Vitor Petrino, TKO, R1
Mismatch on the feet. Mismatch on the ground. Bellato will need to lay and pray. He should get the win here, but he is fairly chinny and Vitor is a young hard working dude with nothing else to do and vicious killer instinct. Love this rematch, but i'm choosing the young buck wit the juice.
Bonfim vs. Waters
Gabriel Bonfim, SUB, R2
Very fun fight. I cant see Gabriel's last fight or what his wrestling looks like. Trey is long with great footwork, feints, and works well off his jab. I want the brothers to take this, but Truth be told. Waters could be a biiiig problem if it stays standing and make it a clinic on the feet. someone send me some footage on Gabriel if possible.
Williams vs. Lawson
Jimmy Lawson, DEC
Best chance is a KO in the first round. Don't see Jimmy getting the finish outside of that.
Bonfim vs. Abbasov
Ismael Bonfim, TKO, R1
Nariman leaves a lot of opportunities on the feet via straight punches and counters and ducks his head when he throws over the top. Young Bonfim should have the ability to see the lack in technical skill on the feet and hurt Abbasov prior to finishing it on the ground. wouldn't be surprised if it is a ground and pound TKO victory due to Abbasov's lack of neck. Also wouldn't be surprised if Abbasov gets the nod in a decision due to output. Very fun one. Hope the brothers pull it out.
Bledá vs. Maia
Tereza Bledá, DEC
Interesting fight. Only way I can see Nayara win this is catching the Tereza in an armbar/Arm triangle, or holding her down. Havent seen much of Maia. Tereza looks pretty sound fundamentally with the hands. movement is okay. should have a height and reach advantage that will play big for her.

Gabriel Bonfim, TKO, R2
Bonfim could be signed to the UFC based on the strength of his 2 LFA wins, this fight doesn't even need to happen. It's gonna be sick though so I'm not complaining
Bledá vs. Maia
Tereza Bledá, DEC
I would definitely bet on Maia at such huge odds

Bellato vs. Petrino
Bonfim vs. Abbasov
Normally I'm confident in my picks but these two fight I feel it can go either way and I did my research watched the tapes and still not clear .
Bellato vs. Petrino
I did not like the striking from both fighter but it seems Petrino competition was not great , Bellato is from Sao Paulo and in bigger stable so he will have the experience advantage in my opinion so I will go with Bellato but not super confident .
Bonfim vs. Abbasov
In boxing terms this is the classic brawler vs counter boxer stylist, but this is MMA so and I believe the aggressive push forward style of Abbasov will not even let Bonfim think or create an strategy.
Abbosov by KO/UD due to volume in a crazy fight or Bonfim 1 KO counter shot late round 1.
