Curtis Blaydes is likely to throw Mark Hunt again to a 3 round decision.

Ryan Bader will be better than King Mo everywhere, 3 round decision, perhaps a late stoppage.

Matt Mitrione will probably kickbox his way to a 3 round decision or possibly get the TKO finish over Hoy.

Mike Perry is being given a fight he can win, should definitely get back on the horse with this one.

Volkov can strike, and Werdum is slow and stiff as all hell. Big Werdum fan, but at that price I think Volkov will take the W. If Werdum gets him down it's anyone's game, but if it stays standing I think Alex will take it.

Fedor is beyond past it, but man... Frank Mir hasn't fought in 2 years, I doubt he trains much anymore and he is beyond SLOW.

Thoughts?
 
Looks good. Volkov over Werdum is the shakiest pick imo.

Blades will wrestle hump Hunt
Bader does pretty much everything better than King Mo
Platinum will starch Griffin

Yeah, Volkov is a bit of a punt but Werdum hasn't looked great standing up since his first fight with Travis Browne, he has gotten so much slower and so much stiffer. Even against Velasquez he was stiff as hell.
 
I agree with most but Werdum should beat Volkov IMO

I agree. Eventually time will catch up with him. He is no spring chicken. I don't think its a stretch pick, I think its a coin toss.

I think the same like you, too many bad variables in this matchup from both guys, maybe 55% for Mir but I definitely won't bet in this one

I have Fedor, which may be a bad pick, but I just think he's that bit faster than Frank, and is a little more well rounded.

Only 3 rounds.
 
I like all the picks except for Volkov. Volkov has suspect TDD (I know Werdum isn't a takedown artist but he's still opportunistic) and I think Werdum will be very competitive on the feet if not having the edge.

I love Werdum, but honestly I cringe every time he throws a strike.

The guy has no idea how to strike.

As much as I like Mir, he's not beating any version of Fedor. Mir has shitty takedowns and Fedor is the way better striker here. Solid picks TS, would be my picks as well, although the Werdum one would make me sweat at least a little bit.
