Rah, why are you so low on Shore? He lost to one of the absolute best fighters in the arguable most stacked division, and all of a sudden he's trash? How much money did you lose on him big man

Gaethje - Fiziev

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 480 Points   |   Tied for 3398th

I honestly believe Gaethje can win this fight with all technicality, but he’ll most likely fight with his hands down and throw slugs and that will cost him versus Fiziev

Guys Shore will likely beat Amirkhani, and that's because of his poor cardio. But against anyone with a better gas tank, decent takedown defence and good striking he will get pieced up. Trust me he is not that good.

You would never bet money on Jack Shore but you are calling these guys a lock  :  
1. Leroy Duncan
2. Vettori
3. Hadley
4. Gunner 
5. Probably Fiziev 

 ?????? 
Jack Shore is more of a lock than any of the guys from your list

I am calling them all locks.

Unless of course you are also picking any of them. 

In that case I will immediately change my pick. And lock the other side.

Someone said it several pages back and after really staring at it, I have to agree: this really is one of the worst posters I've ever seen for a UFC PPV.

Did a 10 year old make that in Microsoft Paint? Random black squiggly lines? Fighters records written horizontally and are almost impossible to notice let alone read?

Absolutely nobody outside of the UK looks at the poster and goes "Ahh, the London Eye. Very cool". They're looking at this poster and asking "why the **** is their a random ferris wheel in the middle?".
