I've been watching Bahram Rajabzadeh at glory. The dude is crazy strong and moves fast.

@Higor 
I am actually going to be staying far away from this fight after some extensive tape on soldatkin. Soldaktin is 1st round or bust.

If Piazzon was even somewhat decent, we would have at least 1 legitimate fight of his available to watch.

It's borderline unethical to put this fat punching bag in a cage with a trained opponent. 

I don't care how bad Soldatkin is. At least we have proof he's fought living human beings.

@Demigod_Dan

Rajabzadeh is a total beast, love to watch that guy, but he's like 32, I don't know if he can realistically make successful transition to MMA now, plus he's pretty small for a HW, I think he weighed in at like 102Kg for last bout which is around 225Lbs and he's 6'1 so isn't that tall for a HW, regardless, he's a Beast

Barlow vs. Forest
Danny Barlow, TKO, R1
Odds look good for fight.. Raheam looks better overall but I'm going to bet against his IQ and guess he goes all out first round and and gases or gets caught by a left hand that is sponsored by the man himself.. God!

PERIQUITOOO 🐥

Predictions: 1 of 5 Winners, 0 Perfect, 50 Points   |   Tied for 1189th

Big odds from the Mexican… not fav but he has a lot of chances to win, his fights have more level and he only be knockout from Marcelo Rojo in a bad week, he lost her best friend the fight week, dont make the weight and get his only knockout in less than 2 minuts.

But he win Quiñonez and Zebenzui Ruiz, these two guys are top prospects, Quiñonez for example summit Oliveira easy.

The only top fighter that fight Oliveira are Kaleb and he cleary lose the fight and look like a medium fighter, dont see UFC level in Oliveira.

Oliveira starter his career in brasil in the worst level, he win 10 fight and the combined record of the 10 fighters are 14 wins 27 loses…. 

I dont say that Madrigal is a big bet, but this fight is close and the odds are very up to mexican win…

@Frostline 
judice is a meanmugging chick and a brawler. I like all your picks except for the chicks. Go watch some tape and fights on judice. She’s nice bro. She will win by a knockout stoppage or ud if it goes to the judges which I don’t see happening. Rest of your fight picks I agree with.

Mario +305 prospect

Predictions: 3 of 5 Winners, 0 Perfect, 150 Points   |   Tied for 749th

I fear the ground game of Mario more than the stand up of Soldatkin... 
Soldatkin is indeed 1st round or bust. Let me go for the more complete HW in Mario Piazzon.

First round Soldatkin puts on the pressure with the 1-2s, Mario ducks under it, then goes for a TD (as planned) and lays down some GnP, Soldatkin gets up, less energy, Mario either gets 1 more TD to solidify round 1, or Soldatkin bursts out on Mario (this is Soldatkins only chance to win imo). If Mario survives that onslaught, the round goes to Soldatkin.
Round 2 Mario does a little more than the gassed Soldatkin on the feet. Mixes it up with a td to win rd2.
Rd 3 Soldatkin is nowhere near the same person that showed up in round 1. Mario gets this round clean... 29-28 Mario or a late finish by him...

Silva being that big of a favorite over Pacheco shows nobody watched the tape.

Soldatkin record padded too...

Predictions: 3 of 5 Winners, 0 Perfect, 150 Points   |   Tied for 749th

Soldatkin has faced about 5 legit opponents. 
Their records now are:
15-4, 8-2, 7-2, 7-3 (lost), 16-1 (lost).
He also lost against a middleweight who is 8-6 now. 
All of the other opponents he won against have about as much losses as wins. He has fought a lot of "cans" too...

bro I know and he has a red flag on his last fight. Didn’t even count so that’s not a good sign. Dude beat a 0-0 and the one tape on him he kicks the bums leg than lays on him and dude quits so he is fighting like bum bums 😂 **** I could beat everyone he beat and I smoke lol

@Volkan 
it makes you wonder why this guy got a call to be on this show unless this is a stunt by Vegas to scam mad people out of money because dude is a -500 favorite and he isn’t good either but fought better people and way better people. The other dude fought like kids at a play ground. Actually kids at a playground might be tougher than who he’s beaten. This wouldn’t surprise me at all if it’s a fixed fight for Vegas.
