Philip Rowe, TKO, R3
Price gets hit a little too much & Rowe hits like a truck. I don't think Niko can go 15 minutes taking massive shots.

Stephen Thompson, DEC
I really like both fighters, but no one outworks or outsmarts Stephen. Raw talent isn’t enough for Kevin. I think Stephen kicks his legs into smithereens by the time the fight ends. One swing by Holland could change things of course, but I think Stephen is too hungry and probably game planned against that exact scenario, avoiding it at all costs.
dos Anjos vs. Barberena
Rafael dos Anjos, DEC
I do like Barbarena, but his resume is very mediocre if you dig into it. RDA is still hungry and wants to prove a point after a 5rd KO loss to Fizi. In that last fight, he still matched Fizi in strikes, and dominated control time with 6 mins. Bryan is a good striker, but I think RDA will manhandle him to a UD.
Nicolau vs. Schnell
Matheus Nicolau, TKO, R3
Both are just all over the place, but I like Nicolau's resume slightly more. This is as close of a fight ive had to pick in awhile. Perhaps oddsmakers know something I don’t, lets go with them or pass.
Tuivasa vs. Pavlovich
Tai Tuivasa, DEC
What a ******* banger. I actually don’t care for Tai, never was a D-rider of his like many... but his fight against Gane showed so much heart. Outside of Derek, none of his wins make ya say WOW! I think Tai wants to grow his brand so badly, and he can do that with a win over a potentially overrated fighter in Pavlovich
Hermansson vs. Dolidze
Jack Hermansson, DEC
Roman will need a KO to win here. Jack's resume is pretty solid, only losing to some of the best. Roman has a very suspect loss to Trevin Giles.. by decision too. I think Jack is too smart to let Roman win.
Anders vs. Daukaus
Eryk Anders, DEC
I honestly just don’t like Daukaus. So ill spare you with that before I go in here. This will be a grappling ****-fest coming down to control time. If it comes down to decision, I think Anders wins with strength/more control. However, if Anders makes a mistake... Daukaus will pounce and submit him. Im banking on Anders being more powerful than Kyle's used to, but this is not a smart bet.
Price vs. Rowe
Niko Price, TKO, R2
Another BIAS ALERT! Niko resides in my current city of Cape Coral, so Ive been a big fan of his tenacious spirit. That being said, Phil is as tough as they come and this pick looks stupid. It takes A LOT to knock out Niko, we know this. Phil thrives on KO power. Although it is very possible he clips Niko with the perfect shot...
Hill vs. Ducote
Emily Ducote, DEC
Don't trust a word I say here... but Angela got lucky her last fight. Ducote is making second UFC appearance after winning first by UD (to semi solid opponent). She has a lot of unknowns, but I think Angela should get ready for the booth full time. I could very well eat my words here given the vet experience.
Guida vs. Holtzman
Clay Guida, DEC
BIAS ALERT! Guida is my hometown boy, very active still where I grew up (Johnsburg IL). He's a real dog man, everybody knows it. This could go either way, but I believe Clay will leg kick his way to a boring decision and maybe ride off into the Floridian sunset.
Johnson vs. Diakiese
Michael Johnson, TKO, R2
DOG or PASS. This is such a tough one actually, because Diakese has looked solid.. but tough to place value when opponents were complete scrubs last 2 bouts. He loses every time he fights someone even half decent. I feel that Johnson may be hungry enough, and Diakese may be oozing with false confidence. Now, Mullarkey is def a middle of the road guy, but Johnson nearly beat him back in July. Careful here.
Elkins vs. Pearce
Jonathan Pearce, TKO, R2
Elkins is a goofy, inconsistent MFer - and should never be counted out. But he will need a fluke to beat a very solid fighter in Pearce. Perhaps a lucky guillotine is blessed upon him... But Pearce has proven that he’s worthy of handling Darren with ease. Last time Pierce was subbed was in 2016. Don’t think old man strength will be enough for this one.
Levy vs. Valdéz
Natan Levy, DEC
Levy's only L was to Rafa Garcia who is an animal. It was a close fight, but Levy lost by Control Time. This fight will be close. Valdez' resume just doesn't impress me at all. Both solid sub artists, but I believe it will go to controversial decision in favor of Levy. Gut feeling, dont bet money on my gut feelings.
Marshall vs. Rojo
Francis Marshall, SUB, R1
Marshall is making debut, and undef 6-0... but coming off dominating UD in DWCS. He beat someone who was prev undef winning by sub 100%. Rojo could get lucky, but was finished in his first 2 UFC bouts (solid fighters- Kyler and Jourdain). But even his pre-UFC record is meh. Rojo has been subbed 5x, think Marshall makes it #6
Jauregui vs. Nunes
Istela Nunes, TKO, R3
Never trust when I bet on the women. That being said, Nunes is a vicious striker who got barely beaten by control time. She dominated striking. Jauregui has zero subs to her name, control time is not strong suit. Also a very good striker, but less experience. Dog or pass.

