Buzujka does not belong in the UFC, dude is hot garbage. I don’t know who’s lying to him at his gym. I’m contemplating betting my house on Connor at even odds.
If Blanchfield can’t hold on to Fiorot for 5 rounds she will lose
Luque should be a -500 vs. Buckley
Weidman is about to get decapitated, watching that fight like 🫣
Ruziboev-Dumas had to have been an error in matchmaking then they said **** it keep it
Aslan’s gas tank is the only thing keeping him from this victory

Blanchfield vs. Fiorot Manon Fiorot, DEC Fiorot really impressed me in her last fight. If she can maintain that level without the crowd support, she will get a dec. win.
Luque vs. Buckley Luque, TKO, R1 Luque should get this win over Buckley. Buckley has been on fire lately, but Vincent will be too much for him.
Silva vs. Weidman Bruno Silva, TKO, R2 This should be an easy win for Silva. Weidman is too vulnerable, especially on the legs. Will probably be his retiring match.
Ruziboev vs. Dumas Nursulton Ruziboev, SUB, R1 Dumas didnt look great against Abu Azaitar. Which was a really weird match anyways with hair pulling etc.
Algeo vs. Nelson Algeo, DEC Nelson has been on form lately against lower tier fighters, Algeo will be too much for him.
Njokuani vs. McKee Rhys McKee, DEC Two fighter who don't belong in the UFC. Giving McKee a slight advantage.
Landwehr vs. Emmers Nate Landwehr, DEC This odd is really weird. The odds should be near even in my opinion. Huge value on the guy. He has won multiple times as a huge underdog.
Jandiroba vs. Godinez Lupita Godinez, DEC Should be a scrappy dec win without happening much in the fight.
Arce vs. Burns Arce, DEC Burns is a joke.
Matthews vs. Buzukja Connor Matthews, DEC Buzukja doesn't belong in the UFC.
Aslan vs. Turkalj II Ibo Aslan, TKO, R1 Turkalj has very bad head movement and overall is not a very good fighter. This should be a rematch win for the Last Ottoman.
Gatto vs. Dudakova Gatto Wasn't impressed by Dudakova's debut match. Gatto has always been decent, she should win it on dec.
Petroski vs. Malkoun Jacob Malkoun, SUB, R1 Petroski looks intimidating, but got smashed by Pereira in 1 hit. Malkoun has great wrestling skills which will give Petroski huge problems.
Pacheco vs. Loughran Caolán Loughran, TKO, R2 Pacheco is just not very good. Not really familiar with Loughran but he should win this nevertheless.
Not confident in anything at all from this card. Hope it delivers.

Just thinking about it now with the main event, it should be a close fight and with the fight being in New Jersey, Blanchfield be more likely to get the split decision

Tied for 305th
Aslan vs. Turkalj II Ibo Aslan, TKO, R1 I know Turkalj beat him once, but I'm not trusting someone on a 3 fight skid. Ibo has to get him out of there early though or this is gonna go a lot like their first fight
Gatto vs. Dudakova Melissa Gatto, DEC Pretty 50/50 matchup but Gatto has fought the better competition so rolling with her. If she can get Dudakova down and get some top control she should be able to get back on track with a win here.
Petroski vs. Malkoun Jacob Malkoun, DEC The odds are kind of surprising here. Petroski can grapple with the best of them and Malkoun is primarily a grappler. Rolling with Malkoun because of the cardio concerns for Petroski and the gap on the feet, but wouldn't be shocked at an upset here. Petroski is dangerous everywhere.
Pacheco vs. Loughran Caolán Loughran, DEC Loughran by wrestle****. Pacheco is tough but he doesn't belong in the UFC. Loughran still has to prove he belongs too, but I think he's good enough to win here.

