@mezzor thanks. good advice. 
Tughkov had actually tough opponents and he is set to fight Elves Brener Oliveria and not Elves Oliveria. 
And he did won against Andrage and Brenner lost against Santos(who isnt bad but) but also lost against Sergei Andrew. 

I don't think he avoided that fight and Lucas Almeida also would be a free win for him

@andresmontana I like to watch amateur-fights. So I rather watch amateurs like Cameron Smotherman how seem to become good prospects then guys like Strickland. My favorite fight in pro mma was Perreira.

Makhachev vs. Volkanovski
Islam Makhachev, DEC
Islam is simply bigger and a more talented grappler. I believe Islam will be able to get past volks striking.

Rodriguez vs. Emmett
Josh Emmett, DEC
emmetts power is far too much to let yair style on him

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 515 Points   |   Tied for 819th

And I quote

"Tukhugov is very pathetic. 5 fights 15 pullouts. Pullout reasons : drug test failure, injury, weight cut, injury, weight cut, another drug test failure, another weight cut. I cant never bet or trust a guy like that."

- Mouth of the Modern Prophet Mezzor 

Literally the easiest fight on the card to pick, already at minus 600 odds with massive line movement on an already steamed line. An excellent and talented Dagestani with extensive UFC experience, trained by Khabib on a "Home" card showcase headlined by his freind, no other than the lightweight champion... against an absolute can who has no business being in the UFC who they are flying in 19 hours to a different timezone to give Zubaira a free KO victory in R1.

And who does Mezzor go for? The other side!

🤡🤦🤡😅😂🤣😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤦

I agree with Islam that the UFC/Dana dropped the ball on the promotion of this card. This is supposed to be a major main event in both the context of UFC and MMA history, yet I barely feel any hype, only the fans of the fighters seem excited about it. What a weird atmosphere for such a big fight, hopefully it changes by the time we get to Saturday lol

Lock of the card 🔐

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 515 Points   |   Tied for 819th

Attention! This is a public service announcement!

Zubaira Tukhugov inside the distance is plus money.

I have just laid an unreasonable amount on that. And I almost never make single bets. And this will be in almost all my parlays. Free money!

Help yourselves! You're welcome

Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 0 Perfect, 360 Points   |   3822nd Place

Brown vs. Maddalena
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R1
Jack seems to be the future, I'm all aboard this hype train.

Crute vs. Menifield
Jimmy Crute, SUB, R2
Alozno is gaining a lot of momentum and he's getting better, but I still think Crute is the more consistent and well rounded fighter. I think the only thing Crute will have to worry about is power, because I think the only way he loses is by (T)KO, otherwise I think he should be able to out grapple and submit Alonzo.

Pedro vs. Bukauskas
Tyson Pedro, TKO, R2
I think someone's getting KO'd here, should be a fun stand up fight

Mullarkey vs. Prado
Jamie Mullarkey, TKO, R1
feels like a mismatch...

And  it's 6 pullout in his last 5 fights  so you don't have to lie and say it 15, And one of them is Joel Alverez being injured so effectively is 1 fight for 1 pullout,

Also fun fact Tukhagov lost 3+ years of his career because he got caught on steroids, Then got banned after attacking Conor after Conor vs Khabib, That was the reason for 2 of his pullouts,  I think that more bad then getting injured IMO, Cheating and assault is worst then injury which is part of the game

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 390 Points   |   Tied for 3327th

Makhachev vs. Volkanovski
Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
**** it, Volk boys we ride

Rodriguez vs. Emmett
Yair Rodriguez, DEC
Very intriguing fight that shouldn't be for the belt. Yair I think is too long and wild for Emmett to really find his offense

Brown vs. Maddalena
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R1
Jack's the future, Randy's just in the way

Tafa vs. Porter
Parker Porter, DEC
Tafa is somehow still in the UFC but won't be for long

Crute vs. Menifield
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R1
I think Crute is done

Pedro vs. Bukauskas
Modestas Bukauskas, DEC
Pedro is getting hype for KOing the two worst guys on the roster? People forget Bukauskas isn't terrible

Culibao vs. Baghdasaryan
Melsik Baghdasaryan, DEC
If Melsik can defend the takedowns he has this in the bag

Rodrigues vs. Ross
Kleydson Rodrigues, DEC
Ross is alright but I think he is one of the worst 125ers the UFC has. Kleydson got robbed by Vergara

Mullarkey vs. Prado
Francisco Prado, DEC
I have never rated Mullarkey

Jenkins vs. Shainis
Jack Jenkins, TKO, R2
Shainis is not a 145er, he will lose because Jenkins is actually a top quality prospect

Lookboonmee vs. Reed
Loma Lookboonmee, DEC
Loma should crush her

Bilder vs. Young
Blake Bilder, SUB, R1
I actually like Bilder and think he was in the upper echelon is DWCS talent signed this season, very persistent and slick grappler. Also Young sucks

Tukhugov vs. Brenner
Zubaira Tukhugov, DEC
I don't think Zuba is any good but he should win this, especially if he remembers he can wrestle
