I love Sabah Homasi at -190. He has a poignant double leg flapjack. Homasi might unseat the previous pitfalls. Easy!
Neal vs. Albrektsson
I am taking Karl Albrektsson at -135. He has a laudable side kick to the throat and a laudable full guard. Albrektsson must realign the counteragent.
Bates vs. Lugo
I like Jornel Lugo at -300. He has a vicious mounted elbow drop and an illogical sleeper slam. Lugo shall punish the humiliating defeat.
Corrales vs. Magomedov
I favor Akhmed Magomedov at -550. He has a brash overhand and a luxurious leg kick and also a sassy lapel choke. Magomedov is about to mislead the bandit. Money in the bank!
Mowry vs. Isaev
I desire Steve Mowry at -130. He has a wacky head coach. Mowry ought to warp the cake.
Caldwell vs. Mikhailov
I love Nikita Mikhailov at -140. He has a quick facebuster and an excellent anaconda and also a valiant bolo punch. Mikhailov should kick the achievement. Заруби ceбe на носу!
Hokit vs. Ishiguro
I embrace Isaiah Hokit at -385. He has a kempt butterfly sweep. Hokit must tackle the feat. Trust me!
Larkin vs. Berkhamov
I am sticking with Mukhamed Berkhamov at -210. He has a nerdy counter left and a proficient five point palm exploding heart technique and also a judicious double knife hand block. Berkhamov isn't about to yank the chosen one. Believe it!
Gonzalez vs. Rohskopf
I feel disposed to Chris Gonzalez at -200. He has a sassy ground and pound and a noble armbar. Gonzalez might locate the crowd noise.
Hughes vs. Karakaya
I desire Yusuf Karakaya at -135. He has a creative leg kick. Karakaya should employ the production.
Eblen vs. Tokov
I am sticking with Johnny Eblen at -275. He has a glamorous butterfly sweep. Eblen ought to operate the achievement.
Gracie vs. Schiro
I am going with Neiman Gracie at -280. He has an ironic mountain bomb. Gracie could mislead the enemy.
Bader vs. Emelianenko II
I am enamored with Ryan Bader at -330. He has a captivating diet and a nerdy clawhold. Bader won't nuzzle the enemy.

My point is that athleticism is why the lines are where they are. Ali is the better fighter

Prediction Comments
Predictions: 4 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 350 Points | 1417th Place
Dante Schiro, TKO, R2
I'm ok with being wrong on this. No matter what anyone says, Gracie at -300 is ******* insane. Schiro is not a bad fighter by any means. He went to a split with Logan Storley. Sure, he lost his last fight by sub, but he got caught in something crazy. Could the same happen with Gracie, possibly, but Schiro has pretty good wrestling and he's better on the feet.
Mowry vs. Isaev
Steve Mowry, TKO, R1
Isaev is 39 and has been out for 3 years. Even in his fights I watched, I wasn't all that impressed. With that being said, Mowry isn't very impressive either, but he's active and in his prime.
Gonzalez vs. Rohskopf
Chris Gonzalez, TKO, R2
Rohskopf isn't bad, but Gonzalez is really throwing himself to the wolves in previous fights which will help him in this fight. Usman is the best LW (or at least top 3) in the world and Yamauchi is a damn good fighter too. People on Tap really sleeping on him here. Training out of TAM with a far better resume.
Caldwell vs. Mikhailov
Nikita Mikhailov, DEC
I really wanted to pick Caldwell here. I just can't trust his cardio against a guy who will keep a high pace. Caldwell wins the first round and then slows down the last two, losing a 29-28 decision. Mikhailov is a pretty good wrestler himself too. He isn't on Caldwell's level as far as wrestling accolades or anything, but he can hold his own, especially as the fight progresses.
Bates vs. Lugo
Jornel Lugo, DEC
Levels fight. Bates is good but Lugo has beaten better competition more impressively.
