Kinda surprised people are going with Lombardo so heavily. Gracie ain’t amazing but he’s not bad either, his Jiu Jitsu is still elite

Lombardo is at ATT though and he looks ripped/good fitness. He could get caught is he sloppy but most ATT guys will have good training/preparation under their belts

Another heart/head pick for sure.  Really want Emelianenko to go out with a bang, but...

He was gassing after a round and getting all his takedowns stuffed, that’s why he *****ed out of the first fights. So glad it’s been rebooked so now I can switch the prediction to Larkin by KO instead of decision

I don’t think he was gassed. He just realized Larkin had wayyyy better tdd than he was expecting and took the easy way out. Then he had some bs excuse in the back room saying he had a broken rib or something like that

Mowry did the same thing. He realized he underestimated his opponent and quit when he got fouled. Funny both are on the same card now

Predictions: 8 of 14 Winners, 3 Perfect, 515 Points   |   Tied for 383rd

Gracie vs. Lombardo
Neiman Gracie, SUB, R2
Gracie has never impressed me and been in very bad form recently, but he is losing to the top guys in his division. Lombardo has been looking good recently but beating absolute cans. I don’t think he’s ready for a step up like this, even if Gracie isn’t a world beater

Corrales vs. Magomedov
Akhmed Magomedov, SUB, R3
Magomedov is a very legit dagi, gonna be hard to find someone who can beat him outside of the top guys at 145. Corralles is also on the decline

Hokit vs. Ishiguro
Isaiah Hokit, TKO, R2
I was definitely wrong about hokit being a flop (how bad was his last opponent tho lol), but I’m still not 100% sold on him. That being said this is an easy fight

Caldwell vs. Mikhailov
Nikita Mikhailov, DEC
Mikhailov is definitely green but the talent is there. I like Caldwell but man has he fallen off of a cliff recently. He doesn’t do anything with top control and is gassing badly now.

Larkin vs. Berkhamov
Lorenz Larkin, TKO, R2
I don’t really know what to make of this rematch. Berkhamov couldn’t get Larkin down and then subsequently quit after a minor illegal blow. Berk claimed he had some injury in the back so who knows if he was compromised or if that was an excuse. If he’s not compromised then he could beat Larkin but I can’t back him after that last performance

Eblen vs. Tokov
Johnny Eblen, DEC
Tokov is not very active so I don’t have the best memory of how he fights, but I know he is very talented and can wrestle. However, eblen is a serious talent. Fight may be closer than tapology odds and real odds may reflect but I think he has all the tools to get this done

Mowry vs. Isaev
Ali Isaev, TKO, R3
I am actually a very big fan of mowry but it’s hard for me to back him after his last performance (against a very similar stylistic matchup too). However, we have no idea how Isaev is gonna look after 3 years off. If he shows up looking anything like he did in pfl, he will wreck mowry. I’m gonna pick Isaev here but I will wait to see how he looks on fight week before making a decisive pick
