Dolidze vs. Imavov
Roman Dolidze, DEC
if sean vs dricus showed us anything, it's that the weightclasses above 170 don't really care about technique as much as they do just being a workhorse. imavov is probably the cleaner fighter, but i think roman is more currently primed to fight the top of the division with his physicality.
Moicano vs. Dober
Renato Moicano, SUB, R2
feeling like renato can hang in the striking without overcommitting and eventually identify a mistake and find the back for a rnc like he did in his last 5 victories.
Brown vs. Salikhov
Randy Brown, DEC
unsure salikhov will be able to deal with the range. possible he wants to wrestle instead, but i could see randy finding his way back to his feet.
Araujo vs. Silva
Natália Silva, DEC
age & momentum. vivi could change levels and try to make it a grapple, but i'll say silva can more effectively stick & move.
Khizriev vs. Muradov
Aliaskhab Khizriev, SUB, R2
not sure what to make of khizriev yet, the tiuliulin win doesn't prove much to me and it's already been nearly 2 years since that, on top of the fact that he's only had 1 other fight in the past 5 years. very possible he just doesn't look sharp or tires quick and muradov can stuff td's/disengage to force the standup. he did get taken down by both gerald and caio though so i'll stick with the dagestani.
Urbina vs. Radtke
Gilbert Urbina, SUB, R2
not sure what to make of this one, but it kinda looks like they've been trying to build gilbert a bit. if accurate, he has a huge size advantage over radtke so i think this is his fight to lose unless charles gets some early respect with power shots and make gilbert pay when closing the distance.
McCann vs. Belbiţă
Molly McCann, DEC
belbita's win-list just isn't convincing enough to make me think the matchup goes too much differently than the first. i'm not sure diana's ground game has evolved enough to make molly pay for td attempts.
Johnson vs. Maksum
Azat Maksum, DEC
the story of charles johnson will always be "can he stay on his feet this time?" azat clearly has the wrestling game to give him issues, the question is just can he maintain the energy output and still find td entries later in the fight? charles hasn't shown much ability to keep his distance to force the boxing so it seems like a stylistically favorable matchup for maksum.
Gorimbo vs. Rodriguez
Themba Gorimbo, SUB, R1
look, i have my reservations about themba as well, he's very clearly someone that's still super raw that they're trying to push because of his story and now "friendship" with lame dwayne, but pete doesn't even belong here. he's high action and all, but the reality is that his spot is just a favor to masvidal. he'll swing hard for 3 min and then find a way to self-destruct.
Bilder vs. Lee
Jeong Yeong Lee, DEC
bilder just hasn't been able to utilize his takedown game much and lee's significant size/reach advantage is gonna force him to really cover distance for his striking/grappling entries. i feel like he's gonna get clipped doing so or just get stuck outside.
Stoliarenko vs. Carolina
Luana Carolina, DEC
carolina has been taken down by her last 5 opponents and looked awful on the scale, but julija hasn't won a ufc fight where she landed 10 or more strikes. i'll say carolina doesn't get immediately armbarred and i guess that means she can work on building a striking differential? if she loses then i guess i'll be happy for julija and glad that scale misses get punished.
Mederos vs. Quiñones
MarQuel Mederos, TKO, R2
not sure what to make of things here, but mederos being a factoryx guy has me thinking landon is gonna prefer to wrestle here. question will be how early he can get close and how often he can create safe openings to shoot. i'll guess low kicks hamper that plan and he gets stuck striking.
Petersen vs. Pogues
Thomas Petersen, TKO, R1
gonna be a battle to see who can get on top. not sure pogues will have td success and petersen seems to have a little more pop.

