Predictions: 4 of 7 Winners, 3 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 1439th

Iaquinta vs. Cerrone
Al Iaquinta, DEC
This is about the point that Cerrone tends to hit his top. Looks great for a couple fights in a row getting everyone thinking he will finally get over the hump. Then he throws in a stinker of a loss. There was a reason he left 155 and the tough weight cuts. He looked miserable at the weigh in today. Has stated that 155 is no fun for him to get down to. Iaquinta on the other hand looked really good at the weigh in. Ragin Al has gained some respect from me in the loss to Khabib and the 2nd win over Kevin Lee. This has the makings for a good fight but Iaquinta takes it. I will say be decision just because Cerrone is a tough guy. But I could see a TKO developing. Either way the pick is Iaquinta

Sanchez vs. Barriault
Marc-André Barriault, TKO, R3
I like the value on Barriault from a betting perspective. Sanchez has gassed bad in fights before and can be knocked out. However Sanchez has a style that could give Barriault a tough time. I will pick a late TKO by Barriault in what could be a semi entertaining back and forth first 2 rounds. Or it could be Sanchez pressing Barriault against the cage for 15 min. Not exactly sure but I will sprinkle a small bet that Sanchez does tire enough to lose this fight at some point

Katona vs. Dvalishvili
Merab Dvalishvili, DEC
This is a step up in competition for Katona and his O will go here. Merab is the better fighter from the better camp right now. This most likely goes the distance with the takedown machine Dvalishvili grinding out a win. Unless these Canadian judges get mookie and favor the home countrymen. I have seen that happen before.

Brunson vs. Theodorou
Derek Brunson, TKO, R1
Ehh, why not. Ring Boy just looking for a good excuse to self-medicate anyway.

Swanson vs. Burgos
Cub Swanson, DEC
Yeah, I'm with the tap majority that Cub is being written off a bit prematurely. Should be a great fight.

Katona vs. Dvalishvili
Merab Dvalishvili, DEC
Logically, Katona has the skills to point fight and win but Dvalishvili doesn't believe in logic. Chaos!!!

Moras looks to be in the best shape of her career, kind of expecting her to test/bring out the best of Macy

Moras vs. Chiasson
Macy Chiasson, TKO, R3
Last i checked on Bovada, Chiasson was an absurd and kinda shocking -800 favorite... That's like undefeated Ronda Rousey vs. Everyone kinda odds man.. So which is it,... Is it that Chiasson is that goood, or that Moras is that badd????

Yeah will be interesting to see how he deals with Brunson. I mean look at their records, they are literally the polar opposite of eachother.

They didn't adopt the new rules but added the use of instant replay anyway?
