Nice writeup.
I thought Torres beat Noehlin Hernandez but it was more of a bad decision than robbery. Hernandez won the first round by pressuring Torres who seemed hesitant due to the power of Hernandez. In the second and third round Torres took over and outworked Hernandez and won both rounds pretty clearly I thought.

Ruffy has the best chance to upset out of the other three but I don’t trust his chin. You really want to justify picking against the two bahrani’s? You would be an idiot to do so

Rodolfo Bellato, TKO, R2
I think Talha will be undersized here and Bellato will be able to keep it on the feet long enough to hurt Talha. If Talha gets him down, then that could be a problem, but I don't think it'll be that easy. Bellato looked great against Petrino until he threw that dumb spinning backfist and got caught.
Torres vs. Silva
Victor Hugo Silva, SUB, R2
I don't get why the odds are so close. Silva has faced the much better competition AND looked better against lower level competition. I think he's got more power, infinitely better ground game, and I think he'll get a sub. My only worry is that it might go late and he'll gas. Torres makes dumb decisions that cause him to get taken down or his back taken by low level guys, and I don't think he has the power to hurt Silva on the feet, unless Silva gets lazy with a shot and eats a knee.
Gadzhiyasulov vs. Medina
Magomed Gadzhiyasulov, TKO, R1
Gadzhi R1 easy. Medina shouldn't be here and that'll be pretty apparent quickly. My only question: R1 KO or SUB?
