Cejudo, R1 SUB
Cejudo bouta kill Sterling very quickly.
Oliveira vs Dariush
Oliveira, R2 SUB
Oliveira needs this comeback win. Dariush is a very good, very well-balanced fighter but Oliveira is a damn submission magician. Don't get me wrong, Dariush will put up a good fight and may even drop Oliveira. But that's where Oliveira may catch him in a submission if he goes to the ground with him. Dariush has to do his homework here, he can't follow Oliveira to the ground if he knock's him down, he's like a venus fly trap. Gotta back up, refuse to engage and tell the ref to stand his ass back up. But even if Dariush smartens up and does this, Oliveira may get him to the ground forcefully and submit him that way. A lot of possible outcomes here, this'll be an amazing fight.
Mitchell vs Pearce
Mitchell, DEC
Mitchell got exposed in his last fight against Topuria but I just have a feeling he will manage to get the win here. Pearce may not be ready for this level of competition.
Andrade vs Yan
Andrade, DEC
Andrade is a very skilled fighter, she will win.
Dober vs Frevola
Dober, KO R2
This will be an absolute war of two sluggers. Dober is just too good though with that ******* crimson chin and powerful hands. Frevola is going to sleep.
Petroski vs Petrosyan
Peteroski, KO R1
Battle of the Petro's. Only one is much better than the other. Petroski is on a roll and he will make Petrosyan's head roll, believe that.

Henry Cejudo, DEC
Yeah it is still hard to wrap my mind around Aljo being champion. I'd like to see Cejudo win and I would like to see him challenge Volkanovski at some point for the FW strap. He deserves it if he becomes BW champion again. It'd be amazing if he claimed belts in three different weight classes. Unheard of.
