Shoutout to last cards winners @JoeRowe @ChrisBenoit @wufabufa @FEDORFAN44 @TITS @Hdfi @rollthedice @theincognito @Aurelian @Kowboy On Sherdog @mkess101 @BFoe @jeff7b9 @Hymen Crusher

This week I see lots of options I’m going with Kyler “The Matrix” Phillips.

 

[BFoe]

Phillips isn’t a bad choice.
Poirier, Costa, Pitbull, and Vettori are all live dogs imo. Some a little more live than others.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Pitbull is better then ige so I would pick that. I know he sucked last fight but is he that bad now

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Michael Johnson.

He could knock out anyone... and lose to anyone.

 

[mkess101]

Gonna go with Dustin. I think this will be closer than their last fight, could see a split. But every punch Dustin lands will draw a huge reaction from the crowd which can influence judging. I think he gets it done.

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Michael Johnson.

He could knock out anyone... and lose to anyone.

He is anderson silva of losing

 

[Poirierfan]

Michael Johnson.

He could knock out anyone... and lose to anyone.

I was gonna say him.

 

[Trupsi]

Yeah this week plenty of potential dogs.

I'mma go with Costa, then Poirier.

 

[Doughie99]

Didn't even know Poitier was an underdog.

Ok so I'll say him......and I'm gonna throw out Rodriguez as another live dog.

 

[theincognito]

Poirier

Pitbull

Phillips isn’t a bad choice.
Poirier, Costa, Pitbull, and Vettori are all live dogs imo. Some a little more live than others.

That’s very close to the people I was eyeing up.

 

[wufabufa]

McVey, Veretennikov, and Porier.

 

[Siver!]

Holland at -530 is berzerk.

Gimme DRod for the hero pick.

This is the kind of fight I'd wager a pound on if I could be bothered with betting.

EDIT: Also gonna pick Valentin because I'm not ready to buy into the Cameroonian just yet.

 

[Harlekin]

Pitbull

Pitbull indeed. Yes he is 38 now and looked shitty vs Yair.

But there is a difference between Pitbull 5'6 fighting 5'11 Yair who tries to keep the fight in kicking range.
And him fighting 5'7 Dan Ige who comes into close range.

 

[Hdfi]

Poirier and Pitbull are good picks.

 

[rollthedice]

Thanks for the tag @doozer. Fresh off my perfect pick last week, I think I'm going to pick Vetorri by decision. I was leaning Drod, he usually looks good in all striking match ups and he has a decent chance to crack Holland, however I'm going to lean Marvin here, with the history and what Marvin has recently been through, I think he comes in absolutely determined, we see the best Terminator Marvin yet and I think he's strong enough and ugly enough to win a grindy, brawl with Brandon, who I don't think will be strong enough to implement his grappling, and while his striking is decent, I think Marvins pressure and strength advantage will lead to more cage control and Marvin winning the dirty boxing battle.

Marvin via Dec is the play

 

[rollthedice]

P.s, picking DP as your underdog is playing it safe those odds are practically pick em

 

[KO Shotz]

Kevin Holland -5hundos

 

[TITS]

Pitbull and Costa.
