Ulberg vs. Negumereanu
Carlos Ulberg, TKO
Everytime i question ulberg he makes me looks so stupid. Think he is building confidence in his division. Should be him by tko.

I do not trust Frevola's chin or fight IQ at all but I really hope he ends Azaitar's career this week. Ottman deserves to be publicly humiliated just like his brother was 2 years ago.

I watched both the Adesanya/Pereira kickboxing fights and I'm 100% sure Adesanya wins this. 

Wouldn't be surprised if he ko's him even.

All jokes aside, Ottman had two lay-up fights in the UFC, Worthy has decent skills but has no chin at all. No surprise, they gave him another chinny brawler to make him look good here. Ottman getting wrestle****** to death would be the funniest thing to happen, I hope Frevola exposes this fraud.

That being said, Frevola probably just runs chin-first into a brawl

I also say this, McKinney arguably have the pound 4 pound heaviest hand in the UFC( I persannly think Francis is number 1), But my point being is that they're an argument there so they're less shame getting knockout in 7 seconds, McKinney also almost instant meme knockout Dober who has one of the best chins in UFC history, Quick finishes is what McKinney does, 

I still take Ottoman by knockout for my pick because he also hit hard, I just don't think he's McKinney, So it wouldn't suprise me if Frevola wins, I'm actully pretty torn on the fight

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 5 of 8 Winners, 0 Perfect, 250 Points   |   Tied for 4859th

Esparza vs. Zhang
Weili Zhang
Zhang - Round 3 TKO

Poirier vs. Chandler
Michael Chandler
Chandler TKO, I don’t think Dustin is ready for the explosiveness. Chandler coming with that right hand of God.

Edgar vs. Gutierrez
Frankie Edgar
Edgar Dec, It’s a retirement fight, I like Edgar’s style in this one.

Moicano vs. Riddell
Renato Moicano
Moicano - Dec/Sub. Riddell shoots for a takedown randomly and Moicano snags the neck

Reyes vs. Spann
Ryan Spann
Spann - KO/TKO. Reyes will be one of the saddest UFC stories

Blanchfield vs. McCann
Erin Blanchfield
Blanchfield - Dec/Sub. Better grappler/cardio. Meatball has been fed strikers..

Petroski vs. Turman
Andre Petroski
Petroski - TKO/Dec. Go watch Turman vs Alvey and come back.

Ulberg vs. Negumereanu
Nicolae Negumereanu
Negunereanu - TKO. Toss up fight of who’s cracking who but I like Nicolae in the trades more. Banger to start the card regardless.

Also another thing to note is that Ottman has been training with Khabib recently, so take that for what it’s worth. 

But I also got Ottman by brutal KO.

I cannot believe that I am agreeing with Mr PotatoHead L'Andrew... but Adesanya takes this. And fairly easily

Frevola ain't winning. Is he decent and undervalued because it seems he has a glass jaw? Yes, but Ottman is actually good, and Frevola would probably lose to Jalin Turner now

people need to remember how great a kickboxer Alex became after the two Izzy fights first double champ in glory history and entered the second Adesanya fight on short notice, injured as an alcoholic and was coming off a ko loss still and still beat him
