Predictions: 10 of 14 Winners, 2 Perfect, 595 Points   |   Tied for 783rd

Thompson vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, SUB, R4
I am a little apprehensive about putting out my picks this early because the bookies may see this and change the betting lines. But I will do it anyway because any more money at this point is just a bonus. Wonderboy is falling off. Father time is undefeated and Hollands grappling and reach will be too much

dos Anjos vs. Barberena
Rafael dos Anjos, DEC
Two different levels.

Nicolau vs. Schnell
Matheus Nicolau, TKO
Chinny Schnelly got lucky last time because he was fighting a buffoon. Nicolau is going to put him out

Tuivasa vs. Pavlovich
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R2
Tai has fought the much higher level of competition and done very well. Pavlova is a problem

Brunson vs. Hermansson
Jack Hermansson, DEC
Brunson is going to face resistance to his wrestling and will gas. On the feet Hermansson will kill him

Anders vs. Daukaus
Eryk Anders, DEC
The one fight I am not 100% sure of. Both are equally bad. But Daukaus has chin problems now in addition to his 99 others

Price vs. Rowe
Philip Rowe, SUB, R3
Rowe is too good on the ground and has a good chin. Price is an over achiever

Hill vs. Ducote
Angela Hill, DEC
Maybe another split decision loss to Hill, but she can win this if she shuts down the wrestling like she did with Loopy

Johnson vs. Diakiese
Michael Johnson, DEC
I think Johnson stops Markov Diakiesevs takedowns and wins a close striking battle

Elkins vs. Pearce
Jonathan Pearce, TKO, R3
This will be Elkins career ender

Cortez vs. Ribas
Tracy Cortez, DEC
Cortez is the real deal. And she will shut down Ribas everywhere. This should be domination

Levy vs. Valdéz
Natan Levy, DEC
2 bums fighting

Marshall vs. Rojo
Francis Marshall, DEC
Rojo is good, but Marshall is fire

Jauregui vs. Nunes
Yazmin Jauregui, TKO, R2
Massacre

You obviously don't actually watch much MMA. Looks like you just talk talk talk.

If you haven't seen the recent training Holland has done and the improvements with his wrestling and heard of the people he is training with that's because you are just a casual. 

So maybe **** and don't talk so much rubbish. Don't know *** has gotten into you lately. You are acting like a real donkey

Favorite Fight on UFC Orlando?

Predictions: 10 of 14 Winners, 2 Perfect, 645 Points   |   Tied for 383rd

Who does everyone like the most for UFC Orlando? I think Sergei Pavlovich could put himself in prime position for a Heavyweight title shot with an impressive win over Tuivasa.

Levy vs. Valdéz
Natan Levy, SUB, R2
If Levy weathers the storm in the first 3 minutes, he's fine. Valdez will come after him like a mad man and could eventually finish Natan, but I'm predicting Levy to use the wrestling just like he did in the fight against Breeden, takes him to the ground and subs Genaro in the second.

Jauregui vs. Nunes
Yazmin Jauregui, TKO, R3
Man, this is gonna be a banger ! Both fighters are great on the feet. Jauregui will probably be the more technical of the two, while Istela will have the advantage in the power department. The key to breakdown this fight is to know who has the better gas tank, which is Jauregui. Istela starts to decline after the first half of the fight, so I predict a TKO from Jauregui in the 3rd round. This could go to a decision as well, to be honest. If you want to bet on this fight, take Jauregui ML or Jauregui 3rd or decision (more risky).

The two bets I'll do for the Pavlovich x Tuivasa are gonna be under 2.5 and ITD. Maybe, I'll take a shot on the under 1.5, cause both of them love to stand and bang.

Cortez vs. Ribas
Tracy Cortez, DEC
Amanda will be the better fighter on the feet and will have the submission threat on her side, but Tracy is the better wrestler and I trust her to defend the subs. By the way, do you guys remember someone who had tested Amanda's defensive wrestling? The only fighter I remember who did that was Dern, but we know she's a better grappler than a wrestler.

Thompson vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, SUB, R2
Hollands arms are the same length as Thompsons legs. Both are real life Heros. Holland for takedowns. Superman punch?

dos Anjos vs. Barberena
Rafael dos Anjos, DEC
Easy Unanimous or late stoppage. If he dies he dies.

Tuivasa vs. Pavlovich
Sergei Pavlovich, TKO, R1
Those teepe kicks from Ganne. I thought we would see salad flying out. Tai is just as durable as Mark Hunt. Too much power to go the distance.

Brunson vs. Hermansson
Derrick Brunson, DEC
Hermannson smokes Alien crack. unreal cardio. Too elusive for the power hand unless Brunson gets you down. He's covered in grease.
Hermanson looses to wrestlers Vitori, Chamzat, Bobby Knuckles. Brunson looses to head kicks. Hermansons jiu-jitsu is top level. Brunson is my fan pick. Ends in 3 ways. Headkick, guillotine, or wrestling Decision.

Anders vs. Daukaus
Kyle Daukaus, DEC
Darce or ko. Anders should be strong enough to wrestle through r1. Slows down later. Could be a Daucus dec unless you ko. Bring back beast mode Dolidze.

One of the rare occasions I agree with Rah, Holland is miles ahead of Thompson in grappling and ground game. 

Don't let the Chimaev fight fool you.

Jauregui vs. Nunes

Predictions: 8 of 14 Winners, 2 Perfect, 475 Points   |   Tied for 2345th

Istela Nunes should not be that much of a underdog. She has some serious speed in the hands when she lets it go, usually when a opponent starts to pressure fast she counters fast while on the backfoot, with 5/10 counter shots landing cause she throws them fast. 3-4% tapology pick percentage for Istela Nunes to win is way off in my opinion. this fight could be way closer than expected. Im thinking either Jauregui or Nunes 27-28 DEC in a closer than expected striking fight. Thumbs up if agree and Thumbs down if you dont!

Respectfully disagree. A fighter who lost to Sam Hughes (who you can apparently beat by backing away from and circling around) has no business beating Jauregui. Stranger things have happened in MMA and in sports generally, but having watched Jauregui fight I believe she deserves to be a massive favorite in this matchup. No judges needed.

I understand your perspective, but correct me if im wrong Istela was edging out the striking against Hughes most of the fight and then she got a point taken away for eye pokes or something i think giving Sam Hughes the win in a super close DEC that without the point taken could have went to Istela. I remember betting on this fight. The fight before Sam Hughes she fought against  Ariane Carnelossi aka Ms.RoidRage in the first round she showed decent counter striking even while back peddling to the fence most of the fight while taking a few shots in the mix. I do see Istela fades a bit in the 3rd round and the volume decreases so i can see Juaregu capitalizing on that since shes more technical with her shots but less volume. I think close DEC it goes too the scorecards neither will finish each other.

I'd have to go back and watch since I'm not familiar with the exact circumstances of that fight. But I perceive there being a major skill gap between the two. And I can't say that A+ counterstriking is the way to beat Jauregui after watching the Iasmin Lucindo fight. Lucindo's right hook landed regularly when Jauregui would move forward, but she ate those shots like they were nothing even though you could here the power of those shots.

Regardless this should be a more exciting WMMA fight with a lot of back and forth striking. I dont think it goes to the mat maybe more than 1 time.

Yasmin vs nunes is one of my favorite fights on the card. Nunes actually has really good striking. Sucks it’s gonna be the first fight of the night tho, it should replace anders vs daukaus; that ****** ass fight
