----------

First impression of the match-ups:

• Teixeira > Santos
• Boser > Arlovski
• Allen > Heinisch
• Barcelos > Taha
• Xiaonan > Gadelha
• Lewis > Giles
• Chikadze > Simmons
• Romanov > Lima
• Elkins > Garagorri
• Griffin > Brahimaj
• Birchak > Lopez

Boser, Barcelos, Romanov parlay.

Remove Barcelos, he's on short notice. I don't trust Giga and Elkins and Griffin. And Yan is kinda still good as a single.

I think I'll just go with Romanov, Boser parlay at -140ish. And Yan as a single at around the same line.

What do you think?

I made this parlay right before I left Vegas. It's around -111 odds.

Tonight's fight between Ian Heinisch and Brendan Allen has been cancelled.

My final picks:

• Teixeira > Santos
• Boser > Arlovski
• Barcelos > Taha
• Xiaonan > Gadelha
• Giles > Lewis
• Chikadze > Simmons
• Romanov > Lima
• Elkins > Garagorri
• Brahimaj > Griffin
• Lopez > Birchak

Nice finish by Lopez.

Romanov is built like an adult polar bear. Him putting his massive forearm on your throat and you just laying there = night night

Aside from getting stalled against the cage, Yan Xiaonan clearly won the fight.

I had it 30-27, with Round 1 being close due to the take down. Yan was always more active in the fight.

Raoni Barcelos is so damn good...

I'm so sick right now.

Those judges acted like none of those leg kicks counted, and that Arlovski landing 1 or 2 good punches per round while eating leg kicks was enough for a UNANIMOUS 29-28 across the board...

What the fuck...

GLOVERRRRRRRRRR!
