Clayton Carpenter, DEC
Trickier opponent for Clayton than Erceg imo. Edgar looks like he’s built out of steel much like Alex Pereira, unfortunately I think he has a hole in the ground game where Carpenter excels
Boynazarov vs. Silva
Erik Silva, SUB, R1
I think Anvar is gonna end up like Giga. Lose on DWCS then come back after 3-4 KOs and immediately start fighting people on the roster

I picked the other Erik Silva because I think that if he is submitting experienced mma fighters than he should definitely sub a kickboxer with only 3 pro fights. Never know with the contender series though
That’s funny, my predictions popped up after like 30 minutes after I entered them. Interesting

Bo Nickal, SUB, R2
This to me is more a test for Nickal´s striking as I consider Borrego decent in that department. Surely Nickal, will try to knock him out, but if that doenst work I can see him taking the fight to the ground and finish him there
Renato Jr. vs. Pogues
Jamal Pogues, DEC
I will favor Pogues here. Renato Jr is a small heavyweight (most of his tape is at welterweight) and he has mostly fought bums. Pogues is really well coached and I can see him taking the fight to the ground and dominating. Probably won´t earn a contact, but should be enough for the victory
Boynazarov vs. Silva
Anvar Boynazarov, TKO, R1
Both these guys have clear strengths, with Boynazarov being an elite kickboxer and Silva being a submission specialist. One thing I notice is Silva relies on heavy pressure for the takedowns, which I don´t think will work. I can also see him trying to stand and bang with Boynazarov, whiich won´t work either. To me, this is a stylistic missmatch, probably with the objective of rushing Anvar and having that Giga rematch
Carpenter vs. Cháirez
Clayton Carpenter, SUB, R1
Carpenter is the guy I see with the most future from the guys signed this DWCS this season (he gets the edge over Rebecki and Bonfim because of the division). He is the full package and has big credentials. Chairez is a dog and will bring the action, but his lack of a ground game makes me think the fight could end that way

Bo Nickal opened today as a -300 favorite on BOL. That number quickly moved to -1400. That is a more accurate line as Bo Nickal is a serious prospect. I am not sure there is a wrestler in MMA with more wrestling credentials than Bo right now. Henry Cejudo was an Olympic Champ but he fought in the UFC in his latter years. I do not see a way that Bo Nickal loses this fight.
Paulo Renato Jr. vs. Jamal Pogues
I am leaning towards Jamal Pogues. He is 26 and has a couple credible losses at an early age. He lost to Alex Polizzi and Jordan Young a few years back. He already has a decision victory on DWCS Week 9 from 2019. Renato Jr. has a fancy record but has not faced the toughest competition. A few of his pro fights were retirement fights for his opponents. Pogues is going drag Renato into deep waters and finish him inside the distance.
Erik Silva vs. Anvar Boynazarov
Anvar is a former Glory Kickboxer that actually beat Giga Chikadze back in 2015. They are both on the older side as Anvar is 33 and Erik Silva is 34. Age will not be a factor here but I believe Anvar's grappling ability will be tested here. This is not a good matchup for him considering Erik Silva is a heavy grappler. Will he be able to avoid Anvar's tough shots on the feet? I see this fight ending in a knockout by Anvar or a submission by Silva. I am going with submission by Erik Silva.
Clayton Carpenter vs. Edgar Chairez
No explanation needed for this one. Favorable matchup for Carpenter and I think Carpenter gets it done inside the distance.
Karolina Wojcik vs. Sandra Lavado
Wojcik by decision.

I would like to see him get more experience first even though he probably just runs through everyone not in the ufc right now. He’s lucky he’s at 185 too because that division is almost all strikers. He will be an absolute force at 185
