I agree, the highest chances would be Munhoz vs Phillips, Song vs Yan, and Poirier vs St. Denis

Chito has rhino skin and has never been TKO/KO'd so that might be a long shot

I was gonna put Sean at -200 in a 2 or 3 leg parlay that I'm still experimenting with the format of. I'm passing at -250 though.

Also late reply but yeah I agree with most of the picks you mentioned a few pages back. I was almost certain I was gonna bet JDM but I missed the window because I didn't want to do it blind, odds have dropped now. I liked him at -125.

After watching all of parisians ufc tape robelis would have to be the fraud of all frauds. Honestly the thing that concerns me most isn't him having bad cardio or no wrestling it would be him potentially having no chin since taekwando is point fighting with head and body protection, might not be able to take a ****tily timed but just happens to land punch and he's so not used to getting touched it hurts him. But I mean come on that's not happening. 

What I've been doing the past like year is sorta like cody saftic prp but a little less risky, I get two guys on the main ticket as a parlay, and then attach various 3rd legs of other spots I like to those 2 so -300s become +150s etc. And only betting what the main 2 win so if nothing else but that hits i break even. Also try to have one of them the main event or close to it, so as long as the first spot comes through, I know exactly how much I'll make and i can hedge on the other side for profit either way.

Scares me to put a debut in that spot but I think I'm doing robelis and omalley. Vera will be a really easy hedge in the first round since he's always a slow starter and I do believe sean wins this comfortably.

An introduction

Predictions: 8 of 14 Winners, 3 Perfect, 500 Points   |   Tied for 5172nd

I like the matchmaking for this PPV. Some really nice matchups and I'm excited to see some clarity on the bantamweight and lightweight future. I just made an ACC here recently to join in on the pick-making fun... I'm no expert, so a warm thank you to those who describe the fighters' from their reviewing and fight IQ here, I appreciate the read.

Really excited about BSD/ Poirier. Seems like fireworks in the making... O'Malley and Vera 2... I missed the first fight but I did re-watch it recently and saw Sean's leg had that nerve issue from taking dmg or checking. Should be a fun one because revenge will be on the mind, but Vera won already so he must be confident. I like Vera's many tattoos, he's crazy to get so many but it's awesome lol

Meanwhile the entire Main Card is stacked and even Gamrot vs RDA on the prelims, that interests me too. Cheers everyone!

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 6 Perfect, 655 Points   |   Tied for 2023rd

O'Malley vs. Vera II
Sean O'Malley, DEC
O'Malley shouldn't lose in my mind so long as he comes in with good cardio and awareness. He SHOULD outstrike Chito.

Poirier vs. Saint-Denis
Dustin Poirier, TKO, R4
Dustin being an underdog is wild, I would still pick him because of how battle-tested he is. If he shows up as the Dustin we know then Saint-Denis is gonna have one hell of a time.

Holland vs. Page
Kevin Holland, DEC
I got Holland right now

Burns vs. Maddalena
Gilbert Burns, DEC
I believe in Burns

Yan vs. Song
Petr Yan, DEC
Yan is still a tough bastard- he's just had a tough break and I think Song is an opponent he can much more effectively take on.

Blaydes vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, SUB, R2
Almeida has yet to ever appear to be in trouble before so I guess I will go with him for now.

Cerminara vs. Barber
Maycee Barber, DEC
Barber may be a future champion tbh

Gamrot vs. dos Anjos
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
I'm sorry but RDA should be gone...

Munhoz vs. Phillips
Kyler Phillips, DEC
IDK prolly Phillips due to age and reach advantage

Pereira vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michel Pereira, TKO, R1
Pereira was ******* huge for even middleweight so I can pick him confidently as he picks this one

Lins vs. Cutelaba
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R2
Ion shouldn't lose but then again he's stupid so

Wood vs. Moroz
Maryna Moroz, DEC

I’m feeling Yan vs Yadong for fight of the night, I think JDM vs Burns and Poirer vs BSD is more of a performance of the night type fight ending early

Yan when he doesn’t fight a wrestler is one of the most entertaining fighters In the UFC

If Kevin Holland doesn't take down MVP and mess him up, then something went terribly wrong or Kevin tried to do something silly.

You honestly think Kevin will take MVP down? Both of these guys have huge egos and it's centered around their striking ability. I expect both of them to strike regardless of if that is working for them or not.

bit of me thinks Holland just might try to stand and bang with MVP until it starts swaying in Page’s favor, so not to dissimilar from the Wonderboy fight.
