Predictions
Velasquez vs. JDS - I'm gonna go with Cain here. Since regaining the title, Cain has looked phenomenal. Junior's last fight against Hunt wasn't that impressive to give him any hope of getting by Cain imo. Junior can do all that scientific conditioning shyt he wants, but Cain's pace and pressure will break him eventually. Cain will finish Junior this time. mark my words
Daniel Cormier vs. Roy Nelson - This will be an uneventful fight with alot wrestling/grappling going on. I have Cormier winning this in dominating fashion
Gilbert Melendez vs. Diego Sanchez - Lowkey, this is the fight Im looking forward to the most. This has FOTN written all over it, as I expect this to be an all out war. Diego has been one of my favorite UFC fighters for a long time and I will be rooting for him. Gilbert is in his prime right now, while Diego is declining and I expect him to get tagged all night. He never moves his head and Gilbert is the better boxer which will give him the points he needs to win
Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Shawn Jordan - Gonzaga's experience should win him the fight. Jordan is explosive and I can see him knocking him out very quickly, but if he rushes in carelessly and makes a mistake, Gonzaga will capitalize and tap him out. Going with Gonzaga
John Dodson vs. Darrell Montague - Not familar with Montague, but what I read is that he's a newcomer and Dodson is one of the best flyweights in the world. Dodson has speed and power that will be too much.
PRELIMINARY CARD
Tim Boetsch vs. C.B. Dollaway
Hector Lombard vs. Nate Marquardt
Jessica Eye vs. Sarah Kaufman
K.J. Noons vs. George Sotiropoulos

Quick Predictions:
- JDS via TKO. The biggest difference maker in the second fight was that huge shot that Cain landed in the first. This time around, I see JDS being the first to land the big shot and from there he'll get the finish. I haven't been this emotionally invested in a fight in a while, really pulling for JDS.
- Cormier via decision. Cormier is better everywhere [other than BJJ], he'll keep the fight standing and soundly out-strike Nelson while avoiding his overhand right. This is his fight to lose.
- Melendez via decision. Gil is a much better fighter, he'll beat up Sanchez wherever the fight takes place. I don't see him getting the finish though, Sanchez is very durable and tough.
- Jordan via TKO. Gonzaga needs to take this fight to the ground, but I see him testing out striking game. As a result, I see him getting finished.
- Dodson via TKO. Montague is a very good FLW, but Dodson is better and has power. He'll catch Montague and finish him.
- Boetsch via TKO. CB is a borderline can, Boetsch should take this easily.
- Marquardt via decision. He'll avoid Lombard's power and take the decision win.
- Noons via TKO. Noons will keep this fight standing and finish Soti.
- JDS via TKO. The biggest difference maker in the second fight was that huge shot that Cain landed in the first.