Blanchfield vs. Fiorot Erin Blanchfield, DEC Blanchfield more dynamic and a better finisher. She really feels like she could be the future of this division. Then again, this is WMMA, and we’ve seen women like Fiorot manage to skate pass more dynamic opponents in the past…

Tied for 305th
Landwehr vs. Emmers Nate Landwehr, SUB, R3 NATE THE TRAIN IN THE MF BUILDING! As a Clarksville native I can't pick against my boy. Should be a competitive fight though. Nate drags him into deep waters and gets the finish in typical Nate fashion.
Jandiroba vs. Godinez Lupita Godinez, DEC Let's ****** go Loopy! Better boxer and wrestler. She's got this **** in the bag. And no, I'm not biased at all.
Arce vs. Burns Julio Arce, TKO, R2 Odds are too wide, but Arce has pretty solid takedown defense and is much better on the feet. Not betting on this at these odds though. Both fighters are older and coming off of long layoffs.
Matthews vs. Buzukja Connor Matthews, DEC If this fight was happening before Buzukja fought Emmers then I'd be rolling with him all day. He looked like he belonged in his short notice debut against Woodson then looked like complete **** against Emmers. Matthews looks like he's improved a lot since the Francis Marshall fight. I'll take him in a close competitive scrap.

Tied for 1431st
Luque vs. Buckley Vicente Luque, TKO, R2 Buckley has looked really good at 170 but he’s always gonna be vulnerable to the KO, and there are still questions about his ability to fight well late against a guy of Luque’s caliber.
Silva vs. Weidman Bruno Silva, TKO, R1 Hard to take Weidman here. Silva isn’t great but he hits really hard and should be able to exploit the weaknesses that are Weidman’s chin and legs.
Ruziboev vs. Dumas Sedriques Dumas, DEC I really don’t know. Dumas is kind of garbage so I’m leaning towards Ruziboev, but it’s not like he’s a world beater either.
Algeo vs. Nelson Bill Algeo, DEC Nelson has overachieved as of late but I think Algeo will be the guy to snap his current winning streak. Too much movement and volume for Nelson to neutralize him the way he did Padilla and Bilder.
Njokuani vs. McKee Chidi Njokuani, TKO, R1 Chidi has looked vulnerable but McKee isn’t really all that good from what I can tell. Chidi by TKO but I won’t be surprised if he makes this hard on himself.
Landwehr vs. Emmers Nate Landwehr, TKO, R2 Landwehr is an absolute dog so I don’t think you can ever be confident in fading him, and Emmers has a knack for fumbling the bag. Nate also has beaten the better competition in the UFC.
Jandiroba vs. Godinez Lupita Godinez, DEC Close fight. Godinez has the wrestling and punching power, while Virna has excellent BJJ. Gonna say Godinez just out wrestles and boxes her.
Arce vs. Burns Julio Arce, TKO, R2 Burns is a deadly grappler. If he gets Arce down early, that could be it. The again, Arce is the better striker, has great grappling defense and is undoubtedly the better fighter down the stretch. If Burns doesn’t get it done early, I think Arce finishes him.
Matthews vs. Buzukja Dennis Buzukja, DEC Buzukja is the more reliable three round fighter, while Matthews is probably more dangerous early. I’ll err on the side of the more experienced guy who’s been into deeper waters.
Aslan vs. Turkalj II Ibo Aslan, TKO, R1 Aslan is basically a one round fighter, and he’s gotta prove me otherwise. With that said, Turkalj kind of sucks and his best weapons are his durability, cardio and pace. If Aslan doesn’t finish him early, expect Anton to take over with clinch work and eventually top control.
Gatto vs. Dudakova Victoria Dudakova, DEC Gatto is just far too comfortable fighting off of her back for me to feel confident in her here. Dudakova isn’t a super dynamic fighter but she’s got the wrestling and physicality, plus she’s seemingly been improving with every fight. Feel like she’ll get enough control time to win round 1 and 3. I also think it’ll be competitive enough on the feet that even if it doesn’t hit the ground, it’ll still be close on the cards.
Petroski vs. Malkoun Jacob Malkoun, DEC Malkoun is the better grappler and probably has the cardio edge. Petroski is stronger and a harder puncher, but I don’t have a ton of confidence in him if he’s unable to consistently outmuscle. That or an early KO are his paths to victory, imo. Malkoun by late round1/round2 stoppage or decision.
Pacheco vs. Loughran Caolán Loughran, SUB, R1 Pacheco is extremely tough and durable, but I don’t think he’ll be able to handle the size and power of a sharpshooter like Loughran. Think he gets clipped early like he usually does, and Loughran takes his back for an RNC or GNP TKO.

