There was at least one other venue that was also small besides the Apex but I can't remember where that were. But I remember people being surprised over it on the night.

Yan vs merab card. It was in some hotel in Vegas and was small and intimate like the apex. I think it's because they had power slap or road to ufc or some **** at the apex that weekend.

Lewis vs. Nascimento
Derrick Lewis, TKO, R1
HWs weird as always to bet, but Rodrigo has shown a good chin recently & KO-ed by Daukus 5 fights ago....I'm taking the Black Beast
Buckley vs. Ruziboev
Nursulton Ruziboev, TKO, R1
Buckley used to struggle with the power at MW & now he's fighting a monster that should be there & is 9 inches taller.
Menifield vs. Ulberg
Alonzo Menifield, DEC
I'm taking the huge dog Menifield & hopefully he clinch& makes the fight super grindy & drags Ulberg into deep water. Or he gets KO-ed
Ferreira vs. Rębecki
Diego Ferreira, DEC
I'm taking the monster dog Diego
Caceres vs. Woodson
Alex Caceres, DEC
Taking the small dog Bruce Leeroy for his bouncy elusive kicking kung fu style to go after a phenomenal boxer with baby kicks
Cortes-Acosta vs. Despaigne
Robelis Despaigne, TKO, R1
Sketchy untested but MONSTER Robelis by KO Rd 1 and FAST.
Hooper vs. Borshchev
Viacheslav Borshchev, TKO, R2
I'm taking Slava Clause by KO. Hopefully he's able to keep it on the feet or stay safe enough. He may not have the most power, but you don't need the most to take out Hooper.
McKinney vs. Ribovics
Terrance McKinney, SUB, R1
I'm taking McKinney by KO/Sub Rd 1 but def hedging Ribovics by KO Rd 2/3
Ricci vs. Torres
Tabatha Ricci, DEC
Taking Ricci by Dec and one of more confident picks. O 2.5
Waters vs. Goff
Trey Waters, TKO, R2
Taking Waters by KO. Hopefully he uses his range well and pieces up Goff.
Hadley vs. Johnson
Jake Hadley, DEC
Going to be a crazy fight but taking Hadley by Dec. Prob either by dec. Def O 2.5
Gooden vs. Jousset
Kevin Jousset, DEC
Taking Jousset by Dec/KO. He has some crazy judo & good height/punches. Just so slow & not to be trusted/might be chinned.
Aldrich vs. Hardy
Veronica Hardy, DEC
Taking the new & improved Hardy via Dec & one of the O 2.5 plays

Waters vs. Goff
Billy Goff, TKO
Trey Waters is a flawed tall fighter. He doesn’t pump the jab nearly enough and doesn’t have great control of range. He found success in his UFC debut against Josh Quinlan, mostly because Quinlan fought at the range/pace Waters wanted. Quinlan basically just spent the fight standing out at range, throwing single shots and struggling to get into the pocket. Waters does well when he can stand outside and pot shot, but I believe Goff is the kind of guy who can break him. He keeps a punishing pace, throws insane volume, is durable as all hell, and, more importantly, throws combos that allow him to battle his way into the pocket. Gabriel Bonfim had success in a similar way, using combos to crash distance, which exposed Waters lackluster distance control and defense when he’s under attack. I also believe that, on the ground, Goff has a pretty decent advantage in terms of his wrestling. All in all, Goff is a junkyard dog, and I really do believe he’s got the skills and killer instinct to push a crazy pace, land with volume and eventually get to Waters.

I love how everyone has gone from calling Ruziboev an utter fraud to saying he will beat a gun like Buckley after an eye poke victory and a fluke win. Just like at one time you were all calling Cedric Dumbass the best prospect outside of the UFC.
You guys really can't make up your minds can you? This is why I don't take any of your Dumbass opinions seriously.

Aldrich vs. Hardy
JJ Aldrich, DEC
Everyone loves Veronica Hardy, but Juliana Miller and Jamey-Lyn Horth are not impressive wins. Aldrich should be a hair better everywhere and win a close, but unanimous decision.

Lewis vs. Nascimento
Derrick Lewis, TKO, R1
To me this is such an easy one to call. I understand Lewis is old and not the same, but let’s be real here. This man is not losing to Rogerio Nascimento. He straight up doesn’t lose to unranked guys. He got dominated by Almeida but Almeida is Nascimento if he was actually legit and not a bum. His skills are unimpressive everywhere. I easily see a big time Black Beast KO
Buckley vs. Ruziboev
Joaquin Buckley, TKO, R2
I initially had Ruziboev but I had decided on Buckley. I just can’t trust Nursulton against legitimate competition. Joaquin is a dawg and has made actual improvements since the beginning of his career which is very impressive. He holds a considerable size disadvantage but lucky for him I think that could favor him. He has long arms and what I see happening is him darting his way into the pocket and cracking Ruziboev, from there I feel like Ruziboev will not know how to react and get finished. Of course he has a great chance of knocking Buckley out but I’ll take the proven product
Menifield vs. Ulberg
Carlos Ulberg, TKO, R2
Fun fight here for sure. Menifield is a strange case. He’s huge, slow and lumbering at 205 but he makes it work somehow. He went from losing horrible fights to William Knight to beating Dustin Jacoby. Of course Jacoby is old and inconsistent but still an impressive win imo. He wins with moments and big explosions but his big problem his his durability and defense. Mainly durability. If you catch that man clean he’s going to sleep, of course it’s vice versa with Alonzo but still. The skill gap I think is too wide here as well. Ulberg is just so slick with counterpunching and capitalizing on mistakes which Menifield makes a ton of. I see it be slow paced until Alonzo puts his chin out there and gets slept
Ferreira vs. Rębecki
Mateusz Rębecki, DEC
Poor Ferreira. He’s still a damn solid fighter just not quite the same guy. Rebecki on the other hand has looked like a world beater in all but his debut fight which made me fade him against Loik. That was a mistake. I now rate him about where I had him at before the Fiore fight, a top 15 staple. Of course we’re gonna have to see a greater step up after this but I see him dominating this one. Especially in the later part of the fight
Caceres vs. Woodson
Alex Caceres, DEC
Banger fight. It’s strange to me people are so high on Woodson here. I know he’s exceedingly long for the weight class but nothing about him impresses me. His boxing his slick but nothing super crazy imo. I think the awkwardness of Caceres is gonna throw him off big time. He gives you so much to think about too. I could easily see him dropping Woodson and choking him out but I’ll go decision
Cortes-Acosta vs. Despaigne
Robelis Despaigne, TKO, R1
Goofy fight. Robelis has so many unknowns. He’s a freak athlete there’s not denying that. It’s just a matter of if he can get all his other tools in mma going. Waldo is decent but I think the sheer power and physical dominance of Robelis is gonna carry him to the top 15. Of course he could **** his pants here but I’m gonna say he comes thru for this one
