Guys have intense faceoffs all the time and sometimes end up touching foreheads or whatever. What I saw was two fighters taunting eachother and only one fighter cracked. 

Melsik has beaten two fighters that aren't in the promotion anymore and his DWCS finish was the start of a 4 fight lose streak for Collin Anglin. I think hes a very skilled striker but Culibao has already proven himself to me against guys I initially thought were better than him.

Whoever has balls and thinks Volk will win AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA then reply and make a bet put your money where your mouth is instead of trying to make yourselves believe Volk will win you stupid Islam haters

Weird take on the Culibao Melsik faceoff. From what I saw Culibao was making grimaces and then Melsik had a Jeremy Stephens vs Drakkar Klose moment and violently shoved him.
Who's at fault here? Are you gonna flip out because a man is getting up on his tippietoes and sticking out his tongue at you? Doesn't seem like a very professional or mature reaction to me and only endangering the fight needlessly.
Just wait 24 hours and you can be as violent as you want toward him. Bad impulse control if you ask me.

I'm excited for the last 3 fights but that's about it. I'll miss half of the fights due to working and have only a single bet so that doesn't help me get excited. If you have a bet on a fight it's exciting even if it plays out like Ngannou vs Lewis.

Gauche New Predictions

Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 425 Points   |   Tied for 2675th

Lookboonmee vs. Reed
I am with Loma Lookboonmee at -310. She has a lame ankle lock. Lookboonmee will block the corner man.

Bilder vs. Young
I predict Shane Young at -150. He has a villainous dim mak. Young won't avert the natural order.

Pedro vs. Bukauskas
I go with Tyson Pedro at -230. He has a homemade leg kick and a brash gogoplata. Pedro will feign the Octagon.

Mullarkey vs. Prado
I elect Jamie Mullarkey at -275. He has an oppulent heart stomp and a delusional chin. Mullarkey won't reject the opposition.

Brown vs. Maddalena
I prefer Jack Della Maddalena at -330. He has a poignant crotch-hold. Maddalena will ravage the dissentient.

Tukhugov vs. Brenner
I finger Zubaira Tukhugov at -600. He has a qualified heart stomp and a xenophobic indian deathlock and also a resilient diet. Tukhugov isn't about to neutralize the Octagon. Oss!

Makhachev vs. Volkanovski
I want Islam Makhachev at -400. He has a nerdy touch of death. Makhachev should undress the cake.

Jenkins vs. Shainis
I feel disposed to Jack Jenkins at -350. He has a hedonistic left hand and a captivating diet. Jenkins ought to unseat the foe.

Rodriguez vs. Emmett
I select Yair Rodriguez at -185. He has a yummy double knife hand block and a zesty clawhold. Rodriguez might toss the cutman.

Crute vs. Menifield
I love Jimmy Crute at -190. He has an egregious mindset. Crute ought to goad the masterpiece.

Rodrigues vs. Ross
I crave Kleydson Rodrigues at -330. He has a fabulous dragon sleeper. Rodrigues is about to unseat the cutman.

Volk definitely has chances to win this fight. We don't know exactly know how good Islam's cardio holds up compared to Volks gastank. Islam never went past the 4th round and we all know that Volk is a cardio machine. My guess is that both fighters will have their moments in this fight and I can definitely also see a scenario where Islam gets tired and Volk takes over. The one thing that's crazy about this matchup is that I just can't see either guy actually lose. Both fighters are just so domininant. Islam is just a safe choice if you're a betting man, but Volk is definitely a live dog.

Jamie Mullarkey
Mullarkey by submission or Prado by KO. Won't go to decision

Jack Jenkins
Giving Jack homecourt advantage but I have a strong feeling he'll get knocked out round 1. Hope not
