Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 3 Perfect, 630 Points   |   Tied for 490th

Thompson vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, DEC
Great striking fight ! I guess Holland could take Wonderboy down, but I'm not sure if he'll do it. I would like to see Holland getting a sub here though;

dos Anjos vs. Barberena
Rafael dos Anjos, DEC
RDA will wrestle and get the W

Brunson vs. Hermansson
Jack Hermansson, SUB, R2
Jack winning a stand up fight against Curtis surprised me. I think Brunson will take Jack down, but eventually he'll gass and Jack will sub him.

Tuivasa vs. Pavlovich
Sergei Pavlovich, TKO, R1
Tai getting back after such a war against Gane doesn't seem to be a smart choice. I'll root for him, but Pavlovich will probably finish Tai right in the first.

Johnson vs. Diakiese
Marc Diakiese, DEC
If Diakiese fight smartly, he'll wrestle Johnson to get a decision win. He has the tools to give a hard time for Johnson on the feet, but why should he take the most difficult path ? We'll see.

Hill vs. Ducote
Emily Ducote, DEC
After seeing Lupita trying to win a striking battle against Hill and losing money, it's hard for me to pick against Hill. Staying away from betting on this fight.

Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R1
tai can bounce back here its a little soon after the war he was in but tai is starting to give me mark hunt vibes just a pure ******* savage sergei is going to come out hard as soon as the fight starts and i think tai has the more crisp striking and with those leg kicks i think he can put sergei down fast

I am picking Kevin Holland, but Stephen Thompson has a chance at a KO win if Holland decides to be a striker instead of a wrestler.

Yeah, Kevin Holland the wresler, hope he fights smart and try and do what he known to do, Wresle, I doubt he try to impress the fans,

Has Hermanson ever really beaten anyone really explosive, and espacally someone who can stop a takedown also, I think this could be a 1st round Ko for Brunson, people forgot Brunson drop Cannonor in the first

Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 4 Perfect, 655 Points   |   Tied for 345th

Cortez vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
Pretty close fight but I think

Marshall vs. Rojo
Francis Marshall, SUB, R3
I think marshall has a high ceiling but he is green. Rojo will bring it to him on the feet but has a serious gap in his grappling. He also gets finished all the time in the 3rd round

Levy vs. Valdéz
Natan Levy, TKO, R2
This is gonna play out exactly like levy’s last fight. It’s gonna be a brawl on the feet and he can have easy success with takedowns. Valdez is a wild man but he has half a round of cardio and isn’t really that talented

Johnson vs. Diakiese
Marc Diakiese, DEC
So annoying the ufc keeps giving Diakese guys he can easily wrestle. Praying to god MJ knocks his ass stiff

Guida vs. Holtzman
Clay Guida, DEC
Guida opened at a decently big underdog but I don’t really know why. He really hasn’t looked all that bad recently. Holtzman is old and on a big layoff

Hill vs. Ducote
Emily Ducote, DEC
I’m really high on ducote. That being said hill always makes fights way too close and often loses when she should win.

Elkins vs. Pearce
Jonathan Pearce, TKO, R2
I would give elkins a chance if this was 2-3 years ago but I think he’s gonna get mauled here. Pearce can match his pace and always is looking for a finish

Jauregui vs. Nunes
Yazmin Jauregui, TKO, R3
This is great matchmaking. Nunes is a good striker but she’s not the same off the steroids

Price vs. Rowe
Philip Rowe, TKO, R2
If price doesn’t wrestle I feel like rowe could ko him. Rowe honestly isn’t that great but his size and power is usually the equalizer

Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 4 Perfect, 655 Points   |   Tied for 345th

Thompson vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, DEC
Wonderboy is washed af but I could see him beat holland. Really don’t like that holland is so content to stand with him but I just have to believe he will win this

dos Anjos vs. Barberena
Rafael dos Anjos, SUB, R2
This is a freebie for RDA. He will get takedowns at ease and I’m pretty confident he subs barberena

Nicolau vs. Schnell
Matheus Nicolau, TKO, R2
Nicolau is a dark horse for the division. Schnell is a beast and has heart but he’s not winning this one

