Biggest Betting line for me is:
How fast will I fall asleep to another Adesanya main event?  Under 2.5 rounds is the smart money.

I seriously think its going to be a Romero level boring decision fight.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 11 of 14 Winners, 0 Perfect, 595 Points   |   469th Place

Adesanya vs. Pereira
Alex Pereira, TKO, R3
This fight will likely be a slow burn and very boring til its not. it'll be adesanya by dec, using great MMA intelligence, or pereira by TKO. No in between. Rolling w/ Pereira, 5RDs is a long time.

Esparza vs. Zhang
Weili Zhang, TKO
Just a division reset fight. Carla is way too long in the tooth. This will be a retirement fight for carla.

Poirier vs. Chandler
Dustin Poirier, DEC
This fight feels cursed, Dustin is a loss from retiring and this is his last run. All around dustin is 2x the fighter chandler is and should win as such. But it all depends on which chandler decides to show up. Chandler has potential to land that one deadly strike. But dustin is my man, have to roll with him.

Blanchfield vs. McCann
Erin Blanchfield
No meat on the bone here. Bet molly by tko prop for fun. Otherwise ovoid.

Never been the biggest Chandler fan, but for some reason I'm feeling like he beats Poirier here. Listening to him, he seems to know he will need to grapple and wrestle here to win, outside of clipping Poirier early, which is definitely possible. Think he's a good play at ever growing plus money

I don’t get why people get mad at other people  being ‘mean’ about fighter during breakdown of fights, not everything you say is positive, saying Spann having no fight IQ is not being mean, it’s being critical, when you breakdown fights you have to try and take fellings out of it

Also these people would most likely be mean to other fighter, they’re just like that fighter, people are hypocrites in that department

parlaying zhang/poirier/reyes here lads, EXTREMELY confident in all of those picks

zhang - no comment

poirier - chandler does have the takedowns which are very sneakily explosive but let's be honest here, he hasn't wrestled a single time in the ufc, his wrestling against oliveira and tony were coincidental and not part of a gameplan and he failed to control gaethje so what is he going to do to poirier who's a better wrestler than tony and charles and a better grappler than gaethje?

reyes - his 3 losses are against elite tier competition, he beat jon jones and was keeping his own against jiri until jiri eyepoked him and spinning elbow'd him into outer space. he's taken almost 2 years off now and is coming back rejuvenated training with glover's camp (truman, glover, pereira + boxing prospects are all part of that camp). and all this against ryan ******* spann of all people who was doing the chicken dance against anthony pillow fists smith

@baremaras the chances of Reyes getting starched in the first are much too high to be putting him in a parlay

Reyes has been KO'd, brutally, in his last 2 outings. Spann has numerous first round finishes. Doesn't seem farfetched to me. Maybe a club and sub is more likely but the result is the same if you're betting on Reyes.

Maybe... I'm not completely discrediting it, but I think Spann is nowhere near Dom's level. Look at the guys who KO'ed Reyes. Blachowicz and Prochazka, two of the hardest hitters in the division (both champions, either current or former)

Is Poirier a better wrestler than Tony & Charles? Poirier himself said his hip surgery makes it hard to even scramble.

Poirier is most certainly NOT a better wrestler than Oliveira. That's stupid to even say. He literally got dominated on the ground by Olives

I think Reyes will win, Reyes losing to champions and arguably beat the GOAT while Spann is beating mediocre fighter that everyones beats nowadays  like Cutelaba, Circonov, Alvey and Clark, not super confendent because Reyes is still on a 3 fight losing streak, but it’s a respectable 3 fight losing streak. He lost to champion 

Reyes seem like a solid top 7ish guy, while I think Spann is a bit lower
