Why are so many people confident in Emmers who weighed in Over? He's a C level fighter.

A lot of very competitive matchups that could go either way. Enjoy the fights and don't worry about your picks.

I really don't like to cross the frontier beyond dislike the fighting style of a fighter or their personalities, but Dumas is without doubt one of the biggest sore losers on MMA history: I remember read an article on reactions from winners/lossers in a UFC Fight Night and on twitter after losing against Fremd, Dumas on twitter kept saying that Fremd only beat him because he was not ready to go to the ground and that he wanted the matchmakers to give him an immediate rematch, that that is not possible could stay like this. 

I'm not aware on Dumas’ felonies, but Dumas had one of the worst overreaction on defeat in MMA history by acting like he'd at least lost a championship after several defenses when he actually lost his UFC Debut, I'd like to see Brundage win today and See what excuse Dumas comes up with if he gets to be 0-2 in the UFC.

Emmett vs. Topuria
Josh Emmett, DEC
so last time ilia fought i somehow managed to accidentally click bryce instead, but this time it's on purpose! ilia has yet to see "deep waters" and emmett is not the guy you wanna test it out against because he carries his power for the whole fight. i'm taking the chance here, but i would not mind being wrong because this division gets a lot more interesting with an ilia win.

Ribas vs. Barber
Amanda Ribas, DEC
given the chance, maycee wants to grind, and i'm not confident that she'll be able to track ribas down and keep her in place.

Tafa vs. Lane
Justin Tafa, TKO, R1
if lane fights smart then he could stay mobile enough to avoid the big shots, but i'm not expecting ww level fight iq from hw's so i'll go with the majority and say lane runs into something eventually.

Onama vs. Santos
Gabriel Santos, DEC
onama is a handful early so santos is gonna have to be patient and find ways to get his arms tired.

Allen vs. Silva
Brendan Allen, SUB, R2
thinking bruno's aggressive style will leave him open to getting his back taken.

Magny vs. Rowe
Neil Magny, DEC
will be interesting to see how neil fights against someone longer than he is, but i still feel like his tank and ability to mix it up can carry him here.

Brown vs. Turman
Randy Brown, TKO, R2
turman could find the back, but i feel like he's gonna get hit too much prior.

Rębecki vs. Radzhabov
Loik Radzhabov, DEC
i'll take the bigger guy coming off the more impressive win. totally possible that rebecki can take loik down and get him tired though.

Ricci vs. Robertson
Tabatha Ricci, DEC
gillian will probably have her moment to hit a corner and attempt to take the back, but i'm feeling like ricci will be aware enough to avoid getting finished.

Zhumagulov vs. Van
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
hopefully the haircut can woo the judges this time around. expecting van to make it close though.

Peek vs. Mariscal
Trevor Peek, TKO, R1
totally possible that peek can't get him out of there early and gasses, but i'll stick with the consensus.

Emmers vs. Jenkins
Jamall Emmers, DEC
i'm awful with emmers, but i'll say experience plays a factor and jamall can stay slick enough on the outside here.

Brundage vs. Dumas
Cody Brundage, SUB, R2
dumas looked a little lost in his debut and is probably gonna be in trouble if he can't keep cody at range and hurt him early.

My confidence in Emmers extends to picking him on Tap while betting Jenkins at +170.

Never been a fan of Barber and her fighting style is sort of annoying. I’m picking her as a dog here. Ribas always seems to get cracked and wobbled in her fights, I’m sort of banking on Barber’s young age and her ability to improve from fight to fight. She definitely has good power for the weight too. I think she sort of needs to get Ribas out of there as Ribas will probably win a decision just by being the more experienced grappler
