How that guy even made it to the cage, let alone fought for almost 10 minutes, is absolutely insane. I need to do a much deeper dive into this fight having now learned that, especially since Rodriguez missed weight.

Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
Islam is probably going to win, but it wont stop me for rooting for Volk
Rodriguez vs. Emmett
Yair Rodriguez, DEC
Think Yair just going to be to varied and to slick for Emmet. Emmet could find success with grappling but main thing would be his power, but dont see him landing consistently
Brown vs. Maddalena
Randy Brown, DEC
Big fan of both of these, think lot closer than odds have it tbh
Crute vs. Menifield
Jimmy Crute, DEC
think Menifield has a round to nuke Crute or he'll really stuggle, but can easily see Menifield smoking crute early
Pedro vs. Bukauskas
Tyson Pedro, TKO, R2
big fan of both of these
Culibao vs. Baghdasaryan
Joshua Culibao, DEC
think the grappling and gas tank of Culibao is going to be the difference here, Melsik has gassed a couple times and Culibao is ok to grind out for 3 rounds
Mullarkey vs. Prado
Jamie Mullarkey, TKO, R1
Kinda hard to see how good Prado is with the level of competition hes faced.

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 0 Perfect, 450 Points | Tied for 2072nd
Mullarkey x Prado FDGTD 1.5 unit
Tyson x Bukauskas FDGTD 1.5 unit
Menifield ITD 0.2 unit
Brown x JDM Over 1.5 + Rodriguez x Emmett Over 1.5 0.3 unit
Jenkins x Shainis FDTGD + Islam x Volk Over 1.5 0.3 unit
Ps: I still think a parlay with Jenkins + JDM + Islam is a good one ( or Jenkins x Shainis FDGTD + JDM + Islam)
Edited: I usually don't like to bet under 2.5 rounds, so I decided to go with FDGTD for both of the fights. Prado is coming on short notice, both love to brawl, so I can't see this one going to a decision (to add, Mullarkey got dropped, but also dropped Johnson in that fight, and could have gotten a finish there, but Johnson is a tough SOB).
In the Tyson fight, I expect a finish from him under 1.5 rounds. If he gasses, Bukauskas will probably finish him, even though a decision is possible too. I'll root for Tyson to get it done ITD.

Joshua Culibao, TKO, R3
Was going with Melsik but he was a **** at weigh-ins and Culibao has a MUCH tougher resume so I flipped
Rodrigues vs. Ross
Kleydson Rodrigues, TKO, R2
Could be a tough night for the home crowd
Mullarkey vs. Prado
Francisco Prado, TKO, R2
Hard to pick against Mullarkey in Australia vs. a 20 yr. old but he is undefeated. What the hell, why not
Lookboonmee vs. Reed
Loma Lookboonmee, TKO, R2
Nobody's nipples can actually be that low can they?
Bilder vs. Young
Blake Bilder, DEC
Young is actually younger despite his experience. Strange. I don't usually pick fighters who wear sunglasses to weigh-ins but might be doing it twice on this card.
Tukhugov vs. Brenner
Zubaira Tukhugov, DEC
What a ****** fight. Definitely rooting for Brenner.

People in Umar's last fight were saying the same and what happened? 1st round KO.
After this you will say the win doesn't matter because Volk is a 45'er

For those betting on Menifield (big mistake imo) I'd suggest you read this.
Crute is going to destroy him.
