UFC 297 | STRICKLAND VS. DU PLESSIS | FULL CARD - PICKS & PREDICTIONS!!! #ufc297

“I'm going to go with Malcolm Gordon I like his striking a little bit more so I think the grappling is about even maybe Jimmy flick is a little bit more dangerous early with his grappling but as the fight goes on he slows down a ton and Gordon at least I like his cardio better I think his durability is a little bit better I don't think he needs to worry about getting knocked out on the feet and I like his striking a little bit more so I think the first round might be a little HEC IC but I think if this fight gets into the second round or even third round I like Gordon here to get either a late finish or a decision win and Gordon can get a first round win too here too so um give me Gordon to win I'm gonna say he does find a finish maybe in the second round”

“I'm going to go with the guy who I think think is just a little bit better overall at their point in their careers and that's Yohan Lainesse I like his striking uh Power in his hands too so I think he can catch Sam and maybe Rock him a little bit and also I do think if yoan wants to uh go for the wrestling and grappling I think he get the fight to the mat and win minutes that way too or maybe even get a submission but you know he has to be a little bit careful with that Guillotine uh not and just watch his neck there but give me yoan to win I'm going to say by knockout uh first or early second round”

“I'm going to take a shot I'm going to go with Viv or not Vivian uh vianna to win this fight um I think on the feet I think paana has the edge here and if this fight gets to the mat I think uh Pana can scramble and get maybe some kind of submission off her back maybe an armar maybe a uh arm triangle some not arm triangle but a um something along those lines where Jillian likes to be on top and uh viven like or I keep saying Vivian VI likes to be off her back so that's going to be a very good uh matchup but the thing about it though is um Pana can lose minutes if that happens if she plays off her back a little bit too much that's the only thing I'm a little bit worried about but do I trust Jillian to get takedowns not really do I trust her to win a striking match no uh so I'm gonna go with BNA to win this one I'm gonna say she um finds a sneaky armar and um maybe gets an armar that way and gets a win”

“give me Serhiy Sidey to win and I think he's goingon to win by knockout again uh Maybe not maybe not in the first round like I think I think that's what happened in the last fight but maybe later in the fight um I do think you know both of them have fought before so but it wouldn't shock me if this fight goes to decision I'm staying away from this fight I'll be honest from a betting perspective but um just picking uh Serhiy Sidey to win here”

“give me Katana to win I think this fight goes to decision too um both guys are pretty durable both guys are pretty tough but this could be one of those fights where they both stand in the middle of the ring and they kind of just go back and forth one hitting one one hitting the other with good shots and it just goes to decision by I just think katana's going to land the better shots in more of them so Katana wins by decision as my pick”

“give me evev to win by decision but wouldn't shock me one bit if Arnold Allen wins a close decision too but he's going to have to stop those takedowns and I just don't know if he's going to be able to not to say that ev's going to go wrestle heavy game plan but um he just has that option to mix it in here and there and Allen just has to be weary about that”

“I'm gonna lean Chris Curtis to win this fight and the only reason why is uh the just Andre or Mark Andre's uh style of pushing forward plays perfectly into Chris curtis' style which is counter striking and um stuffing takedowns and stuff like that like that's what he wants he wants fighters to push forward so he can Counter Strike so I just and then even if this fight is like a slow kickboxing fight I kind of like Chris Curtis even like more too so I think Andre does need to mix in the takedowns get the fight to the mat if he can I just don't know if he's going to be able to do it enough times to win this fight um again I I think this fight goes to decision um the more dangerous guy I would say is Chris Curtis with this with a counter- strike maybe he can land um you know a good shot on Mark Andre but um give me Chris Curtis to sneak out a 29-28 decision”

“I think mot's going to win this one too I just think he's the more dangerous guy in the feet I think he's the more dangerous guy on the mat with his submissions too and I can see a club and sub and I can see this fight getting to the mat too and mot getting a a finish too on the mat so I'm gonna say mot wins by submission uh magn lost six times in his career six out of 11 times by submission I think that's what happens here too”

“I'm going to go with Sean Strickland not super confident whatsoever um I just don't think drick is gonna be able to get a finish if I did I would pick dup plus C but gotta go with Sean Strickland he's just a tough puzzle to solve if you want to say but it I mean do plus he can you know he can rock him maybe U the only person that rocked Sean Strickland was Alex Pereira but we all know that that check left hook of Pereira is money so I don't know dup is a little bit too wild on the feet sometimes and uh he's going to have to land a very good shot to knock out Sean Sean Strickland he's very durable too so uh Sean Strickland by decision is the way I'm GNA go”
