I don't see any reason why the second fight is going to be different then the first.

RDA by TKO in the second round
I just hate Covington, but hey, who doesn't

Holm vs. Anderson

Holm by Unanimous decision
Holm is more experienced, better striker

I love Arlovski, he's a legend but that suspect chin is still there and Tuivasa has monster power

Slightly off topic, if Romero wins the fight, the UFC isn't going to set up Romero vs Whittaker III right away are they?
 
Fights i look forward to..

Whittaker (c) vs. Romero Dont usually like so early rematches but its Yoels last chance to become champ. Whittaker won last time edging Yoel out with 3-2, it could go exactly the same but dont count out Yoel, he has the potential to end any fight in a second. I think Whittaker takes it again with a close decision but you never know.

RDA vs. Covington I hope RDA wins, dont mind Colby but dont enjoy his fights, he will win by top control and wrestling him to a decision.

Arlovski vs. Tuivasa Test for Taiuvasa if he cannot get past Andrej he wont get much further, its a good test Taiuvasa KOTKO

CM Punk vs. Mike Jackson I get to see Punk knocked out or humanity in disbelief

Overeem vs. Blaydes Blaydes is a good prospect but is no High level Wrestler, Overeem is surely better on the ground and could pull of a Guillotine or something. When Overeem started he was way more groundfighting and he was succesful many times. Its HW so any shot could take you out but Blaydes doesnt have Nganou power and is also limited due to the fact that he is still green, in 5 years Blaydes could be a totally different fighter but for now i think Overeem got this by smart UD.

Lamas vs. Bektic Lamas is getting old and has last a step, Bektic is a talented Up and Comer but sometimes lacks fight iq, against Elkins he was winning the standup, got tired and started wrestling Darren Elkins...got him kod Lamas could also if Bektic fights stupid, i think Bektic wins a UD.

Evans vs. Smith This will be a easy transition for Lionheart at LHW, Rashad has fallen down so hard, its not just the loses but how he loses, use to be a killer, Smith will land a vicious ko.

Benavidez vs. Pettis (Sergio) defnining match at 125, Benavidez beat all his 125 Opponents except DJ and Cejudo they way i saw it but he officially won, Pettis also wins most only taking loss after winning streak. The winner should get the shot in my opinionn.

Guida vs. Oliveira Smells like a sub by Oliveir
