They say nothing is impossible.... Unless your trying to predict the entire outcome of an MMA/UFC card. I've had far too many "lock" fights go up in smoke, then again that's why its so great to watch, you just never know.

 

[Federecooo]

come on cejudo didnt even win against mighty mouse. he has no chance . 0 chance.

 

[PlatinumAmerican]

Neal tko
Bermudez decision
Sandhagen tko
Menifield ko
Calderwood decision
Hernandez ko
Roberson submission
Ostovich RNC
Benavides decision
Gillespie submission
Hardy ko
Dillashaw tko

 

[Death]

I’m not posting every prediction but I’m going to say TJ is going to blast Cejudo and knock him so silly his hair is going to flop.

I like most of your picks, but would like to see the Donald take this one. I don’t think Yancy can win this fight, if Gregor plays it smart and wrestles.

 

[ChumpyKiwi]

Cejudo tko rd 2 or 3
Hernandez unanimous decision
Gillespie tko rd 3

I honestly haven't thought about the other fights much in terms of predictions

My predictions:

Get in here @Spath!

Oh yeah! I’m in! I see you’re going with upsets in main events.

 

[ZaphMMA]

Cejudo wins. One hit to TJ and skeleton bones go flying around the octagon.
Crowder wins. Via actual MMA skill.
PVZ Wins. She will be aiming right for that orbital all night. + a bit more skill.

Don't really care about anyone else.

 

[Spath]

Predictions in detail:

Gillespie wins via arm triangle in round 2, after some wild exchanges. Fight of the night.

Hernandez tries to floor Cowboy with some big right hands, but fails to catch him clean. Striking is pretty even, but Cowboy starts to get the better of him as the fight goes on. Hernandez goes for some takedowns and gets caught in either an arm bar or triangle choke. Cowboy via sub, round 2.

Cejudo puts a pace on Dillasnake, who looks pretty good early. Cejudo is clearly the stronger of the two and gets a few takedowns. TJ starts to slow down and loses some snap in his punches, loses round 3 pretty clearly. Cejudo takes it to him in round 4 and TJ starts headhunting, trying to one up Cejudo with some big shots. He gets countered and finished on the ground.

PVZ vs Whats-her-face goes to a pretty boring decision, unanimous decision for PVZ, who praises whats-her-face as a fighter, person and a role model in her postfight interview. Some good angles on some firm buttocks and some titty-jiggling, so don’t skip this fight.

 

[Cockles]

Surprised at all the cejudo support. Story of the fight should be Dillashaw's low kicks to Henry's lead leg.

 

[Spath]

Surprised at all the cejudo support. Story of the fight should be Dillashaw's low kicks to Henry's lead leg.

That’s one thing to look out for. That low, low karate style stance of Cejudo is prone to lead leg kicks. I bet TJ tries to capitalize on those
