Damn Andrade should be taking the rest of the yr off bc she started the yr good and then it just went downhill.

Frevola vs. Saint-Denis

If they're not gonna add any fights to the main card hopefully they put BSD vs frevola and sabatini vs lopes on the card. I have a feeling they're gonna add schnell vs erceg & Gordon vs madsen instead

@Mothswords 
Yeah I definitely hope for Frevola vs BSD on the main card as well. I think most likely they will open the main card, then either Sabatini vs Lopez or Schnell vs Erceg and after that Andrade vs Dern. Gordon vs Madsen would be a good one to finish off the prelims. Even if no other fight was added to the main card that would be pretty solid.

according to ESPN (which tends to be correct) both Frevola/BSD & Sabatini/Lopes on the main card. Not sure how I feel bout the latter...personally I think Ricci/Loopy is worthy enough to open the main

 if that's the case, although this is a very good card, is this really as stacked as it could be for the promotion's 30th anniversary perennial event? Im not gonna complain about it but I just thought before that they would add maybe one more big one to finish if off

Most lacking in this card is honestly the start of main card, most of those names you could stick on other PPV prelims.

So do kinda agree with that, tho having the HW and LHW title in the same night is pretty insane

I would love to see another big name on that card as well considering the card being the 30th anniversary card and expected the lineup to be more like UFC 296. But just for Jones vs Miocic and Prochazka vs Pereira I won‘t complain at all if there isn‘t. I think this is one of these cards where it turns out in a couple years how great it really was. Besides Jones this card has 9 fighters who have one loss max. So I guess we got a few guys on this card who will rise big in the upcoming years.

I have a feeling Dern gets KTFO here.  Andrade got tapped out to Suarez and Blanchfield who are both top notch offensive wrestlers. Dern has zero offensive wrestling, that's the difference between her and Saurez/Blanchfield.  Unless Andrade makes a stupid mistake and lets Dern somehow grab a limb in a scramble, I think she can finish Dern via knockout.

Dern hasn't been able to get a submission as the competition has grown tougher.  She's also as one dimensional of a fighter as it gets.  She has zero striking ability.  I will give her credit though she definately has a chin but if anyone can test that chin, it's Andrade.

Dern's striking was improved against Hill last time out & was actually presenting a threat with it. It's not 'fantastically technical' but if you throw heat that's dangerous anyone can get hurt, especially if it's a means to grappling exchanges.
Also, she has been training with Cejudo recently to get her wrestling chops up. This is a different Dern

I’m not sure how you can have faith in Andrade anymore. She’s fighting for paychecks atp & is fighting every three months without making any improvements; she just keeps taking fights thinking eventually she will win. It’s not like she’s losing decisions either, she’s getting finished in every fight

Blanchfield top-notch offensive-level wrestler ? Nah, mate, I gotta disagree with it. 

She has great grappling skills, but her wrestling is nowhere near the level of Suarez's, for example. 

Although Dern's wrestling is not that good, her striking is getting a little bit better fight after fight. And to be honest, Andrade doesn't seem that she has it anymore.

I felt like Dern striking has been underrated for a while now, her wrestling is what letting her down, not her striking, Dern rarely get her opponent multiple times to the ground, if she didn’t had mid striking, she be a pure BJJ fighters and those suck

This person almost ktfo Andrade on accident. Errin Cole Blood Blanchfield.

Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 0 Perfect, 330 Points   |   Tied for 4636th

She then grappled and subbed with ease.
Andrade is an odd case being wmma* it all looks like gimp flailing but there are levels of skill and Andrade is not anywhere you can say is an advantage aside from maybe power if can land.
Derm will probably do the same not that she is as good a Erin but Andre is washed and was never that good got lucky and won via cheating.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 430 Points   |   Tied for 3305th

Frevola vs. Saint-Denis
Benoit Saint-Denis, SUB, R2
This is straight up in my Top 3 fights on this entire card tbh. ABSOLUTE BANGER RIGHT HERE! If you're not good at betting at all, one thing is for certain: someone is going down hard. With that being said, Saint-Denis' finishing ability is fr wild and would more so lean on him to get the finish even w/ Frevola's explosiveness. Both have had great recent performances, but no one saw Benoit out grappling Moises as good as he did back in Paris. I see Benoit getting Frevola to the ground and trying not to brawl on the feet w/ him & eventually leading into an Arm Triangle SUB in RD 2. Again, don't be shocked to see Frevola get a KO win here, but I just feel that Saint-Denis is smarter than to be someone to get into a slug-fest w/ Matt Frevola of all fighters.

Ricci vs. Godinez
Tabatha Ricci, DEC
Yet another WMMA DEC taking place here. Just as before, not much to talk about here and its hard to predict who's going to win even with the competition they've both faced. My mind automatically picks Godinez, but the two losses to Luana Carolina & Jessica Pene really is not something good to have on your resume but she clearly has learned from them. Wouldn't be surprised to see either woman get the win here. Kinda like the wins on Ricci's record more than Godinez's tbh, but my pick might change, who knows & who really cares lmao.

Kang vs. Castañeda
John Castañeda, DEC
Not much to say with this one tbh. I see a DEC win here from either fighter for sure, and lean more towards Castaneda getting the victory win here due to the competition he's faced no matter which side he's come out on. The DEC loss to Nathaniel Wood isn't the worst thing to happen and at least didn't get finished, and Wood is a name that pops up at me right away considering the streak he's been on as of late.

Nov. 11th we will see if Cejudo's lessons pay off for Dern. Only way I could go with Andrade anymore is if she fights a bum.

Additionally you gotta wonder if Andrade has CTE. She legit blamed her loss to Blanchfield on a wardrobe malfunction (a ridiculous excuse) especially if she actually believes what she said

The UFC showed the main card for 295 yesterday during 294, so I guess it‘s official:

Jones vs Miocic
Prochazka vs Pereira
Sabatini vs Lopez
Andrade vs Dern
Frevola vs Saint-Denis
