Attacking him? You're mistaken. Where did I attack him?
Show me. I was very complimentary.
I think he is a genius. Just like me.

Holloway vs. Jung
Max Holloway, TKO, R4
The UFC is doing TKZ dirty here. They should've gave him a winnable fight for his possible retirement fight but he's gonna get absolutely lit up and his comer needs to be ready to throw that towel in.
Smith vs. Spann II
Anthony Smith, SUB, R1
Smith wins again via club and sub. Spann is terrible and even though Smith hasn't looked himself I still think he wins the rematch again with ease. Smith will break him again.
Chikadze vs. Caceres
Alex Caceres, SUB, R2
Giga puts on a clinic in the first with his striking and then Alex says that's enough and he closes the distance and subs Giga after taking his back. Giga got subbed by Austin Springer that's all you need to know. This guy is super overrated.
Nakamura vs. Garcia
Rinya Nakamura, TKO, R1
*** is Fernie doing and why did his manager agree to this? It shouldn't be sanctioned. Rinya by anything. Look at a past fight from Fernie in the UFC. He shouldn't be in here with this guy.
Blanchfield vs. Santos
Erin Blanchfield, DEC
Extremely close fight and it'll be a very fun one. I'm gonna roll with Blanchfield here to get the job done but I'm not sleeping on Santos who arguably beat Shevchenko. I could see a split or something like that.
Tafa vs. Porter
Junior Tafa, TKO, R1
Porter doesn't have amazing wrestling so when he closes the distance I expect Tafa to just wreck him with as many strikes as possible before he can even attempt a takedown and I see Porter falling. If Porter does get this down though then watch out cause Tafa is done.
Cortes-Acosta vs. Brzeski
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, DEC
I think both of these guys absolutely suck but I'll take Acosta just to stay on the outside and pick Brzeski apart for 3 rounds. They'll be another time to pick against Acosta but it's not here due to the fact that Lukasz has embarrassing cardio.
Kazama vs. Armfield
Garrett Armfield, DEC
Armfield needs to stay safe from any submissions and if he does I think he can outwrestle Kazama with ease and even out-strike him.
Njokuani vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R2
I think Michal is gonna hurt Chidi really bad at some point and then he will get on top to finish with the ground and pound but this fight is extremely close and both guys will be gassed by the second round.
Song vs. Bedoya
Rolando Bedoya, TKO, R3
Bedoya will put on a striking clinic and get Song out of there. Song is legit one of the worst UFC fighters we've seen in a while and even though he dropped Ian Garry he's still bad and has nothing besides a bit of power but Bedoya went 3 rounds with a more powerful guy in Williams.
Kino****a vs. Goff
Billy Goff, TKO, R1
Billy Goff is a dog. He has heart and won't give up unless you put him completely out. Goff can go to his wrestling if he really needs to and I think he's going to give Kino****a a bunch of problems if Kino****a doesn't know him out early. Kino****a losing to Fugitt wasn't the greatest look just because his wrestling and tdd wasn't the best.
Liang vs. Aldrich
JJ Aldrich, DEC
Liang is pretty dangerous in round 1 but for like one minute. Aldrich wins this fight however she wants.
Choi vs. Errens
Seung Woo Choi, DEC
I think Choi can piece Errens up throughout 3 rounds. I really like Choi because you can see the skills he has even though he has had his struggles in the UFC. Errens will probably be a UFC washout if we're being honest.

OddSmokerSteve I am gambling my entire life savings on Jarno Errens winning by Knockout.
if I do not win you won't see me on the forums for a while, since I will be living in poverty and I will not have access to internet or even a warm house anymore.

Holloway vs. Jung
Max Holloway, TKO, R3
korean zombie has a hood chin don’t get me wrong but he’s not responsive enough for a fight with max holloway but it’s gonna be exciting while it lasts, with max just pouring it on jung and the zombie will not have an answer for it and it ends up against the fence halfway through the fight with max stopping zombie via referee stoppage
Smith vs. Spann II
Anthony Smith, SUB, R3
this gonna be an extremely hard fight for spann as he’ll go for the ko early but gasses late in the second third round i see smith getting a submission or a dominant round 3
Chikadze vs. Caceres
Alex Caceres, DEC
caceres a vettt but on the top of his game yusuff is not a bad loss and the way giga got exposed against katter was monsterous i see alex losing and i see giga losing its great matchmaking alex definitely being underestimated here
Nakamura vs. Garcia
Rinya Nakamura, TKO, R2
garcia having 3 losses all decisions could benefit him here but mak amira has incredible finishing ability that fernie has never seen rinya will start slow but finish strong maybe a decision but i highly doubt it rinya eats
Blanchfield vs. Santos
Taila Santos, DEC
the most interesting women’s matchup i’ve seen in so long both these girls are so talented blanchfeild finishing andrade is crazy but santos would too i got santos winning a spit/majority decision
Tafa vs. Porter
Junior Tafa, TKO, R1
no struggle from tafa he’ll do what braxton couldnt i see this ending so brutally if herb dean refs it
Cortes-Acosta vs. Brzeski
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, DEC
cortes-acosta really let me down in his last matchup but definitely is still on my radar, i’ve hated brezeski since dwcs, why he was signed is beyond me but i love seeing him get smashed so keep it going!
Kazama vs. Armfield
Garrett Armfield, DEC
todhiomi isn’t necessarily bad but did not earn a 2 or more fight contract not only that he got signed to road to ufc coming off a loss to a 2-2 via flying knee armfeild eats

Holloway vs. Jung
Max Holloway
No comment needed.
Blanchfield vs. Santos
Erin Blanchfield
They both fought Molly McCann, the difference is that one went to a decision with Molly... while the other absolutely ******* annihilated her. I think people are reading too much into Taila's fight against Shevchenko, who had already entered the declining phase of her career by the time that fight took place. Blanchfield has been surging on a better strength of schedule. I predict this will be a wakeup call for a lot of fans.
Njokuani vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michał Oleksiejczuk
Oleksiejczuk by KO/TKO or Decision. Chidi's tentativeness in his last fight against Duraev gave me mental illness. Barring some freak knockout (which has never happened to Oleksiejczuk), Oleksiejczuk is most likely to take this one.

But isnt journey a good striker too? With rinya knocking out these people whos main skill isnt striking wouldnt that lead him into striking with a striker getting him kod? I feel his best bet is wrestling for the win?

If Fernie were a finisher, maybe, but the guy has a single TKO win and routinely went to SDs in LFA against subpar competition. It's a layup for Rinya that won't tell us much.
