Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks the person that entered Nchukwis demographic information may have made a mistake.

If that man is actually 28 that's wild. He looks like he's been through some ****.

I'm changing some picks around once ceremonial weigh in conclude Taffy Fremd and Miller all looked pretty bad.

There's always the chance Dobson has made some improvements but I have to agree. He's really hard to back at this point.

Even if he has made improvements idk if I can even trust him to use them. I remember I saw tons of people talking about how he was constantly training wrestling against armen, only to not even think of attempting a td that entire fight

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 605 Points   |   Tied for 1382nd

Swanson vs. Dawodu
Hakeem Dawodu, TKO, R2
This is not only a free win, but a finish waiting on a silver platter for a guy whos only got 1 in 9 UFC appearances so far. Cub will make him earn it but Dawodu absolutely has all the skills necessary to cruise here.

Rountree vs. Daukaus
Khalil Rountree, TKO, R1
This is actually a very frustrating fight to breakdown because Chris Daukaus has literally all the skills necessary to win this fight. However, he's shown absolutely no urgency to use them thus far in the UFC. This move to LHW is way overdue but this is about as tough a first look in a new weight class can get. These are two very good but very different strikers. I think Daukaus will be lucky to survive the first 5 minutes if he only tries to strike. His job is on the line here so maybe he makes a good showing of himself, but I think Rountree is just on too much of a roll.

Viana vs. Lucindo
Iasmin Lucindo, DEC
As long as Lucindo doesn't make any critical errors in the first 5 minutes she should cruise here. Viana is skilled enough to make this competitive but Lucindo is well rounded enough to cover her everywhere.

McGhee vs. Buys
Marcus McGhee, TKO, R3
I don't think he should be a 3 to 1 dog by any means but I do think Buys definitely has his work cut out for him here. I could see him having success early with his wrestling but I don't think he'll be able to do it for 3 rounds. I think he's going to tire himself out and eventually get clipped.

McKinney vs. Breeden
Terrance McKinney, SUB, R1
To be fair to TWrecks, 3 of his last 4 fights have been against really, really good competition. There does appear to be a bigger issue that he burns so hot that he literally can't fight 2 good rounds no matter who it's against. Breeden is low level enough that I think McKinney can get him out of there in the first 5, but my god does this fight get way more interesting if it hits minute 6.

Marshall vs. Dulgarian
Francis Marshall, SUB, R3
I could see Dulgarian making a good showing of himself here but Marshall is just a step ahead right now in his development.

Parisian vs. Buday
Martin Buday, DEC
Very hard to not back Buday here who, despite his limitations, appears to be making adjustments and getting a little better fight to fight. Parisian is just bad. It's really hard to find any positives in his game other than saying he can take a punch.

Ruiz vs. Amorim
Jaqueline Amorim, SUB, R1
Conejo is actually decent for an atomweight trying to fight up a division but I have to back Amorim and her grappling here.

Blackshear vs. Johnson
Da'Mon Blackshear, SUB, R1
Not gonna lie, I don't really think this fight is close. JJ is an above average regional fighter who will be lucky to get a win in the UFC. I think Da'Mon has him covered just about everywhere. JJ always has a big size advantage against most fighters but wont here because Blackshear himself is a pretty big BW. I think Blackshear gets his second win and finish in a row.

Miller vs. Santos
Luana Santos, DEC
Miller has some grappling skills but she's not an MMA fighter. I actually think there's a very solid chance she gets submitted here.

Watching Belal literally beat Luque’s brain into a pulp, I can’t in good faith pick him against the next wrestler he fights.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 700 Points   |   Tied for 284th

Luque vs. dos Anjos
Rafael dos Anjos, SUB, R2
I would take Luque kinda confendent if he didn't have brain bleeding, I'm no docter but that seem completly ******, I'm taking and betting RDA because of it,

Swanson vs. Dawodu
Hakeem Dawodu, TKO, R3
Cub is pretty shot, I take Dawudu

Rountree vs. Daukaus
Khalil Rountree, TKO, R1
I can't pick Daukaus because he gets slept pretty quick in his last few fight, But i'm not confendent in Roundtree either because he inconstent and Daukaus is getting Ko'd by the more dangerous people at heavyweight

Viana vs. Lucindo
Iasmin Lucindo, DEC
Viana wins in the UFC are to the scrubs of the division in ****mire,Mallory Martin and Jin Yu Frey, Decent fighter beat her, And even tho she born in 2002, And she could be to young, Lucindo look good

Fremd vs. Pickett
Josh Fremd, TKO, R2
Josh Fremd is under rated, Picket is a jobber to make other people look good

McGhee vs. Buys
Marcus McGhee, TKO, R1
Another Jobber in Buys

McKinney vs. Breeden
Terrance McKinney, TKO, R1
picking McKinney to win this, Breeden is probley the guy McKinney can cold ****, The UFC want Terrance to stay in the UFC because he fun, But Terrance only being able to fight hard for 3 minute, make this fight harder to call, It not that hard for a pro fighter to survive 5 minutes in a fight

Parisian vs. Buday
Martin Buday, DEC
Parisian is ****, Buday is less ****, Buday is also very boring, Picking Buday to put the crowd to sleep

Ruiz vs. Amorim
Jaqueline Amorim, DEC
Hope Amorim improve her gas tank, A 115lb women who can't win a decsion isn't going to last in the division, Gassing out in a round in her last fight is such a red flag even if she look talented

Luque vs. dos Anjos
Rafael dos Anjos, DEC
Without Luques recent brain injury this would have been a very interesting fight to try to breakdown. Knowing that piece of information obviously adds a huge caveat to how this fight should be looked at. If that didn't happen I'd say Luque has an excellent shot of winning considering RDA is coming off a fight where he was finally knocked down for the first time in his entire career. I think RDA's grappling will help him win at least 3 rounds here. I honestly thought Luque was starting to look bad even before he sustained his injury against Neal. I think his style has just finally caught up to him, which sucks cause he's only 31. RDA is at a little bit of a size disadvantage but he's got the experience and is more than talented enough of a striker to survive what Luque is going to throw at him.

No, it was arguably both considering the injury he ended up sustaining. Those fights were booked way too close together. That Neal fight honestly should have never happened when it did. Luque didn't have enough time to recover. Belal beat the piss out of him.

Belal didn't beat the piss out of him, Belal won, But the damage done in that fight wasn't bad, Belal won with wresling and keeping it close on the feet, Geoff Neal was the one who did the damage, People need to stop telling lies,

It literal fact that the brain bleeding happen after the Neal fight

I have a black belt in ****posting? That has to be an all-time top 10 accomplishment for me.

Regarding other recent comments in the thread, Rountree and reliable aren't usually words put in the same sentence.
