Maryna Moroz vs Karine Silva just got announced for this card… So amped for this tickets drop soon, im hopefully going with one of my buddies. Gunna pay an arm & a leg for tickets but **** it, it’s worth it. Legit 3 of my favorite fighters are already on the card (Suga, Robocop & Rob Font) so I straight up cannot miss this one. Also Calvin Kattar I would assume will be on this card/PPV too which is ******* sick.

Predictions: 4 of 8 Winners, 0 Perfect, 230 Points   |   Tied for 5416th

Sterling vs. O'Malley
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R3
Sterling is probably the better fighter of the two, but his terrible fight IQ coopled with the lethal finishing skills of his opponent lead me to pick O'Malley by KO after a few tough rounds..

Weidman vs. Tavares
Brad Tavares, TKO, R2
Weidman had a great career, he should stay retired. I don't see this fight going well for him at all, even before his horrific leg injury he was looking bad, since the Rockhold beatdown in fact. Tavares, on the other side, is winning some and losing some, looking exactly lthe same since his UFC debut, wich is okay. He should be able to finish Weidman pretty easily here.

Rodrigues vs. Tiuliulin
Gregory Rodrigues, TKO, R2
Gregory Rodrigues is always so fun to watch, weirdly slow and stiff but insanely tough and powerful.

Ian Garry VS Geoff Neal

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 525 Points   |   Tied for 3324th

Ian Garry, DEC
Gary will get caught in this fight for sure. Big step up in comp I know he wanted to go with Neil Magny next but he clearly wants to stay active and magny has a fight booked. Ian has a championship mindset learning all sorts of different things from different gyms, I see him staying slick on the outside and moving well away from the power of Neal. This one is close.

Damn this should be a great fight. I think this may be to big of a step up for Garry but I’m excited none the less. We are getting 3 stacked PPVs in a row. We need it after the week 289 card.

@BriggsH 
I agree 100% especially on Ian Garry’s mindset, you can tell he has the ability to absorb knowledge and technique, and he wants to learn. He’s improved so much since his debut the skies the limit if he keeps improving.

For the first time I am not that sure about Garry no more. I got a feeling IF Neal will catch him like Song did he won't stand up anymore.

And I got to add that Geoffrey ALMOST survived three rounds(less than one minute was left) with Shavkat which is something.

But lets see, it's MMA.

Weidman vs. Tavares
Chris Weidman, DEC
Just wishful thinking bc Weidman needs something good to happen since been rough after breaking leg

Font vs. Song
Yadong Song, DEC
Don't see Song being able to finish Font

Neal vs. Machado Garry
Geoff Neal, TKO, R2
If Geoff Neal can finish Luque I'm sure that Ian will fold too.

Meerschaert vs. Petroski
Andre Petroski, TKO, R2
Might be too soon for Meerschaert to come back from Pyfer KO

Rodrigues vs. Tiuliulin
Gregory Rodrigues, TKO, R2
Robocop by violence

Moroz vs. Silva
Karine Silva, SUB, R1
Silva with another quick sub

Lee vs. Silva
Natália Silva, SUB, R2
I like KGB but Natália is gonna be fighting for the belt in the near future (by early 2025). Hopefully they don't match her with Karine anytime soon bc that would be an awesome #1 contenders fight

loving this card. everyone ive heard that thinks ian garry is gonna lose says its cause his defense isnt good enough and he gets hit too much but i think hes one of the highest iq fighters weve seen in awhile. im sure he knows its his biggest problem after the kenan song fight and has been working on it

(also with him going to so many gyms and learning from so many great coaches theres no way one of them wouldnt say something about it)

That's such a dumb fight. How can they give chito a higher ranked guy than sandhagen & have sandhagen fight the #11 undefeated prospect. It should be sandhagen vs cejudo and chito vs Umar but the ufc are a bunch of dumb meatheads
