Curious what people's choices are gonna be, this is who I would pick:

Flyweight: Kai Kara France - only person to beat askar askarov who also beat pantoja in the past, was an underdog against erceg even though he has a better resume by a big margin, I think he probably beats pantoja.

Bantamweight: Montel Jackson - has some of the nastiest power I've seen at BW, it reminds me of omalley with the way he just boops people on the nose and they go limp, 1 punch ko'd blackshear who's actually a solid propsect that gave mario bautista a tough fight

Featherweight: This might be a hot take but I think evloev is underrated, he fought arnold allen who is a huge FW with good anti grappling and evenly striked with him for 3 rounds and dropped him at the end of round 2, for a dagestani wrestler to do that to a top level striker is impressive. I also think he will make easy work of aljo on the feet

Lightweight: Joel Alvarez - pieced up brenner and made him look like a can, finished moises in like 2 minutes, great striking and BJJ threat, only recent loss is to Arman

Welterweight: I couldn't even find a pick for this one, I think sean brady is pretty good but he got ko'd by belal of all people so that's a tough to say he is an underrated guy 😂

Middleweight: Fluffy Hernandez - most dominant wins I've seen in recent UFC history other than khamzat, he completely bitches grown men and dominated michel pereira who was on a hot streak and submitted kopylov.

Lightheavyweight: Azamat Murzakhanov - not gonna be fighting for a title but in terms of entertainment and striking he is awesome to watch and is undefeated.

Heavyweight: Shamil Gaziev - this guy lost by fluke to rozenstruik but don't get it twisted, he's gonna dominate the rest of the division

Nicely done.
You have some really great picks there.
Joel and Fluffy are absolute killers. And I think you're right that Shamil will do great in HW. I'm hoping Azamat can keep it up, but am a bit worried that he's coming into the game a little too late.
