Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 365 Points   |   Tied for 3303rd

Burns vs. Masvidal
Gilbert Burns, DEC
dominates 30-27. burns could get chinned he doesnt have a great one and masvidal has the power to do it

Font vs. Yanez
Adrian Yanez, DEC
yanez is a killer and when he hurts someone he hunts them down until a finish and font chin has been failing him recently i wouldnt be surprised if yanez is the first to stop font with strikes but not this fight i think font chin will hold up for this fight but after this one i think its done. 30-27 for yanez with 3-4 kd throughout the whole fight.

Holland vs. Ponzinibbio
Kevin Holland, TKO, R1
holland has nasty power and ponz is too old and been through it all first round BAD KO i think ponz retires after

Seeing Chase Sherman still in the UFC with one of the worst records in the company’s history while also being on his THIRD run is genuinely one of the most inspiring things I’ve ever seen. It’s watching a two legged Pomeranian in an underground dog fight: You know it’s only going to end in tragedy, but AWWW LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS

Say what you want about Kevin Holland but this will be his 13th fight in exactly 3 years. Guy is a ******* tank who will fight anybody anytime; just can't seem to beat a ranked fighter. 

He's not a championship fighter but he's arguably good enough to be ranked somewhere 10-15 at WW. He has so much high level experience already at 30. I could definitely see him being ranked before the end of 2023 if he gets through Ponzi.

It’s gonna look like collier vs Barnett. Sherman will beat the living **** out of him for a round and then Barnett will win in the second once Sherman gets tired and quits

Sherman is a tin can lol. He’s arguably worse than Barnett. If he doesn’t get you out in a round he quits. There’s a reason he’s got double digit losses in the ufc and his only wins are bottom of the barrel cans

i know

hes laughable but i will never pick barnett against anyone in the ufc(well maybe hunsucker but you get the point)

i just think hes got very lucky in his career

atleast sherman has some leg kicks and elbows at times. 

barnett has nothing really

Fair points 

I just can’t reasonably back sherman. Every time he has a fight I instantly pick against him lol. It’s just especially after seeing the collier fight I really feel like Barnett has a chance. I could so easily see Sherman dropping him bad and emptying the tank trying to get a finish but not being able to secure it. If Barnett didn’t pull off the comeback I would say Sherman ez. But the sad truth is all it takes to beat sherman is heart and cardio, both of which barnett has. Also sherman and “fighting hard” lol
