Predictions: 8 of 9 Winners, 3 Perfect, 500 Points | Tied for 32nd with 3 others
Kamara vs. Mercado
Abdul Kamara, DEC
I really like kamara. He’s older but has really developed his game. Hope he can make it to ufc
Smith vs. Ageday
Jacobe Smith, TKO, R1
Smith isn’t as ready for the ufc as his former teammate (piccininni) but he is pretty solid. He needs a slow roll, but fury is doing it the wrong way. All he’s doing is fighting jobbers, you can still give him winnable fights that will challenge him. This does nothing for his career
Cunningham vs. Mullen
AJ Cunningham, DEC
Fun fact: cunningham was almost signed to the ufc short notice. I’m not impressed with him, but the ufc is aware of him
Piccininni vs. Jackson
Nick Piccininni, SUB, R2
Great test for piccininni. Jackson is also a wrestler with a good resume, but he’s not out wrestling piccininni. Nick as a whole looks really good at 125. Dude is a giant for the weight class & his wrestling has translated very well to mma. Even his striking is really good, although he is a little bit uncomfortable on the feet. He should easily win this then get a shot on contender series
Dennis vs. Sutherland
Louie Sutherland, TKO, R1
Lol what the hell is Sutherland doing stateside. He must be trying to go to ufc. He seems really bad but hey ufc needs depth

Predictions: 10 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 640 Points | Tied for 2nd with 1 other
Holmes vs. Rodrigues
Julius Holmes, SUB, R2
Julius may go to DWCS with a win
Kamara vs. Mercado
Abdul Kamara, DEC
Kamara is puting a sneaky good win streak, he may get to DWCS with a win too, I have to say Mercado is a tricky guy and may find a finish at any time, so this is a good test
Reeder vs. Whitney
Tracy Reeder, DEC
Both Reeder and Whitney were in a great win streaks, but they faced a bunch of killer prospects. They have similar strengths and witness, so I give Reeder the edge due to the edge factor
Tejada vs. Freeman
Brakenden Freeman, DEC
I understand Tejada being the favorite, but I am a big fan of Freeman, i think he will be able to keep Tejada in range
Cunningham vs. Mullen
AJ Cunningham, DEC
Mullen accepts every fight, but Cunningham is really building himself, I expect him to get an oportunity at a major org at some point
Lozoya vs. Gurule
Luis Gurule, TKO, R2
I am big fan of Gurule, but this should be a really close fight

Too late to send picks on Tapology:
Tracy Reeder vs. Darren Whitney
Tracy Reeder, DEC
IGNORE PROPS. Both fighters are wrestler/grapplers with limited striking. Whitney seems to have advantage on feet while Reeder on ground. I know Reeder is chinny (lost to two decent prospects), but the multiple splits on Whitney's record shows that he is not a high level guy and most of his wins are dec and submissions (telling me that perhaps he lacks striking or likes to take fight to ground). Again I go for the dog when both fighters have the same style (I dont usually take it on a chinny dog but will take a chance). Going with the dog at 2.5 assuming that his chin stays and utilizes heavy grappling (where I think he has the advantage).
