Zuba is obviously the lock of the night but I don't know how I should play him.  Will he get the finish or will it go to decision?  His opponent hasn't been finished before.  How will this fight play out?  I haven't watched too much footage on Elves to get a feel with how he fights and the only fights I've seen of Zuba is where he stands and trades with other strikers in a point fighting match which probably isn't going to happen here because it seems Elves is a BJJ guy.

You shouldnt play if you are not confident in the method of the victory, thats it. Moneyline or nothing, with Islam is very easy to be confident in Islam by finish, but if you re no confident in Zuba, just moneyline him brother.

I only  know who Brenner is in UFC just cause is in the Oliveira Team, and that team are the daughters of the dagestani fighters, so for me is pretty easy to know that Brenner is gonna be the Zuba's  Brazilian ***** the saturday.

All I know is they aren't flying out on short notice a guy from the UK, who was already cut and looked terrified against Rountree before his leg got torn apart, with the intention of him beating the home town favourite and Sanko crush.

Also good to remember they seem to be handling Pedro with kid gloves and that Mick Maynard is Aussie.

Another factor is Pedros leg kicks and grappling. If his cardio holds I think this is a setup for him.

Makhachev vs. Volkanovski
Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
Wouldn’t bet the house on this one but I’m thinking volk will be able to get up after being taken down. If so he wins the fight. Would love to see Islam lose this one

Rodriguez vs. Emmett
Yair Rodriguez, DEC
With respect to Emmett this fight will probably play out on the feet. Yair has a bigger arsenal. If he can avoid the heavy hands of Josh Emmett I think Yair takes home some interim gold. UD

Brown vs. Maddalena
Randy Brown, TKO, R2
I feel like a lot of people are sleeping on Randy Brown in this fight. It’s gonna be a banger. We’ll see who is left standing. Somebody is getting knocked out

Crute vs. Menifield
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R2
Depends which Crute shows up. Rolling with the dog on this one

Pedro vs. Bukauskas
Tyson Pedro, TKO, R2
Tyson Pedro displays beautiful violence. Knockout inside 10 minutes

I don't why I can't shake the notion Josh Emmett is meant to fight Volk. Maybe it's because he's been a dog in two of his last three and was 50/50 in the other. He found a way to win all 3. It's almost like Emmett wont rest until he knows whos the balder and stronger man under 5'7 between him and Volk. 

But at the same time, I'm convinced Yair should not only beat Emmett but he has a great chance of getting a finish. Emmett has taken a crazy amount of damage in his last 3 fights.
