Patricio Pitbull, DEC
Ernst has a punchers chance in submission grappling terms maybe Pitbull messes up he takes his back, but Pitbull is maybe the best fighter not in the UFC
McKee Jr. vs. de Souza
AJ McKee Jr., DEC
Again a grappling punchers chance, but McKee has great fitness conditioning and is the new wave of MMA fighter... Well 27 now, but he is real good
Archuleta vs. Kim
Soo Chul Kim, DEC
I want to pick Kim cause I have been fan since years ago, but Juan has 2 wins over Patchy and Barzola, those are solid wins
Horiguchi vs. Ougikubo
Kyoji Horiguchi, DEC
2 of the best records in Japan MMA

Patricio Pitbull, TKO, R2
Picking against Koike again as I just don't think his striking defense is anywhere near where it needs to be. He will be significantly larger than Pitbull which may help him get it to the ground as he is more of a clinch-trip/guard pull kinda guy. deffo has a chance if it hits the ground obviously
McKee Jr. vs. de Souza
Roberto de Souza, SUB, R1
I think people are really underestimating Satoshi here, his low single leg is crazy and he can grab it anywhere. He also can submit guys anywhere

Soo Chul Kim, DEC
Soo Chul Kim looked so ******* good against Hiro, and I think Archuleta is really starting to slow down, maybe kim could even stop him late
Horiguchi vs. Ougikubo
Kyoji Horiguchi, DEC
Two of my fav Japanese fighters, also 2 guys who may start winding down and soon. Hiro looked incredible on NYE but so slow and ineffective in the Kim fight, Kyoji looked great in the Pettis fight, tiny but still alright in the Mix fight, and really disappointing in the Kintaro fight despite the victory. I just hope this is good

Patricio Pitbull, TKO, R1
As much as I love (the newly crowned) Kleber, Pitbull is way too savvy and way too big a hitter. I think Kleber's striking defense and chin wouldn't be able to hold up when pitted against one of Patricio's fastballs. But then again, his only loss in quite awhile was an opportunistic sub from a lanky grappler...
McKee Jr. vs. de Souza
Roberto de Souza, SUB, R2
Don't care who wins, just really want to see this hit the mat
Archuleta vs. Kim
Juan Archuleta, DEC
Battle between two well travelled veterans. While Kim played the spoiler in his last bout, I think Archuleta is gonna show his caliber of only losing to top tier guys. Another fight for Bellator
Horiguchi vs. Ougikubo
Kyoji Horiguchi, TKO, R2
Slow rebuild for the Guch following his unfortunate trip to the US last year. Hiro was in a weird spot after winning the 2021 GP, and now a loss to Soo Chul Kim eliminates him from the Rizin title picture. Think Kyoji takes the fight for Bellator

Kleber is a wild man but I think Pitbull will keep good distance and win a decision

Mckee wins this fight as long as he doesn't **** around on the ground with Roberto. He is deadly on the mat

Patricio Pitbull, DEC
Kleber is another guy with ridiculously high level bjj but pitbull is legitimately one of the best guys not in the ufc
McKee Jr. vs. de Souza
Roberto de Souza, SUB, R1
risky pick since mckee is the better mma fighter but I think de Souza has some of if not the best pure bjj in the sport. Hes just on a different level; if he gets your back or any limb the fight is quickly over. I could see Mckee getting a ko too tho but im biased so ill side with de Souza.
Archuleta vs. Kim
Juan Archuleta, DEC
Kim is pretty underrated but archuleta is on another level. I underestimated how good he actually is.
Horiguchi vs. Ougikubo
Kyoji Horiguchi, DEC
really baffles me the ufc decided to not keep either of these guys; they're so good. That being said kyoji should win this pretty easily
Takeda vs. Rabadanov
Gadzhi Rabadanov, DEC
really weird this was the 5th fight for bellator x rizin but this is a decent fight. Well idk, could actually be pretty boring.

ONE would have some fun matchups, KSW Ares tons of Russian leagues no idea who is considered world class anymore up there.
