Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 665 Points | Tied for 424th
Francis N'Gannou, TKO, R1
I'm actually a little surprised this fight isn't closer to 50/50. But I also understand why ¾ of the peeps got Ngannou by KO.
Maia vs. Martin
Anthony Rocco Martin, DEC
HUGE STEP-UP for Tony Martin in this one. But I think it's one of the better top 15 matchups he coulda gotten matched up. I think Martin's wrestling and BJJ keeps him safe for the most part, and just out-points Maia from the outside on way to a Decision.
Pichel vs. Roberts
Roosevelt Roberts, DEC
Look, I like Vinc Pichel. He's like your fighter's, fighter. Took that looong layoff and came back in the best form of his career. But this is your classic older guy vs. younger kid, kinda fight..... Which "usually" favors the young kid. Like here. But Vinc Pichel is as tough as microwaved calamari. Veryyy tough to finish. Kinda chewy tooo.
Dober vs. Reyes
Drew Dober, DEC
I wanna see Drew Doober roll up Polo Reyés, annnd smoke em! Reeaaally push to finish ...

ngannou by ko 1st or 2nd round
i thought the line would be closer, but truthfully i think its about right. i dont see jds getting past the 2nd round.
FORMIGA vs BENAVIDEZ
benavidez by decision or late stoppage.
should be a good fight.
MAIA vs MARTIN
maia by sub round 1 or 2
i think martin is way over matched if he tries to go to the mat with maia.

Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R1
I hate when they do this. Put two guys together, that you wouldn't pick in any other matchup. Menifield just gasses hard if he can't finish you in 1. And Bear Jew... 1st off, WHAT IN THE ****ITY **** IS A BEAR JEW!? A Jewish Bear??? That doesn't sound derogatory at all.. Anyways. Menifield HAS TO knockout Craig in 5 mins, otherwise he'll gas hard as **** and be submitted. Pick your poison I guess.
Moreira vs. Anders
Eryk Anders, TKO, R1
Vinícius Moreíra was most likely brought in to get Anders a win, so Uncle Dana doesn't hafta cut him off. Eryk "Noooo ******* Fight IQ" Anders has potential to be goood. Maybe a better camp or something. We know how strong, athletic, and explosive he is... He just needs to learn more techniques or something. He's by far, one of the guys that gets me screaming at the ****** TV, throbbing veins popping outta my forehead and steam blowing out my ears. He makes me that madd. BUT, if he can't murder Moreíra, maybe he needs to go back to the LFA for a little. And maybe hit up American Top Team or something.
Gordon vs. Moret
Jared Gordon, DEC
Like Matt Brown before him and a few others, Jared Gordon is a fighter. Yeeaaaa nooo ****, he's gotta UFC fight booked. That's not what I'm saying. Anyone that can kick a heroin/opiate addiction is a fighter. Strong Mind and Will. And will fight and stop at nothing to obtain their goal. I think that goes pretty much hand in hand with combat sports of any kind. You know he's got what it takes to dig deep for a win. That's my kinda guy.
Lungiambula vs. Townsend
Dalcha Lungiambula, TKO, R1
These Africans are taking over..... MMA and Boxing. That's really how I feel. But it's a goood thing if you think about it. Just shows how popular MMA and/or Combat Sports has grown in other parts of the world. Which is very important to the growth of the sport...... Atleast you'd think.
Greene vs. Albini
Maurice Greene, TKO, R2
Júnior Albini is a hot, steamy, pile of dog ****. And someone should ban him from wearing his shorts like a reusable diaper. And Mo Greene isn't that special either. Dude forreal needs to stop cutting down his reach advantage. It's like he doesn't understand how to use his outstanding 82' reach. He crowds on the inside, just cutting away any advantage his great frame gives him. Drives me nuts.

