UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Almeida readers picks
Jairzinho Rozenstruik (30%) vs. Jailton Almeida (70%)
Readers pick: Jailton Almeida
Tommy: Almeida wins as long as he steers clear of Rozenstruiks power. Almedia takes him down and gets the submission win in Rd 2.
Anthony Smith (70%) vs. Johnny Walker (30%)
Readers pick: Anthony Smith
Tommy: Tricky one heart says Smith head says Walker I’m going with my heart and Smith to win by decision.
Daniel Rodriguez (35%) vs. Ian Machado Garry (65%)
Readers pick: Ian Machado Garry
Tommy: Going for Garry to overwhelm Rodriguez who hasn’t looked too impressive in his last couple of fights. The Irish will be partying I think. Gary wins by decision.
Alex Morono (85%) vs. Tim Means (15%)
Readers pick: Alex Morono
Tommy: Think age has caught up with both men think Morono has more in the tank and will get the win by decision.
Matt Brown (60%) vs. Court McGee (40%)
Readers pick: Matt Brown
Tommy: Could be fight of the night this one Brown will come out swinging Mcgee survives and will win by late stoppage.
Karl Williams (70%) vs. Chase Sherman (30%)
Readers pick: Karl Williams
Tommy: Think Williams will be too powerful and outwork Sherman and will win by TKO RD 2.
Cody Stamann (65%) vs. Douglas Silva de Andrade (30%)
Readers pick: Cody Stamann
Tommy: Really unsure about this one if Stamann can take him down he wins Andrade is explosive and can knock him out. I’m going for Stamann by decision.
Carlos Uberg (75%) vs. Ihor Potieria (25%)
Readers pick: Carlos Uberg
Tommy: Don’t know too much about Potieria only chance he has is if he can take Ulberg to the mat and grind out a win very much doubt it Ulberg takes him out for a TKO win.
Kim Ji-yeon (75%) vs. Mandy Bohm (25%)
Readers pick: Kim Ji-yeon
Tommy: Haven’t seen too much of Bohm from what I’ve heard she hasn’t been too impressive. Kim out-lands and outworks her Kim wind by decision.
Bryan Battle (35%) vs. Gabriel Green (65%)
Readers pick: Gabriel Green
Tommy: If Green can cut off the cage be in his face and take Battle down he wins. I like Battle but his takedown defence in his last fight was non existent. Green wins by decision.
Jessica-Rose Clark (80%) vs. Tainara Lisboa (20%)
