Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 380 Points   |   Tied for 3037th

Diaz vs. Ferguson
Tony Ferguson, TKO, R4
I think Ferguson better everywhere. Lets hope that chinny chin is at least briefly still there

Chimaev vs. Holland
Khamzat Chimaev, SUB, R1
Holland for sure has his chances. But odds represent the bout pretty well, borz first max second round.

Li vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, TKO, R2
Maybe late tko or decision for leech. Should be subbing ppl with name like this, but man prefers to switch lights out. Kudos to him. D rod wont be the same.

Aldana vs. Chiasson
Irene Aldana, SUB, R2
Probably decision but hoping for a finish. Wmma always greasy, couldnt pick chiasson for my life, not ufc material.

Walker vs. Cutelaba
Johnny Walker, TKO, R1
Hoping for a banger. Both crazy, after last ko hoping for walker to be a bit more careful. Cant deny man has skill. Unfortunately not a very strong ching.

Dawodu vs. Erosa
Hakeem Dawodu, TKO, R1
Got some dollaz on erosa, but dawodu should be too much. Happy with either outcome hope boys will bring it.

Almeida vs. Turkalj
Jailton Almeida, TKO, R1
Could go to decision, but smh think almeida by a kick somewhere. And the punches to finish.

Pickett vs. Tiuliulin
Jamie Pickett, DEC
Could go either way. Neither impressed, maybe Pickett finally will start to live up to potential.

Collier vs. Barnett
Jake Collier, TKO, R1
Dont see barnett having the gas tank, even after his walk in dance and half a round.

Weeks vs. Lainesse
Yohan Lainesse, TKO, R2
I do thinj lainesse sorted his gas tank problems. At least to some extent. Other than that weeks has nothing on him. Fairly confident in this one.

Predictions: 5 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 290 Points   |   Tied for 4048th

Diaz vs. Ferguson
Nate Diaz, DEC
49-46, 48-47, 47-48 Split Dec, but clear for Nate. the peppering shots add up and really tire out Tony.

Chimaev vs. Holland
Khamzat Chimaev, SUB, R2
brutal arm triangle choke.

Li vs. Rodriguez
Jingliang Li, DEC
I think Li's damage capability will shock D-Rod. D-Rod smart bet but i think Jing gets it done 29-28x2, 28-29 SP DEC

Aldana vs. Chiasson
Macy Chiasson, DEC
Split Dec 30-27, 29-28 , 28-29 Bad matchup for Irene IMO.

Walker vs. Cutelaba
Ion Cutelaba, DEC
I could see Walker smartening up here, and using that reach and lets face it He NEEDS to against ION. Ion 29-28Dec Uni.

Dawodu vs. Erosa
Hakeem Dawodu, TKO, R3
Strikes on the cage, from a mega combo that Julian can't recover from. TKO victory.

Almeida vs. Turkalj
Anton Turkalj, TKO, R2
Almeida looks good hate the odds here alot of danger on Anton side. Hook wobbles Jailton, Anton capitalizes.

Pickett vs. Tiuliulin
Jamie Pickett, TKO, R2
Punches and Knees on the cage, Ref steps in as Denis drops.

Collier vs. Barnett
Jake Collier, DEC
30-27x2 30-26 Uni. Grinding, slow, prodding fight.

Dumont vs. Wolf
Norma Dumont, SUB, R1
rear naked choke. If only...

Anheliger vs. Alateng
Heili Alateng, DEC
29-28x2, 30-27 Uni Dec.

Reed vs. Martinez
Melissa Martinez, DEC
29-28 Uni Dec. damage adds up on Elise.

Weeks vs. Lainesse
Yohan Lainesse, TKO, R2
good fight, Yohan lands a wild combo starting with a body kick, GnP tko finish.

Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 365 Points   |   Tied for 3269th

Diaz vs. Ferguson
Nate Diaz, DEC
hedge, it'd be cool to see tony get back on track, but the whirlwind of chaos this event has turned into has given nate a much clearer path to victory even despite his "i stopped training" comments.

Chimaev vs. Holland
Khamzat Chimaev, DEC
gonna be a question of gas tank, not confident chimaev will put him away early. i do think he'll be able to consistently get him down and avoid submission attempts though.

Li vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, DEC
li is gonna make it a war, but rodriguez likely has enough discipline to stay at range and choose his shots.

