Predictions: 9 of 14 Winners, 7 Perfect, 650 Points | Tied for 2145th
Was feeling Chito at first and still wouldn't be shocked if he wins but going with the speed and accuracy of Suga. Chito's durability is next level, thinking it goes the distance with Sean landing more damaging shots.
BSD KO RD1
A Poirier win here would shock me and that totally sucks to write. Dustin is one of my all time favorites and I think he still has gas left to perform at a high level but really don't see how he wins here. BSD catches him early.
Burns Sub RD3
Is there a world where JDM gets the KO? Absolutely. But I'm going with Burns here. If he can land take downs think he finds a late sub.

Sean O'Malley, TKO, R3
O Malley frustrates Vera from the outside, Vera does alot of rushing exchanges to throw off the stability of OMalley. O Malley has since learned how to handle pressure like this and clips him with a clean left straight TKO to ground and pound.
Poirier vs. Saint-Denis
Benoit Saint-Denis, TKO, R4
BSD lands a beautiful counter on the cage while dodging Poirer’s bombs. BSD puts him down to a knee and then lands and uppercut and the ref stefs in. Tko finish.
Holland vs. Page
Kevin Holland, DEC
29-28x3 Holland pieces him up towards the end.
Burns vs. Maddalena
Jack Della Maddalena, DEC
29-28x2 30-27 Unanimous decision. Tough fight but JDM pace and contact is what separates him in this one.
Yan vs. Song
Yadong Song, TKO, R2
Song dominates a prodding, telgegraphing Yan, and ends this when Yan starts to feel urgency. Knee to Hooks TKO
Blaydes vs. Almeida
Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R1
Bombs from above. Blaydes wastes zero time getting this one down. He avoids transitions but lands huge shots in the gaps, they start really landing and Almeida’s head starts to bounce a bit and the Ref starts to see signs. Almeida starts to go unconscious and the ref steps in.
Cerminara vs. Barber
Maycee Barber, DEC
29-28x3. Maycee looks fantastic in round 1, it starts to even out in 2 and then she fades hard. But some judges decide she does enough. 29-28x2 29-28 Split Dec.
Gamrot vs. dos Anjos
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
30-27x3 Uni for Gamrot. Who lands in trouble early and bounces back fully to arguably dominate.
Munhoz vs. Phillips
Kyler Phillips, DEC
30-27, 29-28, 28-29. A wonky split but worthwhile, Kyler does all the control but almost all the damage comes from Pedro leading to some controversy. Split decision.
Lins vs. Cutelaba
Philipe Lins, TKO, R1
Ion way too vicious for his own good and walks right into a 3-Piece combo of a body shot, head, head. His night ends early due to lack of defense.
Pereira vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michel Pereira, DEC
29-28x2, 30-27 Uni. The style differences are quite unique. I think Pereira stays hyper active and that energy resonates for the judges who are distracted away from seeing the slow and methodical approach of MO.
Despaigne vs. Parisian
Josh Parisian, SUB, R2
Either getting KOd cold or Parisian does the smart gameplan and gets this rook down to the ground and submits him via arm triangle.
Vergara vs. Almabaev
Asu Almabaev, TKO, R1
Vergara gets his back taken middle of round 1 and has to fight from that position to the end. Asu lands huge shots trying to open up an RNC but he notices the shots are landing and the referee is getting closer. Asu decides to switch and land countless indefensible shots and the ref sees enough. TKO finish. Asu is legit.
Wood vs. Moroz
Joanne Wood, DEC
Split dec. 29-28x2 28-29.

Marlon Vera
I might be wrong but I’m honestly rooting for chito . Plus if he beats o malley it opens up for more potential bangers instead of o malley choosing his fights
Poirier vs. Saint-Denis
Benoit Saint-Denis, TKO
BSD is a BAD man . Too much for diamond
Holland vs. Page
Michael Page, TKO
this will be FOTN for as long as it last till MVP puts his lights out
Burns vs. Maddalena
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO
This is the epitome of “ out with the old & in with the new “
Yan vs. Song
Petr Yan, TKO
Could see Yan taking him to a decision but as durable as Song is , he’s not ready for this level of fighter . I could see him crumbling in the 3rd
Blaydes vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, SUB
Light work for Jailton … remember I said this
Cerminara vs. Barber
Maycee Barber, TKO
LMAOOO
Gamrot vs. dos Anjos
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
This one is self explanatory
Munhoz vs. Phillips
Pedro Munhoz
Bet that’s never been finished and fought the who’s who of the division vs upcoming fighter with a good body of work who’s technical and fast . Hard one to pick but I came to the realization that Munhoz is going to be a tad bit too much for Phillips the experience is going to show in this fight

Could MVP land something harder then a Kyle Daukaus headbutt???, It very unlikely because it MMA, but who know it’s MMA

I expect there to be some surprising finishes just because it's MMA but it feels like there's a high probability of fight goes long in a lot of these bouts.
