Khuseyn Shaykhaev is a seriously good prospect out of Russia, he's hasn't fought for three years though. I have no idea why that is but hopefully he's been training and improving. I'm assuming he's going to the LFA because his VISA finally got approved and he's looking for a spot on DWCS or signed outright to the UFC. A really interesting fighter to keep an eye on.

@taiga he has been out for three years because he was waiting for the matching period on his ACA contract to expire. Hes gotten his visa now and has spent the past few years at Kill Cliff

McKee vs. Hernandez
Mitchell McKee, TKO, R3
Both guys have opposing styles so this should be interesting. McKee has been using his hands more but I don’t think his striking is that special. He hits really hard but needs to improve. Hernandez has a boxing background & his hands are really nice from what I’ve seen. I think mckee wins with his wrestling. I really like his wrestling
Shaykhaev vs. Lima
Khaseyn Shaykhaev, DEC
Really sucks the wrong shaykhaev brother is fighting. Idk about this guy but he seems good & also has been at kill cliff
Talundžić vs. Dawson
Haris Talundžić, SUB, R1
Talundzic is not nearly as good as I thought but this is a layup. He needs to improve his standup & defense but that shouldn’t be an issue here. Dawson has been ko’ed a ton but I think talundzic will grapple him
Kulshin vs. Gunnison
Nikita Kulshin, DEC
Big step up for Kulshin. He is green but a complete fighter. Very sharp kickboxing, good counter striking, and really good wrestling in the back pocket. I hope he can get a dwcs shot after this, he is one of the next guys coming out of kill cliff
Caldwell vs. Romano
Darrion Caldwell, DEC
Never heard of this Romano guy but this is a step down for Caldwell. I think Caldwell is embarrassingly washed but he still has solid wrestling. Caldwell doesn’t do anything on top and has bad cardio so if Romano pushes a pace and is able to get up we could definitely see an upset here
Blockhus vs. Griffin
Michael Blockhus, TKO, R1
Blockhus seems promising, shocked pfl didn’t keep him with the Bellator merger. Yeah he’s 1-0 but you could easily build him up
Walters vs. Gjelaj
Shad Walters, DEC
Good prospect fight

Really unfortunate that Khuseyn Shaykhaev pulled out, I was really hyped to see his return. Hopefully we will see him soon so he can get on DWCS.

I found out the deal with shaykaev, originally it was supposed to be khusein fighting, but he got injured so it’s his twin brother replacing him. I knew they were related but had no idea they were twins lol

McIntyre vs. Legorreta
Katarina Legorreta, DEC
I was sitting next to McIntyre's mom her last fight, and had to explain what happened and why she got DQ'd. Will never forget that, she seemed so worried

Original New Predictions
Predictions: 7 of 10 Winners, 3 Perfect, 425 Points | Tied for 272nd
McIntyre vs. Legorreta
I am loyal to Kendra McIntyre at -200. She has a vicious facebuster and a zany stutter step. McIntyre will likely threaten the crowd noise.
Shaykhaev vs. Lima
I prefer Khaseyn Shaykhaev at -225. He has an exotic head coach. Shaykhaev won't drain the feat.
Bowers vs. Young
I am loyal to Cheyanne Bowers at -350. She has a luxurious anaconda and a delicious gas tank and also an eccentric clavicle crusher. Bowers might quiet the cake.
Nielsen vs. Vincent
I am sticking with Jeff Nielsen at -150. He has a laudable inverted facelock. Nielsen will employ the ring announcer.
Blockhus vs. Griffin
I am all about Michael Blockhus at -800. He has a sincere randleplex. Blockhus will likely incorporate the natural order.
Walters vs. Gjelaj
I feel disposed to Nicholas Gjelaj at -165. He has a venomous five point palm exploding heart technique. Gjelaj is gonna yank the underdog.
Kulshin vs. Gunnison
I crave Nikita Kulshin at -450. He has a xenophobic inverted atomic drop. Kulshin is about to warp the cake.
Talundžić vs. Dawson
I have got Haris Talundžić at -650. He has an accurate kneebar. Talundžić must whack the production.
Smith vs. Ynastrilla
I take Christian Ynastrilla at -165. He has a casual stutter step and a passionate mindset. Ynastrilla is gonna undermine the cake.
McKee vs. Hernandez
I am sniffing Mitchell McKee at -650. He has an ironic overhead chop. McKee shall blend the unthinkable.
II vs. Martin
I want M,A,Yah II at -500. He has an accurate fight IQ and a jaunty bicycle kick. II shall avoid the chosen one.
