Is Manon Fiorot injured because that the only thing that make sense why Alexa Grasso getting the title shot over her??? And if Fiorot isn't injured, Can anyone give me the reason Grasso is getting the shot over her????

Fiorot is injured yes. And also her last fight was horrible so she probably needs another one anyways

Jones vs. Gane
Jon Jones, TKO, R4
Never bet against Jones. I see Jones getting a late GNP finish. I think he'll outclass Gane from Round 2 and up. Only other option is Jones loses via leg break curse.

Shevchenko vs. Grasso
Valentina Shevchenko, DEC
Shevchenko should rematch Santos. There's only really two interesting fights for Shevchenko, other being maybe Blanchfield.

Pickett vs. Nickal
Bo Nickal, TKO, R1
Nickal via GNP First Round Smesh, and then an awful interview afterwards.

Neal vs. Rakhmonov
Shavkat Rakhmonov, DEC
Rakhmonov wins, but I think he'll struggle to get the finish. I think this fight will be reminiscence to Zabit vs Kattar, in that Shavkat will out class Neal for Round 1 and 2, but might lose the 3rd, which will open up questions for just how good is he.

Gamrot vs. Turner
Mateusz Gamrot, TKO, R3
No joke this fight could go anyway, with any possibility, both can get a KO or a Sub or a decision, depending on their gameplan. Gamrot must know something we don't because he seems eager for a turnaround against a stud like Turner. I think Gamrot goes balls to the wall, but finishes Turner late, as Turner won't be able to match the pace.

Penne vs. Ricci
Tabatha Ricci, DEC
Sure why not.

Basharat vs. Blackshear
Farid Basharat, SUB, R2
Basharat Brothers are legit.

Araujo vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, SUB, R3
Ribas back to sizeable winning ways.

Marquez vs. Barriault
Julian Marquez, TKO, R2
Mad one.

Brunson vs. Du Plessis
Derek Brunson, DEC
I love Dricus, but every fight he makes a mistake, If he makes one with Brunson, then he'll lose a round easily, makes two mistakes? he loses.

Kirk vs. Ribovics
Esteban Ribovics, TKO, R1
Gringo via fun one.

Martinez vs. Saaiman
Cameron Saaiman, DEC
I think Saaiman wins, but he'll struggle. I'm not massively impressed with him, but then again he's 22.

Machado Garry vs. Song
Ian Machado Garry, TKO, R2
Ian picks off Kenan to an easy win. Ian will go 4-0 at this point, stick him on UFC 288 with Bam Bam, and hey if he finishes Bam Bam or doesn't get hurt, he should aim for UFC 290-292 for the McGregor/Chandler card. he'd fit in perfect for a main card fight, for a ranked bout too, you could do him vs RDA, that would be fun, since the Mcgregor/RDA beef.

Garbrandt vs. Jones
Cody Garbrandt, DEC
I'm riding with Cody but I can see him losing this. He's the favourite but I don't think he'll get the KO. imo he struggles his way to a decision. he could get caught though. this really is a 50/50 razor close fight, which is sad considering the talent Cody is/was. I have to see Cody get one with like Pedro again or Cruz rematch.

Now that Im done hating on Gamrot I gotta praise him. Because him going short notice vs Turner instead of waiting for "better opportunity" is actually raising his stock. But if he loses we might not see him in Top10 again

Jones vs. Gane
Jon Jones
Jon Jones will clearly beat Ciryl Gane because Jon Jones is a legitimate cheater. All his athletic abilities were because of the pictograms. The question is, how many pictograms will it take for Jon Jones to win this fight? Jon has been using Pictograms his entire life. So, don't be surprised if Jon beats Gane because it's possible to hide pictograms. Jon was a cheater, Jon is a cheater, and he will have the label of cheater for the rest of his life, forget about becoming GOAT of MMA. Jon and TJ Dillashaw are the same.

Thats crazy disrespect to Song Kenan. Especially since Ian wasn't that big of a favorite against Gabe Green
