Procházka vs. Teixeira II
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R1
Teixeira is to old i think he should retire win loss or draw im rooting for him to retire as champ
Błachowicz vs. Ankalaev
Magomed Ankalaev, DEC
Magomed by a boring fight with him holding jan against the cage after losing in the striking exchanges
Ponzinibbio vs. Lawler
Santiago Ponzinibbio, TKO
Mismatch
Gustafsson vs. St. Preux
Alexander Gustafsson, TKO, R2
I think Guss will out strike OSP easily and i think Guss wil fight in sweden one more time and then retire
Pimblett vs. Gordon
Paddy Pimblett, SUB, R2
I think its gonna be a war back and forth and then pibmlet lands a big shot and drops Gordon then submits him
Shahbazyan vs. Lungiambula
Edmen Shahbazyan, TKO
Edmen by head kick
Quarantillo vs. Hernandez
Billy Quarantillo, DEC
new weight class for hernandez im not assuming he looks good at 145
Till vs. Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis, SUB, R3
i think it will be a close fight where dricus will be looking for the ko but till will keep range and start to beat him up but then the real nigerian nightmare dricus will knock him down and sub him rear naked
Rozenstruik vs. Daukaus
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R2
I think these 2 will trade strikes back and forth and big boy will drop a big shot
Curtis vs. Buckley
Joaquin Buckley, DEC
I think Mansa just out strikes him
Mitchell vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, DEC
I think Ilia defends all the takedowns and out strikes Bryce i call a weird spilt decision

i'm rather confendent they going to put Topuria vs Mitchell on the main card instead of OSP vs Gustafson, Not as sure for Lawler vs Ponzi though, I'm 50-50 on that fight and Till vs Dricus being on the main card as the 4th bout
I'm expecting UFC 281 they annouce the fight order, But now who know honestly, It's just a guessing game

Lawler hasn’t been on the prelims since like his ufc debut. Highly doubt he’s not on the main card here. Especially since this is probably his last ufc fight

Procházka vs. Teixeira II
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R2
Glover almost won last time but he's a year older now. Doesn't spell success to me.
Błachowicz vs. Ankalaev
Magomed Ankalaev, DEC
Jan got lucky that Rakic blew his knee out. Love the guy but this is Ankalaev's to lose.
Till vs. Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R1
The Darren TIll experiment is about to come to an end.
Pimblett vs. Gordon
Jared Gordon, DEC
Keep in mind that Gordon is really good at neutralizing strong bottom players. Also you won't spark him instantly if you're not Charles Oliveira. This is a trap fight for Paddy and don't be shocked if he loses.
Mitchell vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, TKO, R2
What an incredible fight. Ilia is on his way to the top, though. Bryce is good but he's not champion good. Topuria's ceiling is there.
Ponzinibbio vs. Lawler
Santiago Ponzinibbio, TKO, R2
Why are we acting like these two are anywhere near the same level of shot?
Shahbazyan vs. Lungiambula
Edmen Shahbazyan, TKO, R3
How far the mighty have fallen. Hopefully Tarverdyan didn't ruin Edmen because a camp switch sounds like exactly what he needs to discover his great potential.
Quarantillo vs. Hernandez
Billy Quarantillo, DEC
Hernandez moving down inn weight does not sound like a very good idea.
Silva vs. Brown
Erik Silva, SUB, R2
It's the RNC regent's time to shine. At nearly 36, they're gonna have to be fast with him.
Rozenstruik vs. Daukaus
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R1
Bigi is bad but Daukaus is worse. Please have this end in a knockout.
Curtis vs. Buckley
Chris Curtis, DEC
Curtis should be able to box Buckley up. His lack of cage cutting won't hurt him against Buckley.
da Silva vs. Salvador
Vinicius Salvador, TKO, R1
I'm a big fan of Salvador already and I expect him to win a lot more fans after he wins here.
Lawrence vs. Saaiman
Ronnie Lawrence, DEC
This is a really tough debut for such a promising kid in Saaiman. Unfortunate.
Gustafsson vs. St. Preux
Alexander Gustafsson, DEC
OSP went to a split decision with ancient Shogun don't tell me he's a guy who can feast on other old guys. Also OSP is older than Gus. No way Gus loses, right? RIGHT?!
Perrin vs. Rosas Jr.
Raul Rosas Jr., DEC
Excellent first test for Rosas. It's gonna be agitating how slow they have to build him but this is a great step.

