Ko/Tko in rounds 3,4, or 5 of the main event has been cashing the last like 4-5 events def worth it here considering how much nate gets cut, +1100 for tony finish in the last 3 rounds

Diaz vs. Ferguson
Nate Diaz, DEC
There are few other options that would be better to welcome back Ferguson to the welterweight division than Diaz. I think the volume is what is going to win it for Nate.

Chimaev vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, TKO, R2
We all saw Burns take Khamzat to deep waters. I believe Holland has a comparable skill set to Burns but on a bigger frame. Not to mention Khamzat hasn’t fought someone this big since GM3. You can’t sleep on Holland’s striking or ground skill. His wrestling defense will most certainly have gotten better.

Li vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, DEC
I don't think the weight will be an advantage to Li, and all the switching won't affect both guys much. Both are mentally strong. I find it hard that Li will be able to hurt Rodriguez or take him down, so I see Rodriguez controling this one by the end.

Aldana vs. Chiasson
Irene Aldana, DEC
Aldana is a top skilled fighter. Her long awaited return. I don't think Chiasson's size or length will be a factor in this one. Aldana I think has better striking.

I’m really torn on Jingliang vs D-Rod and Diaz vs Ferguson, currently have Li and Diaz both winning but I might switch picks

  • have faith in Weeks/Lainesse going the distance. Lainesse to win 30-27.
  • martinez just because everyone else likes her. didn't know she existed until a couple days ago
  • no clue who wins the anheliger/alatengheli fight
  • dumont by decision. should retire if a 1-0 beats her but dumont doesn't have the power to finish the larger woman
  • barnett only looked good for 5 seconds when he wheelkicked a guy into retirement. collier wins
  • almeida by murder
  • dawodu is solid everywhere, decision is where this should go
  • avoiding the walker/cutelaba fight like the plague.
  • chimaev inside the distance. if holland somehow has good wrestling he could win in the later rounds
  • ferguson by decision. a lot more output and the fact nate can get dropped by jabs post round 3.

    would bet the house on chimaev/dawodu/collier/dumont.

if holland goes with Chimaev in championship rounds he can get W, we saw khamzat gas out in Burns fight, cardio will be very crucial segment

for me, the people who thinks nate beats tony, started watching ufc in 2016 and overrate him. not clowning you and diaz, he is a icon, but was not that type of fighter

Ferguson-Diaz

Predictions: 1 of 3 Winners, 0 Perfect, 50 Points   |   Tied for 4820th

I would’ve taken Ferguson back then in this matchup and I’m taking him now, they’re on the same playing field with age and damage, this will be skill for skill and I think Ferguson has it over Nate

The fight that’s hard for me to decide is the Leech and Rod, Leech has fought better competition but Rod is still at that stage of proving himself and moving up. We wont know who’s better between the 2 until the fight is over
