Jon Jones vs Thiago Santos
I think I nailed this prediction. You know what – Its like I can retire from predicting because this was so good. I predicted this to be the toughest fight of Jon Jones’ career, and it was. The judges gave the fight to Jon Jones, but I actually think that Thiago Santos won this fight. He was was more active, and I think he won that telling 5th round.
Amanda Nunes vs Holly Holm
I got this one very wrong. Nunes just looked better than Holm, and I don’t even think Holm has what it takes to out-point Nunes. All through-out the fight Holm was looking like meat, then Nunes fed her a hard fake and nailed her with a head kick
Jorge Masvidal vs Ben Askren
I couldn’t predict the fastest KO in UFC history, but I did predict the correct winner. To beat a fighter like Masvidal you need to have a REAL game-plan, it cannot be “just wrestle” – He’s way too mature in combat for that. gamebred is an apt nickname.
Luke Rockhold vs Jan Blachowicz
Now we know for sure that Rockhold has a soft chin. He was battling so hard for the takedown in round 1, because he knew that his striking was horrible. I messed up on this pick again
Diego Sanchez vs Michael Chiesa
I predicted that Sanchez would win, and I was wrong, Sanchez wanted to grapple with Chiesa for some odd reason, and it was never going to work out, a bad pick on my part
Gilbert Melendez vs Arnold Allen
I nailed this pick. Arnold Allen just has good old-fashion fundamental English striking, its actually very refreshing to see.
Marlon Vera vs Nohelin Hernandez
Vera has the ability to click through the gears and switch into beast-mode, and that’s exactly what he did to Hernandez. He said screw this, and decided to finish the fight. Got this one right
Claudia Gadelha vs Randa Markos
It seems as though Markos was just fighting for the check, and nothing more, she got beat by a girl with a boob job. I’m not too angry at myself for getting this one wrong because i’m not interested in either of these ladies
Alejandro Perez vs Yadong Song
I thought that Perez would go deeper in the fight. Song shut those lights off early crazy-style. His striking is accurate and his speed is remarkable. Bantamweight is so rich – I feel very proud of myself that that I got this pick right
Edmen Shahbazyan vs Jack Marshman
I nailed this one so hard. I hope you guys sold all your possessions and bet on Shahbazyan. I got first round pick right, and I missed out on getting the method right, hindsight is 20/20, but I should’ve predicted a sub., because Marshman has a big tough head.
Ismail Naurdiev vs Chance Rencountre
I got this one wrong, and I underestimated Rencountre’s grappling. I’m still high on Naurdiev, but I’m even higher on Rencountre now. Some guy’s can just survive, and I think Rencountre is one of those guys.
Pannie Kianzad vs Julia Avila
Kianzad isn’t that special, and Avila is very raw. I think Avila can be much better, but she just needs to go a little harder in training
7/12 I feel like that’s bad for me. I’m upset with myself for calling Holly Holm and Diego Sanchez
The Jon Jones prediction was unbroken
