Waldo being a one dimensional fighter isn’t the worst thing offensively, I think he can get away with it especially at heavyweight, Waldo need to improve his defence in skill that not boxing, especially leg kicks, that give his opponent a easy path to victory with leg kicks

A good one dimensional boxer who can stuff takedown and check leg kicks wouldn’t be bad especially at heavyweight

Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 580 Points   |   Tied for 1001st

Ankalaev vs. Walker II
Magomed Ankalaev, TKO, R4
Magomed is such a fantastic grappler with great striking as well, and I believe he'll combine both of those to get a TKO on the ground against No-Chin Walker.

Nicolau vs. Kape II
Manel Kape, DEC
Kape is just gonna show he is levels ahead of Nicolau here in the rematch.

Miller vs. Benítez
Jim Miller, TKO, R2
LFG A-10

Simón vs. Bautista
Ricky Simón, DEC
Mario Bautista is a horrible can crusher who absolutely lost to Da'Mon Blackshear. Ricky Simón ain't all that either, but there's levels to this.

Hawes vs. Ferreira
Brunno Ferreira, TKO, R1
That paper chin of Hawes is going to get incinerated by the sheer power of Ferreira.

Arlovski vs. Cortes-Acosta
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, DEC
Why, Andrei? Why?

Semelsberger vs. Parsons
Matthew Semelsberger, TKO, R2
Matthew Semelsberger is the real deal. He beat Jeremiah Wells (he got brutally robbed) and showed early success against Medić despite the loss. I am firmly on the Matthew Semelsberger train.

McGhee vs. Bolaños
Marcus McGhee, TKO, R1
I'm telling y'all now, Marcus McGhee is the real deal. I am his number one fan, and he's gonna go out there and demolish this bum.

Basharat vs. Lapilus
Farid Basharat, DEC
Great showcase of talent on both sides here. I believe Basharat will completely control Lapilus on the ground for the majority of the fight. I don't see Farid getting a submission as Lapilus has never been submitted before. Very high level fight.

Wilson vs. Silva
Jean Silva, TKO, R1
What is Westin Wilson doing here?

Nolan vs. Motta
Tom Nolan, TKO, R2
Nikolas Motta hasn't shown me anything impressive. Lost by KO to Jim Miller and Manuel Torres, and lost to Trey Ogden as well (Trey got robbed by the ref). Nolan was super impressive on DWCS, and I believe he has more than enough to get the job done.

Bunes vs. Van
Joshua Van, DEC
Joshua Van is one my absolute favorite prospects at the moment. Huge respect to him for taking this on short notice. Bunes is about to get turned into a big highlight reel.

Good point! He doesn't necessarily need more offensive tools, just defensive and he can could pretty far in the division. Not beat the best guys but he can beat a lot of heavyweights.

I am sure Dana and company are hoping for a hail mary TKO or SUB win by Walker.  Walker vs Jiri/Pereira is very exciting in terms of their fighting styles. As talented as Ankalaev is, he seems to be having a lot of bad luck recently.

Picking a DWCS winner is risky tbh. I learned that from Zac Reese getting KO'd by Cody Brundage

I’ve lost a lot of faith in Semelsberger.. if Parsons can weather the early bombs then he can grind out a gassed Semi for the instant UD

Wilson vs. Silva
Jean Silva, TKO, R2
Nesta vou de Jean Silva! Fiquei impressionado com a performance dele no Contender. Ele é muito completo!!! ademais, enfrentará um atleta muito duro, com um jogo de solo afiadíssimo.

Hawes vs. Ferreira
Brunno Ferreira, TKO, R1
Hawes realistic path for a Win is shoots for a takedown in the first second of the fight, taking advantage of the fact that they will fight at the APEX Center like Pyfer did against Judo Thunder. Ferreira proves against Robocop that during the first round he is still a KO threat for the entire 5 minutes and probably only needs to barely touch Hawes' Chin with a Power Shots to knock him unconscious (like Curtis did against Hawes at UFC 268). Hawes has more weapons on paper, but I think Ferreira should have no problems finishing Hawes whose 5 defeats: 4 have been by KO (3 of them by a Single-Shot KO) and 1 defeat by Club and Sub.

I'm picking Ankalaev to win, he was winning b4 the illegal knee, I'm aware that Walker is still dangerous with his flying knee, elbows & kicks