Anders vs. Daukaus
Kyle Daukaus, DEC
Why is this fight on the main card? It’s literally the worst fight on the card. Daukaus is having a hard time finding his footing but I don’t think he’s terrible. Anders is washed af and looked a career worst last fight so fading him

Brunson vs. Hermansson
Jack Hermansson, TKO, R2
Brunson should retire

Tuivasa vs. Pavlovich
Sergei Pavlovich, TKO, R1
There’s a lot of unknowns about pavlovich but he is a physical specimen and tai is returning quickly after taking an ass whooping. He is underrated tho so he definitely has a chance

Wonderboy's age worries me, but I really doubt Holland can beat him on the feet if he hold fend off father time for just a little bit longer. Dude might be one of the best pure strikers in MMA history. Who knows, maybe Holland is playing mind games and wants everyone, particularly his opponent, to think he's going to keep it standing.

Yeah I’m not really confident in that pick. Hollands wrestling isn’t good enough to get down wonderboy (unless he really can’t defend a takedown anymore) so he’s gonna have to win in the feet. I’ve always been a fan of hollands striking but wonderboy is, like you said, one of the best strikers to ever do mma so it would be crazy to see someone beat him on the feet; in fact, I don’t think he’s ever lost on the feet (besides the pettis fight but that was a comeback ko).

Thompson vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, SUB, R4
Great card. I'm going with the younger guy who has more ways to win & has a 6 inch reach advantage. I think Holland will struggle early but he'll be able to hurt wonderboy late and get a darce choke

dos Anjos vs. Barberena
Rafael dos Anjos, DEC
I think RDA is better everywhere. The only way Barberena wins is if he gets a finish

Nicolau vs. Schnell
Matheus Nicolau, TKO, R3
Schnell gets finished way too much for me to pick him. Nicolau is overrated imo but I think he'll get it done

Tuivasa vs. Pavlovich
Sergei Pavlovich, TKO, R1
Why the hell is Tai fighting so soon after taking alot of damage only 3 months ago? Did he ask for this fight? I know he's a grown man & can do what he wants but honestly shame on his management, coaches and ufc for allowing this. I'll be rooting for him but this is a terrible matchup

Brunson vs. Hermansson
Jack Hermansson, TKO, R69
Brunson wins 68 rounds but gasses in the 69th round and hermansson gets the finish 😈

Anders vs. Daukaus
Kyle Daukaus, DEC
I feel like this is gonna be a boring fight but I could be wrong. I think Daukaus will outgrapple anders to a split decision wib

Price vs. Rowe
Philip Rowe, TKO, R3
Not sure if the year off will help or hinder niko price. He was dealing with an injury so idk how much he's improved in his time off. Price didn't look that impressive against old man Alex Oliveria his last fight and I think Rowe is improving his game more than price.

Hill vs. Ducote
Emily Ducote, DEC
I think Hill will be landing with volume but Ducote will land the more damaging shots.

Guida vs. Holtzman
Scott Holtzman, DEC
I see Holtzman doing what he did in the jim Miller fight. Sprawl and brawl

Johnson vs. Diakiese
Marc Diakiese, DEC
Diakiese with another safe boring 30-27 snooze win. It seems impossible for Michael Johnson to be in a boring fight but Diakiese will take him down and hold him there

Elkins vs. Pearce
Jonathan Pearce, DEC
JSP is just a younger version of Elkins.

Cortez vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
I don't see Cortez being able to out grapple ribas and ribas is the better striker and won't have to worry about getting ko'd by Cortez

Levy vs. Valdéz
Natan Levy, SUB, R2
Valdez is too wild for me to pick him. I feel like he'll make a mistake and end up getting subbed

Marshall vs. Rojo
Francis Marshall, SUB, R3
Rojo has the experience but Marshall looked pretty good on dwcs. I think Marshall has the better cardio and will out pace Rojo who always loses in the 3rd round

Jauregui vs. Nunes
Yazmin Jauregui, DEC
Nunes has one round cardio. Yazmin seems like a legit prospect
