Valentina Shevchenko, DEC
Grssso is really good abd realky cute. But she is fighting a half man with long hair and kicks. Decision.
Neal vs. Rakhmonov
Shavkat Rakhmonov, DEC
Neal has good takedown defence so submission hard to get. But I think Shavkat has better striking and better at long distance striking. Decision or late finish.
Gamrot vs. Turner
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
Turner = terrible takedown defence. Problem will play jiu-jitsu on his back and Gamrot will grind him out. Reach means nothing on your back and sweeping is difficult when you cant get your legs under
Pickett vs. Nickal
Bo Nickal, TKO, R1
This will be a TKO not a submission imo
Garbrandt vs. Jones
Cody Garbrandt, DEC
Changed my mind. Cody will wrestle and Jones is too low volume. No chin wins
Brunson vs. Du Plessis
Derek Brunson, DEC
BumSon wins. DDP fraud like MezzBum
Araujo vs. Ribas
Viviane Araujo, TKO, R2
Female No Chin vs hard hitter
Marquez vs. Barriault
Marc-André Barriault, DEC
Pace pressure and volume vs Miley Reject.
Machado Garry vs. Song
Ian Machado Garry, DEC
Decision not KO.
Martinez vs. Saaiman
Cameron Saaiman, DEC
Saimon won't finish Mana who is good. But he will win
Penne vs. Ricci
Tabatha Ricci, TKO
Retire please
Basharat vs. Blackshear
Farid Basharat, DEC
Good fight. Possible late finish
Radzhabov vs. Ribovics
Loik Radzhabov, DEC
Loik is high level

Ribas | Decision: I feel like the time off after her last fight will give Ribas a chance to come back in better form but Araujo who is much older is gonna start to decline after her Grasso loss.
Marquez | Submission | Round 2: both pretty average fighters just feel like Marquez has that extra bit of danger that can get it done.
Machado Garry | KO/TKO | Round 2 My lock of the card is 100%, Ian Machido Garry, this is a step down in competition and I think he dispatches him really easily with a brutal tko and takes home a potn bonus.
Saaiman | Submission | Round 3: Martinez is anything special but Saaiman could be.
Ricci | Decision: if Ricci can't beat a 40-year-old Penne then there's no hope for her as a contender.
Basharat | Decision: Basharat bros are the future and Blackshear isn't amazing, to begin with.
Ribovics | KO/TKO | Round 2: Radzhabov is taking this on pretty short notice and Ribovics has a way cooler tapology pic so...

Arguing Gane has a speed advantage because he's been a heavyweight longer might make sense, but there's no "size" advantage here. They're literally the same size.

Valentina Shevchenko, TKO, R3
Grasso is solid, but I think Shevchenko is just a step ahead of her and I hope she wins so we get Blanchfield vs her.

Jon Jones, DEC
The much anticipated return on Jon Jones. It’s a unique matchup as Jon has looked very lack lustre his past two performances however it’s hard to be motivated to push the pace when you are fighting nobodies. This is a unique challenge and Jon seems very motivated, don’t expect him to fight again after obtaining the heavyweight belt. Gane is incredibly green, how he was outpaced by Francis is incredibly embarrassing.
Shevchenko vs. Grasso
Valentina Shevchenko, SUB, R4
Y’all must’ve forgot type performance against a low level opponent
Neal vs. Rakhmonov
Shavkat Rakhmonov, TKO, R2
This is the crowning of a new contender.
Pickett vs. Nickal
Bo Nickal, SUB, R1
Nickal makes it look easy, submission via neck crank in the first round.
Garbrandt vs. Jones
Cody Garbrandt, DEC
Cody being favourited here speaks to his veteran status, couple of rough last outings but Trevin Jones is not a top 10 calibre opponent.
Brunson vs. Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R1
DDP knocks Derek Brunson out
