Brener by KO is +1400. Had to sprinkle him by decision at +500 even though he's a decent dog as is. It's the only way I see him winning.

When you see the comments you can deduce that the majority think that Costa is a Dagestani or a wrestler, he is funny, Borjas is training with Enrique Barzola who has a level of wrestling and endless cardio, this fight will be standing and Borjas will be the best, this camp was 100% no longer crosses pinedo fights in pfl

The UFC is trying to promote Petrino as a star, which for me is not close to being one, ok we can say that Smith is washed out, everyone is missing for that I want to see how Petrino performs here, if Smith wins it wouldn't be a surprise

I would've been on Borjas if I capped it earlier because he was around +145 to +150 when lines dropped. But in an almost pickem I went with Costa. No money on it.

I have Brener ML. That's a scary bet though. Orolbai might control him for 15 minutes.

I lied when I said I have no money on Borjas v Costa. I forgot I have FGTD +125.

Reliable New Predictions

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 6 Perfect, 700 Points   |   Tied for 1211th

Martinez vs. Aldo
I am obsessed with Jonathan Martinez at -145. He has an accurate full guard. Martinez will bury the cake. Easy!

Ruffy vs. Mullarkey
I am with Mauricio Ruffy at -220. He has a wondrous level change. Ruffy is about to blast the foe.

Bonfim vs. Pichel
I select Ismael Bonfim at -550. He has a faux lapel choke. Bonfim can coach the canvas. So say we all!

Brito vs. Shore
I crave Joanderson Brito at -185. He has a hot full guard and an advanced crescent kick. Brito isn't about to negate the canvas.

Kowalkiewicz vs. Lucindo
I want Iasmin Lucindo at -400. She has a heavenly approach. Lucindo is gonna whack the cake.

Pantoja vs. Erceg
I appoint Alexandre Pantoja at -185. He has a groundbreaking armpit slam. Pantoja will boil the deed.

Pereira vs. Potieria
I want Michel Pereira at -700. He has a distinctive ouchi gaeshi and a youthful axe kick and also a cybernetic overhand. Pereira is about to avert the victory. It's a lock!

Smith vs. Petrino
I go for Vitor Petrino at -575. He has a strong spinning back elbow. Petrino is about to maintain the senses.

Barbosa vs. Kareckaite
I crave Dione Barbosa at -240. She has a maniacal kimura. Barbosa is gonna best the achievement.

Brener vs. Orolbai
I desire Myktybek Orolbai at -250. He has a natural right hand and a brash quivering palm death touch and also a ruthless stutter step. Orolbai will tackle the dissentient. Bank on it!

Silva vs. Klose
I go with Drakkar Klose at -185. He has a quick hammerfist. Klose isn't about to undress the adversary.

Craig vs. Borralho
I fancy Caio Borralho at -650. He has a brilliant oshi-dashi. Borralho might quash the Octagon.

Costa vs. Borjas
I elect Alessandro Costa at -130. He has a jinxed spinning back elbow. Costa could scramble the cage. Die daumen drücken!

How come people rate Ruffy so highly? DWCS prospects usually dissapoint when it comes to the real deal.

It amazes me the amount of people on Erceg tonight. I mean, it’s MMA and everything could happen but you have a guy who has beaten the top of the division against a guy that couldn’t finish dvorak and has a KO over Schnell so take that from what is worth

I fully expect Pants to win either a clear or close decision either man being finished is extremely unlikely.
Steve does have a style that should cause problems but his skill and experience level is unknown.
Honesty time I did pick the nerd and will be rooting for him to find a way.

Also they seem to think he will KO Pantoja with a straight 1 - 2. Also ignoring the fact that Pantoja has never been dropped, let alone KOd.

My toughts on Petrino

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 670 Points   |   Tied for 1650th

If Petrino let's Smith survive one round I will be a little disappointed in his skills. 

If he is not able to finish him and wins by decision I will think he is a bad fighter that needs to improve A LOT. 

If he actually loses to this old scared low T version of Anthony Smith... he just needs to retire now and give up his dreams to become champion. Use your monster physical strenght on manual labour instead.

He was put thru the fire against a very good Russian and pulled thru.

If you have the chance watch the fight real quick, it was a banger
