I don't understand why Souwma is a dog? He mainly loses to wrestling and Saricam has not looked too good. He slows down a lot too

I honestly have no idea who is picking Mowri
All the cappers you say? They are insane.

Mowris only chance is to dominate on the top, good luck with that against Moldavski. And striking, not even close to being close. Moldavski KO on the cards here.

Mowri is a huge dog for a reason, and the betting line is also not moving for a reason

Hey guys I’m thinking of throwing some money on Yamauchi, is that a good idea? Just wanted to get some of y’all’s thoughts on it, I just feel like he’s very underrated and he just keeps winning. I looked at his record and he’s only lost to top tier opponents so far and has a few wins at WW already.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 555 Points | Tied for 349th

Gracie vs. Yamauchi
Goiti Yamauchi, TKO, R3
Goiti's got better technique on the feet, I'm picking him to outpoint Gracie and finish him against the cage, we'll see though, Gracie is a tough man and who knows if this even stays standing

Moldavsky vs. Mowry
Valentin Moldavsky, DEC
Going with the tapology underdog, I can definitely see myself regretting this but I think Moldavsky has good defensive wrestling and he got rocked by bader in the first minute but apart from that and the range of Mowry, I think he can win the striking. Mowry is a dangerous guy though, 50/50 typa fight, banger co-main too

Macfarlane vs. Ellen
Bruna Ellen, DEC
Was gonna pick Ilima, reluctantly too but after the weight miss and a 3lbs one too, I'm picking Ellen. I think she out does Macfarlane and wins a close decision

Sowma vs. Saricam
Gokhan Saricam, TKO, R1
I'm yet again picking Sowma to get TKO'ed, he's never officially been stopped apart from a retirement against Mowry in Titan FC but I think Saricam has good technique along with power whilst Franklin is mostly a powerful guy and Minakov was coming off of a long layoff which I'm guessing affected his rhythm. Who knows though Baby fedor survived to see a decision, maybe sowma will too

Vanderford vs. Jeffery
Austin Vanderford, DEC
Jeffery was so much bigger than him in the weigh ins lol, I honestly didn't expect that. I think vanderford out does him in a decision but Jeffery is a good dog to pick if you're looking for one.

Bennett vs. Kish II
DeAnna Bennett, DEC
Rematch of the century

Cauley vs. Jeffries
Sullivan Cauley, TKO, R2
Jeffries has dangerous submission abilities and Cauley will most likely take it to the ground but I expect Cauley to be able to escape the sub attempts quite easily and finish Jefferies by G&P

Downey vs. Nelson
Patrick Downey, SUB, R1
Lock IMO

Schoenfelder vs. Currier
Bailey Schoenfelder, TKO, R1
Currier the 🐐

Mowry definitely isn't a better wrestler. Lay and pray 30-27 Moldavsky

Lot of action coming in on Ellen. Don't like the fact McFarlane is already talking about taking time off after this fight. Can't trust betting on someone saying that after missing weight before a fight.
