Magomed Ankalaev, DEC
I think Ankalaev wins by decision with wrestling,
Arlovski vs. Cortes-Acosta
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, TKO, R1
I think Andrei Arlovski will lose by knockout, and if he does, I think he should retire.
McGhee vs. Bolaños
Marcus McGhee, SUB, R1
This looks like an easy win for Marcus Mcghee

Magomed Ankalaev, DEC
I hope Walker pulls it off. For now I’m going with Ankalaev though, he’s the more composed striker and he has some strong wrestling to fall back on.
Simón vs. Bautista
Ricky Simón, SUB, R2
I’m a fan of Bautista, but his win streak consists of some of the weakest BW names rn like Guido Cannetti and Kelleher. He’s got decent striking and good grappling, but I think Simon is going to look way stronger than him in. I think he’s the better wrestler and top player - for now I’m going with Simon via club and sub.
Hawes vs. Ferreira
Brunno Ferreira, TKO, R1
Hawes’ last 3 losses have been brutal knockouts. I think he’s on the decline and Ferreira carries serious power.
Arlovski vs. Cortes-Acosta
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, TKO, R1
Arlovski is shot unfortunately. Watching him lose to Don’Tale Mayes is one of the most depressing things I’ve ever seen.

Magomed Ankalaev, TKO, R2
Ankalaev was dominating the last fight until the illegal knee so I fully expect him to win again but his fight IQ is so bad sometimes its hard to trust him.
Nicolau vs. Kape II
Manel Kape, DEC
Could go either way but I'm leaning Kape
Miller vs. Benítez
Jim Miller, DEC
Miller's striking and wrestling advantage should get him the W
Vieira vs. Chiasson
Ketlen Vieira, DEC
Viera is more well rounded
Simón vs. Bautista
Mario Bautista, DEC
A lot of people sleeping on Bautista
Hawes vs. Ferreira
Brunno Ferreira, TKO, R1
Hawes has one of the worst chins in the UFC so I'll go with the power puncher
Arlovski vs. Cortes-Acosta
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, DEC
Arlovski is 44 now and on the decline so we should see a Waldo win even though he isn't that good either
Semelsberger vs. Parsons
Matthew Semelsberger, TKO, R2
Parson's has no gas tank
McGhee vs. Bolaños
Marcus McGhee, TKO, R2
McGhee by KO
Basharat vs. Lapilus
Farid Basharat, DEC
Could be fight of the night, Lapilus showed good TDD in his last fight but Basharat looks to be another level
Wilson vs. Silva
Jean Silva, DEC
Silva should not be -800 but I'll go with him
Bunes vs. Bondar
Felipe Bunes, DEC
Mid off
Nolan vs. Motta
Tom Nolan, TKO, R1
Setup fight for a Nolan showcase

Don’t disagree, Women Batamweight is pretty bad, all the talent in WMMA is in 125 and 115

Fun fact: Sjara Eubanks, a Flyweight with a .500 overall record, has as many wins in the UFC at bantamweight as Norma Dumont and Chelsea Chandler do combined, both of whom are ranked.
