Who will win

Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 322nd

The more I watch tape on Sabatello and Stots the more worried I am about Stots winning.

Stots has good offensive wrestling but he can't hold people down. 

Then he can get taken down with chain wrestling and I do wonder about his cardio.

While Stots is definitely more well rounded and better on the feet this fight will definitely not stay on the feet. And if Sabatello gets you down you will stay down most of the round.

I think I am going to switch my pick

Changing my pick. My instincts are unbelievably good so I'm going with my initial pick. 

Dana White is almost as good as me, and he passed on Sabatello. I am doing the same. 

Stots by decision.

Also picking the Russian wrestler against the BJJ specialist. 

Magamedov decision

Cass Bell is a good underdog play. You can't trust a Skoggins

Any particular reason Lemminger is a huge dog on Tapology despite being a slight favorite over Lombardo? Is this another Killys Mota Jairo Pacheco situation? Cause if so can someone let me know- unlike with that fight I couldn't be bothered to do research on this one so idk if Lemminger is a good "tap dog" pick

Doesn’t really mean anything or matter but I just saw a little nugget that Denise Keilholtz was Andrew Tate’s kickboxing coach for many years. Doesn’t mean anything, but pretty interesting

oh **** it was her? I saw a video of a brown-ish woman kickboxing Andrew Tate once, that'd be a crazy coincidence if it happened to be Denise Kielholtz

I don't understand it. Almost every Bellator card everyone makes weight. A weight miss is an exception. 

But in the UFC there are multiple weight misses every card. Dunno why
