| Jon Jones | vs | Thiago Santos |
This is the biggest test for Jon Jones ever. I think Thiago Santos is a very worthy opponent. I do not think he’s only a “hard hitter”. He is crafty on the ground, very technical, and very durable. I think he had a fluke loss against David Branch. Jon Jones is the best Mixed Martial Artist ever, and I think that he’ll get the victory here. I think that he has to withstand some storms though. This fight is not going to be like the Anthony Smith fight.
| Amanda Nunes | vs | Holly Holm |
This is a tough fight to call. Holly Holm is a very worthy opponent, and I think she’s going to get it done here. I think she is going to go for technical-point fighting to get the win.
| Jorge Masvidal | vs | Ben Askren |
They call Masvidal’ “gamebred” for a reason, that’s because he’s massively experienced. He knows how to wow the judges, and he knows how to fight dirty. I think Masvidal will be ready for Askren. Askren has only one trick, and one trick is not good enough to beat Jorge Masvidal.
| Luke Rockhold | vs | Jan Blachowicz |
Luke Rockhold will want to show that he belongs in the light-heavyweight division. We get to find out if his chin is suspect, or if he was just draining his strength and dehydrating his brain at 185. I think Rockhold by sub, 2nd Round
| Diego Sanchez | vs | Michael Chiesa |
I’m not a very big fan of Diego Sanchez, in fact, I predicted Mickey Gall to beat him, and I said “count on it” -Damn I was wrong, but I think the Chiesa match-up is tailor-made for him. I see Sanchez beating Chiesa on the feet and Sprawling and brawling his way to a victory here.
| Gilbert Melendez | vs | Arnold Allen |
I think Melendez has been out for a while. I think Arnold Allen is a guaranteed pick here. He’ll get the job done for sure.
| Marlon Vera | vs | Nohelin Hernandez |
Marlon Vera is a fan favorite because he bangs. I’ve seen Hernandez in the LFA and to be honest, I don’remember anything about him. Vera will use his UFC experience to pick up the win.
| Claudia Gadelha | vs | Randa Markos |
Any fighter that gets a boob job during their fighting career -I don’t trust them. It says something about your mindset. Boobs are the last thing you should worry about when your job is to whoop ass. So maybe Gadelha is thinking about modelling or looking good on the beach or whatever. Randa Markos will get the win here
| Alejandro Perez | vs | Yadong Song |
Yadong Song looks unassuming, but he’s an accurate beast. Perez has that never say die Mexican attitude. We’re gonna have a slobber-knocker here. I think Yadong Song will get it done
| Edmen Shahbazyan | vs | Jack Marshman |
Shahbazyan. Easy. Marshman is not on his level at all. Sell all your possessions and bet on Shahbazyan. The real question is how will it get finished. I say first round TKO
| Ismail Naurdiev | vs | Chance Rencountre |
Naurdiev is one of the best grapplers in the UFC. You didnt know? Now you know. He has that grinding Dagastani style, and he is fast and crisp. Rencountre is good, but Naurdiev can easily be top 10 in my book
| Pannie Kianzad | vs | Julia Avila |
I don’t watch the UFC reality show and I don’t follow Invicta at all, so I know nothing about these two ladies. I’m thinking Julia Avila will get the win
The Naurdiev call will be unbroken
