Predictions: 11 of 14 Winners, 6 Perfect, 765 Points   |   Tied for 804th

Turner vs. Hooker
Jalin Turner, SUB, R1
Even if the Ref tries to stop it, Jalin will knock out and one arm Guillotine choke submit Dan before the ref can get there.

The loser of this should be cut regardless. Ths is a stupid garbage fight. Absolute trash and both guys suck. This is like the lowest reward, semi high risk matchup possible for Cody. Jones is a KO artist with a **** record that no one knows or cares about. Beating him won't do **** but he's a tougher matchup than old man Yahya. Tbh I think Cody loses this one and idc anymore, both guys need to be cut

If Cody wins then UFC won't cut him. They are trying very hard to put him back on track. Because don't you ******* dare to forget that Garbrandt is a good fighter with a massive Achilles Heel. And though fans want him to retire I honestly think UFC believes in him and they wanna raise his stock regardless of what fans think

I see Trevin getting the win, this most certainly is NOT a replacement fight where its an easier victory for the originally scheduled fighter... Cody isn't likely to be in that position at all for a while in anyones eyes of course don't get me wrong (in terms of ever being a lock or big time favorite lock), but yeah, definitely instantly am seeing Trevin knocking him out for some reason...without any hesitation.

Don't get me wrong, Cody is beyond far from where he once was and its unfortunate to see these falls from grace so to speak, but I'm not agreeing with anyone saying this fight does nothing for him if he wins...

A great card as a whole though, really shaping up nicely.

I say this Garbrant only lost to top fighter like Tj, Munhoz, Kai and Font and Trevin Jones is on a 3 fight losing streak, I think It pretty winable for Cody, But also I have no faith in Cody after losing pretty much ever fight he been in since 2017 and Trevin hits hard

Better matchup then I thought it would be, Might take Cody surprisingly , but I have a month to think about it

Ian Garry vs. Kenan Song? 
I think it's a Really good matchmaking, an excellent test for Garry considering Song was seen as a near Top 15 prospect before he was knocked out by Griffin.

Dricus is such an athlete I think he just athlete bully Brunson into retirement, but Brunson could be the "value" guy who I don't think wins because Brunson does has power in his hands and Dricus stand up technique is worst then Brunson, Would it suprise you if Brunson KO Dricus

P.s I love Dricus because he's kinda bad, But is such an athlete, it just works and I find it funny seeing him beat Till and Taveres

This is gonna be an odd fight to say the least, one has no chin and the other, well he just isn't active enough. I reckon Jones gets the K.O. though.

The thing is Dricus look better agaist Till then Brunson did because Dricus is just an insane athlete, Dricus will most likely win this one because Dricus is just an insane athelte and Brunson is getting old, And if it just 2 powerful guys with bad technique swinging, Youth should win

All, I say is that it also is 2 powerful guy with bad technique swinging so it can be volatile, Who knows, Brunson could catch him

Can Jones beat Gane? Man i sure want to see it. Being away from the cage for three years is such a long time. Gane has been the fighting consistently. We/ve seen Gane go all five numerous times. Jones carrying that extra weight. I can't wait to see this main event
