Khamzat Chimaev
After thoroughly analyzing their fights, it is clear that Khamzat Chimaev is going to easily beat former Champion Kamaru Usman. Usman has been on a downhill trajectory, and Chimaev has been consistently smashing his opponents. As much as Usman would like to believe he can still compete at the highest level, it is clear to me that he is fighting for no other reason than the money. It's going to be a total domination by Chimaev, and Usman is going to be put in his place..

Islam Makhachev
As a confident sports bettor, I can confidently assert that Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev will easily beat Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski again. Last time they faced off, Volkanovski was clearly outmatched and offered no resistance. I can only expect the same outcome this time around. In fact, I'll even go as far as to say that Volkanovski should feel lucky he even has the opportunity to step foot in the Octagon with a powerhouse like Makhachev..

It had to have been a hand picked fight, magomedov’s competition is so SUSPECT. But you have to think they’re giving this guy Bruno as an easy W.

Warley Alves in Great Christ oil position, but a massive underdog at +425, over 1.5 for +140 looks great!

Some of my bets
Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 405 Points | Tied for 3779th
1. Shara Vs Silva
Over 1.5, Shara by decision (though the KO is live I feel this goes longer)
2. Dudakova Vs Frey
Fight does not go the distance, Dudakova ITD (Not a very confident play, could go to decision)
3. Wood Vs Naimov
Wood, Fight does not go the distance, Wood ITD/Wood submission
4. Jubli Vs Breeden
Over 1.5, Breeden, Breeden ITD (Breedens losses are mainly by KO, don't see Jubli doing that, not confident but worth the play and I think the weight miss is beneficial to Breeden)
5. Azaitar Vs Dumas
Azaitar, over 1.5, (Not many plays on this. I don't like eithetr fighter but I like Dumas less, maybe I'm biased)
6. Basharat Vs Henry
Over 2.5, Basharat decision
7. Peek Vs Yahya
Peek ITD, Peek, Fight does not go the distance
8. Mokaev Vs Elliott
Over 1.5, Elliott (Low confidence play on Elliott, could well lose this one)
9. Nurmagomedov Vs Gafurov
Said, Said ITD/Submission
10. Ankalaev Vs Walker
Ankalaev, Ankalaev ITD
11. Chimaev Vs Usman
Chimaev, Chimaev ITD, Chimaev submission
12. Makhachev Vs Volk
Makhachev ITD, Makhachev money line
Hope that's of use to someone, remember tail any bets with caution. This is a tough card