Scintillating New Predictions
Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 400 Points | Tied for 3307th
I am obsessed with Francis Marshall at -165. He has a youthful sleeper slam. Marshall is gonna elevate the natural order.
Levy vs. Valdéz
I appoint Natan Levy at -200. He has a digital diet. Levy won't ravage the deed.
Guida vs. Holtzman
I have got Scott Holtzman at -170. He has a brash tai otoshi. Holtzman will likely wobble the canvas.
Elkins vs. Pearce
I embrace Jonathan Pearce at -500. He has a fabulous head coach. Pearce could damage the cake.
Nicolau vs. Schnell
I select Matheus Nicolau at -380. He has a tasty double wrist lock. Nicolau shall mislead the Octagon. Acertar na mosca!
Jauregui vs. Nunes
I have a crush on Yazmin Jauregui at -330. She has a quick bolo punch and a qualified scissors sweep and also a xenophobic side kick to the throat. Jauregui is gonna drop the humiliating defeat. Beep boop!
Thompson vs. Holland
I like Kevin Holland at -170. He has a radioactive hammerlock and an amoral osoto gari and also a brackish ankle lock. Holland will likely negate the corner man. So say we all!
dos Anjos vs. Barberena
I have a crush on Rafael dos Anjos at -550. He has a uppity mountain bomb. dos Anjos might hamper the counteragent.
Tuivasa vs. Pavlovich
I take Sergei Pavlovich at -225. He has a weak armpit slam and an excellent head coach. Pavlovich can ruin the opposition.
Price vs. Rowe
I appoint Niko Price at -140. He has a talented stamina. Price won't operate the masterpiece.
Anders vs. Daukaus
I am enamored with Kyle Daukaus at -225. He has a vicious right hand. Daukaus must bully the production.
Johnson vs. Diakiese
I fancy Marc Diakiese at -330. He has an integral palm block and a quintessential counter left. Diakiese ought to modulate the production. Cash me outside!
Hermansson vs. Dolidze
I am taking Jack Hermansson at -190. He has a brilliant mounted elbow drop and a sincere facebuster. Hermansson could vaccinate the dark horse. So say we all!

Prediction Comments
Predictions: 6 of 14 Winners, 1 Perfect, 355 Points | Tied for 3642nd
Kevin Holland, TKO, R3
Originally felt like Kevin would want to get back into the winning column via throwing hands for a round or so and then taking this to the ground to get probably another d'arce or anaconda. However after watching them sit down and talk to each other I believe this will be very much like Buckley vs Holland however with minimal risk of Holland losing. (most confident pick H2H)
dos Anjos vs. Barberena
Rafael dos Anjos, SUB
Sorry to say but I don't think Barbs is going to fare well in this one, never really had one punch knockout power and that's what he needs to get this done. Dos Anjos tires him out and gets the RNC
Nicolau vs. Schnell
Matt Schnell, SUB, R2
Hoping my boi gets up, unlikely but probably one of the better chance dogs on this one
Tuivasa vs. Pavlovich
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R2
Tai gets punched, tai wobbles, Tai punches Sergei to sleep town. (patriotic as)
Hermansson vs. Dolidze
Jack Hermansson, DEC
Levels to this thing
Anders vs. Daukaus
Kyle Daukaus, TKO
Too much bulk, should be LHW
Price vs. Rowe
Philip Rowe, TKO, R2
Unsure
Hill vs. Ducote
Emily Ducote, DEC
I believe she is a lot fresher, not confident
Guida vs. Holtzman
Clay Guida, DEC
Guida to hopfully grind out another one
Johnson vs. Diakiese
Marc Diakiese, DEC
Patrick grinds out a decision via youthfullness and desire. (2nd most confident pick H2H)
Elkins vs. Pearce
Jonathan Pearce, SUB
Hoping Darren comes out there and does his thing but I think Jonathan is just a little too good for him imo
Levy vs. Valdéz
Genaro Valdéz, TKO, R1
Genaro looks like a pretty good dog here, similiar age, more power, good chin and a willingness to trade.
Marshall vs. Rojo
Francis Marshall, DEC
Marshall via decision 80% likeliness, hard to back someone without a fight in the ufc and marcelo keeps people honest.
Jauregui vs. Nunes
Yazmin Jauregui, DEC
Tempted to go Nunes just because of experience here and resume but nah
