Goltsov will be at least -1200 here I'm guessing.

Was watching film on Shane Mitchell and Nayib Lopez... 

Both honestly are way worse than I expected, shading Mitchell due to his power and Nayib's ability to catch punches with his chin.

Magomedkerimov vs. Egli
Magomed Magomedkerimov, DEC
Magomed is top level I just hope Egli can test him somehow

Manfio vs. Martinez
Raush Manfio, DEC
Manfio has put in a great run he can be proud and cool to see a standout from Paraguay they have a troubled past

Mitchell vs. López
Nayib López, DEC
6 ft 3 he may end up at MW or LHW some day

Miranda vs. Amir
Bruno Miranda, DEC
Both seem good but have not been too active I suppose this is their chance

Juusola vs. Jenkins
Brandon Jenkins, TKO, R1
Juusola was a heavy underdog in his last one

Schulte vs. Ray
Natan Schulte, DEC
Schulte going for a 3rd million?

Collard vs. Nishikawa
Clay Collard, DEC
20 and 21-3-6 but Collard is a tough veteran, if Nishikawa wins he will have proven himself and only 20

Goltsov vs. Ferreira
Denis Goltsov, TKO, R2
The inactivity may cost Ferreira

Leal vs. Zawada
Carlos Leal, DEC
A win over Ray Cooper is always hard earned but Zawada is Polish, he is no German can ha

Umalatov vs. Taylor
Magomed Umalatov, DEC
Its hard to bet against Dagestanis they are among the best ever, Taylor is still a top talent though and 26

Seen the Martinez fight, 30 months out with knee injuries in which he was told he wasn't ever going to fight again to come back and shake the ring rust out. Same guy that Schulte got a split decision over whilst not having career ending injuries and a long lay off. I think Stevie will win but Schulte is very good but I don't understand or see any rationale for the heavy favouritism for Schulte.

Burgos, who looked powerful in the featherweight division, looks small and skinny in the lightweight division. The lines in his fight are nonsense...

I've replaced Umalatov with a  couple of boxing picks at the same value.

Too much money coming in for Taylor, I smell a rat.

So the knee injuries have not gone away. Therefore, if he lost to Martinez, who does not know how to wrestle normally, then why would he defeat Schulte?
Who wrestle and breathes much better than Martinez
And again you say that Martinez had a split with Schulte.
So Ray lost to Martinez 30-27, again your theory fails

I feel like Burgos is getting very overhyped here. He’s an exciting fighter but he’s never actually been that good. Mercier isn’t an exciting fighter so if he’s to win this it won’t be that good of a fight. We will see if Shane looks better at 155 though.

Zawada is a live dog here btw. He’s been competitive agaisnt everyone he’s fought

@Dmitriev 

He's a fighter out of Scotland, training out of Stevie Ray's camp. 

He's just saying things to hype Ray while using MMA math pretty much.

The knee injuries are away as far as im aware. I'd put the Martinez fight down to ring rust. Not trying to build hype or anything. As I said I don't the rationale behind it being one sided towards Schulte when Stevie has the better CV. If you check my profile I've not fought in years and haven't trained at Higher Level since before covid. 

Stevie has beaten better grapplers, strikers and is well rounded. I haven't watched enough of Schulte to say how I think Stevie wins but from what I have seen its Schulte's grappling that he's excelled in. Only person I've seen beat Stevie grappling when he was primed and ready was Alan Patrick in Brazil in 2016.

Dilano Taylor is +1000 by KO/TKO/DQ...

I'm not saying it is a slam dunk by any stretch.  But for those that chase value.  This is worth a touch, possibly.  He could get finished himself.  I just think that +1000 is something to consider.

Seeing the line movement but what makes people think Umalatov is a fraud? Seems like he’s young and steadily improving, has solid striking and grappling both, not really sure what you would see in Taylor that you think is a path to victory? I feel like he’s worse everywhere and it’s going to be a pretty low volume striking affair
