Dear Lord

Predictions: 11 of 12 Winners, 6 Perfect, 730 Points | Tied for 347th

Dear Lord

I pray to you tonight to forgive the stupid and the poor. They know not what they do.

I try to help them, to uplift them, and they hurl insults and scream like children. They talk about tomatoes and imaginary moments and do not believe in those sent to uplift them and save them.

Help can only be offered Lord, it cannot be forced on the blind. I will continue my charity, my tireless work to educate and improve the life of the stupid, but I fear the population in this land have too many chromosomes for my work to be successful.

I will still try my Lord. I will try my best. But the poor truly wish to remain poor in this land.

Amen 🙏

Only dogs I'm picking are Cesar and Rowe. Edwards has a chance just because both girls are pretty trash and you never know with these judges. ZDS can't be counted out in what should be a standup battle, but I worry about his age. Costa could pull through, but his odds drop drastically with it being a 5 rounder. The rest I don't like their chances, but it's mma where flash KOs, headbutt DQs, and titty punch stoppages happen so who knows

Matthews is also pretty bad, ever since the fialho fight he thinks he’s a striker. Also bro lost to semi

Also for only being ko’ed once, his chin is a little sus. He got rocked badly against Brady, dropped 3 times against semi, got cracked (but ate it) against flowers, and was forced to shell up a few times against morales. Morales fight is interesting to look at because matthews struggled badly with the reach. Rowe isn’t as dynamic or powerful, but he hits hard and has an even longer reach. Matthews has a bad habit of getting caught when moving out of the pocket, I think he’s really gonna be thrown off by that reach advantage of Rowe; he has the longest reach at 170

Almeida is a decorated Kickboxer with great experience where he works a lot on combos and setting the power shots, but MMA is completely different especially with the 4 oz gloves and these weight categories (MW, LHW and HW) where practically everyone has respectable power in the hands. Kopylov is a train and I was honestly impressed with the way he demolished Soriano and Fremd with body shots. Personally I think the same thing will happen as Khalil vs Saki: Gokhan Saki was a K-1 World Champion and was infinitely superior in technique and experience in standing fight, but Rountree lands hard with the 4 oz gloves and had the job done.

Also I know it’s wmma but does anyone think Joselyn Edwards has a chance here? Perez shouldn’t be -250 over anyone, and she badly gassed out in her last fight. I thought it wa every concerning that she just pulled guard & was clueless off of her back. Edwards wrestling is terrible, but it is improving fight to fight. I also feel Perez’s wrestling upside is overrated; she isn’t actually a good wrestler, she just happens to be fighting other girls who can’t wrestle

I wouldn't touch the ko/sub props on Islam. ITD at -225 is good enough and he could finish him either way.

And why is anyone confident in Paulo Costa lol? He won't finish Sean and he doesn't have the cardio for 5 rounds. He will get drowned in volume from halfway through round 2

@Miguelpicks I am actually, just by sheer hope though, I get why people are high on Morono, he's been active lately, but this is one of Niko's most winnable fights, not saying that Morono sucks or anything, he has good BJJ but he usually wants to strike it out with you, and I think that's where Niko shines, but I'm not confident in Niko that much

Holland probably wins by sub. Oleksiejczuk cannot grapple whatsoever.
