I hate to predict it because I like Holly Holm, but I think she is going to lose in the first round,
Then her opponent must be a beastess. The number of very good women MMA fighters has grown exponentially since the build-up and demolishment of Ronda Rousey by this same Holly Holm.
Main card:
de Randamie
Brunson
Souza
Teixiera
Poirer
Prelims:
Muhammad
Reis
Makhachev
McCall
de Randamie is a beast of a kickboxer. I don’t know if Holm’s counterpunching will be enough against her if it stays a stand up bout.
If they go to the ground, then I don’t know what will really happen. I assume de Randamie is terrible off of her back but I don’t know that. I think Holm is competent enough to hold her own.
Bad news, McCall has been hospitalized. Might be a stomach bug or else another bad weight cut (last time he was up he had a bad cut and had to pull out), his fight is off.
I’m guessing one of the 2 fight pass prelims will be promoted to FS1.
My picks
Holm
Brunson
Souza
Tex
Poirier
Brown
Reis
Lentz
Glenn
Carneiro
I`ll take Randamie, Brunson, Souza, Texieria, Miller, Brown
I’ll go with de Randamie, Brunson, Souza, Teixeira, Pourier and I can’t recognize the others, and there’s no way I’m picking “islam”, so that’s it!
That PLO flag better not be on display
Too many mooselimbs fighting tonight. Do not like.
Definitely a muslim filled night.
Poirier leg must be really jacked up!
I think it was only 2.
2 too many you could say.
Anyway, good fight between DP and Jim Miller.
I like Glover and picked him but I’m pulling for Jared.
Glover wins.
All decisions so far.
Jacare taps out Boetsch
Pretty much how I figured it would go down. I like Tim but he seems to struggle against good grapplers.
Everyone seems to struggle grappling against Jacare.
I didn’t know they were doing an interim LW title fight between Khabib and Ferguson. Odd. McGregor hasn’t had the belt long.
I missed that fight on the card. Dang it!
I definitely would have picked Jacare over Boetsch. Oh well.
