Volkanovski is the master of 5 rounds. Then again, Topuria is more hungry for this title.

Going with the Chinese fighter Mountain Tiger.. last loss was 5 years ago(Sub, last KO was almost 6 years ago) and he's been pretty active. He's also a kill or he killed fighter. Brazilian has been knocked out twice in his last 5. I think Brazilian either gets countered from being too aggressive or he just gets walked down and smoked. Either way , bet the under 1.5

@pashaboyer both of them are can crushers, however, Claudio Ribeiro’s younger brother seems to have beaten dudes who have a better resume than Zhang, not by a lot though

LOL if it's McCarthy D'Amato and Cleary that's the holy trifecta of incompetent/corrupt judges. Those score cards could be literally anything.

Ilia's back will be on the floor for 5 rounds. Volks condition n skills is above Ilia, I see a sub or tko in 4-5 rounds. Only thing Im worry about is the jet lags.

I know Dern looked like trash in her last fight but I think she beats Lemos all day here. Can’t understand how she’s paying more that $2 on Sportsbet ? Lemos has low output and however good her sub game is, Dern trumps her in that area. Although Dern’s striking can look desperate at times she can certainly throw with a lot of power. There is also an age factor here with Lemos 36 years old now. I have Dern in this one and comfortably

I know the point deduction in the Dolidze/Imavov fight makes it weird, but McCarthy essentially just gave Dolidze round 4 instead of judging that round objectively and scoring it 9-9. All 3 of them had different scorecards too, because D'Amato and Cleary as usual didn't agree on what they saw despite both giving the fight to Imavov. Cleary essentially said it was pure domination from Imavov, where as D'Amato called the fight a little more evenly.

When I saw it was the same crew for this main event, I had to share considering majority of people taking Volk think he will win by decision.

Whittaker vs. Costa
Paulo Costa, TKO, R1
I’m smelling an upset here. The Whittaker pick is just too obvious, I think Costa shocks everyone.

I think that if Topuria's english accent was more masculine and he knew the language a bit better, he'd be getting a better reception.

Ilia was trying wayyyyy too hard to pull a Conor. Immediately when he started saying **** to the crowd within minutes after Flabby's question, I cringed in a way Henry could only dream of.

Volkanovski vs. Topuria
Alexander Volkanovski, TKO, R4
The great will give this kid a good ole fashion spanking in the ass to teach his little ass some discipline

Whittaker vs. Costa
Robert Whittaker, DEC
I feel like this man doesnt pack a punch, but keeps the pace up, so i see this becoming a WAR.

Neal vs. Machado Garry
Geoff Neal, TKO, R3
Hands'O'steel will mess him up for 3 rounds till the cuck just gives up and falls to the ground.

Dvalishvili vs. Cejudo
Merab Dvalishvili, DEC
if he stands for Mexico, i want him to win automaticly.

Hernandez vs. Kopylov
Anthony Hernandez, SUB, R2
IDK bout yall, but i feel like A. Hernandez takes this. His wresting is great and he goes for the kill once your on the ground.

Rogério de Lima vs. Tafa
Marcos Rogério de Lima, DEC
I feel like Pezao takes this by decision. He has solid hands and packs a punch, but is over looked to his loss against Derrick Lewis. I feel like he is just gonna mess him up for 3 rounds.

Nakamura vs. Vera
Rinya Nakamura, TKO, R1
Mofo really a hybrid with his past wresting. He gonna ragdoll Vera around the cage before Ko'ing him cold.

Zhang vs. Ribeiro
Brendson Ribeiro, TKO, R1
Brendson Ribeiro takes the massive cake here. He is a power puncher but has a hell of a reach. a little above 80 inches and he is younger.

Quinlan vs. Barlow
Danny Barlow, TKO, R2
Bushido is cool asf, but i gotta give it to Danny Barlow as his reach is hella long. 80" reach for a 6'3 mofo.

Woodburn vs. Elliott
Oban Elliott, TKO, R1
Val Woodburn getting his ass starched by Oban. Plus, he short af too, 5'9 and a middleweight???

As much as I love Whittaker and respect his entire MMA career, I think this is the end of the road for him. I believe Costa wins this Saturday and Whittaker either retires or takes a long break from MMA to spend with his family. He is a classy guy and has reached a level a success that most in MMA will never reach but I think his chin is gone. I understand that he says he was injured during his fight against Du Plessis but I think he is not the same fighter anymore regardless.

Whittaker from a few years ago I would easily take by decision but I don't think this version of him willl survive this fight but I could go be wrong. Should be exciting either way.
