Don't get me wrong, I think Brenner is a very good fighter, but I don't think he's gonna be able to defend all of Orolbai's takedown attempts. If he can, then that's his best chance.

Yeah, his wrestling defense is sus (Van had success against him in this department), so Alessandro should take him down pretty easily... But if it stays on the feet, then I'm sure Borjas's chances are way more considerable.

Steve Erceg, TKO, R4
Pantoja is gonna gas out, then hes gonna throw wildly and shoot for take downs. Erceg will find ways to count him then BAM! A big counter right comes into play and knocks down pantoja, he isnt out tho, Pantoja gets up, dazed. He cant process whats going on until BAM BAM BAM! Erceg hits him with a right hook, uppercut to the body, and a left hook. Pantoja falls to the canvas, he looks up and see's Steve Carrell perform a diving strike. This bout ends with a tko win, making erceg, the new austialian flyweight of the world.
Martinez vs. Aldo
Jonathan Martinez, DEC
Fight of the night contender???
Smith vs. Petrino
Vitor Petrino, TKO, R1
Petrino is a beast, he will knock the teeth out of old man smith.
Pereira vs. Potieria
Ihor Potieria, DEC
I have a gut feeling that Potieria does the job by having better boxing and cutting the distance. God, please make your warrior win, please.
Craig vs. Borralho
Paul Craig, SUB, R1
Never buying on this dudes hype. Arguably lost against Abus and has pillow hands. Hope you lose this easy fight.
Brito vs. Shore
Jack Shore, DEC
Idk about yall, but im going with jack shore. Hes better at grappling, so i hope he gets it done. Please bro.
Brener vs. Orolbai
Elves Brener, TKO, R2
Please Elves brener knock this inbred out, please man. I legit stopped jerking off and became closer to God in order for all my fighters to win, and so far its going good, so God, please im begging you to make my fighters to win.
Silva vs. Gomis
William Gomis, DEC
Gomis, the boring french fighter is gonna edge this on a 30-28 typa scorecards. I want Jean to win, but gomis is really good at keeping his distence.
Silva vs. Klose
Drakkar Klose, TKO, R1
Netto Bjj looks like he can win, but hes chinny, lost to Glenn in 30 seconds, and struggled with clay guida. Hes gonna get chinned in this fight.
Ruffy vs. Mullarkey
Mauricio Ruffy, TKO, R1
Mullarkey gonna get his shi rocked cuz he will be unable to pull off a robbery.
Bonfim vs. Pichel
Ismael Bonfim, TKO, R1
This should be very obvious bro. If you pick Pichel, then you must have something wrong with your head. Pichel is coming of a 2 year layoff and this is not gonna be Ortega vs Rodreguiz were he's gonna choke Bonfim out. Hes just gonna get dominated.
Costa vs. Borjas
Alessandro Costa, TKO, R2
There is a very big difference between the power of these both. I feel that Borjas is faster but Creepy Costa is more stronger in striking wise and wresting. I just gonna go with Nono to tko Borjas.

Alexandre Pantoja, SUB, R5
I wouldn’t have a problem seeing Erceg win the title… really shake up the division; but Pantoja is a specialist and having 3 wins against Moreno and 2 against Royval is gonna make it really hard for me to pick against him.
Martinez vs. Aldo
Jonathan Martinez, DEC
Love Aldo, but there’s a good chance Rio is gonna start a riot
