I can see Yakhyaev and Gandra winning dominantly / scarily. Not 100% about the others but think 2/3 of them get signed.

Donte Johnson is very small for heavyweight, he's small even when he fights at LHW. I think ultimately he'll be a middleweight. At this level he should be fine though, he's very fast and explosive and he hits hard. Abbey is sort of okay for a regional heavyweight but I have to think at some point Donte is going to close the distance quicker than he expected and bang him out.

Perez Vs Sousa could be a UFC fight easily imo, both these guys are really fun and good both on the feet and on the ground. Sousa is more athletic, Perez more technical. Hard to pick a winner, should be a great fight.

Yakhyaev Vs Lorenz won't be competitive at all imo, I expect Yakyaev to run through him within a round. Yakhyaev is very good.

Barbosa is possibly the hardest hitting featherweight in the world. Even more so than Jean Silva imo. Wilson will be lucky if his head doesn't end up in Dana's lap.

Miller sucks imo. Gandra at least has power so he should win. Sucks Vitor Costa had to pull out as I was looking forward to him and Gandra.

I got all favorites again this week , small bet on Abbey just cause Johnson isn't a real HW.

The baddest motherfuckers out there like to quote their grandmas. Dontes got this shit.

 

[Jackonfire]

Neither guy seems like a true HW considering what they both weighed in at

 

[Oscar Madison]

Righteous Man vs Savage Man

 

[europe1]

Wait... these are heavyweights?

 

[svmr_db]

Was expecting Gianni to factor Abbey's codeine use into his fight breakdown.

 

[europe1]

All praise be to the Moosha?

 

[xhaydenx]

The odds for these fights to go decision is wild. One is like 1.57 and the rest are under 1.14.

This is going to be a fun card haha.

[Xuh]

Personally if I was Dana I'd prefer it if this guy had 'MURDER DEATH KILL' tattooed on his stomach instead of 'Peace'
