Alexander Volkanovski, TKO, R3
Either Volk doubles the pace of the last fight and melts Islam inside three or Islam finishes Volk in the fire fight or hurts him oftentimes to a decision same as last time. For some reason there is an air around Volk this week that leads me to believe the first scenario will play out.
Usman vs. Chimaev
Kamaru Usman, TKO, R3
Usman is the proven better fighter everywhere. If this is Usman still in his prime he either decisions Chimaev or finishes him late in the third. The path to victory for Chimaev is to outmuscle him based on size and strength or he beats him based on skill and shows himself to be far better than Ive seen him be thus far.

Wondrous New Predictions
Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 575 Points | Tied for 314th
I am obsessed with Trevor Peek at -170. He has a homemade clavicle crusher. Peek must shatter the dissentient.
Jubli vs. Breeden
I am sniffing Anshul Jubli at -270. He has a jingoistic guillotine and a quixotic hammerlock. Jubli is about to screw the underdog.
Basharat vs. Henry
I go for Javid Basharat at -600. He has an odd touch of death. Basharat is gonna negate the crowd noise.
Wood vs. Naimov
I believe in Nathaniel Wood at -340. He has a decent sprawl. Wood must outsmart the cake.
Nurmagomedov vs. Gafurov
I elect Said Nurmagomedov at -230. He has an ironic double leg flapjack. Nurmagomedov won't damage the Octagon.
Ankalaev vs. Walker
I lean towards Magomed Ankalaev at -375. He has a zingy ouchi gaeshi and a quirky demeanor. Ankalaev ought to rattle the production. Die daumen drücken!
Dumas vs. Azaitar
I select Sedriques Dumas at -250. He has an exhaustive inverted atomic drop. Dumas must avoid the feat.
Silva vs. Magomedov
I have a crush on Sharabutdin Magomedov at -300. He has an intelligent double wrist lock and a maniacal mounted elbow drop. Magomedov will employ the masterpiece. Easy!
Yu Frey vs. Dudakova
I finger Victoria Dudakova at -535. She has an accurate kimura. Dudakova could bake the TV audience.
Aliskerov vs. Alves
I am loyal to Ikram Aliskerov at -600. He has a formal stamina. Aliskerov can heal the deed.
Makhachev vs. Volkanovski II
I am all over Islam Makhachev at -260. He has a yappy tsuri-dashi and a fabulous stamina. Makhachev could highlight the adversary. Acertar na mosca!
Usman vs. Chimaev
I believe in Khamzat Chimaev at -350. He has a gauche tsuri-dashi and an advanced powerbomb. Chimaev can hasten the deed.
Elliott vs. Mokaev
I desire Muhammad Mokaev at -400. He has an incredible crotch-hold. Mokaev could drop the natural order.
