Sherman has/had real wins think the theory was he used to juice or maybe just hit his ceiling lol..at the bottom in UFC still better than a lot of HWs.

Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 315 Points   |   Tied for 4104th

Pereira vs. Adesanya II
Israel Adesanya, TKO, R4
I think will see the old izzy in this one

Burns vs. Masvidal
Gilbert Burns, TKO, R2
Masvidal is washed

Font vs. Yanez
Adrian Yanez, DEC
Font is tough and a very good boxer but yanez will win by damage and knockdowns

Calvillo vs. Godinez
Lupita Godinez, TKO, R3
Calvillo should retire after this

Waterson-Gomez vs. Pinheiro
Michelle Waterson-Gomez, DEC
Pinheiro is overrated

Garcia vs. Nuerdanbieke
Shayilan Nuerdanbieke, TKO, R1
Garcia has no chin

Gastelum vs. Curtis
Kelvin Gastelum, DEC
Curtis got dominated by jack and was losing against buckley and kelvin only lost to top fighters and they couldnt finish so i doubt curtis can and if curtis doesnt get a finish i think kelvin will win this 49-46 or maybe 50-45

Chiesa vs. Li
Michael Chiesa, DEC
Chiesa is gonna wrestle **** him

Barnett vs. Sherman
Chris Barnett, DEC
Chase is tough

Garcia vs. Nuerdanbieke
Shayilan Nuerdanbieke, DEC
Steve has a big dog in him. This one goes to split decision.

Meerschaert vs. Pyfer
Gerald Meerschaert, SUB, R3
I'll wait for Joe to pick this one. He had Alexa and Martinez. Gerald is a python and slowly grips you harder until rd 3 then ends you.

Chiesa vs. Li
Michael Chiesa, DEC
This fight is epic. Micheals been training for 2 years. Jinliang knocks you out or loses decision. Pattern says ko. But not if Micheal drags him into the deep.

Still I disagree with your opinion to cut Petr after his fight with Merab, its like you'd cut Reyes after he lost his vacant title shot to Jan Błachowicz. And for Gastelum I don't care a single bit and I wish he was cut when he pulled out of Imavov fight. Also big **** you to Marc Goddard and Gastelums corner for letting him take too much dmg (I have a same feeling for every corner and refree letting fighters take too much dmg)

Honestly ACA is not a joke. This is a place that tests if you can reach high lvl of MMA. I'd even say that the level in ACA is higher than in KSW for instance. But of course there is no MMA promotion without matchifixing

Calvillo vs. Godinez

I'm never going to get over how beautiful Godinez is

Waterson-Gomez vs. Pinheiro
Michelle Waterson-Gomez, DEC
Waterson loses and retires because my picks are always wrong.

Bahamondes vs. Motta
Ignacio Bahamondes, DEC
Feels like such an unfair matchup but hey, if motta clears this it would be pretty amazing.

Gastelum vs. Curtis
Kelvin Gastelum, DEC
Kelvin Gastelum, I am his biggest fanboy but goddamn. I get a feeling like he used to beat up old washed up legends with just good cardio and now he is in a turning point in his career to stop that from happening to him. This is gonna be a scrap and I'm never counting out my boy in a proper fight.

Meerschaert vs. Pyfer
Joseph Pyfer, TKO, R1
This fight is for Pyfer to prove that he is not a can. He's got a lot of potential here, if Pyfer gets a good finish here I would hope for a #15 callout.

Chiesa vs. Li
Jingliang Li, DEC
if Li doesn't win this one I hope he retires or gets his management to pick favourable styles against him. I hope he's learned a way to avoid the grappling now.

Hughes vs. Amorim
Jaqueline Amorim, DEC
Brazilian from Coconut Creek, yep I know where my money is going porra.

Barnett vs. Sherman

Vanilla Gorilla vs actual Gorilla

Pereira vs. Adesanya II
Alex Pereira, TKO, R5
The brain dmg Izzy took in their 1st UFC meeting might be too much for Izzy. I expect him to be very gunshy which is never good vs Pereira. Late TKO incoming. Not standing I think this time Izzy gets dropped and finished by ground and pound

Burns vs. Masvidal
Gilbert Burns, SUB, R2
7 out 10 times Gilbert Durinho Burns eats Jorge Luckbred Masvidal for breakfast.

Font vs. Yanez
Adrian Yanez, DEC
Oh man Font is getting pieced up again

Rosas Jr. vs. Rodriguez
Raul Rosas Jr., DEC
Rosas looked rly good in his debut. But I would not count C-Rod out instantly

Holland vs. Ponzinibbio
Santiago Ponzinibbio, TKO, R3
With the low fight IQ of Holland I can see Ponzi knocking him out

Pereira vs. Adesanya II
Israel Adesanya, SUB, R3
I believe Izzy will find a path to victory. To me he won the first kickboxing fight, had Alex hurt in the 2nd fight and then the 1st round of their MMA fight where if he had like 5 more seconds you can argue he could have put Pereira away. If Pereira doesn't have anything up his sleeve in terms of grappling, then I think Izzy will be fully prepared to beat Periera everywhere. Izzy showed in the last fight he can take Pereira down, and even control him with relative ease in some positions, so if Izzy just embraces the fact that this is an MMA fight and not a kickboxing contest where he has to "get the KO back" then I think he can find a submission for himself. I think that's how anyone in the top of the MW division beats Pereira, just take him down and get his back, he sucks on the ground lol
