Not really, Parisian is next level terrible and Pogues while not being the most entertaining at least has some skills

I’m pretty confident in Pouges. All you need to beat parisian is to not be a total can

I like Anik and maybe not “blue chip prospect” but the way he’s describing Volk as a come outta nowhere take this absolute malarkey. He was national wrestling champ and pro rugby player lots of us were excited to see him in the UFC. I always thought he had champion potential and so did others at the time.

Blanchfield is a huge prospect and a future champ in my opinion. She could show that in this fight, but I think this is too early for her. Andrade still on another level.

Sadykhov vs. Elder
Nazim Sadykhov, DEC
I was impressed with sadykhov on dwcs, but after watching the rest of his fights I’m honestly not sure what to think. He comes from a great camp and has a well rounded skillset, but something just looks off. On the regionals, he seems pretty bad at controlling his opponents for long periods of time and he also would have them in bad positions and not finish the fight. He just seems a little green. Then on the other hand you have elder who is decent, but fought nobody. He showed he’s always in shape and very tough on dwcs. He’s your average wrestler turned striker from Sanford. He will definitely have a better showing coming down a weight class too. I’ll have to look into this more but leaning nazim
Ronderos vs. Carpenter
Clayton Carpenter, SUB, R2
Very excited for carpenters debut. He has a deep background in combat sports and was one of the hottest regional flyweights before winning on dwcs. He’s very atheltic and has skills everywhere the fight goes. Clean striking, good power, very solid wrestling, great bjj. I was impressed with the adjustments he made on dwcs to dig deep and win against a taller more dangerous opponent. Ronderos may have improved in his time off, but he’s still not really ufc level. He got pushed way too fast. He was only 4-0 when he got signed and his previous win was a robbery where he couldnt take down Shelton for 5 rounds. Ronderos doesn’t really have great striking, so that’s already an advantage for Clayton, and ronderos’s whole game plan is close the distance and try to submit you. I think Clayton is just better anywhere the fight goes
Länsberg vs. Bueno Silva
Mayra Bueno Silva, SUB, R1
I’m honestly surprised Lansberg is even still fighting. She’s beyond washed. The only thing she does anymore is land one elbow that drops her opponent and then does nothing else the rest of the fight. Almost 0 output, she’s slow, and if you grapple she does nothing. I actually think burno silva is quite good, but she does fight like an idiot. She marches forward and uses her strength to walk you down and lands bombs. I could see her getting clipped by a Lansberg elbow on the way in, but the pressure and power of her striking should make the difference. I also doubt Lansberg can match her intense pace for three rounds. She almost never offensively grapples, but if she chooses too, silva will win easily if she uses her bjj
St. Preux vs. Lins
Ovince St. Preux, DEC
I get the osp fade but I think this is one of those fights he wins. Lins physically looks like a new man but he doesn’t fight like it. Despite winning his last fight, I thought he looked so awful. He was tired as all hell and was getting rocked multiple times, but used his wrestling to win. His wrestling really isn’t that good but his opponent had no tdd. Osp on the other hand is washed af and might be the slowest fighter on the roster. He stands there doing nothing and just throws leg kicks and jabs. He does still have some powet but 0 killer instinct. I hope someone gets finished so this one doesn’t last long
Fletcher vs. Gorimbo
AJ Fletcher, TKO, R2
I think this is a great fight for aj to get his first ufc w. I have no clue why gorimbo was signed, he’s really bad. The only good quality he has is his length and that’s pretty much it. His striking is alright but he leaves himself open all the time and does not have a good chin. Almost every fight I see he’s getting rocked or dropped. Another thing I don’t like is his tdd. He can’t defend to save his life and will stay on his back all fight if he gets taken down. Aj’s biggest issue is the size disadvantage and lack of gas tank, besides that I think he’s better everywhere and will finish gorimbo inside the distance
Emmers vs. Askhabov
Khusein Askhabov, SUB, R2
I’m like 99% certain Askhabov is a fraud and I’m really tempted to fade him here but idk if I can bring myself to do it. Emmers is honestly pretty skilled but never fights and is coming off of a bad injury. He can do a little bit of everything but is best on the feet. Khusein seems to have skills everywhere; really solid and explosive wrestling, good striking, decent bjj. I hate how he will give up position to do a heel hook, as I think that’s pretty low level. Also don’t know what his gas tank looks like. This is just a big stay away fight. I doubt it even happens tbh