Aldana vs. Chiasson
Macy Chiasson, SUB, R2
macy needs to make it ugly and dynamic, irene needs to keep it clean at range. i was gonna take aldana's movement, but macy takes down nearly all of her opponents and irene loses when she gets taken down. as an invicta fan, i'll hope to be wrong.

Walker vs. Cutelaba
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R2
thinking ion will be able to see walker's big shots coming and change levels to force a grind/clinch.

Dawodu vs. Erosa
Hakeem Dawodu, DEC
wanna say that erosa will push a pace that hakeem can't match after a bad weight cut, but i still think julian will leave himself open for the counters when he overcommits so i think it'll be a volume vs power type of split decision.

Almeida vs. Turkalj
Jailton Almeida, TKO, R1
almeida looks the part of a future contender. anton is the same size and seems actually pretty decent, just a question of how badly the short notice affects it and how one is projecting almeida's career.

Pickett vs. Tiuliulin
Jamie Pickett, DEC
i wanna say that denis is being underestimated here but i'm gonna side with pickett's experience.

Collier vs. Barnett
Jake Collier, TKO, R3
collier is durable and barnett won't commit enough when in range to actually clip him. i'll say jake finds a tko on top this time.

Dumont vs. Wolf
Norma Dumont, SUB, R2
dumont should have the advantage if she can get past boxing range.

Anheliger vs. Alateng
Heili Alateng, DEC
i sound like a broken record but chad has been taken down a lot in his last 2 fights so i'll pick heili to do the same.

Reed vs. Martinez
Melissa Martinez, DEC
elise has been taken down often in her young ufc career, she needs more seasoning. i know nothing about melissa, but her record indicates she can strike. i'll say she can find td success too.

Weeks vs. Lainesse
Darian Weeks, DEC
low confidence on this matchup because i don't know much about either, but i "keep hearing" that lainesse is explosive early and then fades. weeks seems to find finishes too, but hasn't been finished even by a true bruiser like barberena, though he also has not won a pro decision. i'll go "against the grain" of picks here and say he can do so tonight. he was able to take down both of his ufc opponents thus far, maybe he can do so again here.

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 480 Points   |   Tied for 1486th

Aldana vs. Chiasson
Irene Aldana, DEC
If aldana doesnt come in right she loses but she should win this fight 9 out of 10 times on a good day. Macy doesnt have enough power to hurt aldana but i do think aldana can hurt macy. macy has never been knocked out so imma just say that aldana will drop her but not finsh and get the ud

Walker vs. Cutelaba
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R1
This ends 1st round and walker has a glass chin now a days. so Ion by 1st round murder. It could be closer now that walker has droped the cbd, but still hes to far gone now

Dawodu vs. Erosa
Hakeem Dawodu, DEC
Two guys with rock chins = war. So if erosa wants to win he needs to push the pace on hakeem which im sure he will do but to what levels of success, because if he stays at Hakeems pace he will lose for sure there is no doubt in my mind, but if erosa can make it his fight he has a better chance of winning. but i still agrue Hakeem will make it his fight and i smell a ud

Almeida vs. Turkalj
Jailton Almeida, TKO, R1
Almeida ground and pound round 1, Anton is good and will be top 15 in the future but Almeida is on a different level right now. if they rematch in the future it will be much closer.

Pickett vs. Tiuliulin
Jamie Pickett, DEC
Denis is a live dog but this is a pickett type of fight just sit and jab thats all he needs to do. I smell a Pickett UD

Collier vs. Barnett
Jake Collier, TKO, R3
Two words, Clinch Knees.

Dumont vs. Wolf
Norma Dumont, DEC
If norma loses this just kill the featherweight division wolf is 40 and should not be making her ufc debut like ***, norma by domantion

Anheliger vs. Alateng
Chad Anheliger, DEC
One of the closest fights on paper for this whole card. I could see chad's precision and counter ability just catching Heili whenever he comes in but i can also see Heili just keeping the distance and trying to land that jab, but imma have to go with Chad only because Heili gets hit by leg kicks alot and stands right in front of you so hes open to the jab and chad does both. as long as chad stays away from the right hand he can ud him 29-28 Chad

Reed vs. Martinez
Elise Reed, DEC
fight can go both ways but i like the fact that reed is active and can out kickbox cory. and martinez has the back up deffence where she just walks back to avoid shots that aint gonna work with a good kickboxer so reed gonna ud her

Weeks vs. Lainesse
Yohan Lainesse, DEC
yohan is a power puncher but weeks has a super good chin i dont see him winning but hes not going to lose by much
