Chris Curtis, DEC
Honestly I do think Imavov has a better chance to win, but I don't think Imavov is very remarkable, and I'll always pick Curtis over an unremarkable fighter. Curtis' camp just gameplanned for Imavov with Strickland a few months back, and I think Curtis may come out more aggressive this fight after the result of his last fight and may not want to leave it to the judges. I think Curtis can edge a very close decision.
Jasudavicius vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, DEC
I used to train with Maverick before she moved to Elevation, so I'm obligated to pick her. Lines are blown out of proportion though.
Zahabi vs. Aoriqileng
Aoriqileng, DEC
Zahabi looked terrible on the scale and honestly just isn't that good of a fighter. He has very low output and even though he got a KO over Drako Rodriguez, he isn't very powerful. His other win over Turcios is one of the most laughable fights of all time as well. I think Firas is overrated as a coach too, AQ has the much better camp with Fight Ready and more power with a similar style. AQ probably gets it done by decision, but won't be surprised if he gets a KO.

Irene Aldana, TKO, R2
I just hope the main event is fun compared to my expectations (which are low).
Oliveira vs. Dariush
Beneil Dariush, SUB, R2
Beneil is going to drop Charles a lot, but I don't think he slumps him. I believe Beneil is going to follow him to the ground, out scramble Charles and submit him while he's hurt and tired. Pressure wins him this fight.
Malott vs. Fugitt
Mike Malott, TKO, R1
Either Malott ends this in the first by brutal KO or gasses and Fugitt gets a late rounds finish.
Ige vs. Landwehr
Nate Landwehr, SUB, R3
Ige has not been finished in his last 5, but... NATE THE TRAIN IN THE UFC! (I think Nate is a good enough grappler to make Ige hesitate, bro was fighting Dagestanis at M-1)
Anders vs. Barriault
Marc-André Barriault, SUB, R1
Barriult sub, gut feeling.
Imavov vs. Curtis
Chris Curtis, TKO, R3
Imavov is gonna try and land those elbows that worked against Strickland on Curtis and end up eating an uppercut that slumps him.
Jasudavicius vs. Maverick
Jasmine Jasudavicius, DEC
Idunno, canada lady so why not.
Zahabi vs. Aoriqileng
Aiemann Zahabi, DEC
Zahabi excels against predictable opponents, Aoriqileng is just that (That and Zahabi is bigger than the average Aoriqileng opponent).
Bilder vs. Nelson
Blake Bilder, SUB, R2
Bilder is going to dominate round 1, submit demoralized and hurt Nelson in R2, probably by arm triangle or RNC.
Dvořák vs. Erceg
David Dvořák, DEC
dvorak kept it competitive with kape, so uh... yeah dvorak
Belbiţă vs. Oliveira
Maria Oliveira, DEC
WMMA? Go with the Brazilian lady.
