Predictions: 7 of 14 Winners, 4 Perfect, 490 Points | Tied for 4755th
Jon Jones, DEC
This is such a tough fight because Jones has never faced anyone as technically refined as Gane. There will be things that Jones will try on Gane that won’t work on him and Gane will try things on Jones that won’t work on him. Gane won’t be able to wrestle as much because Jones has elite TD defense, but Jones will have trouble striking with Gane so it just goes down to who performs better in their specialties. I’ll take Jones by Split Decision.
Shevchenko vs. Grasso
Valentina Shevchenko, DEC
Grasso gets dogged for 5 rounds for an easy 50-45. Taila needs a rematch we don’t need this fight.
Gamrot vs. Turner
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
Should be a close fight.
Pickett vs. Nickal
Bo Nickal, SUB, R1
This is sad because I liked Pickett since DWCS.
Garbrandt vs. Jones
Cody Garbrandt, DEC
If Cody loses this one he’s gotta call it a career.
Brunson vs. Du Plessis
Derek Brunson, TKO, R2
I’m a Brunson guy. Always have been, always will be.
Machado Garry vs. Song
Ian Machado Garry, TKO, R1
Highlight reel knockout by Ian Garry.
Penne vs. Ricci
Jessica Penne, DEC
Penne gets another huge upset.

Hell of a card. The picks I’m most confident in are Nickal, Garry and Basharat. Let us hope for no last minute cancellations and hope it’s a good night of fights

I also think Dricus is going to move into title-contention by beating Derek here. He built his career primarily by working his GnP, so I reckon he'll be skilled enough to avoid any traps Brunson has set for him in that department.

Ciryl Gane, DEC
Picking with my heart here
Neal vs. Rakhmonov
Shavkat Rakhmonov, TKO, R1
I don't see Neal's strategic weight miss making much difference. Sub or ground and pount for the Nomad.
Gamrot vs. Turner
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
Really excited for this one!
Pickett vs. Nickal
Bo Nickal, SUB
Pickett isn't bad, I hope he holds his own. But I haven't seen anything that says Bo doesn't have this.
Garbrandt vs. Jones
Trevin Jones, TKO, R3
I kinda hope I'm wrong here
Brunson vs. Du Plessis
Derek Brunson, SUB, R3
Brunson by strongman-sub after Du Plessis gasses.
Machado Garry vs. Song
Ian Machado Garry, DEC
Song was KOd last time out, but it has been a while since then and Garry has been more patient lately. He could get the KO though.
Basharat vs. Blackshear
Farid Basharat, TKO, R3
Blackshear is a good athlete so I almost picked him over a debuting fighter, but we don't get bonus points for picking underdogs here.
