Wood
Herbert vs. Klein
Ľudovít Klein, DEC
Herbert fought way too conservative against Kyle Nelson last time out, I think he does the same again and it costs him the fight against a much better opponent in Klein.
Hardy vs. Miller
Juliana Miller, TKO, R2
I think Miller takes Hardy down pretty easily, and finishes her with some GnP.

Predictions: 8 of 15 Winners, 3 Perfect, 500 Points | Tied for 3150th
Leon Edwards, TKO, R2
I think the crowd will give Leon some hometown superpowers and this fight will end up being his magnum opus. He'll dominate the fight in the stand up and defend the takedown in round 1. I think it will be more of the same in round 2 before he catches Usman with a power shot and TKO's him against the fence.
Gaethje vs. Fiziev
Rafael Fiziev, TKO, R2
This will be an absolute war, I think Fiziev breaks Justin down and finishes him before round 3.
Nelson vs. Barberena
Gunnar Nelson, DEC
Nelson should control this fight from the start with his grappling ability, maybe even finding a sub, but I think it'll end up being a decision.
Maia vs. O'Neill
Casey O'Neill, DEC
King Casey is a future contender and I think she dominates the stand up for a decision win.
Vettori vs. Dolidze
Marvin Vettori, DEC
Dolidze was losing to Hermansson until he pulled out an insane scrambling position and finished the fight. I think Vettori will dominate in the striking and the grappling to win a decision.
Shore vs. Amirkhani
Jack Shore, DEC
Shore should dominate this fight everywhere, Amirkhani is way past his prime and it seems Shore may be approaching his.
Duncan vs. Morales
Chris Duncan, TKO, R2
I think Duncan looks pretty bad the entire fight until he finds a shot that puts out Morales' lights.
Patterson vs. Ashmoz
Sam Patterson, SUB, R2
I think this is too much too soon for Ashmoz and Patterson will end up finding the sub inside the distance.
Mokaev vs. Filho
Muhammad Mokaev, DEC
I think Filho is honestly pretty good, he'll lose for sure, but he'll surprise some people and survive to a decision.
Murphy vs. Santos
Gabriel Santos, TKO, R2
I think the inactivity will hurt Murphy in this matchup, and Santos will shock everyone with this short notice debut.
Duncan vs. Todorović
Christian Leroy Duncan, TKO, R1
Duncan is a stud and I think he'll put on a great performance here, ending with a 1st round KO.
Hadley vs. Gordon
Malcolm Gordon, DEC
I think Gordon is a pretty underrated flyweight. I also think Hadley is a pretty overrated flyweight, so I'll take Gordon with the upset.

Fizievs win streak is not that impressive to me and Gaethje has always fought the best of the best, mainly losing to grapplers.
The chances of Fiziev knocked Gaethje out are very slim in my opinion. I am 90% sure this is going to decision and I think Fiziev will win a close, even a split decision.

fiziev win streak not impressive? gaethje fought the best of the best? mainly losing to grapplers? ***???
bumthje came in to the ufc undefeated, 1st fight almost gets finished by journeyman johnson, then gets knocked out twice in a row LOL, then beats 3 bums in a row, vick, barboza and cerrone? FOUGHT THE BEST OF THE BEST? is this a joke? WHEN HE FOUGHT WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST, HE LOST 💀
his only impressive win is against tony and he almost got finished in that fight if tony had 5 more seconds
then beats bum chandler, a bum that came in to the ufc claiming to be the best LW in the world, after 2 fights, swtiched to IM THE MOST ENTERTAINING LW IN THE WORLD. bum chandler had him hurt and was finding sucess with body shots
against oliveira, a DISASTER.. bumthje almost gets ko'd in the first 10 seconds of the fight.. then gets knocked down by oliveira ***, not to talk about the easiest back take in the ufc history... that chin is gone, NO GASS, 0 technique, only throws a faint jab/uppercut/left hook and leg kicks from close range when hes getting clipped in the face, leg kicks wont work on fiziev, FIZIEV BODY KICKS ALL NIGHT. PLUS hes already talking about only having 2-3 more fights and then retires, he cant take that damage anymore. free win for fiziev
fiziev 1st round ko ... LOCK , FREE MONEY
thank me later bums
