Kianzad vs. Chiasson II
Macy Chiasson, SUB, R2
Com a agressividade e a vantagem de tamanho de Chiasson, posso vê-la mais uma vez encontrando sucesso no clinch e no chão a caminho de entregar mais uma vitória por finalização.

@jefferson99 
round 2 makes total sense since he seems to be a slow starter, specially after getting knocked out. I like it.

After being completely dominated by Ketlen Vieira's grappling, Pannie Kianzad was unable to hold on to her #7 spot in the bantamweight rankings.. 


..she was moved to #6.

Meerschaert está em um nível completamente diferente no grappling e deve ter poucos problemas para garantir uma finalização.

Predictions: 5 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 330 Points   |   Tied for 3014th

Davis vs. Levy
Mike Davis, DEC
Contanto que Davis esteja 100% após o período inativo, ele é melhor do que Levy onde quer que a luta vá.

Nunes vs. Chandler
Josiane Nunes, DEC
Por mais limitada que Nunes seja, ela acerta Chandler com seu overhand sempre que puder.

Osbourne vs. Filho
Jafel Filho, SUB, R1
Filho derruba Osbourne nos minutos iniciais e progride na posição até que Osbourne entregue seu pescoço.

Culibao vs. Silva
Josh Culibao, DEC
Silva tem alguns lapsos defensivos graves, o que parece ser o fator decisivo neste confronto.

Moisés vs. Ramirez
Thiago Moisés, DEC
Moisés supera Ramirez em todas as áreas para voltar a entrar na coluna da vitória.

McKenna vs. Amorim
Cory McKenna, DEC
Se o condicionamento físico de Amorim não estiver à altura da tarefa, ela estará em um mundo de mágoas.

Anheliger vs. Grigoriou
Charalampos Grigoriou, TKO, R1
Grigoriou pareceu assustador no Contender Series, e talvez Anheliger não sobreviva ao seu ataque no começo da luta.

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 465 Points   |   Tied for 592nd

Tuivasa vs. Tybura
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R1
Tough one to pick. Very much 50/50 imho going into it. Tai by KO/TKO seems like his only path. Picking him because I want to see the birthday shoey, but would not bet this on either side.

Battle vs. Loosa
Bryan Battle, TKO, R2
Fun fight. Big head kick incoming?

Nzechukwu vs. St. Preux
Kennedy Nzechukwu, TKO, R1
Why was this booked? Is Kennedy really a guy the UFC wants to push? Featured bout against a name that he's likely going to run through seems like they do, but it's a weird choice. I'm not a believe that he's that good, but he very much should win this one pretty easily.

Rodriguez vs. Dulgarian
Christian Rodriguez, DEC
Fun fight. Think CRod grinds it out, derailing another hype train. Dulgarian could be the goods, but there are so many unknowns with him and we know CRod is good, can stuff takedowns, and can get up or reverse if taken down. Very interesting fight here on not a great card.

Kianzad vs. Chiasson II
Macy Chiasson, DEC
Macy has better wins in the UFC ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meerschaert vs. Barberena
Gerald Meerschaert, SUB, R2
Barberena looked terrible in his last fight at 185lbs.

Davis vs. Levy
Mike Davis, DEC
Thinking 30-27 or a late finish with a lot of one way traffic

Nunes vs. Chandler
Josiane Nunes, DEC
Jeff Molina by punches with more impact maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Osbourne vs. Filho
Jafel Filho, SUB, R2
Thinking once it goes to the ground with some time to work, its a wrap

Culibao vs. Silva
Josh Culibao, TKO, R3
Should be a banger

Moisés vs. Ramirez
Thiago Moisés, SUB, R2
The line on this fight is a gift IMHO - think Moises should be -700 or so

McKenna vs. Amorim
Cory McKenna, DEC
Meh

Anheliger vs. Grigoriou
Chad Anheliger, DEC

Predictions: 2 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 140 Points   |   Tied for 4731st

Tuivasa vs. Tybura
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R1
Tybura might land one himself but I think Tai gets there quicker and with more power. Uppercut finish.

Battle vs. Loosa
Bryan Battle, TKO, R3
Great jabs start to close one of Ange’s eyes and he gets tagged up to a tko finish in late round 3.

Nzechukwu vs. St. Preux
Kennedy Nzechukwu, TKO, R1
OSP shoots much too early and Kennedy times countless counters just a tad quicker. They start to bother OSP and he ends up falling to the canvas mid takedown, Kennedy gets on top and finishes him with relative ease.

Rodriguez vs. Dulgarian
Christian Rodriguez, DEC
Banger of a fight. 29-28x2 28-29. CRod gets hurt but recovers wonderfully to win a split.

Kianzad vs. Chiasson II
Pannie Kianzad, DEC
29-28x3 Uni.

