My brain is telling me Simon can mix up takedowns and strikes enough to win a UD but I also partially think that Song can stuff these takedowns and steal rounds by landing harder strikes. Albeit with much less frequency. Such a strategy can be tough to win with.
I am torn between the two but will favor Song to pull out a decision in what will probably be a SD with weird judging on both sides. I would not be surprised if 1 judge has it 4-1 Simon, another has it 4-1 Song and the last has it 3-2 Song or something crazy like that.
This fight has a weird judges decision after a back and forth technical fight written all over it in my opinion.
Sorry to be a ************* with my opinion. Cawd.

Prediction Comments
Predictions: 3 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 215 Points | Tied for 3432nd
Ricky Simón, SUB, R3
Song has that big right hand and forward pressure that may get him an early victory, but I see Ricky slowing him down against the fence, grinding, evading and eventually submitting Song
Borralho vs. Oleksiejczuk
Caio Borralho, DEC
Whew this is a hard one to pick. Oleksiejczuk pressures forward with heavy hands and goes to the body early, so Caio will have to use his movement, kicks, and counterstriking skills to survive the early rounds. Caio's punches can get loopy in rd 3, leaving his chin available, and Michal when tired and pressured moves backward in a straight line, also leaving himself open for a KO.
Brundage vs. Vieira
Rodolfo Vieira, SUB, R2
Brundage has the talent and experience, can grapple and wrestle but rushes in for those TD's too quickly sometimes off the counterpunch, and gets caught. He'd do well to keep distance with the jab, or else Vierira will wear him down with calf kicks and his own hard jabs and constant pressure. He'll pull guard in rd 2 because his cardio isn't great and he could tire noticeably if it goes past that
Erosa vs. Padilla
Julian Erosa, K3
Padilla has a style that will always win him the D if there's no finish in a fight. He's always touching his opponent, jabbing, pressuring, clinching, dirty boxing, taking one to give one, urging his opponent to get into a brawl and not a fight. He's not at Juicy J's level, and how is his cardio against the constant movement and from the hip punches that are hard to see coming? They both have that take-one-to-give-one mentality and killer instinct, it's a matter of who is disciplined enough to make it work in their favour
