Do Australians like New Zealanders?
Would they support a New Zealander vs an American?

Yes, people from New Zealand (Kiwis) are liked by people from Australia (Aussies).

Think of Kiwis as the little brother of Aussies.

Brunson might be as good as the top 4 MWs. He was whipping Romeros ass 2 years ago before he gassed and got finished in the 3rd. Hope he has an impressive performance.

New Zealand is Australia's Canada.

There's no heat in the beef, but there be beef. "Bloody Kiwis" being a common phrase, and joy in times of Kiwi failure being a common sensation.

I think UFC offered Hunt a match against Dos Santos but Hunt refused the fight

I'm big on Brunson but the violent KO's have a common theme. When he lunges in with that left (usually twice in a row the way Woodley KO'd Lawler), he leaves his chin on a platter, and someone with a composed/accurate counter shot will likely put his lights out at some point if he keeps doing that.

I could see Rockhold, Belfort (irrelevant but still), and ironically Whittaker being the 3 MW's that are really likely to make him pay in that spot, but I'm still picking Brunson > Whittaker because I think that Jackson has probably pounded into Brunson's head that he can't do his typical beast-blitz right away or hes making a massive mistake.

He just needs to use his athleticism, size, and kicking range to frustrate Whittaker and clinch up as much as possible. Eventually if he works that game without making any mistakes in the pocket, hell get Whittaker down and beat the breaks off him or choke him out.

I feel like I have an unusually good read on a lot of these fights for some reason, doing a lot of prop stuff on Dimes.

Brunson > Whittaker via middle rounds GNP stoppage
Mathews > Holbrook via HL KO or late sub/GnP once Holbrook gives up
Noke > Akhmedov via late stoppage when Omari gasses - rd 3 +1400 Noke prop was gold IMO. Love Noke as a dog, but obv it could go either way.
Kasuya v Volkanovski - Dunno
Pedro v Roundtree - Dunno, but it will end quickly
Ham > Taylor via decision after landing 500 strikes - good candidate for FOTN
Camozzi > Kelly - I'm leaning decision because Kelly is so tough
Brown v Tuck - Dunno, but Tuck is way over-rated
Walsh > Meunier - Ugly shitty fight where Walsh outgrinds him and wins a close decision in his backyard
Ngyuen > Herrera - Love this fight, I think it will have a little of everything, will be very close, but Ngyuen will land more and have more top time
Hooker > Knight - Sharps seem to think there is value on Knight, I think Hooker picks him apart and mixes in some wrestling for a clear decision
Vera > Ning - Ning is truly awful. He has the skillset of a LHW, just looks for a chance to land a power haymaker and has decent TD's but no ground game. Vera should be able to pick him apart (footwork, kicks, technique) and sub him if he hurts him or winds up on top or in a scramble. Ning's only shot is a KO if Vera somehow gets stuck against the cage and Ning lands a lucky hay.

Joined the DK event. Exciting. Thanks for making it.

I like the 6 player format much better than 5 too, dunno if thats a recent change or what but I dig it.

Only pick I differ with you on Rican is Kelly vs Camozzi. I respect the pick just because Kelly is like the inverse of Uriah Hall but I just don't think he'll be able to get inside on Camozzi to work the Judo and make it ugly.

Oh well I guess I disagree on a few more since you flipped on the Noke and Roundtree fight as well.

I think Akhmedov's chin and gas tank are just too exploitable. Noke seems like a smart guy, should gameplan and exploit.

Roundtree fight is a coinflip but I'm basically picking Pedro because he seems athletic enough to match Roundtree and seems like stylistically kryptonite for Khalil's pathetic ground game - which very may well have improved. Hopefully it has because LHW needs a guy like him to get good.
