-Max Holloway: I’m disappointed that the UFC is having Jose Aldo get this title fight instead of Cub Swanson, after Frankie Edgar dropped out. The vast majority of the time. I’m talking like 19 out of 20 fights, when an imcumbent champion loses the belt to the younger, up and comer, that the rematch not […]

Bisping vs Gastelum, Jingliang vs Ottow, Wang vs Caceres Fight Picks
-Kelvin Gastelum: Not too many fighters are 26 years old and already have 11 UFC fights. And not too many of those that do have as good a record as Gastelum has which is 8-3. He’s only going to continue to get better and won’t even be in his prime for another couple years. To […]
Werdum vs Tybura, Rawlings vs Clark, Means vs Muhammad Fight Picks
-Fabricio Werdum: Marcin Tybura has a 3-1 UFC record. 32 years old. I think this is a horrible matchup for him. Tybura lost to Tim Johnson in his UFC debut by being outwrestled and grinded. Werdum has the skills to do the same thing and take the fight to the ground if he wants, where […]
Poirier vs Pettis, Brown vs Sanchez, Arlovski vs Albini Fight Picks
-Anthony Pettis: Very unpredictable fight with Pettis vs Dustin Poirier. Looking at how Pettis has been doing, I’m tempted to go with the younger Poirier who is still chasing a title shot. Because once champions lose their titles, they’re usually never the same and not as effective. But Poirier hasn’t been that great either. Poirier […]
Bisping vs St. Pierre, Garbrandt vs Dillashaw, Jedrzejczyk vs Namajunas Fight Picks
-Georges St. Pierre: It was March of 2007. I remember it well. 44 year old Randy Couture came out of retirement to upset heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia. It was one of the most exciting fights I’ve seen in the UFC. And how did Couture pull off the upset at such an old age? Sylvia couldn’t […]
Machida vs Brunson, Maia vs Covington, Munhoz vs Font Fight Picks
-Derek Brunson: I remember watching Brunson years ago and him being a boring fighter, mostly using his wrestling. But since 2015, Brunson has switched up his strategy to try and steamroll fighters and it’s been working with spectacular results, with 5 of Brunson’s last 7 wins coming via first round knockout. Meanwhile, Lyoto Machida is […]
Cowboy vs Till, Kowalkiewicz vs Esquibel, Blachowicz vs Clark Fight Picks
-Donald Cerrone: Easy fight to pick. Darren Till isn’t ready for this fight. Yes, he’s undefeated at 15-0 and 24 years old. Yes, it’s even possible he could be a future champion. But he’s not far enough along yet in his development to beat a guy like Cerrone. Till’s debut knocking out Wendell Marques was […]
Ferguson vs Lee, Johnson vs Borg, Werdum vs Lewis Fight Picks
-Kevin Lee: UPSET SPECIAL 1: This is what I call a filet mignon type of main event. As in a high quality, sizzling upper echelon fight. And not every UFC card, much less pay per views, have them. Lee’s ascension has really reminded me of the rise of Robert Whittaker. With young fighters, sometimes at […]
St. Preux vs Okami, Gadelha vs Andrade, Gomi vs Kim Fight Picks
-Ovince St. Preux: Shogun gets hurt. Yushin Okami steps in to take the fight at 205 lbs. Ok, makes sense. Okami is 185 lb fighter that can fight at 205 lbs without a weight cut. Ok. Wait, Okami has been fighting at 170 lbs lately?? What? Oh no lol. So he’s going to jump from […]
Rockhold vs Branch, Perry vs Reyes, Lombard vs Smith Fight Picks
-Luke Rockhold: The fact that Rockhold is fighting David Branch really goes to show how UFC middleweights still fear Rockhold in not taking the fight with him. Before losing the title to Michael Bisping, Rockhold finished a who’s who of the best in the world at 185 lbs. Chris Weidman. Lyoto Machida. Bisping in their […]
