UFC On Fuel TV 7 Barao vs McDonald

Renan ‘Barao’ Pegado vs Michael ‘Mayday’ McDonald McDonald. Such a great fight, but I think McDonald will win. Cub Swanson vs Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier Swanson has a ton of confidence right now knocking out the last 3 opponents and did VERY well at avoiding the takedown attempts from Ross Pearson.

Renan ‘Barao’ Pegado vs Michael ‘Mayday’ McDonald

McDonald. Such a great fight, but I think McDonald will win.

Cub Swanson vs Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier

Swanson has a ton of confidence right now knocking out the last 3 opponents and did VERY well at avoiding the takedown attempts from Ross Pearson. Poirier is similar, but he is not grindy like Pearson. Poirer is crafty. I think Dustin will get the submission at some point and survive Swanson’s devastating punching power. Swanson will be pissed.

Jimi ‘Poster Boy’ Manuwa vs Cyrille ‘Snake’ Diabate

Diabate will annihilate.

Gunnar ‘Gunni’ Nelson vs Jorge ‘The Sandman’ Santiago

I’m thinking the man from Iceland will beat the veteran Santiago who is usually very inconsistent. Nelson.

James Te Huna vs Ryan ‘Big Deal’ Jimmo

Te Huna is a beast, but I think Jimmo will prevail. The guy is smart and crafty and has heavy hands as well.

Matt ‘Deep Waters’ Riddle vs Che ‘Beautiful’ Mills

Riddle is a dangerous and will win.

Terry Etim vs Renee Forte

Etim needs a comeback victory after turning into a highlight reel where he was KO’d by a vicious kick.

Paul ‘Sassangle’ Sass vs Danny ‘Last Call’ Castillo

Pass

Josh ‘The Fluke’ Grispi vs Andy ‘The Little Axe’ Ogle

Grispi needs this.

Stanislav Nedkov vs Tom ‘Kong’ Watson

Nedkov. I’ve slept on this guy in the past. He’s a power puncher and I expect him to connect.

Vaughan Lee vs Motonobu Tezuka

Pass

Ulysses ‘Useless’ Gomez vs Phil ‘Billy’ Harris

Pass
