Are Australian judges different from other judges in some way?

Not a chance Zhang in winning this one. Biggest name he has fought so far is Askar (who faked his record badly) who had record of 13 - 9 back then and he lost that fight also. All others he has fought are no-names with no-record basically.

Tyson Pedro by KO/TKO in 2nd round right after Mr. Mingyang gases out.

Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 600 Points   |   Tied for 87th

Pedro vs. Zhang
Tyson Pedro, TKO, R1
This fight isn’t getting enough credit imo. Pedro has faced 2 tomato cans by ufc standards but he’s still very talented. I think Mingyang is good but he isn’t quite ready for someone the caliber of Pedro

Jenkins vs. Shainis
Jack Jenkins, TKO, R2
Layup fight for Jenkins

Tafa vs. Porter
Justin Tafa, TKO, R1
This is more of a hope it happens type of pick. I think Porter is probably gonna grind out a sloppy decision but I hope Tafa comes away with a KO in front of his people

Pourquoi 57% de vote pour Tafa 5 victoire pour 3 défaites alors que Porter à plus de victoire et plus d'expérience. Je ne comprends pas vos choix.

I got Culibao too, I don’t think he’s a lock but he impressed me quite a bit in his last fight. I think he’s gonna win a 30-27 or tko

More like a 29-28 actually

Hell, Culibao will have this fight in a year - https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/bouts/705077-ufc-284-joshua-kuya-culibao-vs-melsik-the-gun-baghdasaryan/ Guys, a lot can change in a year, can't it? I wouldn't make a 1-year prediction, but that's just me.

Volkanovski won't win against Islam at 155lbs. If you're betting on this with money, reconsider your actions

Glad Yair stopped pouting and agreed to this fight. Josh could make this one interesting if he leans on his wrestling background.

He injured his hand yet again in the kattar fight. He’s gonna be out for a while so probably couldn’t take the fight

He be stupid not to wresle, Yair is the 2nd best striker in the division behind Volk, Max Holloway had to wresle Yair

I'd argue Yair is a better striker than even Volk himself. He's sure as hell more diverse and dynamic, and in terms of effectivity I'd say they're pretty damn close
