Aljamain Sterling, TKO, R3
Nice to be back, and for a good card. I think this card is absolutely one of the best cards of the year to bet parlays on. I already have about 20 parlays locked up and ready to go on this. I feel very confident with my reads on this card. This a good one and a great spot for Aljo. He wrestled Cejudo with ease and I can only guess what he is going to do to O'Malley. Sean will likely be hesitant and will get caught with takedowns in the open and once it hits the ground he is getting controlled. I feel Aljo is going to make a point of this and extend it out till at least the 3rd round when Sean tires and slows and then he will likely pound him out. TKO rather than submission is my guess.
Zhang vs. Lemos
Weili Zhang, TKO, R4
Again I think WeiLi is going to make a statement here. She will likely out wrestle and out strike Lemos who was finding it hard to separate herself in the striking from Hill. I expect domination here with a late TKO as Lemos gets tired.
Magny vs. Machado Garry
Ian Machado Garry, DEC
Garry should be sharper, faster and more skilled. My one concern is if Magny can wet blanket him and grind him out against the cage. But I think Garry takes it and it goes over 1.5 rounds if not to decision. I am hesitant to put Garry in too many parlays though because I could see the cage grind happening. But the judges should score damage if they actually do their jobs for once. Pick is Garry by decision.
Vera vs. Munhoz
Pedro Munhoz, DEC
Never been completely sold on Vera and I think this is a horrible match up for him. Munhoz is better everywhere and has never been knocked out. Also Vera will give up round 1 and stay on his back if taken down. Best underdog bet of the card for me.
Rodrigues vs. Tiuliulin
Gregory Rodrigues, SUB, R2
Rodrigues wins this however he wants in my view, he is better everywhere and I don't think Denis has the one punch KO power you need to end Robocops night. If it hits the ground like it should then it will be curtains for Denis.
Meerschaert vs. Petroski
Andre Petroski, SUB, R1
Again Petroski is better everywhere, including as a grappler and a much better wrestler. This should end early and not make it to the famed round 3
Lee vs. Silva
Natália Silva, DEC
Destruction.
Moroz vs. Silva
Karine Silva, SUB, R2
My one concern is if Moroz can put up a decent takedown defence and Karine gets tired trying to take her down. Moroz has decent boxing but Karine is the much better fighter. It should be a showcase spot for her.
Holobaugh vs. Hubbard
Austin Hubbard, DEC
Holobaugh is dangerous with his close in fighting and combinations but Hubbard will likely use his wrestling and take a decision.

Da'Mon Blackshear
Wow great fight, though I have not had a lot of time to research this. Off the top of my head I think Blackshear's wrestling overcomes Mario's ground game. I also do not trust Mario's chin completely. I am taking Blackshear who I have always felt had top 15 potential.
Weidman vs. Tavares
Brad Tavares, DEC
Mmmmm, this is a tough one. What will Weidman look like coming back from that injury after such a long lay off at that age? That said they have given him one matchup he could win. Tavares has some of the best takedown defence however, and if Chris can't get it down it could be trouble. Coinflip in my opinion but I am going to say the lay off and injury is too much to just recover from in his comeback fight. Tavares by decision though I am not confident.

Gerald Meerschaert
Predictions: 10 of 12 Winners, 7 Perfect, 705 Points | Tied for 480th
The Khamzat Chimaev loss was especially bad as not only was he now 6-6 in the UFC but that stoppage was one of Khamzat Chimaev most replayed wins from his initial introduction to the UFC. The amount of time the one-punch stoppage has been played by the UFC for promo is insane and being a fighter stopped twice in a row and one is against one of the biggest rising stars in the promotion must have played on Gerald's mind constantly.
Most including myself saw Gerald as just another name in the UFC for rising prospects to test themselves while climbing the UFC ladder also being 2-5 in his last seven was not good information to go on if we looking to predict the future of Gerald Meerschaert. Surprisingly Gerald came back better than he was before once again going 4-1. Winning three in a row while subbing all 3 of his opponents the Makhmud Muradov win was very impressive as Muradov was on a 14-fight win streak. He would lose to Krzysztof Jotko via decision but many felt as though Meerschaert could have gotten the nod for the win. He would bounce back with a big stoppage over a very good striker in Bruno Silva going 4-1 before getting stopped by Joe Pyfer in the first.
At 35 now he once again finds himself fighting a fierce up-and-comer in Andre Petroski. Even though I think Petroski has enough to get the job done Meerschaert has shown many times that he is capable of surprising everyone and this weekend don't be surprised if he does he was able to put that 17 seconds highlight away in the past and move forward which in my books deserves some recognition.
