UFC 261 Picks

So the UFC rolls on, fans will be back, and we get another PPV card that we really dont need IMO, Its just fulfilling some kind of contractual deal that the UFC has. I think it’s a matter of time before the UFC stops doing this, because Bellator is getting good, and if Bellator stays on this track, I think they’ll make people wonder why they’re buying UFC PPVs at all. I think the PPV maincard fights are good, everything else is either low level/unknown – That’s what the UFC usually does on PPVs, so they can give the big names “more money” and pay the undercard fighters peanuts. OK… these are tough to pick… I’m guessing the UFC put all the Chinese fighters that were supposed to be on the Chinese version of DWCS on this card.

Kamaru UsmanvsJorge Masvidal

OK, So a lot of people think that this fight will play out the same way that it did in the 1st fight. I dont. I still think that Masvidal beats Usman in the striking department, and I think that Masvidal will be better in the wrestling department. I picked Masvidal to win last time, and I’ll pick him again this time. Kamaru Usman is extremely smart, and I think this will be a very very competitive fight

Weili ZhangvsRose Namajunas

I think this is a very close fight. I think Weili gets it

Valentina ShevchenkovsJessica Andrade

All that is playing in my mind is the small amount of success that Jennifer Maia had against Shevchenko on the ground. Is Val confident in her body again, after coming off surgery? I say yes. I have Shevchenko here

Chris WeidmanvsUriah Hall

I dont really care about this fight TBH, I dont know why we have to see it. I got Hall, but I think this fight is close

Anthony SmithvsJimmy Crute

I think Crute takes this

Randy BrownvsAlex Oliveira

Oliveira is a toss up, but I think Randy “rude bwoy” Brown will beat him with fundamentals

Dwight GrantvsStefan Sekulic

This is a pretty close fight. Give me Grant

Brendan AllenvsKarl Roberson

If Brendan Allen gets the clinch, its over. I got Allen

Tristan ConnellyvsPat Sabatini

I like Pat Sabatini here

Danaa BatgerelvsKevin Natividad

I dont think Natividad will knock Batgerel out. I think Batgerel can Knock Natividad out. Simple. Batgerel

Zhu RongvsRodrigo Vargas

I like Vargas here. Hopefully he can keep his head on straight

Jeff MolinavsQileng Aori

I got Molina here

Ariane CamelossivsNa Liang

I think Camelossi gets it done. Dont ask me why

The Brendan Allen call will be unbroken
