Pitbull vs. Borics
Patricio Pitbull, SUB, R3
Borics is going to struggle with Pitbull's short and stocky stature, and it'll allow him to eventually find the opening for the sub. Should be a great fight though.

McKee Jr. vs. Carlyle
AJ McKee Jr., TKO, R1
McKee is a phenomenal talent irrespective of his last fight. He should run through Carlyle.

Serious question guys. Why Mamedov over Browne and why Tokov over Wilson? 

Is it because AyyGianni picked Browne and Wilson?

Tokov over Wilson for me is mostly because Jay Jay has always had trouble with guys that wrestle him, best one he's beat is Claxton and Tywan, while talented, is very flawed in his approach. That and Wilson is once again fighting a guy who can match his size, keep in mind Rabadanov was much of the same (and was also the dog on tap) and he handled Wilson.

Mamedov over Browne is probably due to Islam's consistency, he's a very hard guy to beat because he doesn't take any chances and is boring as hell. I am going with Nick because he might be able to create enough opportunities to separate himself from Islam and do damage, but I wouldn't be shocked to see a stalemate.

Jesus Christ, I’ll never understand the disrespect Max got for that one performance where he came in on short notice and fought until he got his **** broken in for 10 minutes, arguably won the first. Then knew that he couldn’t get up for a third. He quit, but it wasn’t like a Herbert Burns quit, and now at 7-1 all the arm chair MMA gurus can do is think about that one time he wasn’t ready for the UFC on short notice.

No he gassed then quit. Can't argue with that. And it will happen again when he is in that same situation.  He is getting sorted out this fight

I’m not saying he’s gonna win, Hamel is a stud. And yeah he gassed and lost against Hubbard. But basing your world view of off the lowest point in an athletes career is gonna get you in trouble if you’re blind betting fights because a very talented fighter gassed on short notice one time.

There are a lot of reasons why Max might lose this fight. That he gassed against Hubbard is one of the stupidest to pick from though.
