Ilia Topuria, TKO, R2
Volk is one of my favourite fighter , but Illa one dangerous man with tons of confidence, Volk coming off a Ko lost is bad, when these guys lose, they keep lose
Whittaker vs. Costa
Robert Whittaker, TKO, R2
Bobby knuckles is hunting for a KO and Costa over rated
Neal vs. Machado Garry
Geoff Neal, TKO, R1
Ian Garry defence isn’t the best and Neal can punch hard
Dvalishvili vs. Cejudo
Merab Dvalishvili, DEC
Never picking against the man who can shot 20+ takedown in a fight, having that much cardio is cheating
Hernandez vs. Kopylov
Anthony Hernandez, SUB, R2
Same as last fight, being able to shot 20+ takedown is cheating
Lemos vs. Dern
Amanda Lemos, TKO, R1
Dern can’t wrestle and Lemos is powerful striker, won’t go well for her
Nakamura vs. Vera
Rinya Nakamura, SUB, R1
Rinya going to win ya, going to use his elite Wresling to sub Vera
Lee vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, DEC
Andrea Lee is 2-6 in her last 8, don’t pick people who don’t win fights

Alexander Volkanovski, SUB
Topuira is Beast but he doesnt fight someone like Volk yet.
Whittaker vs. Costa
Paulo Costa, TKO
Whittaker is washed after DDP.

Miranda Maverick
Miranda Maverick's youth and motivation make her a surefire bet to decimate Andrea Lee, the washed-up grandma who's well past her prime. Lee's glory days are ancient history, and Maverick's hunger for success will leave her in the dust. It's a no-brainer; Maverick's vigor will crush Lee's feeble attempts at relevance on the mat. So, save your sympathy bets for someone worth your time, because Lee's about to get schooled by the next generation.

Oban Elliott
Welsh gangster Oban Elliott is gonna wipe the floor with that goofball Val Woodburn because Val couldn't strategize his way out of a paper bag if his life depended on it. He's as useless as a broken stick on the ice, always tripping over his own shoelaces. Elliott's gonna make him look like a toddler trying to play with the big boys. Val, you're about as threatening as a wet tissue in a hurricane.

Danny Barlow
Danny Barlow's got the guts and the glory to tear apart that wannabe Bushido, Josh Quinlan. Quinlan's just a glorified amateur pretending to be a fighter; he's more likely to trip over his own feet than land a decent punch. Barlow's gonna wipe the floor with him, and Quinlan will be crying for his mommy before the first round's even over.

Mingyang Zhang
Zhang, the behemoth from China, is gonna flatten that sorry excuse for an athlete, Ribeiro, like a pancake. Brendson Ribeiro? More like Brendson the Bumbling Buffoon. He's about as threatening as a mosquito in a hurricane. Zhang's gonna stomp him into oblivion, and Ribeiro won't even know what hit him because he's too busy daydreaming about his next failed attempt at fame.

Rinya Nakamura
Nakamura's got skills that'll make Vera look like he's playing shuffleboard at a retirement home. Vera's just a washed-up has-been with no chance against the raw talent and ferocity Nakamura brings to the table. You'd have to be blind not to see Nakamura's gonna wipe the floor with that old geezer. Put your money where the real action is, and watch Nakamura demolish Vera without breaking a sweat.

Junior Tafa
Young fast Junior Tafa's gonna demolish old Marcos Rogério de Lima. Lima's jaw is as fragile as glass, and his toothless grin will only get wider when Tafa's fists come crashing in. It's gonna be a swift knockout, and Lima will be spitting teeth all over the canvas before he even knows what hit him. Bet on it, easy money.

Mackenzie Dern
Mackenzie Dern's got fire in her belly, fueled by every idiot who doubted her. Lemos? She's just another has-been, clinging to her glory days. Dern's motivation is like a freight train, and Lemos? She's a rusty track waiting to be derailed. Face it, Lemos, your time's up, and Dern's gonna put you to sleep quicker than your sorry excuse for a career did.

Anthony Hernandez
Anthony Hernandez, the cardio king, is gonna wipe the floor with that Russian pansy, Roman Kopylov. Kopylov's probably too busy sipping vodka to even train properly, let alone handle Hernandez's relentless cardio and skill. He'll be crying for his babushka by the end of the first round, wondering why he even bothered stepping into the ring with a real fighter like Hernandez.

Merab Dvalishvili
Merab Dvalishvili, the lineal bantamweight champion, is gonna make minced meat out of that has-been Henry Cejudo. Cejudo's just a washed-up flyweight trying to cling to his glory days like a drowning rat on a sinking ship. He's about as relevant as yesterday's newspaper, while Dvalishvili is the true champ destined to wipe the floor with his sorry excuse of a career. Get ready to witness a massacre, folks, 'cause Cejudo's gonna need more than luck to survive against the likes of Dvalishvili.

Ian Machado Garry
Ian Machado Garry will make his cougar wife proud because he's got the guts Geoff Neal lacks. Geoff's like a lost puppy in the ring, clueless and weak. He'll crumble under Garry's might like a stale cookie in a toddler's grip. Geoff's just a wannabe fighter, not fit to lace Garry's boots.