Meerschaert vs. Barberena
Bryan Barberena, TKO, R1
Hate that im picking against GM3 here but I think he’ll be too overzealous for a win here and walk right into a huge hook from Barberena.

Davis vs. Levy
Natan Levy, DEC
Upset, 29-28x3 Uni. Levy out points his opponent and especially in the last round and minute.

Nunes vs. Chandler
Josiane Nunes, DEC
29-28x2 28-29 Split dec

Osbourne vs. Filho
Jafel Filho, SUB, R2
RNC and an impressive manor.

Culibao vs. Silva
Josh Culibao, DEC
29-28x3 tough fight back and forth but this will turn out to be Culibao’s fight.

Moisés vs. Ramirez
Mitch Ramirez, TKO, R1
TKO counter to ground and pound.

McKenna vs. Amorim
Cory McKenna, SUB, R2
Armbar sub from bottom. I dont think the odds should be this close and that is alarming.

Anheliger vs. Grigoriou
Charalampos Grigoriou, DEC
New Blood doesn't get the finish but he does enough to look good in a dec win. 30-27x2 29-28 uni.

Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 515 Points   |   Tied for 240th

Tuivasa vs. Tybura
Marcin Tybura, TKO, R4
i feel like tai is too linear for econo-tybura. marcin can mix it up and his gas tank is significantly better so i can see him outlasting tai.

Battle vs. Loosa
Bryan Battle, DEC
i do think loosa can probably get battle down a few times, but i'm not sure how the striking will play out. maybe bryan can establish his range better?

Nzechukwu vs. St. Preux
Kennedy Nzechukwu, TKO, R2
kennedy probably has the range down to avoid loopy counter hooks and i'll say he can stay on his feet.

Rodriguez vs. Dulgarian
Christian Rodriguez, DEC
skeptical of a bw that has never been out of the first round.

Kianzad vs. Chiasson II
Macy Chiasson, DEC
guess i just feel like macy is gonna be more aggressive.

Meerschaert vs. Barberena
Gerald Meerschaert, SUB, R2
gerald either finds his td's or gets stuck trading.

Davis vs. Levy
Mike Davis, DEC
mike davis has the advantage on paper, but never know what to make of inactivity so it's possible he gives natan too much time to find his range while shaking off the rust.

Nunes vs. Chandler
Josiane Nunes, DEC
nunes spams overhands as chandler bullrushes into clinches, so does she get her td's? i'll say not enough.

Osbourne vs. Filho
Jafel Filho, SUB, R2
honestly not very impressed by the opponents filho has beaten, but i feel like ode's explosive moments are gonna leave him open to be taken down if they're not clean shots.

Culibao vs. Silva
Josh Culibao, DEC
culibao's losses are excusable and has shown he can win a range sorta fight. skeptical of silva's resume a bit.

Moisés vs. Ramirez
Thiago Moisés, SUB, R2
going with the grain on this one. mitch's wins don't seem all that impressive to me.

McKenna vs. Amorim
Cory McKenna, DEC
cory will probably find td's and amorim will certainly be looking to play bjj so it's a question of if cory gets caught. i'll say no and secretly hope for yes.

Anheliger vs. Grigoriou
Chad Anheliger, DEC
i'll just hedge this. chad has seen significantly better competition and has shown that he's willing to wrestle if the striking isn't going his way. hasn't been ko'd and grigoriou has 0 subs so maybe decision after both slow down?

Guys I warned you all about Danny Silva. As usual the dullards in here were talking about him as if he is some hidden boss fighter who just got unlocked in a fighting game.

Dude is ass. Could not even make weight. He is about to get destroyed by Culibaos counter striking. 

Don't say I didn't warn you

Tuivasa vs. Tybura
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R1
Tuivasa can't hang with the Top tier Heavyweights. Gotta say he is the gatekeeper for the top 10 rankings. Should be a fun main event. Hoping for some shoey this time around

Nzechukwu vs. St. Preux
Kennedy Nzechukwu, TKO, R1
Kennedy should definitely finish a washed OSP within the first round.

Meerschaert vs. Barberena
Gerald Meerschaert, SUB, R2
I think it's time Barberena hangs up... Guy has never bee the same after the war with Luque. Going up to 185 to challenge bigger fighters only makes it worse cos Barberena isn't a big Welterweight either.

Osbourne vs. Filho
Jafel Filho, SUB, R1
Osbourse is either round 1 or bust.. Filho gotta survive the power of ode. Expecting Filho to secure a sub late in round 1

Moisés vs. Ramirez
Thiago Moisés, SUB, R1
Moises can't seem to break into top 15 but he definitely shows out when he faces lower level of fighters. Expecting a quick sub.

Let's see, I think Tybura is gonna ground Tuivasa but we'll see. I'm picking on age here, but Tybura does have an underrated ground game and Tai has been suffering from lack of defence and his ground game is suspect for sure.
