U get "Overtime" Anderson for your DECISION on 24-6-0 "Mr. Wonderful"
"The American Predator" with Height/Weight/Reach adv KO's Saricam N 2. Age and rest between fights would have sum factor. But the + outweigh the -.

Predictions: 12 of 14 Winners, 8 Perfect, 815 Points | Tied for 250th
Vadim Nemkov, DEC
Not close.
Pettis vs. Pitbull
Patricio Pitbull, DEC
Decent layoff for Pettis and while I worry about how well Pitbull will look in rounds 3-5, I think he wins a decision here. Unless he death gasses I think his fight IQ and vet savvy carries him to a historic 3rd title. Pettis was absolutely getting schooled by Horiguchi before landing a perfect shot. I think Pitbull coming in under 135 is a good sign.
Anderson vs. Davis
Corey Anderson, DEC
Davis still decent at 38 but unless Corey Anderson didn't train at all for this fight he should win every round.
James vs. Saricam
Daniel James, TKO, R2
Saricam is actually decent and has a chin but the Predator is on a mission to prove he deserves a title shot. I think Saricam gets clipped very late 2nd round and gets TKO'd via ground and pound.
Gouvea vs. Sayeg
Wladmir Gouvea, SUB, R2
Murder.
Crutchmer vs. Nash
Kyle Crutchmer, TKO
Would maybe consider Nashty if he was coming in with some momentum but hasn't fought in almost 2 years.
Buist vs. Rabadanov
Gadzhi Rabadanov, DEC
Decent matchup but Gadzhi is just too good. 30-27 if he doesn't find a late finish.
Willis vs. Kuramagomedov
Ramazan Kuramagomedov, DEC
Split decision.
Hamel vs. Nikaev
Mike Hamel, DEC
I think Nikaev makes a good showing of himself but will be a step behind.
Novenyi Jr. vs. Oniszczuk
Norbert Novenyi Jr., SUB, R3
Mid confidence. Kamil has some size and is decent but Novenyi is a tank.
Colgan vs. Sanchez
Archie Colgan, DEC
Low confidence.
Khizriev vs. Smullen
Timur Khizriev, DEC
Odds on this fight are wild but the favorite is correct.
Law vs. Chavez
Cody Law, DEC
Record padding continues.

Karl Moore, DEC
50/50 but I like the size Karl will have here and worry about the damage Polizzi took in his last fight.

Chavez has never been finished, seems tough. Law has more skills IMO.

Mike Hamel, DEC
Going with Hamel. Not sure about it though.
Moore vs. Polizzi
Alex Polizzi, DEC
Similar records, both out of good gyms. Leaning towards Alex due to better competition.
Newman vs. Perry
Jordan Newman, TKO, R1
Newman should be the bigger, stronger guy. Definitely has the wrestling advantage.

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 6 Perfect, 700 Points | Tied for 736th
I feel disposed to Wladmir Gouvea at -500. He has a qualified diet. Gouvea isn't about to vaccinate the dissentient.
Nemkov vs. Romero
I believe in Vadim Nemkov at -550. He has a underrated armbar and a xerophthalmic double leg. Nemkov is about to assault the underdog.
Pettis vs. Pitbull
I am all over Patricio Pitbull at -190. He has a cryptic attitude. Pitbull must best the cage.
Anderson vs. Davis
I adopt Corey Anderson at -175. He has a passionate crucifix. Anderson might gargle the feat.
Moore vs. Polizzi
I favor Alex Polizzi at -135. He has a xenophobic butterfly sweep and a formal mindset. Polizzi is about to impair the opposing forces. Hammertime!
Buist vs. Rabadanov
I choose Gadzhi Rabadanov at -1000. He has an automatic takedown. Rabadanov could guess the TV audience.
Novenyi Jr. vs. Oniszczuk
I am taking Norbert Novenyi Jr. at -225. He has a unique ankle lock. Novenyi Jr. can manipulate the humiliating defeat.
Willis vs. Kuramagomedov
I am going with Ramazan Kuramagomedov at -210. He has a jaunty piledriver. Kuramagomedov will overpower the cage.
Colgan vs. Sanchez
I am all about Archie Colgan at -280. He has a venomous crescent kick and a ultrasonic fight IQ. Colgan should choke the masterpiece.
Khizriev vs. Smullen
I go with Timur Khizriev at -1000. He has a leaden kouchi gari and a kooky tai otoshi. Khizriev will nullify the victory.
Crutchmer vs. Nash
I am obsessed with Kyle Crutchmer at -350. He has a hypersonic guillotine. Crutchmer must cheat the victory.
Newman vs. Perry
I believe in Jordan Newman at -2500. He has a woebegone attitude. Newman ought to ruin the underdog.
Law vs. Chavez
I adopt Cody Law at -625. He has a yucky chin. Law will likely gargle the canvas.

Corey Anderson, DEC
Corey Anderson has looked pretty good in Bellator. Only loss to the current champ, and is younger. I favor him. It will be close ( I think).
Crutchmer vs. Nash
Kyle Crutchmer, DEC
Kyle bounces back with a wrestling heavy win.
Willis vs. Kuramagomedov
Jaleel Willis, DEC
Tough fight, but gotta go with the homestate guy.
