Predictions: 11 of 14 Winners, 2 Perfect, 630 Points | Tied for 3005th
Jon Jones, TKO
The GOAT is back and Gane's right hand is as broke as a joke. Jones gonna play with him like kids with toys. Like taking candy from a baby.
Shevchenko vs. Grasso
Alexa Grasso, SUB
LMAO "Bullet" is gonna take a bullet from Grasso. Valentina is overconfident and lost her last fight but got saved by the judges. Viva Grasso y Rodriguez.
Neal vs. Rakhmonov
Shavkat Rakhmonov, TKO
Neal doesn't even care as he showed on the scales. What a bum.
Gamrot vs. Turner
Jalin Turner, SUB
Gamrot wrestles himself to a loss as he shoots volume TDs and not quality.
Pickett vs. Nickal
Bo Nickal, TKO
Bo gonna get his easy W and act like he's a prodigy. It's Jamie Pickett but he should roll regardless. Enjoy the easy bums while you can champ.
Garbrandt vs. Jones
Cody Garbrandt, DEC
Trevin Jones likes to sit in the pocket and take hits to counter. Cody lives in the pocket so it'll be lights out for the half a star (The Longest Yard reference if y'all are up to date on your current events)
Brunson vs. Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO
Derek takes punches like my 90 year old grandmother and she's still up an at em.
Araujo vs. Ribas
Viviane Araujo, DEC
Ribas couldn't hit a stationary beach ball in the ring.
Marquez vs. Barriault
Marc-André Barriault, DEC
Julian looks like a lumberjack that found his way to the the octagon.
Machado Garry vs. Song
Ian Machado Garry, DEC
Ian dances his way to victory like a fairy in a grass field.
Martinez vs. Saaiman
Cameron Saaiman, TKO
Mana doesn't know whether to throw the fight or actually try with Krause no longer under or over training him. #dazedandconfused
Penne vs. Ricci
Tabatha Ricci, DEC
Jessica Absolute Penne lol. She needs to go work for food network.
Basharat vs. Blackshear
Farid Basharat, DEC
The other Mario brother gonna smash this so called monster.
Radzhabov vs. Ribovics
Esteban Ribovics, TKO
Loik likes to be flashy with TDs which is perfect because he gets a lil sleepy doing so.

Jon Jones, SUB, R3
Slow first round, Jones patient, teep kicks, Ciryl moves alot, and hand fights. 2nd round alot more action, Both sending kicks, Jones starting to showcase the mixture of strikes, high head kicks.. towards the last two mins of R2, Jones pressures and keeps Ciryl at bay, back to the cage, and unsure which side to cycle too. Round 3, Jones rushes to center, alot of feints and kicks, Ciryl throws a low kick and Jones grabs that kick and brings Ciryl down immediately. They scramble towards the cage. Ground and pound becomes brutal, Elbows, Elbows, Ciryl tries to defend and knee up to the cage. Jones finds that neck and cranks an insanely tight Guillotine, TAP!
Shevchenko vs. Grasso
Valentina Shevchenko, SUB, R3
Armbar finish, I think Valentina will mount, ground and pound, latch up and arm, and commit to it. Risking position but the sub is in, TAP.
Neal vs. Rakhmonov
Shavkat Rakhmonov, SUB, R1
I think Shavkat mounts him early, Geoff turns in a quality opening. Shavkat's too quick and he latches legs then arms in, RNC finish
Gamrot vs. Turner
Jalin Turner, DEC
Man! 29-28x3 Uni. I'm goin Jalin here. I think he has a super underrated explosivity, the snap power will frustrate Gamrot early, leading him to get inside, I think Jalin lands a couple knees and stays afloat on these exchanges. Hooks land. I think Jalin can win this.
Pickett vs. Nickal
Bo Nickal, SUB, R1
Arm Triangle Choke very very rapidly.
Garbrandt vs. Jones
Trevin Jones, TKO, R2
KO Knee counter on a takedown attempt, Cody falls flat.
Brunson vs. Du Plessis
Derek Brunson, DEC
29-28 Uni, for Brunson. I think damage will be on Dricus' side but the occasions of his output are very far and few. Derek really plays the clinch and takedown game here, and it becomes frustrating fight for both.
Araujo vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
30-27x2, 29-28 Uni for Ribas...I expect a more battle-ready Ribas, ready to go for a full 15. I think the pressure, and striking frustrate Viviane's range of strikes.
Marquez vs. Barriault
Julian Marquez, DEC
Leaning a choke, But I'll say grueling decision instead 29-28x3 Uni for Marquez.
Machado Garry vs. Song
Ian Machado Garry, TKO, R1
Late round head kick KO, Song cycles right into it. Highlight reel.
Martinez vs. Saaiman
Mana Martinez, DEC
29-28x3 Uni, I believe the experience will matter here. I expect Mana to counter well, and keep pressure on in the last 2 rounds.
Penne vs. Ricci
Tabatha Ricci, DEC
29-28x2, 30-27 Uni for Ricci.
Basharat vs. Blackshear
Farid Basharat, DEC
30-27x2, 30-26 Uni Dec for Bash...alot of stalemate grappling leads to a slow but dominant victory for Farid.
Radzhabov vs. Ribovics
Esteban Ribovics, TKO, R2
Counter Hook KO put Loik down cold.

This illustrates why I don't like playing the same prop that everyone and their grandma is on. Not saying I like Bo by decision either.

The only reason a lot of people are on Jones is because it's Jon Jones, any "normal" fighter would be a massive underdog in his spot. That's a good reason to be on Jones btw, because he's Jones, fair enough.
So I'd say it's the opposite. If he loses no surprise, if he wins then he cements his status as the GOAT of the sport.