In the round robin of undefeated featherweights, I always thought the match ups were like this:
Mitchell > Evloev
Topuria > Mitchell
Evloev > Topuria
It terms of fight style, fight IQ, athleticism.
My main concern for Bryce here is the body head combinations of Illia, the take down defense, and the physicality.

It's such a hard fight to pick because both guys are so good, their styles also make for something very interesting. If Ilia can get on the inside and land combinations on Bryce it's gonna be a problem, but if Bryce can keep things at distance and land takedowns and maybe wear down Ilia things could get murky for Topuria

Procházka vs. Teixeira II
Glover Teixeira, SUB, R4
Fascinating rematch. Jiri is a mad man, but let's not forget Teixeira was winning the fight before succombing to this absurd last minute submission...
Błachowicz vs. Ankalaev
Jan Błachowicz, TKO, R2
I understand why Ankalaev is the favourite of course, and while the Anthony Smith win might be caused by an injury, wins over Volkan Oezdemir, Thiago Santos and Krylov are really impressive. But Blachowicz will be the better fighter he faces nonetheless, and maybe the more well rounded as well. His stand up is incredibly dangerous (underrated leg checks), great clinch, good TD defense, and his submission game is so surprising. I will not be surprised is Ankalaev wins this, but I think Blachowicz stops him with something brutal.
Mitchell vs. Topuria
Bryce Mitchell, DEC
Such a great fight.
Silva vs. Brown
Erik Silva, SUB, R2
This just reminded me that the other Brown vs the other Erick Silva was one of the best WW fights ever.
Curtis vs. Buckley
Joaquin Buckley, DEC
I was a fan of Curtis heading into the Hermansson fight, but his ugly behaviour after that masterfull performance from Jack makes me root against him. Luckily, even in his loss to Imavov, Buckley continues to show maturity and improvements, si I think it will be back and forth, but I still favor Buckley here.
Gustafsson vs. St. Preux
Ovince St. Preux, TKO, R2
Gustafsson should stop fighting, he almost reached the top with VERY close fights (arguably wins) against two legends in Jones and Cormier, plus a fantastic performance against Teixeira... He has nothing to be ashamed of. At this point, the road to contention seems very unlikely, and this fight might be sad to watch. Lets hope it's a Von Preux choke instead of a brutal KO.

If its anywhere near as good as the first fight I'll be satisfied... but somehow I think we're going to be getting a shorter, more definitive rematch
Till vs. Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R2
Du Plessis's a boi and I've loved him since the KSW days, that being said I'm skeptical this fight even happens at all... real prediction is him cracking Gastelum's chin when Kelvin jumps in on short notice
Rozenstruik vs. Daukaus

Procházka vs. Teixeira II
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R3
I see another war between these two, but Jiri will finish Glover with some gnp in the 3rd. I'll root for Glover though. Would be incredible to see him retiring as a champ.
Błachowicz vs. Ankalaev
Jan Błachowicz, TKO, R3
Call me crazy, but I see Jan beating Ankalaev by stuffing some takedowns and hurting him on the feet. I'm going with the underdog on this one.
Pimblett vs. Gordon
Paddy Pimblett, SUB, R2
Hype train to continue ! Gordon can make things difficult on the feet, but I can see Pimblett landing some good shots and finishing this fight on the ground.
Shahbazyan vs. Lungiambula
Edmen Shahbazyan, TKO, R2
Protect that chin at all costs, Edman ! Both have sus gas tank, but Edman is more well rounded and should win this one.
Till vs. Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R2
I doubt this fight will happen though. Till is really good on the feet and could finish Dricus, but I can't trust him after so much time away.
Rozenstruik vs. Daukaus
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R1
LFG Bigi ! Daukaus should go to lw division
Curtis vs. Buckley
Joaquin Buckley, TKO, R3
After that atrocious performance against Hermansson, I can't trust Curtis. Mansa will have the power advantage and he's making improvements. Even though he lost, I liked his performance against Imavov.
