Poirier vs. Saint-Denis
Benoit Saint-Denis, SUB, R3
I'm taking BSD here, but only because I think he's gonna use his grappling against Dustin (who doesn't have a great TDD). But if he tries to brawl, Poirier is gonna toy with him- much crispier on the feet than BSD. Amazing fight !

Pereira vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michel Pereira, TKO, R2
Michel at 185 is a good addition. Let's see if he doesn't **** it around this time.

Despaigne vs. Parisian
Robelis Despaigne, TKO, R1
Easy night at the office for Robelis.

Robelis has to be the guy with the biggest reach in UFC right now (if not ever(?)). 87 inch reach is crazy. If he could spin his hands in right speed he would fly in the octagon like Karlson.

@kushycake 
yeah he does have the biggest reach, it's crazy 87' reach

I think Jones and Struve (6'11 or 7') their reach are like the same 84 or 84.5

Also like what? Ufc always gives out free wins, if it means keeping a card together or making a rising prospect in a certain demographic.

Val Woodburn for example, had to come in on like 4 days notice against one of the best college wrestlers of our generation.

Yeah same. Sadly, my last hope is the week of, hopefully some sorry sucker has to sell their tickets cheaper because nobody bought.

honestly can just see o'malley in the last couple minutes of round 4/5 getting walked down by chito while he's gassed and getting bullied around before he tko/ed

think this one might end like izzy vs Pereira at 281, chito losing the fight but just constantly wearing on o'malley till he cant keep up

Poirier vs. Saint-Denis
Dustin Poirier, TKO, R2
I got Poirier by TKO or Saint-Denis by RNC SUB in the 3rd.

Blaydes vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, SUB, R1
Same pick as I had last time. People sleeping on Almeida cuz of one lackluster performance.

Holland vs. Page
Kevin Holland, TKO, R3
Love some Kevin Holland fights. Low-key rooting for MVP cuz as he said: "he's here for a good time, not a long time." I see Holland getting himself a TKO by the late 2nd or 3rd RD.

Munhoz vs. Phillips
Kyler Phillips, DEC
God I'm really rooting for Pedro here. He's only lost to the elite of the elite of the division. But unfortunately he hasn't been consistent with his performances and therefore I'm going to slightly lean w/ Phillips for the time being. Either way I see this hitting the judges scorecards.

Yan vs. Song
Yadong Song, DEC
I'm a Yan fanboy but I have a gut feeling...

Despaigne vs. Parisian
Robelis Despaigne, TKO, R1