Honestly WFLW is the worst division that exists in the UFC. (HOT TAKE ALERT) It was supposed to help former Strawweighters who just could not hack it anymore in their division. Yet when FLW came into existence we had Liz Carmouche, Jessica Eye and Valentina Shevchenko (to name a few there were some more if im not mistaken) and guess what? Deflated BW in Val just became a champion there. This division is the biggest joke in MMA history. Why am I not taking women's featherweight into consideration? uhh? Is it even a division? Oh wait its just Amanda Nunes retirement waiting room and once Amanda retires the division is gonna be removed altogether unless they got in Kayla Harrison there (She is able to fight make weight for FTW, of that I am sure)

Andrade vs. Blanchfield
Erin Blanchfield, SUB, R3
This is honestly a way better main event, much more interesting too. I also feel like it’s (somehow) a better fight for Erin. Andrade is like the joe b or porier of the women’s division. Not good enough to be champ (yes Ik she was) but totally dominated everyone who isn’t the champ. She’s one of the strongest and scariest girls on the roster. She constantly fights everyone, hits like a bus, has never ending cardio, and can grapple well too. With Erin, I think she is the real deal, but man this is a step up. She has solid striking but I don’t think she will do much against Andrade. She should use her kicks more here since there’s a size disadvantage. Where it gets very interesting is the grappling. Andrade has great grappling but we have seen that she can be taken down and destiryed. Now, that’s easier said than done, but it shows a path to victory for Erin. If she can get the take down, this fight will probably be over quick. On the feet is Andrade all day tho. I have to look into this more but I’ll go with Erin for now
Pauga vs. Wright
Zac Pauga, TKO, R2
This is such a freak show fight. Happy pauga id getting another shot because I thought he was wrecking Usman before getting caught (and is also the wya better fighter). Even though he’s older, I think pauga has a great skillset. He’s a diverse striker with good output, and can also wrestle very well. He’s cardio is also great for a bigger guy, as he trains at team elevation. I have no idea what Jordan Wright is thinking going up a weight class, especially vs a guy who fought at 265. I do have some concerns about pauga’s chin, and wright does hit hard, but wright has no chin or defense to really speak of. I think pauga will just use his size advantage and wrestle wright to get a gnp ko
Knight vs. Prachnio
William Knight, TKO, R1
I am a big believer in fading William knight, but I can’t help but love him here. I think both these guys are ****, but prachnio is on another level of bad. He starts out hot, throwing lots of body kicks and using his movement well in round 1. This is the biggest worry for me because knight doesn’t have any defense, and those body shots could add up early on. However, just about the only think prachnio does well is be aggressive. He has a glass jaw, no cardio, and no defense. He’s just a glass cannon. I mean, knight has nothing but strength and physicality, but prachnio is just bad. He cannot take punches and just iverall can’t fight. Knight could take him down pretty easily too if he wants. At least this one should be sloppy and dumb lol
Parisian vs. Pogues
Jamal Pogues, DEC
Anyone with a pulse can beta Parisian. I think pogues is ****, but at least he’s shown to have some resemblance of skills. All Parisian is good for is taking an ass whooping. Pogues should have better striking and can mix in wrestling if he wants, which will destory parker. I really don’t like pogues at 265, he looks so slow and lazy but he should beat parisian ez
Miller vs. Hernandez
Alexander Hernandez, TKO, R1
I find this fight very interesting. Hernandez looks amazing for one round, then he fades out hard. In round one, he’s very fast and used his footwork well. He throws absolute bombs and also uses his wrestling and mixes in gnp when he can. However, once he leaves round one he just fails. His cardio is not good and he just starts to eat punches. Miller is on a nice win streak, but it is against lesser guys and you can see that the age is catching up with him. He’s still got veteran prowess, but he’s slower, the gas tank isn’t what it used to be, and he doesn’t take punches as well. I think it’s alex however he wants in round 1, and after that miller will do whatever he wants. If it goes to round 3 this could get really ugly as both will be tired. I hate picking the guy who has one round to win, but I honestly think he has a great chance esrly on. He will be much faster than miller

Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 475 Points | Tied for 915th
Andrade vs. Blanchfield
Erin Blanchfield, TKO, R3
My picks haven't been has hot as they used to. I can't seem to touch the 70% range again, so I'm gonna try to put aside some time for research here. This is a gargantuan step-up for Erin. However, she's a lot larger by frame and she's a distinguished prospect, I think. Not many other prospects are as calculated as her. I think she'll win the first few rounds in a lackluster manner, pressing Andrade up against the fence and stifling her with clinch work. Once it starts to wear on her, I think she can lay hold of Andrade's hips and drag her down to the ground. Once she's stuck in a crucifix, I don't see Jessica being able to power her way out from underneath. Also, Erin's angles of shooting are very challenging for somebody like Jessica to time her planted-feet hooks on. Should be a great test though.
Pauga vs. Wright
Zac Pauga, TKO, R1
Don't see Wright being able to do much before getting absolutely bludgeoned. Light heavy is not the place to be.
Miller vs. Hernandez
Alexander Hernandez, TKO, R1
Hernandez is just a very dangerous guy in the first round - he's explosive, he's somewhat unpredictable and he's able to find the target with progressively greater accuracy after the first few lands. If he can't put Miller away quickly, then it's not going to be pretty for him. But I do think he should be able to blast him away early with that straight left. Miller is wild with his hooks, and all looping punches in general.

What a gift for Blanchfield. This is a way more winnable fight than Santos was. Totally fine with them re-booking that fight after this one though.
Gonna be really interesting to see who gets the next title shot out of Blanchfield, Santos, and Fiorot.

UFC scraping the barrel again here. My god what an ugly card. Only the main event is exciting. I mean Zac Pauga vs Jordan Wright is the co-main, and the fight just before that is Knight vs Prachnio, let that sink in. Holy **** the UFC has reached new depths.

Andrade vs. Blanchfield
Jéssica Andrade, DEC
This is one of those cases where I’m gonna be rooting heavily for Blanchfield. I’m a huge fan of her and I can most definitely see her as a future champion, it’s just inevitable. But right now I think Andrade takes it, it won’t be dominant but she’s gonna be very hard to takedown and on the feet there’s only a couple women who can hang with her and Erin isn’t one of them I don’t think. I see it being 48-47 or 49-46
Pauga vs. Wright
Zac Pauga, TKO, R1
It’s a Jordan Wright fight, it’s gonna be a finish either way but I don’t see it happening any other way than the former heavyweight in Pauga absolutely smashing him
Knight vs. Prachnio
Marcin Prachnio, TKO, R3
Another close fight, I think if Knight wins it’s gonna be a 1st round KO. If Prachnio wins he’s gonna take him out late, I’ll go with the ladder
Parisian vs. Pogues
Jamal Pogues, DEC
Initially went with KO but decision will probably be the case. Parisian is so low level Alan Baudot almost knocked him out 4 separate times before gassing. Pogues should cruise
Miller vs. Hernandez
Jim Miller, TKO, R2
Honestly this one is so hard to call, but I feel like if I pick Hernandez he’s just gonna burn me like he burns is gas tank in the 1st round. In that 1st round he’s a top 10 caliber lightweight but after that he falls off a steep cliff. Old man Miller is still hanging on and I think he can get a comeback TKO
Ronderos vs. Carpenter
Clayton Carpenter, TKO, R2
Carpenter is more impressive than Ronderos everywhere, I think he’s gonna make a statement with the debut
Länsberg vs. Bueno Silva
Mayra Bueno Silva, DEC
This just seems like cruel matchmaking. Bueno Silva is actually pretty solid at 135
St. Preux vs. Lins
Ovince St. Preux, DEC
I’m not a believer in lins man. He’s just not very good. OSP hasn’t looked much better but I think he can eek out a decision
Fletcher vs. Gorimbo
AJ Fletcher, TKO, R1
Gorimbo is just not it. Fletcher is better than you would think he is, he’s got some great power, wrestling and heart when he needs it. The only thing he’s really lacking is cardio and striking defense. I don’t think Gorimbo will take advantage of either. 1st round KO
Emmers vs. Askhabov
Khusein Askhabov, DEC
Hard to say with this one, I’m not convinced with either guy really so I’m just gonna go with the guy with hype. That could very well backfire though as Emmers does have legit skills
Jéssica Andrade, DEC
This is one of those cases where I’m gonna be rooting heavily for Blanchfield. I’m a huge fan of her and I can most definitely see her as a future champion, it’s just inevitable. But right now I think Andrade takes it, it won’t be dominant but she’s gonna be very hard to takedown and on the feet there’s only a couple women who can hang with her and Erin isn’t one of them I don’t think. I see it being 48-47 or 49-46
Pauga vs. Wright
Zac Pauga, TKO, R1
It’s a Jordan Wright fight, it’s gonna be a finish either way but I don’t see it happening any other way than the former heavyweight in Pauga absolutely smashing him
Knight vs. Prachnio
Marcin Prachnio, TKO, R3
Another close fight, I think if Knight wins it’s gonna be a 1st round KO. If Prachnio wins he’s gonna take him out late, I’ll go with the ladder