I got Rocco via Colby-esc performance vs Maia.
Martin is bigger, meaner, tougher and in his prime. Revitalized career. Plus, the woman Rocco rolls around with at night is big enough & has the grappling skills of Maia, if not better.

roberts by decision or late stoppage.
i see way more potential in roberts than i do in pichel. should be a good fight but i'll take roberts for the late finish.
DOBER vs REYES
dober by ko round 1 or 2
this could be a war for as long as it lasts, both men like to stand and bang. i give dober a considerable advantage in power and a better chin. plus hes fought way tougher competition.
MENIFIELD vs CRAIG
craig by sub round 2 or 3
neither of these guys ever makes it into the top 15 imo. they are just card filler. i think craigs standup is good enough to get him past the first round and then he'll get a sub. craig has fought the better competition.

ANDERS vs MOREIRA
anders by ko round 1 or 2
if anders loses here hes done imo. i dont know if there is really any way to teach fight IQ, but if there is eryk needs to sign up asap.
GREENE vs ALBINI
greene by decision
i have been completely disappointed by albini, i think the ufc wants to show him the door. another loss and hes out. greene is 4 inches taller and has a 10 inch reach advantage. if he cant win a decision here he needs to be gone also. this is another who gives a **** fight. zero confidence in the pick

Junior dos Santos, TKO, R2
The first round will be a good feeling out process, if JDS doesnt get it hit with a bad KO early. Going into the second I see JDS coming out quick and pressuring Francis with his boxing and ending it with a classic TKO
Formiga vs. Benavidez II
Jussier Formiga, DEC
Jussier striking has gotten better, and his ground game/submission game could cause problems for Benavidez. I see it being a grinding fight and Jussier coming onto with the Decision

Junior dos Santos, TKO, R3
i feel like junior has been underrated for a while now, even by myself, and that his glass chin is more of a myth than a fact. he's a better boxer than francis and he should be able to dance around until he gets tired from eating jabs.
Formiga vs. Benavidez II
Joseph Benavidez, DEC
i think joe knows this is his last real shot to make something happen and that he'll play it safe in order to keep the dream alive.
Maia vs. Martin
Demian Maia, DEC
i was about to say martin can choose where the fight takes place, but now i'm not sure he has the wrestling to do so.
Pichel vs. Roberts
Roosevelt Roberts, DEC
pichel is a tough dude, but roberts looks like a prospect they wanna push so i'll assume this is a good matchup for him.
Dober vs. Reyes
Polo Reyes, TKO, R2
this one could be exciting as both guys usually come to throw hard. guess i'll go with polo just to take an underdog and make things interesting. his boxing is pretty good so i don't feel too awful on the pick.
Craig vs. Menifield
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R2
been fun watching craig pull off last second subs, but there's only so many times that will happen.
Ramos vs. Newson
Ricardo Ramos, DEC
no idea what to make of newson, but ramos is a pretty well rounded prospect with seemingly a bright future.
Moreira vs. Anders
Eryk Anders, DEC
thinking anders should have an advantage standing and should be smart enough to not engage on the ground without doing damage first.
Griffin vs. Murdock
Jordan Griffin, SUB, R2
just goin with the consensus here, not familiar enough with either guy to have a real reason for the pick.
Gordon vs. Moret
Jared Gordon, DEC
gordon should pose more of a problem in his fights than his results show.
Lungiambula vs. Townsend
Dalcha Lungiambula, TKO, R2
no good reason, just feeling like they want dalcha to win and promote him alongside the other african stars.
Whitmire vs. Ribas
Emily Whitmire, DEC
i'd pick a lot of girls over whitmire and i'm tempted to take ribas, but the layoff combined with poor level of competition has me going with the favorite.
Greene vs. Albini
Maurice Greene, DEC
mo is just more dynamic i think.

Great movie; ultraviolent like all good tarantinos and definitively worth watching if you haven't. Way better than Django unchained...that was ****e apart from Leonardo who played the masochistic racist redneck royalty excellently.
