Edwards vs. Usman III
Leon Edwards, TKO, R4
I don’t think Usman will be able to fight the same. I see Edwards dominating this time and eventually finding another head kick.

Gaethje vs. Fiziev
Rafael Fiziev, DEC
Fiziev by 29-28. This is gonna be an absolute war.

Vettori vs. Dolidze
Roman Dolidze, TKO, R2
Ground and Pound TKO late in the second round. Maybe third round.

Nelson vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, DEC
30-27 for D-Rod imo

Wood vs. Carolina
Joanne Wood, DEC
Wood wins by dominant decision in a pretty boring fight imo.

Hadley vs. Gordon
Jake Hadley, DEC
29-28 for Hadley imo. Gordon is so underrated.

Maia vs. O'Neill
Casey O'Neill, DEC
Dominant decision win for O’Neill imo. 30-27

Herbert vs. Klein
Jai Herbert, TKO, R1
Jai Herbert by 1st round TKO imo.

Murphy vs. Wood
Nathaniel Wood, DEC
29-28 for Nathaniel Wood imo. I see it being close but clear.

Macedo vs. Miller
Juliana Miller, SUB, R3
Miller by absolute domination from start to finish.

$5 says Spoozman pulls out and they make Leon fight Kazm short notice and he will miss weight too.

Muhammad Mokaev Vs. Contender Series winner Jafel Filho on this one but...
Is Mokaev gonna be 100% given that he just had shoulder surgery???? Seems too soon.

It’s way too soon for a shoulder dislocation. Enough force and the thing will just pop right back out and make the injury ever worse. Lucky he’s getting some random bum though. They gave him a layup to beat with 1 arm, it’ll be fun to watch if he can do it

There are 6 people from England/Great Britain on this card. Idk where tf you're getting these ******** numbers from, but it probably has to do with the fact that you're an ignorant racist and not very intelligent.

Lerone Murphy, Nathaniel Wood, Muhammad Mokaev, Jai Herbert, Jake Hadley, and Leon Edwards. That's 6 genius. And ain't no way you don't think Jake WHITE KONG Hadley is an Englishman 💀 so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're just stupid or blind (or maybe both)

Mokaev vs. Filho
Muhammad Mokaev, DEC
Not quite sure why they made this fight but it’s a pretty good one. Filho is solid and could cause problems for Mokaev on the feet. I also think his grappling is good enough to make it to a decision

I have the feeling it will be a usman UD.  A pretty boring fight.

Edwards vs. Usman III
Leon Edwards, TKO, R3
I was a late convert to Team Leon but I think he's got this one. Fighting much closer to see level and on home term should help Edwards out immensely. If he keeps it standing I have no doubt that he will finish Usman quicker than last time.

Nelson vs. Rodriguez
Gunnar Nelson, SUB, R3
D-Rod's fight with Magnum shoes that he has pretty bad grappling IQ. If Nelson can take him down and get him in a bad position a Nelson sub is likely. The stand up and recent active definitely favor D-Rod though.

Mokaev vs. Filho
Jafel Filho, DEC
I'm feeling risky with this one. Filho looked great on the Contender Series and I think Malcolm Gordon exposed Mokaev a little bit. Either guy could win this easily but I like the dog.
