Perez and Pudilova both looked drained at weigh ins. Perez showed up with a black eye and half a pound over and Pudilova forgot what to do with her hands for a second. Looked like Ricky Bobby up there

Ribas vs. Pinheiro
I select Amanda Ribas at -240. She has a woebegone back mount. Ribas isn't about to implement the cycle. No doubt!
Allen vs. Craig
I am all about Brendan Allen at -435. He has a noble takedown. Allen shall zonk the corner man.
Talbott vs. Aguirre
I am with Payton Talbott at -775. He has a resilient knife hand block. Talbott ought to cheat the rival.
Motta vs. Ogden
I finger Nikolas Motta at -135. He has a quick full nelson. Motta is gonna captivate the unthinkable.
Pudilová vs. Perez
I want Ailin Perez at -190. She has a ruthless dragon sleeper. Perez isn't about to blast the humiliating defeat.
Parkin vs. Machado
I take Mick Parkin at -360. He has an illogical sprawl. Parkin ought to unsettle the natural order.
Matthews vs. Morales
I go for Michael Morales at -305. He has a decent mentality. Morales shall quiet the counteragent. Заруби ceбe на носу!
Pearce vs. Brito
I have got Jonathan Pearce at -130. He has a casual dim mak. Pearce will escape the foe. Trust me!
Johnson vs. Estevam
I crave Rafael Estevam at -145. He has an egregious training style. Estevam could tweak the Octagon. Truth!
Anheliger vs. Johnson
I can't get enough of Jose Johnson at -190. He has a killer bolo punch and a trendy vulcan nerve pinch. Johnson will likely tackle the feat.
Leavitt vs. Hooper
I am going with Chase Hooper at -220. He has a tremendous counter left and a perfect dim mak. Hooper might vaporize the adversary.
Alexander vs. Saragih
I select Lucas Alexander at -530. He has a casual uppercut and a perfect fight IQ. Alexander shall weaken the masterpiece.
Medic vs. Orolbai
I believe in Myktybek Orolbai at -150. He has an odd touch of death. Orolbai is gonna bake the opposing forces.
Duncan vs. Tiuliulin
I take Christian Leroy Duncan at -385. He has a brilliant head coach and a woebegone heart stomp. Duncan isn't about to gargle the production.

Duncan vs. Tiuliulin
Christian Leroy Duncan, DEC
Losing to Petrosyan is not a bad loss, that man is a killer.
Parkin vs. Machado
Mick Parkin, DEC
Parkin has an actual win in the Big Show so I'd go with that
Alexander vs. Saragih
Jeka Saragih, TKO, R2
Not sure why I think this but I think Saragih is gonna bounce back.
Pudilová vs. Perez
Ailin Perez, DEC
I'm gonna pick the one that doesn't have a a journeywoman's record despite being the same age as her opponent.
Motta vs. Ogden
Nikolas Motta, DEC
Could go either way but I gotta go with Motta, Xtreme Couture makes some fighters
Johnson vs. Estevam
Rafael Estevam, DEC
Typical undefeated Brazilian prospect pick

Allen vs. Craig
Brendan Allen, TKO, R3
craig just never seems defensively responsible and allen might be a bad matchup in that he's probably a better striker on top of being a legitimate bjj player in his own right. short version: i don't trust craig.
Matthews vs. Morales
Michael Morales, DEC
seems like morales comes with more volume and jake hasn't been as eager to wrestle over the past few years.
Leavitt vs. Hooper
Chase Hooper, DEC
gonna need to see huge improvement's from hooper before i stop doubting his striking ability, but it's hard to say how mentally there leavitt will be given his interviews about his wife's pregnancy. wanted to take leavitt as an underdog, but he always seems to be fighting out of his opponent's gameplans and i think chase will get a few minutes of backpack time when he makes mistakes.
Talbott vs. Aguirre
Payton Talbott, DEC
seems lined up for talbott. aguirre looked raw in his debut so i'm gonna go with what feels like a setup.
Ribas vs. Pinheiro
Amanda Ribas, DEC
feeling like the early boxing will be indicative of how it ends up. if ribas can get comfortable without getting cracked then i think she can stick and move.
Medic vs. Orolbai
Uros Medic, TKO, R2
looks to be high action early. gonna take medic because i'm a little skeptical of orolbai's quality of competition.
Pearce vs. Brito
Joanderson Brito, TKO, R2
the early tie-ups will be telling, i don't think pearce wants to trade with brito and i'm not sure he's gonna be able to get past the sprawls.
Anheliger vs. Johnson
Jose Johnson, DEC
seems like either guy could win this just based off shooting td's, but with neither guy seemingly interested in doing so it'll be a striking battle where both wanna be usually. in which case, i gotta take johnson just based on age & range.
Duncan vs. Tiuliulin
Christian Leroy Duncan, TKO, R1
gonna need to see more than a win over pickett before i start thinking that denis belongs here. seems like a bounceback opportunity for duncan.
Parkin vs. Machado
Mick Parkin, TKO, R2
not really impressed with either guy's resume, gonna come down to who can mix it up more and push the volume.
Alexander vs. Saragih
Lucas Alexander, DEC
seems like it'll be primarily striking and not sure there's gonna be a finish so i'll take the guy that has seen scorecards more than once and won them all.
Pudilová vs. Perez
Lucie Pudilová, DEC
i can't see lucie being as much of a pushover as smith was in the grappling and if she's able to stuff a few attempts she could very well turn this into a kb fight so i'll take a chance here and say the scale issues affect perez.
Motta vs. Ogden
Trey Ogden, DEC
ogden's never been ko'd and never ko'd anyone, motta has only been subbed once. sounds like motta is gonna come aggressive and either lands big to get early respect or overextends and gets cupgrinded.
Johnson vs. Estevam
Rafael Estevam, DEC
it's gonna be on johnson to prevent his opponents from trying to exploit his tdd, seems like estevam is up to the task.
Brendan Allen, TKO, R3

I don't trust Brendo or Pauli here Bren was cowering at staredown then 5 steps back mumbles keep that energy don't pull guard lol.
IF he thought he could win in BJJ why would he say that, is it all mind games holy **** these guys are making this one a bettor nightmare.
Maybe the closest matchup in a long time Bren better striking better defense Craig strength cardio.

Medic vs. Orolbai
Uros Medic, TKO, R2
Pelo que parece o Orolbai tem um estilo de luta que pode complicar para o Medic. Mas vejo o Sérvio como o favorito para vencer este combate.

Predictions: 10 of 14 Winners, 2 Perfect, 575 Points | Tied for 1132nd
Only reason she didn’t win because she did nothing on top in round 1 and the judges gave Edwards that round based on damage. judges ain’t favoring lay and prey over damage nearly as much anymore, and In fact, a lot of the biggest ‘robbery’ recently has be lay and prey fighters losing because they gave it to damage
Also, kinda funny they punished Edwards for the same thing in her next fight
