Robert Whittaker, DEC
All Rob needs is a jab, and takedowns both of which he has and uses frequently. Costa won’t be able to keep up and he will be gunshy for the whole fight trying to find his pressure heavy rhythm but Rob will consistently interrupt it.
Meerschaert vs. Fabiński
Bartosz Fabiński, DEC
Bartosz is much stronger and much better than Gerald. Meerschaert just isn’t that good.
Romanov vs. Espino
Juan Espino, SUB, R1
Guys stop counting Espino out.

I think Jeremy can win, but I also like being right, so I'll go with Drakkar

Robert Whittaker, DEC
Sober Costa is dangerous, and Whittaker's chin isn't the best, but he should still be able to survive a few scares and land his own offense and takedowns for a competitive but clear decision.
Romanov vs. Espino
Alexander Romanov, TKO, R1
Romanov is a scary gorilla. Heavy takedown into mount, and sloppy double hand ground and pound until inconsciousness.
Klose vs. Stephens
Drakkar Klose, TKO, R2
I don't think Lighweights will be nicer than featherweights with Stephens at this point.
Sherman vs. Porter
Chase Sherman, TKO, R2
Sherman looked great in his last fight, but his defense is still a problem, so Porter still has a chance.
Pena vs. Munoz
Luis Pena, DEC
Pena has mad potential, with great stand up skills and good wrestling, but he seems very shy and conservative recently... Maybe he's in the wrong weight class ? Maybe it's a confidence issue ? I still thinks he can make a decent run if he finds his groove.

Robert Whittaker, DEC
Back when this fight was first scheduled after the Whittaker v Romero II fight, I firmly believed that Kelvin would KO Rob and take the belt because the damage Rob took was just insane. But now I think Rob is going to be as close to 100% as possible, and I think his entire skillset is just way better than Kelvin's. The boxing will be an issue, but I think Rob will have an advantage essentially everywhere else.

This could be a hell of a match. I'm taking Espino because he's with ATT.
