Sean O'Malley, DEC
ANNNNDD STIILLLLL!!! Sean O'Malley by decision. This card is a banger and I cannot wait to see this one.
Poirier vs. Saint-Denis
Benoit Saint-Denis, TKO, R2
Dustin getting slept :c
Holland vs. Page
Michael Page, TKO, R2
MVP KO Lets goooo.
Burns vs. Maddalena
Jack Della Maddalena, DEC
JDM out boxes Burns and stuffs burns takedowns OR Burns gets JDM to the ground and smashes on him for 3 rounds. Excited to see what happens.
Yan vs. Song
Yadong Song, DEC
I just think Song is the hungrier, more motivated person here. He knows he's close to being a world champion contender which is motivating enough but with Songs drive, he's ready. I see the upset here, I'm a HUGE yan fan and I just cant trust him to be as.motovated as Song.
Blaydes vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, DEC
Sigh... My boy Curtis is going to get held down like a helpless fish out of water and it's sad. Blaydes is a certified dog and a fantastic wrestler. He's been training wrestling all his life unlike Almeida and if this goes how I'm thinking, just give Almeida a titleshot. He has 0 reason to out wrestle Curtis.
Cerminara vs. Barber
Katlyn Cerminara, DEC
MAYCEE BARBER IS GARBAGE 🗑. I see a HUGE upset happening here. Kaitlyn is 35 yes but, her jab is stiff and quick as lightning, if Maycee wants to stand there and box I don't see this going the way she thinks it will.
Gamrot vs. dos Anjos
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
Gamrot is going to be the unrelenting wrestler like we always see. RDA 4-5 years ago would slap Gamrot around but its 2024 and I'm going to be realistic here.
Munhoz vs. Phillips
Kyler Phillips, DEC
Phillips better check those leg kicks and be as active as Munhoz because I could see Munhoz stealing a split decision here. I just think Kyle is good enough to surpass Munhoz at his age, not in his prime.
Pereira vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R2
I'm going for the upset counter KO from Michal Oleksiejczuk. I see Perira getting the win here though, I'm just seeing if the upset happens.
Lins vs. Cutelaba
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R1
Ion KO round 1 or 2 or he gets countered and we see him get slept himself, going for ION though cause his hands are faster and he's got the age advantage.
Despaigne vs. Parisian
Robelis Despaigne, TKO, R1
Mma Guru is getting slept or Robelis gets fraud checked hardcore.
Vergara vs. Almabaev
Asu Almabaev, SUB, R2
Does anyone really think CJ has a chance? Lmao

Yadong Song, DEC
Petr Yan vs Song Yadong is gonna play out very close - they’re an inch apart in height and have the same reach. Song will be 5 years younger and will probably enjoy a strength advantage over Yan just given their physiques. Both guys fight with a tight high guard and both are very well rounded with good boxing, wrestling, clinch work, and solid defense. Song’s best shot is his lead left hook while Yan’s is his rear hand straight punch - both can land round/fight changing shots with this strike. Yan’s weakness is his tendency to start slow and coasting when he can’t implement his gameplan (pressure boxing). Song’s weakness is his tendency to lose half his IQ when the fight speeds up too fast (he gets hurt, he senses a finish, his opponent throws in high volume) and putting himself in danger. I see the first round being mostly patient with both guys getting reads. The second round is where the action is going to start and I see it being very competitive on the feet. The 3rd will be where I think we see a finish if we see one, depending on whether someone’s able to take over with damage in the 2nd. I like the O2.5 here mainly, with the likely outcome being a decision for one of them (I slightly lean toward Song). Possibly looking for late KO/3rd round props.

Robertson good and great jiu-jitsu. But who she beat in the top 10 or even top 15, she good at finishing mid girls , just diffrent level to Chookie who been top 5 for a decade

Benoit Saint-Denis, SUB, R3
BSD ITD. BSD grappling, pace, pressure, physicality, durability too much here. HE will go for TDs. Man has taken souls at knife range not sure what DP thinks he can do here.
Lins vs. Cutelaba
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R1
No bets on this fight. Both guys are rd1 or bust. under 2.5 is probably juiced. Lins also have 16 canceled bouts so he gotta make it to the cage first lol.
Despaigne vs. Parisian
Robelis Despaigne, TKO, R1
One round of gas on both guys. Never seen Despaigne go longer than 5 minutes has like 6-7 total minutes of fight time. He has the touch of death. If perisan can get Takedowns despaigne wont be able to get up. Rd 1 Despaigne or 2/3 parisian.