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 450 Points | Tied for 995th
Dolidze vs. Imavov
Roman Dolidze, SUB, R2
Just running through my picks in brief. Cool fight. Imavov is more technical and neat, but Dolidze has aggression and power. And the finishing upside is going to be mainly with Dolidze. Both have cardio issues and Imavov does not react well to pressure like in the 3rd round of the Buckley fight. Also if this hits the ground, I think Dolidze is levels above. I think Dolidze gets a finish at some point even though Imavov may be winning the minutes.
Moicano vs. Dober
Renato Moicano, SUB, R2
Dober is always live for a KO, but Moicano's striking and defense has improved. And at some point I see him finding Dobers back and getting the choke.
Brown vs. Salikhov
Randy Brown, DEC
Salikhov seems to be on the decline, and Brown is massive with a huge reach advantage. I think he just pieces Salikhov apart from the outside, and if Muslim tries to wrestle he will gas out.
Araujo vs. Silva
Natália Silva, DEC
Araujo could get takedowns, in fact I think she will. But Silva should stay safe from submissions and get up. And on the feet Silva's pressure and volume should just be too much. I see Araujo fading late with that pressure and SIlva either winning a decision or getting a late finish
Khizriev vs. Muradov
Aliaskhab Khizriev, SUB, R1
Muradov has improved his offensive wrestling but he can get taken down, and Khizriev should get him down early here and get a sub
Urbina vs. Radtke
Gilbert Urbina, DEC
Urbina is bigger and should be able to get Radtke down. I am not a fan of Radtke and think he is outmatched here
McCann vs. Belbiţă
Molly McCann, DEC
I think Molly is just going to be too physical. Even though Belbita is improving I think Molly will still get the takedowns and brawl close to win. My main concern for her is if Belbita gets knees in the clinch or even catches a submission on the ground. This fight could go either way.
Johnson vs. Maksum
Azat Maksum, DEC
Johnson does not seem to have stopping power, and even though I am not that impressed with Azat (I bet Nam big on his debut and almost won), you have to remember that Nam had never been taken down in the UFC before. I think Azat gets Johnson down and rinses and repeats. Unless Johnson comes out aggressive and firing heavy (which could happen) then Azat should take this
Gorimbo vs. Rodriguez
Pete Rodriguez, TKO, R1
I know there is not much tape on Pete, but the very little regional footage to me showed enough to think he could defend the sloppy takedowns of Gorimbo and catch him
Bilder vs. Lee
Jeong Yeong Lee, DEC
I think Lee gets up when taken down and wins a decision on the feet
Stoliarenko vs. Carolina
Julija Stoliarenko, SUB, R1
Julija is so aggressive nowadays with her forward pressure and will sell out for the takedown. I think she gets Carolina down and subs her
Mederos vs. Quiñones
MarQuel Mederos, DEC
Fantastic fight. But I think Mederos wins by staying on the outside and picking Quinones apart. Close one
Petersen vs. Pogues
Jamal Pogues, DEC
Peterson has good takedowns, but I think he has problems keeping people down and his ground and pound and submissions really don't seem to be as effective as it looks first up. I think Pogues weathers the storm, keeps getting up and wins a decision with better work on the feet
Roman Dolidze, SUB, R2
Just running through my picks in brief. Cool fight. Imavov is more technical and neat, but Dolidze has aggression and power. And the finishing upside is going to be mainly with Dolidze.

Faux New Predictions
Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 525 Points | Tied for 283rd
Mederos vs. Quiñones
I appoint MarQuel Mederos at -135. He has a maniacal bear hug and an intelligent bicycle kick. Mederos shall clinch the canvas.
Khizriev vs. Muradov
I am sniffing Aliaskhab Khizriev at -150. He has a macabre leaping clothesline and a decent guillotine. Khizriev will operate the performance. No question!
Dolidze vs. Imavov
I take Nassourdine Imavov at -165. He has a wondrous osoto gari and a strong stamina. Imavov might realign the production. Count on it!
McCann vs. Belbiţă
I love Molly McCann at -265. She has an ironic armbar. McCann will likely best the cage.
Moicano vs. Dober
I embrace Renato Moicano at -180. He has a poignant check hook and a meritorious mentality and also a maladapted left hand. Moicano can penetrate the achievement.
Bilder vs. Lee
I am going with Jeong Yeong Lee at -165. He has a yummy armbar. Lee could cheat the underdog.
Petersen vs. Pogues
I go with Thomas Petersen at -165. He has an advanced level change. Petersen could toss the opposition.
Stoliarenko vs. Carolina
I am sniffing Julija Stoliarenko at -150. She has a digital omoplata and a homemade demeanor and also a passionate hiza guruma. Stoliarenko can employ the masterpiece.
Urbina vs. Radtke
I appoint Gilbert Urbina at -200. He has a final mounted elbow drop. Urbina will likely boil the cake. Done!
Brown vs. Salikhov
I tap Randy Brown at -280. He has a resilient check hook and a leaden butterfly sweep and also an original tsuri-dashi. Brown isn't about to clinch the cake.
Johnson vs. Maksum
I take Azat Maksum at -230. He has a underrated attitude. Maksum shall manipulate the dissentient.
Gorimbo vs. Rodriguez
I adopt Themba Gorimbo at -250. He has a wacky tsuri-dashi. Gorimbo is about to blend the foe.
Araujo vs. Silva
I choose Natália Silva at -360. She has a genuine ankle lock. Silva won't grapple the crowd noise.
I appoint MarQuel Mederos at -135. He has a maniacal bear hug and an intelligent bicycle kick. Mederos shall clinch the canvas.

Prediction Comments
Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 375 Points | Tied for 2215th
Dolidze vs. Imavov
Nassourdine Imavov, DEC
I'm surprised Dolidze is the favorite on here. He is a world class grappler but never really tries to take it there. He's got power in his hands but he's not a smart or dynamic striker in any way. Imavov's footwork is going to keep him out of danger and I think he's going to take over strong after the first couple rounds.
Moicano vs. Dober
Renato Moicano, SUB, R1
Moicano is the more well-rounded fighter. He's got good kicks and a good 1-2, and this fight is probably over if he gets it to the ground. I think Dober is gonna look to pressure and Moicano is gonna find a takedown off of it and eventually get an RNC.
Brown vs. Salikhov
Randy Brown, DEC
Salikhov prolly the better striker but I don't trust his cardio
Araujo vs. Silva
Natália Silva, DEC
Silva is one of the brightest WMMA prospects here, I think she should be able to get the win over an aged Araujo
Khizriev vs. Muradov
Makhmud Muradov, TKO, R3
I don't trust Khizriev with the long layoff and only UFC win over a massive can
