Mainly wondering with those two fights since I’m stuck on either sticking with Prado and McKinney or switching to Azaitar and Sadykhov.

Bro I just realised the fights are today. I was really hyped for it for some strange reason yesterday and the day before that but today it feels like I've been up forever and done a million things and we've got what? 5 hours left to go before it even starts?
12 hours more until I can go to sleep LMAO, I'm getting too old for this ****.

McKinney Bounces BACK!

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 575 Points   |   Tied for 2124th

BIG day for McKinney

New Camp (he was the best at his old gym now working with Trailblazer and Hill
Had an eye poke injury going into last fight. (No excuses though right?)
Worked a lot on striking defense 
Having a way better weight cut (not as chinny?)
Longer reach
Better fight history with known fighters

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Kevin Holland type of submission

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 525 Points   |   Tied for 2664th

Holm vs. Bueno Silva
Holly Holm, DEC
i'll say mayra can't get holly down early enough or often enough.

Maddalena vs. Hafez
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R1
double weight cut could lead to a more competitive fight but i'll still say that jack gets him out of there early.

Azaitar vs. Prado
Ottman Azaitar, TKO, R1
ottman is a lot less technical than mullarkey, but he has more power. prado's wins have been over guys that were fighting rookies & jobbers so it's really hard to assess what his finishes mean.

Duraev vs. Park
Albert Duraev, DEC
park likes to crash in and bully his opponents for takedowns, i think duraev can stuff him and disengage.

Dumont vs. Chandler
Norma Dumont, DEC
if dumont can stay upright, she probably has the crisper striking.

McKinney vs. Sadykhov
Nazim Sadykhov, TKO, R1
terrance looks great for 3 min and then starts to melt when his cardio goes so nazim can definitely catch him if he stays calm and mobile.

Lutz vs. Baghdasaryan
Tucker Lutz, DEC
i'm gonna take the chance here. lutz has a hard time getting going when he's defending td's, but melsik wants to stand, so i'll say he can push his own grappling and get melsik tired.

Nunes vs. Dudakova
Viktoriya Dudakova, DEC
nunes works well at range, but her opponents eventually find their way in and take her down.

Lingo vs. Costa
Melquizael Costa, SUB, R2
not sure what to expect here at all so i'm just gonna go with the bookies and say costa can find td's?

Valdéz vs. Elder
Evan Elder, SUB, R2
valdez has probably had better competition both in and out of the ufc, but i think elder will be able to mix it up more.

Nam vs. Maksum
Azat Maksum, DEC
no idea what to make of azat and if he gets overaggressive nam will be there to counter, but i'll say he can still mix it up and force tyson to adjust.

Deaton III vs. Munoz
Alex Munoz, DEC
ok so the spin here seems to be that munoz wants to wrestle and deaton might not be able to stop him early on. question is who can last longer?

Evans-Smith vs. Perez
Ailin Perez, TKO, R2
too hard to trust ashlee right now after a long layoff combined with negative momentum. perez doesn't seem like much more than someone the ufc thinks "looks" good so this is might just be lined up as a retirement fight for evans-smith.

I feel like Dana or the matchmakers should have a big meeting in the locker room and tell everyone on the card "**** wins or losses tonight, just go out there and go for the kill". like i honestly think if they gave everyone an undisclosed bonus (locker room bonus), say like winners get a randomly high amount, $70-80k, and maybe give the loser half if they went out there and tried to put on a good fight. i think this kind of **** has worked in TUF, so if you just give the fighters a right incentive they will go out there and try to kill or be killed, or at least deliver a crowd-friendly fight. i really think something like that could "save" this **** card

Maddalena vs. Hafez
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R1
Man. What a mismatch. I’m glad they found a fight for JDM but this is gonna be a sub minute slaughter

McKinney vs. Sadykhov
Terrance McKinney, SUB, R1
This is a banger of a fight. I feel like Terrance needs this one badly. This is his chance to prove he wasn’t a flash in the pan. I like Nazims skills but he has a lot of openings that can be exploited by a guy like Terrance. He can find the KO but I see a sub as Nazim does have questionable grappling defense at times

Nam vs. Maksum
Azat Maksum, SUB, R2
Man this is a rough one for Nam. Rough loss his last time out and he gets a harder fight here imo. Azat is as legit as the 16-0 would suggest. Good competition on the regional scene and solid all around skills. He’s fast, powerful and pretty solid overall on the feet. He can get a little crazy but he makes up for it with good willpower and durability. His ground game is disgusting. Slick technique in his takedowns, solid control and very aggressive with submissions. Nam on the other hand is a man with a ton of experience in the sport. He’s a big flyweight who hits hard and always comes forward. His main issue is volume and sometimes he’s too slow to counter. He’s often behind but he’s able to come back in quite a few cases. I doubt that happens here though. Azat is too good anywhere the fight goes. He can win on the feet or on the ground. I think he’ll be able to find the shot that drops Nam, then follow it up with an RNC or front choke

You see it 😅 some things are much bigger and more fake looking. Look at the weigh-in vs her Tap pfp.

And she can do what she wants lol, just in terms of the sport it's interesting

On Hafez, respect to him for buckling down and making weight. It's a short notice fight that everyone expects him to lose, and he looked all business at weigh-ins like he wanted everyone to screw off until he dropped the last half-pound.

It almost never works for me but I'm strongly considering switching two of my picks.

I think Azaitar and Chandler have a very, very good chance of winning.

Sure but it's not worth it because the opposite is also true, your current picks have a very good chance of winning, and it's way worse to change out of a winning pick imo than it is to change into one.

Sad I missed a guy with a negative post score asking GMs to ban someone because they post two sentences a week.  That's good comedy baby.
