I'm surprised that so many people are on Johnson here. I don't really get it. Ferreira is on a three-fight skid, but he's been given a pretty ******* nasty gauntlet to run. Those losses have come against high-end fighters, two of which are specialists. Gamrot, Gillespie and Dariush are not bums. Michael Johnson hasn't fought--let alone beaten anyone--respectable in five years. You have to go back pre-Lobov (2018) to find him a win over someone whose record isn't fishier than sunbaked crud-nuggets in the wispy witch-fluff of an elderly bag lady's chin.Even when you do you hit Andre Fili, who is the MMA equivalent of an airport sandwich.
Recently he's beaten Diakese who gets KO'ed by the wind of shots that nearly land, and Alan Patrick who I had forgotten ever existed at all and who I had assumed had retired around 2014--which happens to be the last time he won a fight, against John Makdessi.
Think I'll inverse the Tap majority. Diego has terrible cardio issues, but he can probably do enough over two to get a 29-28, survive the third, or possibly hit a sub. Punches plenty hard, which should help keep Johnson honest. It's fairly unlikely Johnson gets a finish, he only knows how to strike and Diego has only ever been stopped once in his career by strikes and that was against Poirier.
Edit: Twice. He got finished by GNP in the Gillespie fight IIRC.
Ferriera, sub or dec.

