Leon Edwards, TKO, R3
Usman has had his day, he will be too preoccupied with trying not to get headkicked and prime Leon Edwards at sea level will wear him down ending in a rd. 3 TKO. Here's hoping for Usmans sake its not as dangerous as last time
Gaethje vs. Fiziev
Rafael Fiziev, TKO, R3
Gaethje doesnt have the dog in him, the dog has Gaethje in him, however all the dog in the world wont delay the inevitable tactical striking masterclass from Fiziev. Unless Justin gets it done early I think Fiziev will gradually break his chin as the fight goes on, in a similar way to which Gaethje did to Tonyilar
Nelson vs. Barberena
Bryan Barberena, SUB, R3
Same as Gaethje vs Fiziev, Barberena has that Dog in him but Nelson is just too technical and I think he will wear him down.
Maia vs. O'Neill
Casey O'Neill, DEC
O'Neill by Exhaustion, either 30-27 or late round 3 finish
Vettori vs. Dolidze
Marvin Vettori, DEC
I like Dolidze, but I think Vettori has an ability to force a Decision against dangerous fighters rather than risking a finish.
Shore vs. Amirkhani
Jack Shore, DEC
I believe the cage grappling unanimous decision merchant will strike again, 30-27
Duncan vs. Morales
Chris Duncan, TKO, R1
Young Upstart lands clean KO on aging chin, makes statement. We've seen it before and I think were gonna see it again in this fight.
Patterson vs. Ashmoz
Sam Patterson, SUB, R2
Not 100% sure on this one so going with the home favourite
Mokaev vs. Filho
Muhammad Mokaev, SUB, R3
Mokaev Offensive wrestling grinds him down, similar submission to Gordon Fight in 3rd round.
Murphy vs. Santos
Lerone Murphy, DEC
Don't think Santos is good enough yet to beat Murphy, but I also think hes good enough to not get finished by him.
Duncan vs. Todorović
Christian Leroy Duncan, TKO, R1
Duncan by Rd 1 Execution. Only question for me is will it be a flying or a spinning shot which lands on a very breakable chin.
Hadley vs. Gordon
Jake Hadley, SUB, R2
Hadley to make a statement and move onto bigger and better things, look for a similar finish to his last fight against Candelario
Wood vs. Carolina
Luana Carolina, DEC
Carolina Decision Merchant against Aging Wood who is on a slide.
Herbert vs. Klein
Jai Herbert, TKO, R1
Might be a bit biased as i'm a huge Jai Herbert fan, I hope it ends this way and Jai saves his UFC Contract.
Hardy vs. Miller
Juliana Miller, SUB, R1
Dont know much about either so went with the Consensus.

Usman still seems in denial
Predictions: 10 of 15 Winners, 3 Perfect, 615 Points | Tied for 1257th
“Yeah, of course, it was a beautiful technique and you landed it, which I am a fan of. I’m like, ‘Damn, that was beautiful.’ Give him props for it.But you’re forgetting what happened. What did you display in those two fights that leads you to believe you are a better mixed martial arts than me?I am on my way out. I don’t want to get punched in the face forever. That is very, very true. I’m not trying to do this for another 10 years, absolutely not. In that sense, yeah, I am on my way out. But I’ll leave when I’m good, well, and ready. Until then, like The Wolf of Wall Street, you know what he said — I’m not going nowhere.”
------------------------------------
This man is in denial and is still saying Leon got lucky without using the word "luck".Give me Leon all day without the high altitude in his own back yard.
That's his entire argument: you got lucky. That isn't what happened. You got knocked the **** out because you finally met a guy that used your style against you and forced you to wrestle yourself to exhaustion, and that's why you got clipped. Colby showed everyone this guy is human and gave a basic blueprint on how to beat him. Leon took the blueprint and successfully built something with it.
These are facts, and Usman is out right denying them.

It woulda, shoulda, coulda gone to decision if Kamaru didn't get knocked the **** out. But guess what? He did.

Mokaev Vs Hadley, they both don't like each other and keep calling each other out so it's bound to happen
