Ricky Turcios vs. Benardo Sopaj

Ricky Turcios vs. Benardo Sopaj

What we also saw in Bernardo's UFC debut was one of the most vicious knockouts ever. The type of knockout that will permanently change your chin and ability to absorb damage. If Ricky hit harder I would be very worried for Bernardo here because of the bad KO just 7...
Gerald Meerschaert vs. Reinier de Ridder

Gerald Meerschaert vs. Reinier de Ridder

Reineir is basically the next evolution of Gerald. He has the same dangerous BJJ but much better takedowns. Neither one have spectacular striking, but Reinier uses his length well enough to hang. Reinier should win here and is the pick, but Gerald is the comeback king...
Luana Pinheiro vs. Gillian Robertson

Luana Pinheiro vs. Gillian Robertson

In theory Luana Pinheiro has decent takedown defense and solid striking, so she should be able to beat Gillian. But we saw her get mollywopped by Angela Hill. MMA math doesn't always work, but if Angela Hill is taking you down and submitting you, so is the divisions...
Nicolas Dalby vs. Elizeu Zaleski

Nicolas Dalby vs. Elizeu Zaleski

I get people picking Dalby here. He is an absolute dog and even though he s 40, he hasn't looked it. But the reality is that he is 40. He is also chinny. He has been officially knocked down 6 times in the UFC with many others, like in the Rinat fight, that weren't...
Mansur Abdul-Malik vs. Dusko Todorovic

Mansur Abdul-Malik vs. Dusko Todorovic

I love Mansur in this spot. I love the high level wrestling experience, I love the explosiveness, i love the fact that he works on top. He is a decent favorite at -330, but I'm as confident in that as I possibly can be in a UFC debut. Mansur is the clear pick. Mansur...
Charles Radtke vs. Matthew Semelsberger

Charles Radtke vs. Matthew Semelsberger

Matt Semelsberger is always tough but not very good and I think we have more of the same here. I think Charlie lands the better shots, gets the takedowns if he needs them and wins this fight bell to bell. Matt's toughness will keep him in the fight, but I don't see...
