Prediction Comments

Predictions: 5 of 5 Winners, 0 Perfect, 325 Points   |   Tied for 365th

Nickal vs. Beard
Bo Nickal, SUB, R2
Beard is a good regional fighter, but his strengths are going to be cancelled by Nickal´s eliteness in the ground game. Beard is a tough guy that won´t be finished in the first minute of the fight, so the over 1.5 rounds bet is something to watch out before if it is really good

Patterson vs. Cenci
Sam Patterson, SUB, R3
I think this will be closer than people think, Cenci has the size and has been training at a good camp for a while. He also has the power to crack Patterson´s chin. This is easier said than done as Patterson is a really technichal striker. This combined with his length and strength of schedule makes me think Sam should be able to finish this fight in the later rounds

Linares vs. Jenkins
Jack Jenkins, TKO, R2
I am going to trust the australian´s volume and pace on this one, Linares path to victory is through the ground, but Jenkins should be able to defend it. He will be looking for a finish and he will provide us one.

Ramos Estevam vs. Elias
Rafael Ramos Estevam, TKO, R3
This is a really good fight, as both these guy are really good. Elias will likely try to finish in the first and I doubt he can keep the pace multiple rounds. Ramos has the cardio and the power to finish the fight once Elias gets tired

Ajim vs. Mendonça
Mateus Mendonça, TKO, R2
Ajim isn´t really good but has a puncher´s chance, so Mendonça better have a good chin. If he overcomes those first minutes before Ajim gasses he should be able to finish him.

I have a weird feeling that Cenci is going to pull the upset and win. Logically, it seems like Patterson should be a lock, yet ever since the line has come out, Cenci has been the one taking money. He's been training at Kings MMA for at least 2-3 years it looks like, and has been regularly sparring/training with Vettori, Neiman Gracie, and Giga, among others. You can clearly see his striking progression looking at some of his IG videos now vs. a few years ago, too. Just one of those situations where it seems those in the UFC brass have clearly seen tape or something on this kid to know he warrants this shot, because his record is full of cans, and certainly lacking video evidence. In my opinion, he's probably the best dog to take a flyer on tonight.

This card is going to be a greasy mess lol.  I think Censi has enough grainy footage out there that got back to the matchmakers to convince them to give this kid a shot.  I've seen two videos and they are both pretty fast finishes.  Again, I can't bet this fight with that line on Patterson.  All the value is on the dog.

Also alot of people seem to be high on Jack Jenkins but he seems like a can crusher. Idk much about either guy but Linares seems to have beaten better competition

My money is 100% on Bocao. He's a monster, he's got a super slick ground game with good striking. He also beat a very experienced guy in his last fight, I think Ashiek is gonna get beat everywhere and get finished

Jenkins seems to be the more technical fighter but Linares has got that dawg in him, that's why i'm going Freddy for the upset

Jenkins is really solid everywhere. Huge leg kicker too.
