UFC 302 Main Card Picks

Predictions: 10 of 12 Winners, 7 Perfect, 700 Points   |   Tied for 843rd

MAKHACHEV VS. POIRIER

Poirier  |  Submission  |  R2 
( i am just trying to manifest this one, let that man retire with a belt  )

STRICKLAND VS. COSTA

Strickland  |  Decision 
( I think Sean will be able to out pace costa and no allow him to land any dangerous power shots on him, it is a 3 round fight so that could allow costa to keep the fight close )

HOLLAND VS. OLEKSIEJCZUK

Holland  |  Decision 
( Kevin Holland does not have the best history with taking fights on short notice but he will be moving back up to 185 for this one and Oleksiejczuk is primarily a striker so i don't see this fight hitting the ground at all unless Kevin wants it to and Kevin is the much better striker )

ALMEIDA VS. ROMANOV

Almeida  |  Submission |  R1
( Ya idk what Almeida's game plan was in his last fight he was doing really well and just kind  of let Curtis blade finish him but he took Curtis Blade a lot and if you can take Blades down you can take Alexander Romanov down with ease and i think he will finish this fight pretty quickly )

BROWN VS. ZALESKI

Brown  |  Decision
( as good as Zaleski is i just think he is starting to show his age he is 37 and randy is 33 i believe Randy Brown will have youth on his side and on top of just being the more active of the 2 )

@gliese58i 
really? Verdict is actually very great and I use it every weeks

They also let you enter fight picks but it's xp based
They also have a very large pool of users that score each round live, it's pretty great
and its on mobile

for example this was the community scorecard for Islam vs. Volk 1

people were definitely biased towards Alex in this one

I don't have time for other leagues than the UFC but I'll be working less at my regular job next year so I'll probably put even more hours into MMA at that point as I transition to doing it fulltime.

I didn't take it as such. There's probably a lot of money to be made in more regional leagues, they have less scrutiny. I'd probably need to get Fight Pass though or I wont find any material.

I'm really pop-eyed about headkicks and glas jaw comments - 9 of 10 times you don't see headkick incoming and it has nothing common with glass jaw 

I was Koed by headkick when I was young in amateur karate fight, it's like a thunder after you just don't understand what happened

Off topic but interesting outcome of the PFL/Moussasi issue.

Basically this dude thought he was irreplaceable and that it was a good idea to go public and call your new organisation the "worst" and threaten to sue them 

They cut his ass so fast his bum did not touch the ground. Delusional idiot

Perez should win but being -270 in the lowest level of wmma and when she completly gassed last fight is comical.

You realise anyone can be ko'd by a head kick right? Nothing to do with being a "glass jaw"....

Just been looking at some of the new YouTube MMA cappers prediction videos. 

Half of them have thumbnails with them deep in thought, fingers on their chins as if they are solving the mysteries of the universe. 

The others have them looking shocked, or in awe with their mouths hanging open.

Unbelievable cringe.

And all that clowning to get the majority of their picks wrong 

If anyone is interested I'd recommend a listen to the MMA Clown show. That's time well spent
