Predictions: 11 of 17 Winners, 4 Perfect, 710 Points | Tied for 397th
James Gonzalez, DEC
Lol can’t wait to see Gallagher humbled by Gonzalez who has really good wins against really good comp. Gallagher has beaten meh comp, but his wrestling got exposed by Mix. I think Gonzalez will also expose him.
Brennan vs. Almeida
Lucas Brennan, DEC
Brennan has some of the best BJJ I’ve seen in the sport, but I think Almeida can take him the distance.
Barzola vs. Bates
Enrique Barzola, DEC
Love Bates as a prospect, but it’s too early for him to face someone like Barzola.
Silva vs. Shakalova
Ekaterina Shakalova, DEC
Shakalova is one of my favorite WFW prospects, she has a deadly RNC, but Dayana Silva is no slouch. Shakalova will likely win, and it will be a great win to put on her resume.
Cauley vs. Salim
Sullivan Cauley, TKO, R1
Bellator’s back to feeding cans to Cauley I see.
Davis vs. Cruz
Aalon Cruz, DEC
I really don’t get why Davis is the favorite here. He constantly gets pressured by his opponents and his strategy consists of constantly looking for counters. The UFC missed out on Cruz, because they fed him to some really good comp, instead of being patient with him. From what I’ve seen of Cruz, his strategy relies on pressure wrestling and he’s also a pretty good striker. I don’t think Alfie Davis wins this fight unless he actually puts up offense outside of his counters. Cruz gets an easy UD.
Higo vs. Mikhailov
Leandro Higo, SUB, R1
I’m a big Higo fan, he has such a lethal combination of striking and BJJ. Mikhailov’s smothering style is not gonna work on someone like Higo. I think Higo will use his BJJ to throw up a sub off his back and win in the first.
Hodge vs. Alves
Jerrell Hodge, DEC
This is gonna be a really fun fight. Hodge is a really good boxer who attacks from all angles, and is a former LFA champ. Alves is also a pretty good boxer with a lot of power in his hands, as he has 8 career KOs, 5 of them in Round 1. This one could be the best fight on the card. Give me Hodge by UD though, because of his championship experience, and I think Hodge’s volume will outdo Alves’ power. This could be a great fight though.

also think Justine can get this one done via decision as Diana taking really bad comp to splits.. Justine is bad but she’s took good fighters to splits and also beaten good fighters
