I really like Holland, and he's never really lost a boxing match. But D Rod is too good to be that big of an underdog.

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 470 Points | Tied for 1655th
Khamzat Chimaev, TKO, R1
Khamzat might play with him a little, but he can definitely finish the fight in the 1st round, if he wants to
Li vs. Ferguson
Tony Ferguson, DEC
Haven't been impressed with Leech, I hope Tony let's his hands go, let's go El Cucuy
Holland vs. Rodriguez
Kevin Holland, DEC
If Kevin is smart he's gonna fight on distance behind his jab and leg kick, pls don't go in a war with D-rod
Aldana vs. Chiasson
Irene Aldana, DEC
Macy might wrestle her, but gonna say Aldana cause I like her
Walker vs. Cutelaba
Johnny Walker, TKO, R1
Walker has no chin, Cutelaba gasses 3 minutes in. I'm actually pretty confident in a Johnny Walker KO
Dawodu vs. Erosa
Hakeem Dawodu, TKO, R2
Both have weak chins, but Dawodu is a way better fighter
Almeida vs. Turkalj
Jailton Almeida, TKO, R1
Jailton will run though Anton, that swede is not UFC level
Pickett vs. Tiuliulin
Jamie Pickett, DEC
Tiuliulin looked better than I thought he would in his last fight. But I just can't pick him
Collier vs. Barnett
Jake Collier, DEC
Barnett is gonna gas out
Dumont vs. Wolf
Norma Dumont, DEC
I just can't pick Danyelle
Anheliger vs. Alateng
Chad Anheliger, TKO, R2
Chad is cool, I hope he wins, he's quite small tho
Reed vs. Martinez
Elise Reed, DEC
Reed looked terrible in her last fight, against a not so good opponent, but Melissa is really not good, that record isn't saying anything
Weeks vs. Lainesse
Darian Weeks, DEC
Yohan hits extremely hard but his technique is off and his cardio is trash. Weeks is pretty average but will outpoint him

Irene Aldana, DEC
Might be an interesting matchup to watch

Someone is going to sleep here...Both are heavy hitters...

Wolf is unknown quanity, Dumont has a good ground game...
Anheliger vs. Alateng

Anheliger on a 5 win streak...

Kevin Holland, DEC
This fight ( and maybe the Aldana one as well) is the only thing separating this card from a Bellator blockbuster. I love a Bellator freakshow from time to time, don't get me wrong, but from the UFC I except fighters like Nate Diaz to fight the likes of McGregor or Robbie Lawler, and Chimaev to fight elite fighters like Covington or Usman, or even a title fight at this point. Why is on old injured legend on a 4 fight losing streak like Ferguson getting feed to a ranked killer in his prime like Jingliang a weight class above his in the ******* co main event ? The card will end on two very sad and predicable beatings, nobody will be satisfyed. Well at least Erosa vs Dawodu and Cutelaba vs Walker are fun and well matched scraps...

Khamzat Chimaev, TKO, R2
The first round will be Chimaev pushing the action with Nate playing it cool until he gets caught being too lax on the ground in the second.

The real question is in which round Chimaev loses.

Tony vs Li
Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 0 Perfect, 400 Points | Tied for 2769th
Pros for Tony -
Faster, more dynamic, better ground game, big reach, more volume. Has fought everyone in the LW top 5.
Cons -
Is his chin really that bad? Caught by a massive kick last time. Winning the fight until then. But has not looked himself recently. Moving up a weight class is probably a negative but who knows?
Li was losing to Salikhov until he slowed down. His win condition is basically a KO

I'd put more stock in an Anheliger finish than I would a Casey finish at 135. Idk if I can pick Anheliger here, I just know he'll go for that shot even if it's a bad idea lol.
