Prediction Comments
Predictions: 3 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 175 Points | Tied for 4190th
Dan Ige, SUB, R2
Happy to pick Ige here. Still pissed about the Landwehr/Elkins fight and there's levels to this **** which I believe will be abundantly clear tonight but it should definitely be fun. I'll say club'n'sub.
Bilder vs. Nelson
Blake Bilder, DEC
I think the matchmakers and the odds are off on this one. Might be a bigger step up than it at first seems. Wouldn't touch this betting wise with a 10 foot pole.

Amanda Nunes, DEC
Don't overthink it. forget all the retirement talk lets be honest she's a champion for a reason you really think shes not going as hard as before? she lost the belt to Pena already there wont be a hump or a ( this is getting to easy let me not train as hard ) * attitude. Im only picking Decision because Aldana is mexican and i have pride in her making it the full 5 rounds but round 3 sub seems very possible.
Oliveira vs. Dariush
Charles Oliveira, TKO, R2
DO BRONX!!! such a close fight hopefully Beneil just dosn't try and wrestle Olivera and keeps it standing cause this fight will be a BANGER!! Sadly tho thats how i see it. I see Beneil getting hurt standing then trying to wrestle and smuggle olivera and i wouldnt be surprised at all if Benny gives up a rear naked choke ( i know **** Dariush is excellent on the ground ) but he always gives up his back in fights when he is getting up. Same way how he got subbed years ago by michael chiesa. old habits die slow.
Malott vs. Fugitt
Mike Malott
fook it
Ige vs. Landwehr
Nate Landwehr, DEC
its easier to see shots coming when youre on the front foot, i think we will see alot of Ige missing hooks when Nate comes in .. Nate's defense isnt bad at all he tries to keep his head off center and constantly bobs and weaves his head i just wish he didnt try and shoulder roll some shots cause Ige can 100% clip him and drop him .. Nate's way more active aswell not scared to throw kicks to the body. I wish Ige would pressure more in fights then i would pick him.
Imavov vs. Curtis
Chris Curtis, TKO, R3
body shots round 3 tko!

Amanda Nunes, DEC
I would love to be wrong and think there's a real chance for an upset here.
Oliveira vs. Dariush
Beneil Dariush, SUB, R3
I see Do Bronx dropping Dariush early but going for a sub instead of trying to g'n'p, Benny surviving then hurting Oliveira late, wearing on him and Charles giving up a sub because he is allergic to decisions. The only other thing I have to add is all the people saying he hasn't fought the same level of opposition are right but not in the way they think;I would pick Gamrot, Guram, and Tsarukyan all to beat both Poirier and Gaethje. I love Fiziev but I think all 3 would beat him as well.

Bilder - Nelson

I still think this a close fight that Nelson could win, but I liked what I saw of Bilder at the weigh ins and I do expect Nelson to slow down and start to gas after R2. Recently Nelson has been relying on a wrestling approach to win minutes, and while Bilder does tend to stay too long on his back I think the ground advantage will be his. Hard fight to call but going for Bilder now
