Predictions: 14 of 14 Pending | Tied for 1st with 1272 others
Paul Craig, SUB, R3
Imma be mad if I don't pick this but I see a hail-mary type of scenario similar to the Ankalaev fight.
Silva vs. Klose
Drakkar Klose, DEC
I feel like Klose was a lot closer (no pun intended) to finishing Dariush than Silva was to finishing Arman. Also Silva got KO'd by Ricky Glenn in under a minnute like 3 years ago so..
Costa vs. Borjas
Alessandro Costa, DEC
Ya knonw Borjas didn't do too shabby against Van, I even saw the bout live. But Costa fought against Erceg who is fighting for the belt (whether people like it or not) as well as Albazi who will likely soon be fighting for it next or be put into a #1 contender's match within the year. Costa went 3 RD's w/ both which is high level experience. I believe that'll edge him out the win here.

Alexandre Pantoja, DEC
Easy pick tbh. There's levels to this. Maybe Erceg will be there someday.
Martinez vs. Aldo
José Aldo, DEC
First of all: I FREAKING LOVE THIS FIGHT! But I honestly don't see Aldo losing tbh. If he does I see it by a late RD 3 TKO via leg kicks or DEC but honestly Aldo was looking like a dawg before he retired & didn't even get beat bad by Merab. He just got held against the fence & arguably could've won based off of damage alone. Aldo's got that dawg in him enough to stay in there & get the job doi
Brito vs. Shore
Joanderson Brito, SUB, R2
SUB for Brito. Likely RD 2. If ur getting subbed by Simon who's more a wrestler than submission expert, then Brito's likely to sinch a SUB up here. Would like a Shore dub here tho.
Smith vs. Petrino
Vitor Petrino, TKO, R3
Late TKO for the Brazilian or DEC win.
Pereira vs. Muradov
Michel Pereira, DEC
Pereira FTW

Alexandre Pantoja, DEC
This is way too early for Erceg to be given a title shot; I think Pantoja will get the nod on all 3 judges (50-45, X3).
Martinez vs. Aldo
Jonathan Martinez, DEC
This sadly won't be the return Aldo wanted but I think he'll make it to distance with the dragon.
Brito vs. Shore
Joanderson Brito, SUB, R2
Brito is so explosive and powerful - I think that he'll score a knockdown and whip up a guillotine.
Smith vs. Petrino
Vitor Petrino, TKO, R1
I think Smith is out of his prime.
Pereira vs. Muradov
Michel Pereira, SUB, R2
I see Pereira pulling out a performance of the night bonus.
Craig vs. Borralho
Caio Borralho, DEC
Borralho's fight IQ is very high - while Graig is a one-dimensional jiu-jitsu/submission fighter.
Silva vs. Klose
Drakkar Klose, DEC
Silva's a goner.
Costa vs. Borjas
Alessandro Costa, SUB, R3
I wouldn't be surprised if Costa can pull out something from the bag.
Barbosa vs. Kareckaite
Ernesta Kareckaite, DEC
Another young and upcoming talent.
Brener vs. Orolbai
Elves Brener, DEC
I think a lot of people are over looking Brener.
Silva vs. Gomis
William Gomis, DEC
Gomis is on the raise, and I can't wait to see this guy fight again.
Kowalkiewicz vs. Lucindo
Iasmin Lucindo, DEC
Easy decision for Lucindo.
Ruffy vs. Mullarkey
Mauricio Ruffy, TKO, R2
It's sad for Mullarkey but he's had some back-to-back losses as of lately.
Bonfim vs. Pichel
Ismael Bonfim, TKO, R1
Pichel's time is done.

Erceg could pull off a victory in the championship rounds. I don't think Pantoja will ragdool him on the ground, and on the feet Pantoja is there to be hit all night long.
Great fight !
