I hedged KO in leagues where I can still get round point for KO-3 but I know HWs but I think Brzeski will hang on. It’s not like the guys Buddy been putting away have been world beaters. I think he has a tougher time here.
I hedged Lipski sub maybe Jauregui KO there too. I don’t put a ton of effort in my picks. By a ton I mean I haven’t watched a video for a pick in a decade probably. Just go off what I recall and dumb luck. I’m don’t expect much of my picks. Just ****s and giggles making the fights a bit more fun.

I feel like most of the favorites are winning tomorrow but I got a weird feeling ode is gonna get ko’ed. nam isn’t great but he can crack. Ode is super hittable and tires out later in the fight. He also trains at syndicate so their game plan is going to be to drop the hands and trade in the pocket with the power puncher

The old men (Nam and Cruz) are the two who looked the most strained at the weigh ins.

Vera vs. Cruz
Marlon Vera, TKO, R4
I think this is the fight where the narrative is gonna turn into "Cruz has to retire" I've always said that MMA is the saddest sport and this fight will be another example of it. You can't outrun father time.
Onama vs. Landwehr
Nate Landwehr, DEC
I think Landwehr would've had a different career path if he joined the UFC early. David "The Punished African" Onama I'm expecting to get wrestle****** just to against the grain with Tapology here.
Jauregui vs. Lucindo
Yazmin Jauregui, DEC
Lucindo lookin' like Rihanna trained for a fight against Chris Brown. I believe in the Modelo fighting spirit on this one.
Lipski vs. Cachoeira
Priscila Cachoeira, DEC
is Lipski one of those cute chicks that are technical stand up people? I dunno I think more masculine wins it's WMMA
Meerschaert vs. Silva
Bruno Silva, DEC
Bruno Silva might be the most generic forgettable brazilian name there is, that's an automatic win. let's hope the brazilian actually knows jiu-jitsu.
Hill vs. Godinez
Lupita Godinez, DEC
Goddamn godinez I like her smile.
Brzeski vs. Buday
Martin Buday, TKO, R3
Someone said that Buday supposed to be a Pro Counter-Strike player but he doesn't even have a HLTV profile. Polish guy needs to improve his brain if he wants to win, and knowing the poles I don't think that's gonna happen.
Benítez vs. Ontiveros
Gabriel Benítez, DEC
Ontiveros deserves to lose with the british roadman ****boy haircut
Osbourne vs. Nam
Ode Osbourne, DEC
Ode ode ode odeeee? oh they were flyweights.
Witt vs. Quinlan
Josh Quinlan, TKO, R2
I'm going with Tapology on this one, if Witt isn't a good wrestler he doesn't have a chance.
Zalal vs. Blackshear
Da'Mon Blackshear, DEC
I'll never forget Zalal just playing around and not being serious in the Topuria fight (I think)

Ode being at Syndicate is honestly what worries me the most. Who knows what genius plan they have made for this fight. Maybe they are even getting advice from Fortis as well

I think a favourtes getting Knockout parley can be quite profitable, Any combanation of Benitez, Quinlan, Chito, Silva, Onama and Anzamet by KO can be profitable,
My parley i'm doing is Silva, Chito and Quinlan by Ko at +1200, My book didn't offer Benitez by KO and I think Onama and Azamet might be the greaster bets

@AyyLmao, Lipski made weight because it's at 135 while last week was at 125 (in which she came in at 128.5).

how is ontiveros in the ufc? his entire schtick is a supposed flashy tkd kicker with good timing... but his overall skill set is so poor. bj penn could probably come out of retirement and get a tko against this guy. he's not even a can he's like a dixie cup

Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 395 Points | Tied for 2162nd
How is Dom Cruz the Bantamweight Goat but constantly the underdog in his fights, his only lost title fights and could get a Dec, but I believe more in Veras power/endurance to last in the championship rounds, so it’s all about the early rounds and who can set a pace, Vera waits in round one to download data, but begins to find openings and counters later on, I see this being really competitive and maybe controversial with the ending, round 3 maybe be the deciding round or round 5.

Vera vs. Cruz
Marlon Vera, TKO, R4
Leg kicks, elbows on Cruz's way in and whilst chito is pressuring and traditional style kicks when Chito gets his groove on. However if Cruz goes for more of a wrestling heavy approach, especially early on, it can make things very interesting, considering he gets the TDs ofc, gotta watch out for Chito's dangerous grappling tho too.
Onama vs. Landwehr
David Onama, TKO, R2
50/50 for me
Lipski vs. Cachoeira
Ariane Lipski, DEC
I was really willing to pick Cachoeira by late stoppage or decision because of Lipski's weight cut issues last time and covid but this time it's at 135lbs so I dont see health issues being that huge. However the covid she had still really scares me, but at the end of the day with a better weight cut and less weight to cut in general, I will reluctantly pick Lipski by 29-28, winning by being more technical. She definitely has a better ground game but she doesnt really attempt TDs so I won't take into too much consideration.
Benítez vs. Ontiveros
Gabriel Benítez, TKO, R1
Honestly wouldnt be surprised to see an early stoppage win from ontiveros whilst Benitez is trying to get on the inside but I think Benitez will be too defensively aware for the too happen.
Osbourne vs. Nam
Ode Osbourne, TKO, R1
Long layoff, older for the weight class and fighting a young but most importantly very fast guy for the division. Yeah I'll pick Osbourne. Its still risky because Nam also has a bunch of power, so either way this goes, itll probably be a finish
