Ankalaev vs. Walker II
Johnny Walker, TKO, R2
Why not, now that there is some real tension between those two, it adds a lot to this matchup. Poor Ankalaev tho, his UFC career is getting weirder and weirder. He looked a bit foolish when he got angry at Walker after HE landed the blatant illegal shot. I hope he loses this in brutal fashion, as a humbling lesson.

Arlovski vs. Cortes-Acosta
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, TKO, R2
It would be awesome if Arlovski still has a close controversial grinding split decision win in him, but I'm afraid it's the end of this legendary late resurgence.

Basharat vs. Lapilus
Taylor Lapilus, DEC
Interesting fight. Lapilus is technically great, and kind of an athletic freak with good reach and super long legs (his leg kicks are some of the best in the division IMO), but he really lacks some urgency, power and killer instinct to climb in the rankings. He's still a work in progress tho, and this fight against a dangerous and promising Basharat will answer a lot of questions to me.

Predictions: 13 of 13 Pending   |   Tied for 1st with 458 others

Ankalaev vs. Walker II
Magomed Ankalaev, TKO, R3
Walker showed big improvements especially in his fight against Smith. More calculated, not mindlessly trying to get that KO in R1. But Anklaev is too tough, I see Walker with more patience, enough patience to get thru the first two rounds but getting KO'd in the 3rd or 4th round. Magomed too dangerous and Walker's chin not to be trusted

Simón vs. Bautista
Mario Bautista, DEC
Bautista on the way to the top

Nicolau vs. Kape II
Manel Kape, DEC
Trusting Kape hard here

Hawes vs. Ferreira
Brunno Ferreira, TKO, R1
Hawes is a good striker but that chin not holding up

Hafiz did well against JDM. I'm gonna back him to bounce back with a good W. Via sub or dec.
