Heinisch or Akhmedov who do you think will win?

Wolverine hasn't KO'ed anyone good, and the stiffer the competition he's faced the closer his wins have been.
He's tough though, and I don't think Heinisch finishes him. Heinisch by Decision.

Kamaru Usman, TKO, R2
I may be going out on a limb with the method and distance of an Usman finish but I do think Kamaru wins this fight. He typically is happy grinding down opponents to get the win on the scorecards. That would not be wise to do when fighting someone with the style of Covington. Letting this one get to the judges would be taking a huge risk. My reasoning for taking Usman lies in the way he beat Woodley. I don't think Covington could have pushed through Woodley the way Usman did. Yes, Woodley seemed very uninterested in fighting that night, but Usman's power impressed me enough to pick him in this fight. It is that power edge that I think will give Usman a win here. Add to that the strong desire to finish his opponent and it adds up to my 2nd round TKO pick.

Max Holloway, TKO, R5
This is my main event. This is such a great stylistic matchup. I’m very surprised only 22% of people are taking Volk on this one. He’s very much a live dog in this one. Pumped for it!

Colby Covington, DEC
I think Size is going to play an advantage in the fight because Usman is the same size as Rashad Evan an former Light heavy champ so I think Usman will have the grapling advantage. But I think Usman is the less well rounded Champ as Cejudo, Khabib can strke and holloway stipe and Izzy can graple but Usman cant really strike and Colby who i thick have the same sticking couch as Joanna as they both throw 1000 punchs with no power will outpoint Usman and win a close fight, Also Usman look Pissed at Colby and will fight Stupid
Holloway vs. Volkanovski
Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
I thought is Alex beat Aldo he beat Holloway because Aldo has bascaly 100% takedown defence and is a great stricker, So either he could take down Aldo he Khabib Holloway, And if outstick Aldo he close with Holloway by competive on the feet and taking him down sometime and im taking Volkanoski by dec
Nunes vs. de Randamie II
Amanda Nunes, SUB, R2
Germaine look nice but for some reason I don't like her and who Doesn't love Nunes as she KO like half the other Female Champs , De Radmamie is a good Kickboxing and there value on her because nunes is to but i think nunes is the better MMA Stricker and will be Demain Maia compair to De Randame so im taking Sub
Aldo vs. Moraes
Marlon Moraes, TKO, R1
This fight is going to be sad, Aldo is going to get headkick Ko or something because looking like Christain bale in the Machinist is not good for when u fighting Moraes and his Chin will be gone
Yan vs. Faber
Petr Yan, TKO, R2
Petr Yan will kill Faber, Ricky Simon will beat Faber the next 99 time if they fought 100 time as he look good chin fighting Font and Faber hit Simon with the lucky overhand and it really unlikey he get another fluke win by guliontine
Perry vs. Neal
Mike Perry, TKO, R2
Mike Perry is underated because he was **** like 2 year ago but he could of beat Vicente [ Vicente is one of my Favorite fighter], Beat Brazile cowboy ,Felder and Looking good adgast Cowboy before armbar , Neal look good as he beat Price and Muhamed top 30 guys in the Ufc and i think This is going to be fight of the night and is pretty much 50 50 tho
Vieira vs. Aldana
Ketlen Vieira, DEC
Aldana sucks and Women Mma division Dropoff skill wise super quickly as for Batamweight is probly top 5 than ****, Aldana was loosing to Betch before Armbar and beat women who suck like Melo, Pudilova and Bernardo, Vieira will be fighting Nunes soon if she can stay active and i think Sean O Malley fought more recent then her and that worry me and the judge hate her as she smash Cat Zigano but the Autisic judge gave her a split and the judge could be stupid again, I Think Zingano will beat Aldana also, Also Viera is more Ugly
Heinisch vs. Akhmedov
Ian Heinisch, DEC
I Pick Brunson because i though of experiance, but Heinisch is still really good with excellent grapling and decent stricing but this fight is close
Brown vs. Saunders
Ben Saunders, TKO, R1
Who The **** know what happen in the fight and Matt Brown lost to Elllenberger by bodykick, And is like Ellenburger only win since like 2012, But survive 2 rounds adgest cowboy so his chin is decent, But Ben Saunders is Chinny so this fight is If Ben get hit in the chin or body kick and it 50 50 and im taking the dog
Teymur vs. Hooper
Chase Hooper, SUB, R2
Daniel Teymur is in the Ufc becuase he enternaing and is good on prospect record because people confuse him with his brother , And the reason their booking this fight is because the ufc want him to win
Moreno vs. Kara-France
Kai Kara-France, DEC
Kai is good and is bad match up with Moreno and Kai has really good takedown defence and is way better on feet
Eye vs. Araujo
Jessica Eye, DEC
Jessica Eye is no longer Evil eye she Pinkeye because she Inflated missing weight by 5 pounds, She didn't try make weight as Aldo shouldn't be fighting at Batam and still made weight , So i swap to Eye now but i hope she get Smash tho
Soriano vs. Piechota
Punahele Soriano, TKO, R2
Soriana is tougher the Piecota because his Hawian but im worried because he didn't finish guy on conteder , but sometime that better because is shows they can win decision tho

Colby Covington, TKO, R4
just hedging so i win either way. really rooting for kamaru.
Holloway vs. Volkanovski
Max Holloway, DEC
alex leaves openings, max can thread those needles.
Nunes vs. de Randamie II
Amanda Nunes, TKO, R2
probably dumb to trade with her so amanda shoots early i'd think. if she hits the td's, it's all her. if she gets stuffed or germaine gets up, we might have a fun fight.
Aldo vs. Moraes
José Aldo, DEC
if the cut doesn't hurt him too much, i think this style of fight is all aldo. marlon will have to come to him and he has the speed to keep up.
Yan vs. Faber
Petr Yan, DEC
i'll still pick yan to win, but won't be surprised if faber makes him look human like rivera did.
Perry vs. Neal
Geoff Neal, DEC
mike perry needs to make this a dogfight and while i know he's gonna try to, not sure he'll succeed.
Vieira vs. Aldana
Ketlen Vieira, DEC
surprised to see so many picks for ketlen, thought i was gonna be in slim company. she's the more proven fighter and i don't think that's limited to the ground.
Heinisch vs. Akhmedov
Ian Heinisch, DEC
might be some fun scrambles, but otherwise it might turn into a cardio grind type fight. i'll say ian lands more telling shots.
Brown vs. Saunders
Matt Brown, TKO, R1
i don't trust ben's chin at this point, nor do i trust him to get off his back if he ends up there.
Teymur vs. Hooper
Chase Hooper, SUB, R2
alright, fine, i'll ride the train for this one.
Moreno vs. Kara-France
Kai Kara-France, DEC
should be a fun one, but kai would seem to be much cleaner.
Eye vs. Araujo
Jessica Eye, DEC
the weight miss makes this different, was gonna pick araujo but now i'm gonna hedge my bet and hope to be wrong here.
Soriano vs. Piechota
Punahele Soriano, TKO, R2
i'll guess oskar gets tagged, but it's possible he grinds it out on the mat.

Literally nobody gives a damn about Marty. Only reason people watching the Colby vs Usman fight is because they want to see Colby beat. Colby is bringing in those people. Thats the only time you’ll have a good amount of people cheering for Marty. Marty FakeNewsman will go back to being obsolete after this fight.
