Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 520 Points   |   Tied for 983rd

That number is way to high but I think -400 would be a very accurate line. Maybe a little higher than that actually, -600 would be better

Jaiton could be top 5 right now at 205, He would do awful thing to Lion heart who ranked 5, Also would destroy Hill who ranked 6th, It's a good thing to let Jaiton get more experience espacally if he want to kept fighting at heavyweight, I'm not sure how good Jaiton will be at heavyweight, But I still think he be pretty good

The way Jailton toyed with Parker Porter was very impressive to me, thought he'd have a little more trouble.

I like Anthany Smith, I just don't really believe in bottom jiu-jitsu fighter, Especially Smith, he just get held down trying for submission, Submission from guard rarely work, He won't get a sub on Jaiton, And Jaiton will just smash him on top, Also think he beat Jamahal Hill because Jamahal Hill can't wresle either, I confident Jaiton could beat most the top light heavyweight right now who ain't Rakic, Jan, Jiri, Glover and Ankalive

Jaiton is going to be something, He reminds me of Khamzat the way he smashes people

This event relies on the main event too much.  There are maybe two to three interesting fights for me on this one. Regardless, I will watch it of course.  :)

I think rakic can give hard fight to jailton he's size is similar as jailton and have good wrestiling
Jan has no takedo2m defense, I think Jailton win easily
Ankalayve has great striking and not bad wrestling but
Not enough defense jailton's takedown, Jailton get on top and demolish him
Glover has good ground game but I think jailton's strength will overwhelming glover skill
I think jiri vs jailton is great fight 
If jiri survive in ground and stand up I think jiri's heavy hand and pressure and make trouble to Jailton

Predictions: 5 of 7 Winners, 0 Perfect, 280 Points   |   Tied for 4121st

Chimaev vs. Diaz
Khamzat Chimaev, TKO, R3
Diaz is one tough and durable son of a *****, with that being said Khamzat is not only a great wrestler, that Diaz has struggled with in the past but he has amazing GNP and Subs, I think he gets a GNP W over Diaz, although I NEVER EVER count Nathan out.

Li vs. Ferguson
Jingliang Li, TKO, R3
Tony is my favourite active fighter and has been for like the last 6 years, kills me to see him lose, but I trust and hope he wins, I think he'll be dangerous and looking for blood, he'll have his moments as well, but the Leech has dangerous power and Tony was KO'd like in May, one summer away against a bigger KO artist is dangerous, typical Tony.

Aldana vs. Chiasson
Irene Aldana, SUB, R3
Chiasson is good, Aldana is better.

Walker vs. Cutelaba
Johnny Walker, TKO, R2
Wild bastards going for wild shots, Walker is more reach and stab approach, Cutelaba is a bomb dropper, both get tired later, but Johnny will get the KO he is looking for in Round 2.

Holland vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, DEC
D-Rod is so criminally underrated, great striking and I don't think Holland troubles him much, he'll get the underdog dub.

Dumont vs. Wolf
Norma Dumont, SUB, R1
This is MMA, unless Wolf lands a bomb, then in that case, this is Boxing.

Pickett vs. Tiuliulin
Jamie Pickett, TKO, R2
Pickett is such a strange fighter.

Collier vs. Barnett
Jake Collier, SUB, R2
Collier is very strange, good hands, poor defence, looks terrible at times, over, looks like he's whooping someones ass on the motorway, rooting for Barnett, but I think Jake is the better overall fighter.

Dawodu vs. Erosa
Julian Erosa, SUB, R2
Dawodu is great, but Juicy J is on form.

Almeida vs. Turkalj
Jailton Almeida, TKO, R1
Jailton is apparently the dark horse at 205lbs and HW, so yeah Jailton via Kill over last minute DWTNCS fighter.

Dawodu vs. Erosa
Julian Erosa, SUB, R3
This is an interesting one. Erosa has a terrible chin and no defense but he always brings the fight. If he avoids the ko I think he will pull off the classic comeback sub 

Weeks vs. Lainesse
Darian Weeks, DEC
Yohan is a solid fighter for about a round. If weeks avoids the ko he should grind out a decision

Almeida vs. Turkalj
Jailton Almeida, TKO, R1
Turkalij is a good fighter but jailton should roll here

Chimaev vs. Diaz
Khamzat Chimaev, TKO, R3
I have the terrifying feeling that Khamzat gasses out from Nate being a punching bag and gets finished

Li vs. Ferguson
Jingliang Li, TKO, R2
This kind of reminds me of rockhold vs costa; tony is better everywhere but you can’t beat age and damage

Aldana vs. Chiasson
Irene Aldana, TKO, R2
I wonder what the line is on fighter doesn’t make weight lol

Walker vs. Cutelaba
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R1
Walker doesn’t have the meme guillotine that Spann had so ion should just dominate him with wrestling and then get a meme ko. This is a coinflip tho u have no chin walker vs no iq ion

Holland vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, DEC
Oof man this is a tough one.

Dumont vs. Wolf
Norma Dumont, SUB, R2
I feel like one takedown should easily win dumont the fight but who knows with low level wmma

Pickett vs. Tiuliulin
Jamie Pickett, DEC
This fight is ass I want Pickett to lose but I feel like sadly he’s just gonna wrestle to a decision

Anheliger vs. Alateng
Heili Alateng, DEC
Cmon Chad is 35 and was losing to strader before the ko; dude is straight ass. Heili isn’t great but he’s making improvements at fight ready

Reed vs. Martinez
Melissa Martinez, TKO, R3
Pretty excited for this one. Reed finally fighting a striker so hopefully we get some good back and forth. Melly is very violent and I think she gets the ko here

Collier vs. Barnett
Jake Collier, TKO, R3
Freebie for collier. He was robbed against arlovski so he’s getting a layup here. This will be less competitive than Barnetts last fight

Martinez has been gone for 3 years while Reed has been way more active.  

Here is a crazy stat for you:

Since Martinez last fought in 2019 vs Desiree Yanez, Reed basically started her MMA career and has fought 7 times since Martinez last fought.  I have never seen anything like this before.  

Reed definately is a good dog because it's women's MMA but who the hell knows.

True about Martinez not competing in MMA but according to MMA Junkie she was 2021 kickboxing world champion. So she hasn’t been completely inactive.
