O'Malley vs. Vera II
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R3
no injury this time omalley kos chito before he even gets the chance to pick up the pace

Poirier vs. Saint-Denis
Dustin Poirier, DEC
i hope im wrong but dustin has won so many wars and benoit just has not actually gone to war with any real name i mean frevola to poirier is a giant difference

Burns vs. Maddalena
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R1
its either burns sub or JDM breaks his face id rather go with a fast ko finish for JDM

Yan vs. Song
Petr Yan, TKO, R3
petr breaks song in the later rounds song is great and at first i had him picked but i do beleive that in a fight where finally petr doesnt have to worry about wrestling he will find the ko

Holland vs. Page
Kevin Holland, TKO, R2
i have a feeling the ufc doesnt care for MVP and thats why they gave him Holland a guy who has never been koed has a great boxing game at length honestly i think holland can catch mvp with a straight right and ko him fantastic fight btw

Munhoz vs. Phillips
Kyler Phillips, DEC
kyler is younger has more range and is a mirror match in some ways to pedro i think he wins a decision

Vergara vs. Almabaev
Asu Almabaev, SUB, R2
CJ is easily breakable Almabaev finds the choke

Chookagian vs. Barber
Katlyn Chookagian, DEC
idk exactly what im thinking here but chook is the rangier striker with meh grappling and takedown defense possible she gets absolutely worked on the mat also possible she wins a split decision and you all learn to stop betting wmma

Blaydes vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, SUB, R1
Jailton is the real deal idk how many times i have to say it Blaydes is heavyweights top gatekeeper

Gamrot vs. dos Anjos
Mateusz Gamrot, TKO, R3
Gamrot eventually breaks an old RDA with ground and pound very similar fighters

Pereira vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michel Pereira, TKO, R1
this should be fun i think pereira has him covered with shots from range and then he finds the bomb shot

Despaigne vs. Parisian
Robelis Despaigne, TKO, R1
87 inch reach LMAO

Wood vs. Moroz
Maryna Moroz, SUB, R1
this is easy for moroz i actually dont understand how anyone thinks wood has a chance

Lins vs. Cutelaba
Philipe Lins, TKO, R1

Jdm is really good and its kind of 50/50 here bc burns came in his last fight injured im pretty sure and he is more experienced than jack but i think gilberts time is up tbh. Aussie Aussie Aussie!

I honestly think josh parisian has a better chance at killing a polar bear with his bear hands than he does beating despaigne.

Yan vs. Song
Petr Yan, DEC
C’mon dude. I feel like petr has a really good chance of winning here but the mma gods are cruel and yadong is skilled asf and really young. But its still petr yan and he is still hella dangerous and this might be a fotn.

Holland vs. Page
Michael Page, TKO, R3
I got holland winning but i really want mvp to get the win here just bc of the exiting fights he can have in the ufc like wonderboy.

Blaydes vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, SUB, R1
Really good grappling match up at hw tbh but almeida is just too persistant and skilled and will most likely be in the future of hw

Gamrot vs. dos Anjos
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
******* scamrot needs to be drop kicked out of the top 10 but he still is gonna fluke his way up the ranking until he gets highlight reel ko’ed by charles or islam

A win here will really put RDA back at the top of the lightweight division. Something he thought was he was done with.

Suga should be faster

Poirier vs. Saint-Denis
Benoit Saint-Denis, SUB, R3
Dark horse not stopping till the belt

Burns vs. Maddalena
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R2
Burns vulnerabilities against the jab vs a boxer, good chances in the ground for him tho

Yan vs. Song
Petr Yan, DEC
A very hard fight to bounce back but Yan is capable of

Holland vs. Page
Kevin Holland, DEC
Two irregular big talents but Holland is proved

Kyler Phillips, DEC
Munhoz is rough but beatable and Phillips is really really underrated

Asu Almabaev, SUB, R2
Asu

Chookagian vs. Barber
Maycee Barber, DEC
Finally Barber is looking good + Chookagian has 2 robberies in her last 4 wins

Blaydes vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, DEC
Not trusting Blaydes anymore but he has the stylistic advantage here

Gamrot vs. dos Anjos
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
Gamrot outworks current RDA

Michel Pereira, DEC
Disciplined Pereira but Oleksiejczuk is no bum

Cuban monster with another highlight

Wood vs. Moroz
Maryna Moroz, SUB, R1
Let's be real: Wood's already got a foot out the door as it is. Her submission defense doesn't seem to be all that and don't think this rematch will go any differently.

Lins vs. Cutelaba
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R1
Dude I didn't know this was gonna be on this card!! Hate me idc, but I love a good Cutelaba scrap!

Blaydes vs. Almeida
Curtis Blaydes, DEC
How tf is Blaydes ony being picked by 37% of users on here? I think this is one of the easier fights of the night to predict. He's too big/competent of a wrestler for Almeida to have his way with, and more than able to finish him in the standup.
