If my mom is still in the hospital, my gf and I will visit sometime that morning/early afternoon. My mom really likes my gf.

Then go to KFC to pick up a barrel of the Colonel’s Original Recipe, and sides. Then hit up the liquor store, and the weed store too.

Then to my place for the fights.

She knows I’m a Jan fan. So hopefully we get to see that legendary Polish Power, just one more time.

Hopefully it’s a very good day.

In think Mag will win pretty easily, Jan’s takedown defence has been bad recently Mag is definitely a better wrestler then Rakic and is just in general a better wrestler, another thing Jan does is when he blitz he leaves himself open and this is how he got koed by Santos

yeah i think Ankalaev will really try to get a KO in this fight and make a short night of it if he can. I checked all his wins and they're almost ALL KO's or Decisions.
I really can't see Ankalaev losing ....but....they're big dudes and anything can happen I suppose.

Till versus Du Plessis intrigues me. Originally I picked Till by KO. Then switched to Du Plessis by KO. I’m rooting for Till, always enjoy watching him fight. Maybe I’ll switch it back to Till by decision lol.

Mitchell vs. Topuria is exciting because someone’s 0 has to go. I like Mitchell in the octagon. He has that submission threat and also has gotten more patient lately. It’s a solid match up.

Conversely with Edmen vs. Lungi, someone’s loss streak (3 each) will end. Lungi has KO power. Edmen changed camps and took a year to strengthen his game. I feel either guy could knock the other’s block off. If it goes to cardio I’ll go with Edmen.

In the card opener Saaiman is that guy from the recent contender series who is the youngest fighter ever signed to the UFC. He looked amazing on the CS. Let’s see how he does in his UFC debut.

for Edmen vs Dalcha...... I just looked at their respective last 3 losses and whilst it's never good to lose 3 in a row obviously, it's quite obvious that Edmen's 3 losses were to TOP LEVEL opponents (Imavov, Hermansson, Brunson) whilst Dalcha lost to 3 fighters a notch or two down from that.
I fancy Edmen to get the Show Back on the Road and win this fight, probably ITD.

If Mitchell can beat Topuria then that really will be a helluva victory. Topuria is on an absolute roll and has KO'd 75% of his UFC opponents. Very fast hands, in great shape. I HOPE Mitchell wins (nothing against Topuria) but I think Topuria might catch Bryce on the feet before Bryce can drag him down to the mat. Tough one to pick and it's my most anticipated fight of the event.

I expect Du Plessis to beat Till to be honest. Till seems to have stagnated and if he loses this fight against the South-African then I gotta wonder if retirement might be his best option. Can't see him wanting to retire....but if he loses against Du Plessis he's gotta think about it.