I can't imagine Chuck Liddell having the same impact without his Iceman Trunks, Matt Hughes without his “Army of One” T-Shirt or BJ Penn without his signature Shorts with the BJJ Black Belt. Although many of the current personalities are labeled "NPCs", today many fighters are not given space to be themselves.

Marlon Vera, DEC
I just think Vera has a 35 % chance at a Dec maybe even 35/40% so between that and the very real chance he runs zomalley Ragged and starts busting him up late and getting a late finish . The value is on the dog
Poirier vs. Saint-Denis
Benoit Saint-Denis, SUB, R2
Unless something weird happens BSD should ragdoll him and absolutely beat him up early , if Dustin can survive and nnot break Mentally , comes back and takes over late then cool . But even if Dustin survives I don’t think it’s a given he takes over late that hard …
Holland vs. Page
Michael Page, DEC
Feels like a close dec either way . Gotta lean MVP in a striking fight , close tho
Burns vs. Maddalena
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R2
If JDM doesn’t win it will be bc he isn’t who I thought he was . Burns is good but he needs to wrestle and if he can take and hold down JDM more then once illl be surprised and disappointed. Still I get why it shud be lined close
Yan vs. Song
Petr Yan, DEC
Shud go the distance . If Yan isn’t washed then slight lean to him bc it’s a three rounder and Song can keep the striking close enough so that any cage pushing and Takedoen can steal him the fight
Blaydes vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, SUB, R2
Seems to have a solid gas tank with that crazy body. I agree with pickem line tho
Cerminara vs. Barber
Maycee Barber, DEC
One girl is trying to point fight the other tries to bully and hurt you .
Gamrot vs. dos Anjos
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
Line should be wide if RDA had a good camp but .. this guy can just keep shooting over and over … and striking is close
Munhoz vs. Phillips
Kyler Phillips, DEC
Split Dec or competitive UD or a draw
Pereira vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michel Pereira, DEC
Only leaning Michel bc Michal is supposedly not with a real camp anymore . Close
Lins vs. Cutelaba
Philipe Lins, DEC
Coinflip type fight
Vergara vs. Almabaev
Asu Almabaev, SUB, R2
As long as he doesn’t death gad I don’t know how he loses . Big takedown upside , sub upside. Even striking is close , Vergara more tentative these days too
Wood vs. Moroz
Maryna Moroz, DEC
If Moroz doesn’t force the wrestling attempts it could be close but between wrestling upside and Wood retirement talk

Sean O'Malley, DEC
Unpopular opinion: If O'Malley hadn't gotten injured, he would have won the first time. I think he will win easily this time.
Poirier vs. Saint-Denis
Dustin Poirier, TKO, R4
I believe Poirier will shock the arena.
Holland vs. Page
Michael Page, DEC
I'm waiting so much for this debut!
Burns vs. Maddalena
Gilbert Burns, DEC
I think JDM has had problems in recent fights and Burns is too much of a challenge for him. UD for Burns.
Yan vs. Song
Petr Yan, DEC
Yan, UD, nothing else, except very good performence from his side.
Gamrot vs. dos Anjos
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
Mocne wyzwanie, ale jest do zrobienia na spokojnie. Lecisz Gamer!
Pereira vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michel Pereira, TKO, R2
Powinienem kibicować rodakowi, ale Pereira ma tak chaotyczny styl, że myślę, że Michał się nie odnajdzie. Poza tym Njokuani był dosyć blisko by zakończyć walkę na swoją korzyść, więc myślę, że tym razem Michel nie popełni podobnego błędu.

Cutelaba, 2nd Round KO
Cutelaba has finally broken free of the 6'5" black guy/Ankalaev gauntlet and he's a monster if you're not in that category. Lins beats 40yr old's, but now he's nearly a 40yr old... And he couldn't beat Boser who Cutelaba just walked through. MMA math be mathing. Not sure what Lins can do to keep Cutelaba off him.
Petr Yan vs. Yadong Song
Yan, Decision
Song isn't an Aljo/Merab style grappler. At all. Yan beat up and demoralised Suga (we all saw it) - another 2 rounds and Suga wouldn't have a sniffed the belt. He beat up Jose and Sandhagen. Song's good and he'll probably take a round from Yan implementing some grappling, but Yan's so f**king good on the feet. I haven't forgotten that, and Song is stuck with him on the feet for round 2 and 3.
Curtis Blaydes vs. Jailton Almeida
Jailton, Decision
Jailton by cardio assault. Blaydes can probably keep it on the feet in the first, but Jailton is looking bigger and bigger. Roider and roider. Curtis gasses, and Jailton is quite happy to make this fight boring yet tiring to win. I see Curtis being pushed up against the fence for a lot of the fight before gassing and laying flat on his back in the 3rd for 4 minutes.
