Bader vs. Emelianenko II
Fedor Emelianenko, TKO, R1
I understand this is a foolish pick and is highly unlikely but please knock him out Fedor. That would warm my soul

Eblen vs. Tokov
Johnny Eblen, DEC
Both guys are really skilled obviously. But I’m gonna go with the guy who 50-45d Gegard, old or not dominating Mousassi is incredibly impressive

Homasi vs. Ward
Sabah Homasi, TKO, R1
This is a fun fight if I’ve ever seen one

Mowry vs. Isaev
Ali Isaev, TKO, R2
Isaev is a beast when he’s in the cage. I hope he makes it happen here

Gonzalez vs. Rohskopf
Chris Gonzalez, DEC
Close fight here

Caldwell vs. Mikhailov
Nikita Mikhailov, DEC
Caldwell hasn’t looked good for a while

Bader vs. Emelianenko II
Ryan Bader, TKO, R1
As much as I really, really want Fedor to take this one, I simply can't see his chin not giving out sooner or later. Bader has rebounded a little too well from his nasty KO losses for me to picture Fedor chinning him,

Eblen vs. Tokov
Johnny Eblen, DEC
I think Eblen could be a force. It's very, very impressive what he was able to do to Mousasi.

Larkin vs. Berkhamov
Lorenz Larkin, DEC
I don't know what to make of the first fight. But if Berkhamov can't keep him down, I think Larkin will have a field day piecing him up standing.

Bader vs. Emelianenko II
Fedor Emelianenko, TKO, R1
Fedor says my hearth but he will lose most likely

Eblen vs. Tokov
Anatoly Tokov, TKO, R2
Only by KO kan Tokov win

Larkin vs. Berkhamov
Mukhamed Berkhamov, DEC
By dec

Corrales vs. Magomedov
Akhmed Magomedov, SUB, R1
This is a typical matchmaking to hype Magomedov up

Mowry vs. Isaev
Ali Isaev, TKO, R1
I Hope Isaev wins

Avsaragova vs. Lara
Diana Avsaragova, TKO, R2
Vicious KO win for Diana, same as Magomedov, Lara is a steppingstone
