Muhammad vs. Sato
Belal Muhammad, TKO, R1

Nurmagomedov vs. Poirier
Khabib Nurmagomedov, DEC
I think Khabib uses his wrestling to get late round stoppage or decision.

Makhachev vs. Ramos
Islam Makhachev, DEC
I think Makhachev's wrestling and submission defense lead him to a decision win.

Blaydes vs. Abdurakhimov
Curtis Blaydes, DEC
I think Blaydes' wrestlimg beats Abdurakhimov's striking.

You’re in-denial Phillip. Khabib got ******* tagged and wobbled by Johnson and Iaquinta. You saying he has good standup is ridiculous. Only reason why he dropped Mcgregor was because Mcgregor was too worried about the takedown therefore he wasn’t paying attention to his striking. 

Khabibs striking is horrible. Pushes in a line and throws wildly. UFCs top 10 lightweights beat Khabib in a pure stand up fight. Delusional.

Omg I got downvoted because I said Khabib has horrible stand up and top 10 LWs would beat him in a stand up fight which is true.. how am I ever going to move on with my life. Boo hoo! Lol!

Khabib fans are worse than Mcnuggets fans and Nate Diaz down syndrome fans.

@Numb i agree tell these soy cucks how real alpha males get down. Khabib doesnt even eat bacon! Thats real alpha male dinner material, its my main source of protein. I only eat bacon and other meats ( salami , beef, corn fed chicken ) like Brock Lesnar. Vegtables and fruits and all that stuff is for soy beta male vegans. Alpha ****s, beta bucks. We never hold the door for her, or pay for date. That is her boyfriends job.

@numbnuts  This quote perfectly sums you up.  I can only point out the fact that you're a mentally ******** **** boy so many times.

Nurmagomedov vs. Poirier
Khabib Nurmagomedov, DEC
Khabib has everything he wants for this fight in his mind. Father in his corner for the first time in the UFC. His teammates on the card. Fight in Arabic land. A very worthy opponent. You can see it in the lead up to this fight that he is supremely in his element before this fight. His even more calm demeanor, his even more sense of representing Islam, his even more sense of I must smash you. This will be the best Khabib the UFC has seen. To beat him on this night would be the greatest win in UFC history. Porier is a great fighter. Calling for him to lose here is not statement about his ability but he just has an opponent right now that I don't think would lose to anyone on Sept. 7th. In what will be an epic encounter Khabib gets the win. I am not saying Khabib runs right over Porier. Far from it. What I am saying is Khabib will do what he always does and win this fight. Both of these fighters will go down as worthy combat foes.
