Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 655 Points | Tied for 1913th
Alexandre Pantoja, DEC
Will I get my 5th main event wrong in a row? Probably. I can see erceg winning but I'll go with the the Brazilian in Brazil in a close fight where erceg lands more but pantoja wins the bigger shots. Don't see either having much success grappling each other. Confidence 5/10
Martinez vs. Aldo
José Aldo, DEC
Biggest question is will Aldo be able to check those deadly leg kicks of Martinez. Aldo is a master at checking them but he's been out for a bit and this is the final fight on his contract so who knows how committed he is. Confidence 3/10
Craig vs. Borralho
Caio Borralho, DEC
Borralho should be smart enough to avoid getting subbed...right? Confidence 7/10
Smith vs. Petrino
Vitor Petrino, TKO, R2
Smith can say whatever he wants to hype himself up but I think he's washed. Petrino is green but shows he can fight through exhaustion & I like that most about him. Confidence 6.5/10
Pereira vs. Potieria
Michel Pereira, TKO, R1
As long as Pereira stays focused and doesn't try to be too entertaining for the Brazilian crowd on a ppv main card he should easily win. The talent level isn't even close between these 2. Confidence 8.5/10
Silva vs. Klose
Drakkar Klose, TKO, R2
Silva is the more dangerous guy but i think klose can push a harder pace. Confidence 5/10
Costa vs. Borjas
Alessandro Costa, DEC
Costa can carry his power late into fights & borjas fades a little more the longer the fight goes plus borjas is from Peru & I'm starting to realize that country is **** at MMA Confidence 6/10
Brito vs. Shore
Joanderson Brito, SUB, R1
Good fight brito is a beast. I doubt shore will have much success trying to grapple brito and brito is way more dangerous. Confidence 6/10
Brener vs. Orolbai
Elves Brener, TKO, R3
Great fight. Orolbai is a good grappler but I don't think he'll be able to control brener all right & I think brener is the more dangerous guy. Confidence 4/10
Silva vs. Gomis
Jean Silva, DEC
Close fight I think Gomis will be the one pushing forward landing the big shots but missing a lot but ultimately getting the decision because Gomis has that soy counter striking style where he's hard to finish but doesn't go enough to get a clear victory. Confidence 5/10
Kowalkiewicz vs. Lucindo
Iasmin Lucindo, SUB, R2
Karolina is somehow on a 4 fight win streak but it isn't against the bottom of the division. I think lucindo runs through her. Confidence 6.5/10
Ruffy vs. Mullarkey
Jamie Mullarkey, DEC
Wasn't impressed by ruffy on contender series. He won because his opponent was gassed from out grappling him all fight but not being able to get a finish. Mullarkey is a punching bag but I think hes a little more well rounded. Confidence 4.5/10
Bonfim vs. Pichel
Ismael Bonfim, DEC
Pichel is the tougher guy but bonfim is the more talented one. Bonfim should beat the 41.5 year old pichel who hasn't fought in 2 Years so if he fumbles this he should be ashamed. This is a gift from the ufc for him. Confidence 6.5/10

Alexandre Pantoja, SUB, R1
Erceg hasn't deserved that title fight yet, that is why he will not be ready for that

Michel Pereira, TKO, R1
Excellent matchmaking - not many fighters would be willing to get into a brawl with Pereira after his last couple of performances but Potieria is one of them. these guys are gonna slug it out like its street beefs and I think Ihor's going to sleep. Its going to be interesting though to see Pereira against someone bigger than him when he usually towers over his opponents.

Caio Borralho, DEC
Caio manages to get himself in and out of bad spots in most his fights and goes on to win a decision. As long as he avoids Paul Craig's obvious gameplan, he should be good to do the same here
Brito vs. Shore
Joanderson Brito, TKO, R1
Jack's first fight at FW was really a tune up after the considerably smaller Ricky Simon rocked and subbed him at BW . Brito's so dangerous I could see a worse version of that fight happening here - I think Brito's overwhelming Jack and getting him out of there early

Vitor Petrino, TKO, R2
hard to trust Anthony Smith to not just be a punching bag at this point in his career but you can't just discount his experience here. Vitor probably gets the KO but if this gets to the ground, it might get interesting

Brener vs Orolbai
Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 670 Points | Tied for 1650th
I am going to trust Brener to not give up on himself and in true chute boxe style go through hell, bleed a lot, survive extremely dangerous moments and somehow win a dog fight in round 3.
The better fighter will not always win the fight.

Paul Craig, SUB, R3
If Paul wins, It has to be a finish. Don't be surprised if it's a TKO!

Orolbay did too much control and too little damage. At the end of rd2 he has mount then Satuev recovers to halfguard and then Orolbay takes side control. It's like the last 60-90 seconds of the round. Orolbay throws one serious punch through that whole time that hits the back of the shoulder of Satuev when he leans away from it.
That was it in terms of dmg or sub attempts and is a good reflection of how much dmg or submission attempts OOrolbay produced compared with how much he focused on grappling control. Just controlling someone is just a change in position, not the primary scoring criteria. Rds 2 and 3 are very close but I'm inclined to agree with Satuev 29-28 based on the main scoring criteria.