Tied for 4091st
Arce vs. Burns I select Julio Arce at -400. He has a decent sleeper slam. Arce won't maintain the cake.
Algeo vs. Nelson I like Bill Algeo at -245. He has a noble clawhold. Algeo ought to leverage the dark horse.
Jandiroba vs. Godinez I elect Lupita Godinez at -230. She has a yucky lumberjack sweep and an ironic side kick to the throat. Godinez isn't about to outsmart the opposition.
Blanchfield vs. Fiorot I love Erin Blanchfield at -190. She has an oppulent kneebar and a xenotropic mentality. Blanchfield won't lock the TV audience. Заруби ceбe на носу!
Silva vs. Weidman I trust Bruno Silva at -235. He has an oppulent dragon sleeper and a yappy right hand and also an exotic sleeper slam. Silva should bury the natural order.
Pacheco vs. Loughran I am sticking with Caolán Loughran at -375. He has a talented attitude. Loughran isn't about to bake the cycle.
Njokuani vs. McKee I trust Chidi Njokuani at -140. He has a strong tsuri-dashi. Njokuani won't grapple the rival.
Gatto vs. Dudakova I love Melissa Gatto at -155. She has an obscene kouchi gari. Gatto is gonna limit the foe. Believe in yourself!
Ruziboev vs. Dumas I am taking Nursulton Ruziboev at -225. He has a qualified overhead chop and a scintillating high kick and also a ultrasonic inverted atomic drop. Ruziboev won't grind the opposition. Oss!
Petroski vs. Malkoun I tap Jacob Malkoun at -250. He has an advanced knife hand block. Malkoun could violate the masterpiece. Never fails!
Landwehr vs. Emmers I am enamored with Jamall Emmers at -185. He has a qualified kimura. Emmers can tweak the Octagon.

Tied for 305th
Blanchfield vs. Fiorot Manon Fiorot, DEC Blanchfield will be champ one day, but this is going to be a set back for her. Fiorot is a much better striker and her takedown defense should be good enough to defend the majority of the takedowns. I could be wrong here and Blanchfield could maul her, but I feel pretty good about the dog here.
Luque vs. Buckley Vicente Luque, TKO, R2 Buckley has looked pretty good at 170, but seeing Luque wrestle RDA like he did gives me faith in him here. This fight should be extemely competitive on the feet, and I think both guys are live for a KO. If things aren't going Luque's way though he can switch up the gameplan and start wrestling. He has the clear advantage in the grappling department and is the overall better fighter.
Silva vs. Weidman Bruno Silva, TKO, R1 Hate to see legends get old. It hurts my soul, but Silva has the power to put Weidman's lights out.
Ruziboev vs. Dumas Nursulton Ruziboev, SUB, R1 Lock of the week and a steal at these odds. Dumas is not that good, ESPECIALLY in the grappling department and Ruziboev is an extremely dangerous grappler. This one will be over quickly.
Algeo vs. Nelson Bill Algeo, DEC Nelson has looked much better as of late, but Algeo is crafty vet and should be able to pull this one off.
Njokuani vs. McKee Chidi Njokuani, TKO, R1 Chidi is getting older, but McKee is a can. If Chidi can't get him out of there early though this could make betters sweat. Even if McKee weathers the early storm though I think Chidi has the length and skills to give him trouble on the feet and take a close decision.
