I know it's already been said a few times but if Soldatkin can't get buddy out in the 1st Round he's absolutely done for.

I like how every time these cards come up, the main thing we all talk about is the heavyweight fight, lol.

HW always has that shine I guess because they are bigger than most people, the one shot ko potential is higher.
I see the 170 and 135ers stealing this show gonna be a lot of fun!

Predictions: 4 of 5 Winners, 4 Perfect, 350 Points   |   Tied for 3rd with 5 others

Two things up for discussion...

Can Ernesta take a punch? Obviously, she has a kickboxing background but her whole MMA career was women clinching her and taking her down. She never took a heavy blow. We know this fight will stay on the feet. I want to predict this fight to go the distance but Judice's film is great. Her speed is way above average which is a concern for ernesta especially with 4oz gloves. Is the decision favorable? 

Forest vs Barlow-- We know Forest is the more well-rounded fighter, but he rarely throws straight punches. Barlow on the other hand, throws powerful, well-timed straight punches. Typically we see straights land before looping shots which is why I favor Barlow on the feet. I would assume Forest will clinch and bring the fight to the ground... What makes Forest that much of a guarantee?

Judice TKO is a good bet, she fades later in fights so she will likely pressure for a TKO and her boxing is crisp enough that she can actually get it. 

Pizzaman's top pressure is pretty good, if he manages to land on top and if Soldatkin gasses, Pizzaman could definitely get a GNP or SUB finish. 

Madrigal can chin Oliveira.

Barlow has better fight IQ and reaction/timing.

can make a reasonable argument for every dog on this card.

I saw Mario dominating each second. Not giving up the opponents any room to rest.
95% on here doesn't want to read the full breakdown. They wanna hear: Mario Piazzon has a great chance to win and get a contract!!!

Qualified New Predictions

Predictions: 2 of 4 Winners, 1 Perfect, 125 Points   |   Tied for 956th

Oliveira vs. Madrigal
I lean towards Vinicius Oliveira at -400. He has a genuine tsuri-dashi. Oliveira will drain the cake.

Kareckaite vs. Judice
I am taking Carli Judice at -175. She has a scintillating kouchi gari. Judice will nullify the chosen one.

Soldatkin vs. Piazzon
I can't get enough of Alexander Soldatkin at -450. He has a bonkers bear hug. Soldatkin could heal the corner man.

Silva vs. Pacheco
I prefer Danny Silva at -210. He has a venomous inverted atomic drop. Silva is gonna drain the previous pitfalls. Mark my words!
