Horiguchi

Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 500 Points   |   Tied for 120th

Horiguchi by decision

I like Ray Borg.  I'm happy he stopped doing the brutal weight cuts to 125.  He was missing way (no pun) too much and I think it took a big toll on his body and performances.  But I have to back Horiguchi. Borg is just too hittable and leaves himself open to damage.  I also think Horiguchi can outgrapple him here.  If he proves me wrong and he can end up taking control of Horiguchi on the ground and get the win, so be it and salute to him.  But I have to back the legend.

Pico vs. Gonzalez
Aaron Pico, DEC
Gonzales really impressed me against Cody Law, who is well rounded and athletic. But Pico is more experienced and much more dangerous. I might change this pick to a finish because Pico is aggressive.

High confidence on Weber Almeida 🤣 I don't typically use emojis, but this is exactly how reading this bots predictions makes me feel 🤣🤣🤣. This man has got to be an AI troll. There's no way anyone can be that bad at making predictions

Stots vs. Mix
Patchy Mix, DEC
Ignore Props. Can't stress enough, in a betting perspective, there is alot to like in Mix, never finished, BJJ/wrestler with Mckee-esque boxing, almost a future generational fighter. Stots could outstrike him, but there is value in Mix's overall game, especially in back-mount sterling game plan. Tons of value at Mix at ~2.1. When dog picking, although may lose sometimes, its always good to choose a dog who never been finished and very game.

Stots vs. Mix
Patchy Mix, DEC
I think Stots makes way too many mistakes. He's got great standup, but i think Patchys length will be able to neutralize Stot's striking enough for him to be able to get a take down.

Pico vs. Gonzalez
Aaron Pico, TKO, R2
Pico still is one of the most talented Martial Artists in the entire world.

Borg vs. Horiguchi
Kyoji Horiguchi, DEC
Borg looked solid in Eagle Fc, but I think Horiguchi's movement is going to be a big problem for him.

What was the best bet and absolute lock of the card?

That Ray Borg does not fight.
