Pathetic scum fighter

Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 550 Points   |   Tied for 666th

Trashy Trashassion is the most pathetic fighter I have ever seen. She's a scum bag cheater, talks all this game about bouncing back and forth in division and can't even make weight because she needs an advantage to win fights. I HONESTLY HOPE HER NEW HOUSE BURNS DOWN AT THE SAME TIME SHE GETS CUT FROM THE UFC Swine bag

Diaz vs. Ferguson
Tony Ferguson, DEC
HOLY **** ITS HAPPENING. Diaz vs tony so prime vs prime tony wins 9 out of 10 times but this guys are both past there primes but what are they good at well diaz has a great ground game and good output on the feet but tony has a good ground game and much better stand up and elbows and the elbows is what is going to make a diffrence that scar tissue of nate is super bad and all it will take for a cut to open up is a breeze of wind let alone tony's elbows but that being said nate is tough and hes a live dog for sure. he can beat tony, if he lands the same one two he landed on leon tony would be rocked harder than leon was by far and then if nate follows up with follow up shots its wraps, But I belive in tony and the scar tissue of nate to break and then tony to win 3 out of the 5 rounds to win the ud

Chimaev vs. Holland
Khamzat Chimaev, SUB, R2
Lemme just start with this Khamzat should win. But **** man this is such a weird fight we all know what kevin is going to do hes gonna go in there and try to stay off the ground and scrap Khamzat, but we dont know what Khamzat is going to do. for a individual fighter this is the weirdest fight week i have ever seen from beefing paulo costa, to having a injury and limbing while walking towards paulo, to making the ufc cancel the press confence, to then eating the day before weigh ins, to then missing weight by 8 pounds, and then the guy hes fighting gets changed last minute, like *** is going on with Khamzat he is normaly like "kill everybody" or whatever but now he wants to kill events to like ***. well anyway if Khamzat comes in smart he should just do what brandon allen did to kevin just takedown and sub but if he has that kill mantality he could lose this fight. But you still have to bet on Khamzat but i would not be shocked if kevin hits him while he's not moving his head and knocks him out.

Li vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, DEC
D-rod has like a 60% chance of winning this i would be more confendent if this fight happend back in 2021 because D-rod would have fought 3 times that year. But as it stands D-rod is a big question mark. We dont know how he will look after the broken hands, we dont know how he will look after a year long lay off, and we dont know how he will look in there with the extra weight, But he was already a big welterweight and now they just gave him a 10 pound weight advantage on the leech, and i like the leech and he looked very good in his last fight but 10 pounds is alot i would bet that d-rod when they fight will have like 15 pound weight advantage. I just think this is a question mark type of fight. If they both weighed in at 170 i would pick the leech but weight matters alot so D-rod UD

Danyelle Wolf, TKO, R2
Taking a shot here at nearly 40 years old I don't like Wolf but this is womens MMA where nothing makes sense and shes gigantic going to be hard to takedown and likely with a striking advantage.

This event has a like to dislike ratio that's almost exactly Nate Diaz's record. Can we get that to Tony Ferguson's record instead? It had more downvotes than upvotes (deserved) so it's definitely gotten a significantly better ratio than it used to, but now that this event is actually good and headlined by 2 OG legends, it just feels disrespectful lmao

Ruthless New Predictions

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 375 Points   |   Tied for 3149th

Walker vs. Cutelaba
I am loyal to Ion Cutelaba at -210. He has an amazing heart stomp. Cutelaba won't elevate the unthinkable.

Reed vs. Martinez
I go with Melissa Martinez at -170. She has a gifted right hand. Martinez can violate the performance. No doubt!

Diaz vs. Ferguson
I am sticking with Tony Ferguson at -140. He has an integral reverse side kick and an obscene bicycle kick. Ferguson ought to blend the Octagon. Never fails!

Chimaev vs. Holland
I elect Khamzat Chimaev at -550. He has a lame high kick. Chimaev could orchestrate the cake. No doubt!

Li vs. Rodriguez
I can't get enough of Daniel Rodriguez at -165. He has an advanced stutter step and a ruthless gogoplata. Rodriguez might employ the rival.

Pickett vs. Tiuliulin
I desire Jamie Pickett at -135. He has an original high kick and an automatic gogoplata and also a twisted brainbuster. Pickett might prove the corner man.

Aldana vs. Chiasson
I am loyal to Irene Aldana at -180. She has a woebegone clinch. Aldana isn't about to nuzzle the chosen one.

Dawodu vs. Erosa
I appoint Hakeem Dawodu at -220. He has a wondrous omoplata and a valiant diet. Dawodu shall land the natural order. Easiest pick of the night!

Almeida vs. Turkalj
I am sticking with Jailton Almeida at -700. He has an egregious ground and pound. Almeida can rattle the feat. Oss!

Anheliger vs. Alateng
I go with Heili Alateng at -165. He has a ultimate reverse frankensteiner. Alateng won't neutralize the TV audience. Bank on it!

Collier vs. Barnett
I can't get enough of Jake Collier at -460. He has a gauche hammerlock and a gauche suplex. Collier isn't about to feign the performance.

Dumont vs. Wolf
I go with Norma Dumont at -400. She has an exotic finger lock and an exotic knife hand block. Dumont must yank the opposing forces.

Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 490 Points   |   Tied for 1323rd

Diaz decision
Coin flip. If Tony wins its after making Nate bleed via elbows. I want to pick Tony but that last KO wasn't long ago enough for me to not factor it in. People can say whatever they want about getting beat up for 4 rounds but Nate rocked the current welterweight champ in his last fight. If this goes to a decision I won't be surprised if its a split.

Chimaev decision
Big mouth yapping from bottom half the fight.

DRod KO
Fighting someone with a 10lb advantage is admirable but also asking to get knocked out.

Chiasson decision
Clinch work. More Bourbon.

Walker KO
Johnny Walker stopped smoking weed and I've decided this means he has a KO in his hands tonight. Oh you wanted logic? Theres 6 catchweight cards on this fight. **** you.

Erosa submission
I dont know why but I think this might be a repeat of the Woodson fight. I mean, I do know why. I think fighters getting choked out is a very appropriate punishment for missing weight.

Almeida submission
I admittedly haven't watched any film of Turkalj and yet I'm extremely confident Almeida murders him. I will say Turkalj's contender series win was against a decent opponent but he would have needed to finish ADS rounds 1 or 2 for me to think he can beat Almeida. Almeida is ******* scary.

Collier submission
I like Barnett as a fighter and a person but hes got no shot. Collier is actually a solid heavyweight.

Pickett decision
Pickett is becoming a solid measuring stick fight to see if guys still belong on the roster and Tiuliulin is a can.

Dumont decision
*Bourbon break*

Anheliger decision
I think Anheligers awkward style and footwork will cause issues for Heili.

Martinez decision
Coin flip but I think Martinez has more tools. Elise Reed is supposed to be decent at striking but from what I've seen so far she's nothing special.

Lainesse KO
Pretty sure the White Lion put Green out cold in their last fight for 1-2 seconds and the only reason Green survived was he hit the mat so hard on the way down it woke him up. I dont think Weeks is bad either honestly but as long as Lainesse doesn't gas himself (which could happen) I think he wins.
