Not only is Weili a lock, Weili by KO round 1 is a lock. The fact the straight play odds on Weili aren't 0.01 is insane to me.

Predictions: 6 of 14 Winners, 1 Perfect, 340 Points   |   Tied for 4270th

Esparza vs. Zhang
Weili Zhang, TKO, R1
I will come to her funeral and pay respects.

Poirier vs. Chandler
Michael Chandler, TKO, R2
Stand and bang. Chanlder here for a good time not a long time. Well his ass is getting timed.

Edgar vs. Gutierrez
Chris Gutierrez, TKO, R2
Frankie Edgars leg is going to retire

Hooker vs. Puelles
Dan Hooker, DEC
Puelles is a hype job. Hooker is going to smash him

Moicano vs. Riddell
Brad Riddell, TKO, R3
Riddell will smash him on the feet and avoid the grappling

Reyes vs. Spann
Dominick Reyes, TKO, R1
Spann is a Cann

Blanchfield vs. McCann
Molly McCann, DEC
Warning ... do not bet this fight. Blanchfield looked awful against JJ so I am taking a stab on the rising star. Molly.

Petroski vs. Turman
Andre Petroski, DEC
Both suck. Question is who sucks more. Wrestling bears BJJ most times so I am picking the better wrestler and hoping cardio holds

Azaitar vs. Frevola
Ottman Azaitar, TKO, R1
Potato Power 🥔

Kowalkiewicz vs. Juárez
Karolina Kowalkiewicz, SUB, R2
Both good on the feet, grappling huge edge goes to KK

Trizano vs. Choi
Seung Woo Choi, DEC
Choi you have failed me for the last time

Arce vs. Jackson
Julio Arce, DEC
I think Arce is better though smaller. If he avoids the takedown he can win

Ulberg vs. Negumereanu
Carlos Ulberg
Ulber is better lookong

I'd say zhang is the the best bet for a lock of the card I would say Dustin as well but I don't know if his hearts still in it after the Charles loss. he might get complacent after smacking up chandler and get out of nowhere koed

That's a weird comparison point. Carla fought Joanna in 2015 and Weili fought her this this year. A few things can change in 7 years.

I just don't think you should ever count out a UFC champion even if it Carla Esparza, Because beside Nicco Montino, Getting a UFC belt isn't easy, You have to beat contender after contender just to get the oppuntinty, Can anyone name a UFC champion who not an great fighter  reltive to they're division, Getting +400 on a UFC champion is nice

UFC champion wins as underdog all the time also, Even the Male Carla Esparza in Aljamain Sterling did it agaist Petr Yan who has the same cred as Zhang did

Imo Carla hasn’t really changed much in 7 years. Her striking has gotten a little better and her fight IQ has gotten a little higher but to me she’s nearly the same fighter. If I eat **** I’ll take it like a man but I’m pretty confident Zhang will make quick work of her

I just like Meatball, faith

Petroski vs. Turman

Love steamrolla, but.... Also Azaitar underdog

Kowalkiewicz vs. Juárez
Silvana Gómez Juárez, TKO, R1
Juarez

Trizano vs. Choi

I think that a lot of people are and have underestimated Chandy. 
I think his wrastling and ability to throw accurate bombs whilst covering huge amounts of space will fluster Diamond. Diamond needs face to face POcket time to use his great boxing. My Money is on Chandler

I say this, I hope Carla just get demolish and retires, Carla is so boring to watch, She the most boring fighter on this card by far, Her 2nd Rose fight isn't a anomaly in entertainment value for Carla, Now I know how people fell about Aljamain Sterling, Carla triggers me the same way especially when she hold the belt

The problem with the Carla/Wei Li fight is not can Carla get her down. It's can Wei Li get up. I am sure she can. And therefore she will win. She is too smart to lay on her back and play ******** jiu-jitsu
