If Ribovics knocks out Radzhabov to open the card it means we're in for a wild night. That fight is literally better than half the fights that have been on the last two cards. 

I think Radzhabov is probably too big a step up for Ribovics but not sure. I've never really seen Ribovics tested because when he touches dudes they just crumble.

Araujo is the only "brave" pick on there I see. I got Ribas.

-Radzhabov/Ribovics
-Martinez/Saaiman
-Turner/Gamrot
-Bones/Gane

I'm still pondering these 4 and am leaning same as you on all but the main event. Leaning Jones but am gonna rewatch the entire Gane/Ngannou fight at some point today. 

-Radzhabov is probably too much too soon for Ribovics. 
-Saaiman is overall more skilled but Mana could make that a dog fight and a close decision.
-Gamrot definitely the better overall fighter but Turner's reach absolutely terrifies me for how much Gamrot will likely shoot. Turner's finishing ability is scary and shouldn't be questioned at this point.

It's a matter of time before Shevchenko gets the crucifix on Grasso IMO.
Cody is kill or be killed, especially now, and Trevin Jones will be hungry to finish a chin checked Cody quick.
Geoff Neal looked exhausted in the 3rd round with Neal Magny, and Shavkat is a methodical finisher. 

A lot of the others are very possible decisions.

Also @JR

Shavkat vs. Geoff Neal is not going three rounds, that's just not possible! 
Don't think Julian Marquez vs Barriult goes 3 rounds either

Rakhmonov is an assassin and Neal is a white guy in  the body of a black guy. Shavkat will destroy him

Not sure about every method you chose, but you could make a case for every one of those picks.  Tricky card.
