We've made it to yet another PPV homies. Alhamdullilah.

Let's do the damn thing.

O'Malley - Merab:
I thought Aljo had a greater chance to defeat Sean than Merab does right now. I may be way off but it feels like Merab is Sterling - Lite for Sean at this juncture of his career. I say that because not only has Sean's greatness kinda crept up on us as his tdd and anti wrestling is legit world class right now, but the guy is truly in his absolute prime and while Aljo had the nearly unparalleled ability to take his opponents back to force a sub and also gnp, Dvalishvili just doesn't pose that kind of threat or have that consequential, opportunistic grappling to finish O'Malley at this point. Merab's path to a victory is s 5 round decision where he literally keeps taking Sean down after allowing him to get back up. O'Malley will have numerous opportunities to clip and finish the lunging, relentless and often careless Dvalishvili. Sean via KO Round 1.
O'Malley

Shevchenko - Grasso:
This one is fucking my head up.
One could argue that Valentina won the previous fight, and that she was winning the first fight until making that mistake and getting her back taken. One could, on the flipside also argue that Alexa is just better, at her peak right now, in her absolute prime and that she will just be too much for the aging Shevchenko because of where they are in their careers. Stylistically, I believe Valentina is still the better wrestler, and the better kickboxer. Alexa is a better boxer though and has shown she can neutralize Valentina's standup. It's just hard for me to envision Shevchenko not being able to implement a gameplan and beat an opponent she's fighting the third time in a row. She is too intelligent and experienced for that. So I give the edge to Valentina by a decision.
Shevchenko

Ortega - Lopes:
This will be possibly FOTN. Incredible matchup. I think it'll be close and I doubt Lopes will get the early finish he's made a name for himself getting thus far in his rise. I do think he'll outland Brian and possibly finish him towards the end though. Only caveat is that he doesn't gas. Should be wild.
Lopes

Zellhuber - Ribovics:
This is a great matchup that I'm surprised we're getting rn tbh. I think Zellhuber dominates and boxes the ears off Ribovics though.
Zellhuber

Rodriguez - Osbourne:
Not main card worthy but at least there's some bad blood and a little more intrigue now. This should be a firecracker for as long as it lasts. I could see Rodriguez subbing him early but for some reason I feel like Ode will land some insane spinning shit.
Osbourne

That's all I got. What do you guys think?

RIP to the Legendary Sherbro @YOLOGOGOPLATA.
Gone but never forgotten.
You are missed.

Great picks.
Just disagree with Lopes finishing Ortega.
Ortega is still only 33, has a granite chin, better wrestling and TDD and is a BJJ Phenom. Has only ever lost to champions, Elite champions. He will have more experience as well.

I look forward to the grappling exchanges the most.
It will be FOT nonetheless.
 
O’Malley by Dec is a bold pic. Most feel the longer it does the more it favour Merab. O’Malley definitely has a threat to catch him, but Merab has never been knocked out. Merab doesn’t need a back take to win, he cardio’s you. O’Malley can have world class takedown defence, and he’s tall, but Merab grapples them all, just give him time (also omalleys take down defence is only like 60%, he’s just amazing at keeping distance). Look for Merab to push him back and get a hold of him in the first round, then after that it will get easier for him as omalleys arms get weaker and his arms tire. Look for a finish in my championship rounds or a Dec win for Merab.

Alexa vs shivchanko is tough. It shouldn’t have been a draw, that said I scored it for Alexa. The public and media scoring are very close on the matter (with an edge to grasso). I’m going to pick grasso because she is young and likely going to improve more but it’s a tough one.

I think ortaga should be favoured, I think he is very tough and dangerous long term. But I’m going to pick lopas, he is very hard to finish and I just have a feeling.

Definitely zellhuber

Last one I’m too ignorant to pick
 
Hard to make picks on most matches, will be interesting.

But for O'Malley, somehow I have a feeling that Merab will control him and win.We saw O'Malley vs Petr Yan fight, but Merab will hold him down easier, it will be too much O'Malley. Petr fight was at least draw in my opinion. This is very tough fight for O'Malley, he is underdog in my eyes.

Merab by KO
Grasso by TKO
Lopez by TKO

No idea about the rest. Betting a whopping 0 dollars on my three pick parlay.

I think Ortega could get injured again ala Rodriguez 1 when it hits the mat. Lopes has already shown he's very good at finding dangerous submission attempts down there.
