Rodriguez only beat Ortega due to injuries and lost againt Holloway right before
Is only big win was againts Jung in a fight he was dominated more then 24 minutes
Emmet is on a good win streak but come on, Ortega, Allen, Holloway and Jung probably all kick is ass

Alexander Volkanovski, TKO, R2
I think Makhachev is Volkanovski's MMA nightmare match up - excellent wrestler with relentless perssure and safe striking. But listen, guys, I don't give a **** I want to see Islam get knocked the **** out, I think Volkanovski will keep his range, feint and leg kick the **** out of Islam and then find a KO off of like a 4-5 punch combo due to being way faster.
Rodriguez vs. Emmett
Yair Rodriguez, TKO, R2
Unless Emmett lands that right hand he's going to get toyed with on the feet by Yair. He'll need every bit of that TAM mat time to put Yair on his back and pummell him. But I just don't see this fight ever going to the ground unless it's from a knockdown, I think both guys will try to prove a point on the feet and someone will go to sleep, I just think Yair has way more skills and tools to get that done. I think Emmett just has a variety of takedown feints into overhand rights or like a basic left hook right cross lol
Whittaker vs. Costa
Robert Whittaker, TKO, R2
I don't see where Costa wins this fight, I think Whittaker is the better version of him virtually everywhere.

Kleydson Rodrigues, TKO, R2
Why is Ross getting signed? He got KOed on DWCS and hasn't fought since then, and yeah it was an exciting fight but nothing about him screamed "UFC level" to me. Hell if they need an Australian flyweight why not sign Steve Erceg, he's beaten Ross

Jimmy Crute, TKO, R1
Crute had a bad L in his last timeout but Jamahal Hill wasnāt as revered as he is now. I think Jimmy has better skills everywhere than Alonzo, his point of concern should be the power of Alonzo which I think he will negate with grappling. I say ground n pound tko
Rodrigues vs. Ross
Kleydson Rodrigues, TKO, R1
Iām very high on Kleydson. I thought he won that fight vs Vergara as well. Heās better everywhere here and I think Ross will get KOd by Kleydson at some point. Heās too sharp on the feet for Ross. Still donāt know why he got signed to the UFC
