But I definitely would not pick Scheffel against anyone at this point.
And also I would pick Delija because of the wrestling (if his low IQ ass actually goes for it) because I think Ferreira has been found out a bit, and if he lands on his back he is pretty much going to stay there. That said I have never ever really been convinced about Delijas chin.
What do you guys think?

Against CG he showed punch and tonight he managed to knock out Gracie. Yamauchi is undoubtedly dangerous on the ground, but if he continues to exploit his striking background he could be a similar threat to his opponent as DoBronx in striking.

I mean think about it, you are representing the best known grappling family in the world on a world wide broadcast against another grappler who could potentially be better than you and could submit you in front of the whole world.
I cannot imagine what kind of pressure that would be like. I am sure he prefered to get KOd than submitted.

Thank you guys for your opinions. Yes Pfl is risky,Rusty. I already put couple bets,couple small ones. Last time I got really lucky was UFC when Leech won by Ko. I still hope maybe this UFC event brings something to be excited about.

Call me a weirdo,but I chose Ontiveros,Witt,Clark,Cachoeira,Nam.
08.12.2022 | 11:48 PM ET
Predictions: 6 of 9 Winners, 1 Perfect, 340 Points | Tied for 925th
1. Benitez ITD (Ontiveros is not UFC calibre)
2. Silva ITD
3. Cruz/Vera over 1.5 / 2.5
4. Onama
5. Zalal/Blackshear over 1.5
6. Yazmin Jaragui
7. Buday
Less confident but I am still playing them in my parlays
1. Nina Nunes
2. Nunes over 1.5
3. Azamat
4. Quinlan KO
5. Lipski
6. Lupita (not playing the decision here because I feel loopy could get a control position and TKO on the mat)
7. Clarke/Azamat over 1.5
As always be cautious when parlaying. I used to do 20 leg parlays which was great when 1 in a 100 hit. But now I just shorten all my parlays to 10 legs or less.

So all your dog picks could hit. I would not put much on Ontiveros, I really just can't see him beating Benitez.
But Clarke, Witt (especially being with James Krause) and Nam could all hit.
I would never have picked Cacheoira, but after all the drama with the weight issues and the fact that Lipski apparently recently had COVID makes me think that could also be a possibility.
I think Nina Nunes is the best dog on the card tbh. Followed by Cruz, Clarke, Nam and Blackshear

Ontiveros is not UFC caliber, I agree,but anything can happen. Of course I will leave this as a pick and not include in in any parlay. But I think Quinlan is not proved as well. Witt will go for takedown. Is he good to defend it? I am not certain about it. Anyhow we will see. I will make some crazy picks,but be cautious about what needs to be parlayed. Thank you very much again and have a good night!!

My comparison of Yamauchi with Oliveira was maybe a bit exaggerated, but Yamauchi, in addition to BJJ, also trained a lot of boxing, muay thai and wrestling in his young ages. I think just focusing on submissions has pretty much limited half of his tools. The change of weight category has helped him and in a category with several wrestlers / grapplers in high positions it is quite convenient for him to start using his striking, the timing and technique of the uppercut that disconnected Gracie was fabulous
