If you don't immediately follow this up with "I will come back and post about how wrong I was if (x) fighter does win" then nobody gives a ****.

Jingliang Li, DEC
Li is ready for this, he’s such a posed striker he gets it done by decision
Almeida vs. Turkalj
Jailton Almeida, TKO, R1
Anton is a decent grappler but the level of competition is no where near close
Collier vs. Barnett
Jake Collier, DEC
Collier is so damn awful, but chris is somehow more worse

Danyelle lacks so much mma iq, easy win for Norma.

Nate Diaz, SUB, R4
Even matchup, although Tony hasn’t let his body recover at all and wasn’t expecting a 5 round fight.

Nate Diaz, DEC
Nate wins everywhere.
Chimaev vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, TKO, R3
Kevin withstands the wrestling and KO's the darkhorse.
Li vs. Rodriguez
Jingliang Li, TKO, R1
The leech by KO. Dude is a gym rat and nasty on the counters/empty space. His last fight was literally a toss up for his style. Daniel will have to hold on for a dub.
Walker vs. Cutelaba
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R1
Fun fight. bad one for Johnny.
Dawodu vs. Erosa
Julian Erosa, SUB, R2
Hard pick. Julian could have the edge everywhere. Hakeem is a dawg tho and has a nasty left hand.
Almeida vs. Turkalj
Jailton Almeida, TKO, R1
Sketchyyyyyyyyy but is Jailton right?
Pickett vs. Tiuliulin
Denis Tiuliulin, TKO, R1
Denis puts on the pressure and catches jamie. If jordan wright could do it so can Denis.
Collier vs. Barnett
Chris Barnett, TKO, R2
Chris pulls off the upset via footwork and karate ****.
Dumont vs. Wolf
Norma Dumont, DEC
IDK kinda wanna go with Danyelle. def going to hedge her in a parlay.
Anheliger vs. Alateng
Heili Alateng, TKO, R2
Alateng has the sharper punches and footwork. Should be a fun one.
Reed vs. Martinez
Melissa Martinez, TKO, R2
Mellisa's footwork will hopefully prevent the takedowns and set up the KO. Elise is by far the superior wrestler. could def lay and pray.
Weeks vs. Lainesse
Darian Weeks, TKO, R2
Darian bounces back from is 2 fight skid. Better technical striker and has the cardio edge. Yohan will need to lay and pray or make it a brawl.

HERE WO GO!!!!

Diaz Ferguson is a proper legends fight!! Hopefully Diaz can get another win, finish and bonus to add to the record! I wss seriously tempted to pick Kevin Holland!!! It's plainly obvious that Chimaev is highly strung and that may work against him. I think he has to get rid of Holland early if not I think he may gas out and things are going to get dicey for him if it goes 4th and 5th.
Some decent action fights spread among the undercard, Jingliang D Rod. Erosa Dawudo at the top. Also Jailton Almeida is a super intriguing guy at 205/Heavyweight, looks like he could be a real contender!
Anyway, let's ****** GO!!!!!!
