L O V E these early starts!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't get enough of them!

Who I think will win
Edson Barboza. He's looking confident and psyched in the interviews.
David Branch. He just seems like a solid well rounded fighter. I remember Jack Hermansson being steam rolled by Thiago Santos yet Branch KOed Thiago.
Michael Johnson. If he isn't being wrestled to the floor, he is bad news. He'll come out on top here.
KK. She's got a bit more viciousness to her than Waterson has.
Kennedy Nzechukwu. I'm just guessing he is a prospect seeing as he is unbeaten and Paul Craig is being fed to him.
Sheymon Moraes. I've only seen Sheymon fight of the two and he is very solid.
Marina Rodriguez. Both these women bore me so I've avoided watching them. Tonight will be my first time so I'd guess the unbeaten one will win
Des Green. Just obvious. Ross Pearson isn't beating anyone half decent anymore. Sorry to say this.
Kevin Aguilar. Just a guess since he has only one loss on his record (shrugs).
Kevin Holland. He survived a vicious Thiago Santos. He looks like he can go far. Gerald Meerschaft got wrecked by Marretta just like Jack Hermansson did.
Casey Kenney. I'm guessing he will win just because Ray Borg seems very out of his element lately.
Sabina Mazo. I'm assuming she is better than Maryna Moroz since Maryna is very average fighter.
Alex Perez. The way he smashed Jose Torres gives me hope he can keep doing that to other opponents. Mark De La Rosa doesn't impress me as much.

Who I want to win
Gaethje. He's just fun and awesome. There is a big what if, when it comes to Gaethje Vs Khabib.
Jack Hermansson. I hope he beats David Branch. Be nice to see a European in the rankings.
Michael Johnson.
Michelle Waterson
Paul Craig. He's been constantly thrown under the bus, made to only fight unbeaten prospects. I hope he wins just to rub it in the faces of the spiteful UFC matchmaking staff.
Sheymon Moraes
Jessica Aguilar
Des Green
Enrique Barzola
Kevin Holland
Ray Borg
Sabina Mazo
Alex Perez
