My predictions

Faber vs Barao

Faber has been on a tear and deserves this shot no matter the jokes. But nothing in their first matchup indicated he can match Barao. Yea he had a rib inury but Barao is still an absolute beast. Faster, better striking, better grappling, exceptional TDD. The fight will be much more competitive, but Barao takes it by UD

Aldo vs Lamas

I don't see how Lamas can possibly beat Aldo. Aldo has faced much better strikers/wrestlers and defeated them with ease. Hes basically miles better then Lamas in every category. Lamas has been off for a year so who knows how he will come in. Aldo by TKO rd 2

Mir vs Overeem

Overeem should destroy Mir with ease if he is focused. Both guys has suspect chin.Mir is notoriously bad against heavy handed strikers. I still think Overeem is a solid fighter. He ws defeated Big Foot before he got cocky. And he absolutely destroyed Browne(and that fight would have, and should have been stopped if anyone but dipshyt yamasaki was ref) Mir, on the other hand, looks old. He got destroyed by JDS, Cormier, and Barnett. I honestly don't think he has much less. The only way I can see him winning is if he lasts during the first and tires Overem out. But I would take reem by KO in the 1st

Linker vs Baugtinov

Linker having trouble making weight may be his undoing. Baugtinov has better boxing and grappling. He will pick Lineker apart and get the next shot at Johnson

Trukillo vs Varner

I still have images of Trujillo getting rag dolled around by Khabib. Varner is not that caliber of wrestler, but he does have the grappling edge that should put him over. But hes so inconsistent. He looks great against Barboza and Guillard but will lose to bums like Tibeau. Both have are equal striking. I got Varner by UD

Madekessi TKO rd 2
