Chris Curtis, TKO, R3
I expect Barriault to give Curtis the exact type of fight he wants.

Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R3
I've recently become strangely confident in Dricus in this fight, but i'm terrible at predicting Strickland fights so we will see!
Allen vs. Evloev
Movsar Evloev, DEC
Wow this was actually a really tough one for me to do, can Evloev grapple f*** Allen for 3 rounds i'm not confident he can but think he wins in a close fight

That said I do think MBS and Rocky are two of the more entertaining fighters in that division because they're both down to throw hands and brawl, especially MBS. At least the days of Holly Holm headlining cards is over.

I think Bueno tested positive for an ADHD medication.

There you go, that should score a few orders of magnitude higher on the ******ation scale than picking Martin Buday. I will take the L if anyone of them is still unbanned and able to celebrate.

I'm going to trust that Gillian will be able to take the fight to the ground.

Mayra Bueno Silva, SUB, R3
I could see a Pennington decision. But Bueno Silva is too live, too dangerous with her ground game in a 5 rounder. She’ll likely catch Raquel in a sub to take the belt.
Magny vs. Malott
Mike Malott, SUB, R1
Clearly a purposeful booking to escalate Malott into the rankings. Prior to his decimation to Ian Garry, Magny nearly lost to Phil Rowe - and Malott is levels above him. Malott by stoppage, to the delight of Dana and co.
Curtis vs. Barriault
Chris Curtis, DEC
Curtis by decision or late stoppage. Barriault will keep it on the feet - just where Curtis likes it. You can’t go from war with “Eryk Anders” and expect to beat a ranked middleweight.
"Stop Hyping Mid."
