of podcasts (probably about 10 - 12 a week) and then do a little tape study as well (but these days time is a real problem with work etc) and try to piece everything together and with my own reads. I've done ok so far but owe a lot to these guys who are putting a lot of work and giving out content for free. Gotta appreciate that!

And of course when I want a good laugh there is always the MMA Guru who is always entertaining and he is a real fan. Though a little ******** lol

Vera vs. Cruz
Marlon Vera, TKO, R4
Like 2pac. Dominick Cruz live and die in SAN DIEGO🇪🇨💀

Onama vs. Landwehr
David Onama, TKO, R1
Onama is hyped af -300 🤣🤣🤣 But Landwehr is a gringo who likes to eat punches and he doesnt mix levels and that benefits the Prince of Uganda 😎🇺🇬

Jauregui vs. Lucindo
Yazmin Jauregui, DEC
This two ladies are the future of her division. This two women would embarrase Angela Hill and retire her forever , anyway, Jáuregui has the speed, power and great Kickboxing, and being this in short notice makes difficult to Lucindo ( the grappler ) being sucessful at the distance cause she needs takedowns and work in the flor and thats difficult vs Jáuregui who is strong and with a full training camp (1st fight of Lucindo in strawweight too)

Clark vs. Murzakanov
Azamat Murzakanov, TKO, R1
Another gringo who bites the dust😎🇺🇸

Lipski vs. Cachoeira
Ariane Lipski, DEC
I only picked Lipski in my life vs Böhm and now vs Cachoeira, that tells u a lot, next please 😎

Meerschaert vs. Silva
Bruno Silva, TKO, R1
Overrated gringo vs M1 Global Champ and dangerous on the feet and ground and pound. Easy money Blindado 😎🇧🇷

Hill vs. Godinez
Lupita Godinez, DEC
13-12🤣🤣🤣🤣 ( Angela Hill was robbed in múltiple close fights) 🤣🤣🤣 yes.... and another fact is... Angela Hill in her entire career never had a dominant performance as Lupita had recently. Welcome to PFL Angela 😎😎

Brzeski vs. Buday
Martin Buday, TKO, R2
Yes... Buday is not a lock, if you cant finish Barnett you are a not lock against anyone... well... probably against Mayo Buday would be a lock, but Mayonesse is not in the UFC, so I expect a ko in the clinch by Buday, cause the polish is even worst ( no cardio, no volume , and not strong as Buday) I repeat Buday SHOULD ko this guy but this could be a snoozefest

Nunes vs. Calvillo
Nina Nunes, DEC
If this two " fighters" havent passion for MMA, why I would waste my time breakdown her " fight "

Benítez vs. Ontiveros
Gabriel Benítez, TKO, R1
Yes, Ontiveros is even worst 🤣 Benítez should takedown him or clinch him and Ontiveros Will quit inmediately. Im not gonna say Benítez is a lock cause is a **** of fighter and he is the kind of mexican who doesnt fight smart. His takedown average in UFC is 0, lets see if he is smart enough to take this to the floor

Osbourne vs. Nam
Ode Osbourne, DEC
This dogma " This fighter is done, he is 38 years old " is only for *****s. Nam has the tools to win vs Osbourne who is not a great wrestler, not a great minute winner , but Nam Either, Nam always pressure but he has low volume cause he tends to end the combo with the right hand I see winning Ode at the distance cause has a lit bit more volume and the southpaw, reach, Counter and speed advantage but say Osbourne is a lock is for *****s

Witt vs. Quinlan
Josh Quinlan, TKO, R1
Witt Would lose by ko even against Chookagian. This should be easy money🇺🇸💩

Zalal vs. Blackshear
Youssef Zalal, DEC
And.... another gringo who bites the dust..😎😈🇲🇦

After listening to all opinions I value I am switching my pick from Vera to Cruz.

I agree Cruz is too smart to take a fight he will lose and Vera will likely play into his game.

Rewatching the Garbrandt fight. Man I really think once Chito gets going it's gonna get bad, he has so many more weapons than Cody.

Does anybody think Landwehr is a good dog?

Since moving to MMA Masters he really has adapted his style to a high guard, will Onama be caught head hunting not able to put Landwehr out and lose a DEC? 
Landwehr BJJ is also solid and is def improving at MMA Masters aswell.

I think he’s a good dog. I don’t think he wins because I believe Onama will chin him but there is a very good chance Nate The Train can pull out a decision in a close fight
