The pick is Topuria via decision.

The pick is Petrosyan via decision.
I disagree
I like the Preview feature on here, it’s well written
I like rooting against their picks and agreeing with some
According to which fighters I like of course. I’m not a Max fan as an example

These are interesting picks- they made, all decisions

I say Top by TKO 2nd

Ankalaev By TKO 1st

Whittaker by TKO 3rd

I have my reasons

I think Rakic's low-kicks & improved boxing will enough to win 2 close rounds. I also think the UFC obviously would prefer Ankalaev lose, and usually when a fight goes to decision the UFC gets their way.

We've seen Ank struggle with lowkicks vs Jan & I don't think he has the Jiri-type recklessness to bite down & swarm Rakic.

Kind of shocked the odds aren't close to even let alone -430/+300. I mean both have fought Jan and essentially fought him to a draw. Both also fought Santos and each was up 29-28 after 3 rounds, although 1 judges had Santos up against Ankalaev.
 
A lot of Pereira ball garglers here that are wishing he doesn't have to deal with Ank that's why they want Rakic to win. Ank is going to KO Rakic and Alex will look weak if he continues to duck him after Saturday
 
I don't think Shara Bullet is good enough to contend for the belt. I will admit he is super game. He fights a lot and I don't mind he becomes the cowboy Cerrone character for Middle East fights.

Hard read though!
 
As a Pereira gargler, I would like to see them put on a good and even fight so that both of them can fight for the title next year. Just don't make it a draw, Dana would hate that.

Shara kind of sucks.. he has no grappling and for a striker he lacks power and defense. Still awesome to watch. Hopefully he keeps getting strikers.

I think Rakic is more difficult than Ankalaev for Pereira tbh
 
Rakic is on a long stretch of bad luck … but … he is a beast and can win a point fight against anyone .

If ankalaev has one of his low volume performances - it’ll be a close fight that Rakic absolutely could win

Rakic kryptonite is a heavy hitter - I don’t know if ank fits that bill … interesting fight that shouldn’t be -400 !
 
I don't keep up with their prediction content cus I remember seeing some of their analysis and predictions a while back and it was pretty bad, the analysis in particular. But I'll give their 308 stuff a look and hopefully be pleasantly surprised

I think the ginger Dagestani will lose too

The pick is Petrosyan via decision. you are right imo.

I think you are main right except about Rob fight.
Khamzat by Sub 1st round max 2nd round.
 
Illia wins a decision after max turns him into a panic wrestler

I got Chimaev by submission in the second as well
 
Rakic looked great against Jiri until he decided to play firefight, I’ve got Alex via decision since that’s what the UFC wants.
 
I was surprised with Sherdog picking against Shara and Ankalaev.
Exactly - when I read that I was thinking, "WTF!!!??'

Gotta say though, I thought Rakic looked great against Jiri - until he got KTFO

I don't know what to think about the Whittaker fight - exactly what kind of Khamzat shows up for the fight anyway??

Even if Rakić wins, Pereira - Ankalaev happens unless Alex moves up. The guy fights 3 times a year, who is left?
I say this as a Rakić fan. I want Rakić to win, but I want to see Pereira - Ankalaev as well.

Funny thing is that I am picking Rakic to win the fight and Whitaker too. I just know that the other guys are seen as the favorites and Sherdog usually goes that way.

So the fighter who has 4 losses, chinny and not wrestling threat is more dangerous than Ank lol. This the ones right here I'm talking about