Prediction Comments
Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 6 Perfect, 640 Points | Tied for 533rd
Mackenzie Dern, DEC
The pick Is Dern but I just don’t know what she will look like in the 4/5 if hill is pushing a pace need to go watch some more tape on this one before I lock in a bet
Shahbazyan vs. Hernandez
Anthony Hernandez, DEC
Don’t sleep on Edman man’s built like a kitten with huge rib cage but has the heart of a lesbian . Edman is gonna coming out hard in that first round with huge kicks and one , twos down the pipe but he can get cought we have seen it way to much and Edman is more then willing to rolling . But fluffy has toughed out some hard round with like the likes of Marc BARRIAULT & BJJ world champ Viera who he beat at his own game . I think this fight is harder then it looks on paper I think Edman should be respected a little bit more kids 25 years old been fighting in the UFC against power punch’s like Brunson & Brad Tavares he broke his loosing streak witch I’m sure felt like a weight off his back his not at the top fighting killers as a kid anymore but his got a tough fight here . it’s a coin flip for me I think Hernandez survives some early adversity nearly gets subbed himself and ends up getting the 29/28 split decisions win
Ducote vs. Godinez
Lupita Godinez, DEC
I just don’t really care for woman’s mma I’m not going to sit back and watch hours of tape on either fighter when I have seen them both fight and havnt been impressed but I think Loopy has looked the better of the too . If you see something let me know about bets
Fialho vs. Buckley
Joaquin Buckley, TKO, R2
Down in weight for Buckley agaist another Kill cliff fighter he will have the reach advantage and I think it shouldn’t be to bad of a weight cut for him . I think his power will come down well at welterweight but I think someone’s getting put out here
Johnson vs. Ferreira
Michael Johnson, TKO, R3
This my Dog of the week I think I just think Michael Johnson boxing will be to good Ferreira . I know Johnson has been subbed a fair few times in career and Ferreira has a heaps of submission wins but I just don’t think he has the best wrestling to get it where he wants and Johnson has awesome TD defence I think Johnson gets it done in 2-3 rd .
Maheshate vs. Borshchev
Viacheslav Borshchev, TKO, R3
Anther 50/50 imo from what we have seen from both men but Borshchev accolades say he should be much more Russian world champ kickboxer but we just havnt seen it but I think he should be fine in this one against Maheshate if rafa garica wins a decision win he should atleast scrap this one inn
Kowalkiewicz vs. Demopoulos
Vanessa Demopoulos, DEC
Siding with the fav in Kowalkiewicz what ever it is and I couldn’t care less hate this fight kinda of Milfs but
Cosce vs. Urbina
Gilbert Urbina, DEC
Look I want to pick Urbina I really do brother was a older day UFC fighter young went threw the TUF house at I think age 22-23 fought some decent comp there was a late replace for the finale where he looked good agaist Bryan battle who is on a solid run since winning the showing only getting wrestle ****** by a Russian and loosing his taken almost 3 years off and been traning non stop in the PI since then I think the improvement will be awesome but I just don’t know how he will go against such a solid hype pace wrestle in Cosce . I was picking Cosce but I’m backing flipping while I write this **** it ! Only a pick no bet
Latifi vs. Nascimento
Rodrigo Nascimento, DEC
Nasicmento should be strong enough and sauced up enough to keep Latifi off him I thought he retired anyway I’m not picking him it’s just a money grab if I’m being honest . Siding with the better striker , stronger fighter much younger I think if he can just keep him at bay for 15 mins with the 1,2 not rush anything and give Latifi his hips he gets this one done /29/28 could be boring
Hooper vs. Fiore
Nick Fiore, TKO, R2
I know Nick Fiore is very green in his UFC career but he took on Rebeki in his last fight on short notice betters had him to get knocked out in every Parlay and showed he could hand with the much bigger more stronger fighter who imo would run straight threw chase hopper inside a round . Hopper come into the UFC as BJJ wiz kid but his wrestling just isn’t good enough to get to we’re he can dominate with his BJJ in the past when chase has surprise most is when his been getting smoked by a full grown man and he grabs a sub but I just don’t think his got stand up to be in the UFC maybe with the right fights he can stay here and build a career for a bit longer or maybe I’m wrong and we see massive improve his only 23 things can switch on out of nowhere and start clicking when your that age and it almost seems overnight but I just think Fiore showed he can stay in these grinding fights with much stronger opponents I think Nike find a round 1/2 KO and chase is shooting legs like Ryan hall . Someone needs to get chase on a juice cycle and get him strictly look at how big O’Malley got
Leonardo vs. Silva
Natália Silva, TKO, R2
Simple pick here Leonardo is trash and Silva is decent I think Leonardo is only going to try and grapple and we see a stoppage in this one . The last 3 times she’s been Knocked out was all in the 2nd round Silva is coming off a round 3 KO I think the best play here betting wise is Silva round 2,3 maybe we get a decent price early .
Sato vs. Gorimbo
Takashi Sato, DEC
Aw man tough one here . I honestly think that Sato is the better all round MMA fight I know his on a massive skid being 1-4 in his last five but his still on 32 he has shown awesome grappling ability against the like the likes of Gunner Nelson Belal Muhammad as of late. It’s do or die for Sato Imo Themba Gorimbo to me is more of a BJJ fight then opposed to a striker like a lot of people seem to think because his so big for the divisions but he only has one KO back in 2017 . I really wasn’t impressed with him at all in the AJ fletcher fight giving up some very easy and dominant positions when grappling and I just think if you do that with Sato he will jump on you with heavy ground and pound . I think if Sato can use good head movement and keep this fight standing he will be the much better off fighter . I think he has the ability to scramble and catch a wizzer with his high level Judo . It’s a 50/50 fight imo and so do odds makers . I think it goes the distance but Gorimbo has been finished by KO in the second twice now . There is a chance Gorimbo catch’s Sato with a high kick that wraps around like battle did but I just don’t see it and his had a good 9 month break since that bad KO

I don't know anything much about either guy apart from the fact that Maheshate has beaten Garcia, which isn't much, but it's more than Borschev has ever done apparently. He can take a punch and punches hard. And I can't in good conscience pick a fighter who looks both like the school chaplain and the father of the wheezy kid who attends it, complete with psoriasis and two gallon inhaler, who he's failing to prevent from being molested by a Janitor named Harold in some musty dark backroom where Gym mats are stored.
Maheshate KO/TKO.

Johnson is a scorecard away from being on a 3 fight win streak though, which is definitely hard to ignore. Really is a very hard fight to call. I think I have to lean Johnson.
