Aline Pereira, DEC
Wow the lfa really wants to push aline huh. For what it’s worth, she actually didn’t do too bad in her debut; but obviously it’s a large step up fighting a TUF vet in your debut. She showed her striking hinestly isn’t that good & she can’t grapple, but she does have some good qualities. She is massive for her weight class & shares the periera strength in her genes. She cracks really hard for a woman. It’s kind of sus that she’s fighting a grappler but she should win this one
Yakobov vs. Perreira

Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 5 Perfect, 680 Points | Tied for 113th
John Sweeney, DEC
This is a sick fight and I imagine the winner goes to dwcs. Begosso is way better than his dwcs appearance showed. He has never been good against wrestlers & took a very hard fight on short notice. He is a fast twitch striker. Very powerful striking and a good guillotine. However, his grappling overall needs work. Sweeney on the other hand is someone who has improved a ton. His grappling looked way better against farias and he’s always had sick striking. I imagine he gets signed with a win. Really exciting guy to watch
Budka vs. Bekoev
Azamat Bekoev, SUB, R3
Yeah this one is just really tough for me. On one hand you have Budka, who I like a lot. He is new to mma, but has stayed insanely active and been looking better and better each fight. He is a really good wrestler but the striking does need some work. Bekoev is weird. He has a good record but honestly not crazy impressive. He’s got really good power but the striking iverall is kinda meh. Despite the last name, he’s not an amazing wrestler either. He’s got good tdd and good bjj for a dagi, but it’s nothing special. However, against a green wrestler I think bekoev should have the upper hand. Really didn’t like how he looked against balente tho; he should’ve finished that
Roberts vs. Harrell
Josiah Harrell, TKO, R3
Unsure where to rate Harrell. His record looks amazing but the first real person he fought, he looked awful until getting a lucky stoppage. Unsure if that was just an off performance or if he’s just a fraud. Either way, this should be one he wins easily. Hopefully that one perfomance was just a one-off
Clay vs. Hassanzada
Lucas Clay, DEC
I wanted to believe hassanzada could’ve been good, but he has looked so bad since dwcs. His striking is awful & his grappling has somehow gotten worse. I like clay & he was definitely robbed against Aaron McKenzie. He’s got this funky striking style & is also a creative grappler. Hopefully he can get dwcs with a win here
Bush vs. Kinzig
Cameron Kinzig, TKO, R1
Always gotta back a student of Matt brown’s
Lane vs. Miller
Thomas Lane, TKO, R2
Lane was a pretty decent wrestler in college; qualified for the NCAA tourney a few times. This is a layup for him. His opponent hasn’t fought since 2016 & has never fought more than once every three years

Sweeney 3RD SUB
Both these guys seem UFC level to me but I can't trust Begosso after his last performance against Basharat I feel Sweeney has the grappling to beat him but Begosso is always game with his explosiveness and I hope he may have identified his poor grappling and worked on it.
Budka vs Bekoev
Budka DEC
My view is that Bekoev isn't as good as he seems his record is quite padded and most good opps he has faced he lost to. Budka is quite green but has good comp for his record and I really like him, I would love him to win this and get on the contender series with it. He is still young in the sport so even if he loses he can come back from it
Harrell vs Roberts
Harrell RD1 KO
Harrell isn't that good but roberts is just terrible and harrell has been training with Matt Brown and seems very powerful and roberts only wins in B2FS but he has fought Khama Worthy, Mike Perry and Jason Knight so he may not be as bad as his record seems to make him look.
Hassanzada vs Clay
Clay RD2 TKO
Hassanzada did not look good since the DWCS fight and Clay is borderline UFC level so Clay wins pretty easily as Hassanzada was ruined by Sadykov. Get ALI's relative in the UFC
Kinzig vs Bush
Kinzig RD2 KO
I am going to trust Matt Brown's guy here as he has good size compared to Bush and Bush was koed by Chandler Cole and that fat **** koing tells me you arent great and I believe Kinzig has better cardio than Bush who should cut to 205 if he is taking the sport seriously.
Lane vs Miller
Lane DEC
Lane is an ex-collegiate wrestler who has been a primary training partner for Chris Weidman and Honeycutt and his opponent hasn't fought in 7 years so Lane should dominate and hopefully finds a finish
Pereira vs Conner
Pereira DEC
Although Pereira lost it was against a women who had 20 pro and ammy fights and was on TUF. She is huge for the weightclass which will give her a huge advantage as this girl is 5 foot and ex strawweight and with that amount of size advantage in WMMA Pereira should win pretty comfortbaly
Bell vs Turner
Turner RD2 SUB
Turner is also an ex collegiate wrestler who has 10 ammy fights against very good comp however I feel he is undersized and he should drop to 155 in the future but his opponent is a brawler who I feel has no TDD and has a terrible ammy record but has wins in BKFC, Turner should take him down and dominate him.
Nott vs Garner
Garner RD1 TKO
Nott isn't good he is 35 years old and doesn't have good wins and compared with Garner he will struggle. Garner played college football for Alabama A & M as a RB or a FB and is very athletic. He has had a pro boxing fight and is a main training partner of Dylan Budka. I think Garner surprises a lot of people as I feel Nott can't deal with his athletism however he will need to keep dropping weight classes as he is very undersized.
Pereira VS Yakobov
Pereira RD1 SUB
The Israeli Fade is live this guy fought in Bellator and got subbed in Rd1 by another Israeli and Pereira is a top ammy who trains under Matt Brown the Israeli is gonna get mauled by Pereira
Black vs Badara
Badara RD1 KO
Badara is a two time african powerlifting champ and trains at ATT TEAM LIMA and he looks very athletic and muscular and is his opp just looks like a random dad so Badara may be someone to watch out for if he looks good here.

John Sweeney, DEC
Considering Sweeney's strong volume striking, defensive abilities, and experience, it is likely that he will maintain control throughout the fight. While Begosso may have his moments, Sweeney's overall skill set and past performances suggest that he will secure a unanimous decision victory after five rounds of action.
Budka vs. Bekoev
Dylan Budka, DEC
Considering Budka's ability to grind out victories through his wrestling and control, it is likely that he will employ a similar game plan against Bekoev. If Budka can consistently take the fight to the ground and avoid dangerous submissions, he has a higher chance of securing a decision victory.

Event start times are always listed wrong for these regional shows.

CFFC, LFA, Fury and some other regionals are so bad for listing and advertising their start time everywhere as the main card start time. What is the time the of the actual start of this card?

Predictions: 5 of 5 Winners, 2 Perfect, 300 Points | Tied for 361st
I appoint Cameron Kinzig at -165. He has an obscene suplex. Kinzig is about to climb the cutman.
Williams vs. Romious
I fancy Cortavious Romious at -550. He has a faux bicycle kick. Romious ought to fight the humiliating defeat.
Budka vs. Bekoev
I am going with Azamat Bekoev at -350. He has a faux kouchi gari and a qualified sprawl. Bekoev is gonna captivate the crowd noise.
Sweeney vs. Begosso
I predict John Sweeney at -175. He has a glamorous stutter step. Sweeney won't assist the performance. Money in the bank!
Roberts vs. Harrell
I go with Josiah Harrell at -550. He has a quixotic gogoplata and a uppity uppercut. Harrell will embarass the cutman. Beep boop!
