Predictions: 12 of 12 Pending   |   Tied for 1st with 1009 others

McGregor vs. Chandler
Michael Chandler, TKO, R5
Finally Chandler got his wish and now, his time to fight smart. If the fight goes the best way for Chandler we could see the Bellator version of Chandler fighting smart mixing Wrestling, BJJ and so on. Definately he is going to strike with Conor but, when Conor knocks down Chandler, Chandler will wrestle from then like the fight against Tony Ferguson. So if the fight goes the way Chandler wants, he is going to wrestle Conor for most of the rounds, and finish him in the 5th. The only way Chandler could lose is going insane at the early rounds and get caught by Conors counter.

Waterson-Gomez vs. Robertson
Gillian Robertson, SUB, R2
Waterson is a good fighter but, the last fight against Marina, she got dominated brutally by her and couldn’t hold Marina down for that long. I think Robertson dominates her in striking and Wrestling. And going to finish her by sub after dominant 1st round.

Anyone think these new UFC graphics look very average, like a small mma page made it on their laptop.

@Taiga 
I agree his striking is lacking defensively and offensively. But his grappling is so originally unique-it will be exceedingly difficult for anyone to prepare counter attacks to his set ups.

Also, with these young prodigies - they improve so much so quickly that I expect him to be even more mind blowing come June 29th

McGregor vs. Chandler
Conor McGregor, TKO, R1
which version of Conor shows up we will only know on the actual night of 303 but one outlying stat is mcgregors punch power i find chandlers reckless behavior is perfect for a counter striker like mcgregor when chandler rushes in Conor will land

marc andre is going to make this a tough fight for pyfer but pyfer is stronger in punch power and in the grappling department he wont fumble this one

Yep, People talking crazy with the glass jaw allegations. 

But, I Think maybe Fili is not the same after the KO loss against Brito: Between the KO loss against Yair and the KO loss against Brito, there was a period of at least 6 years. Now Fili was knocked twice in his last 5 fights. (Btw, Ige has underrated Power in his hands!).

@Traw 
yea i exaggerated with glass jaw but as of late i recall fili taking too much damage 
koed by ige in the first round
nathaniel wood dropped fili and hurt him in the first round
brito koed him in the first 40 seconds of the fight 
jourdain dropped fili in the first round
outstriked by sodiq for 15 minutes

fili beat
bill algeo-not known for knockouts
lucas almeida-now cut i believe and was a glass cannon
sheymon moraes-pfl bum barely beat a washed moraes

i can go for a while the point is i keep hearing cub is washed and he simply is not he got body kicked clean by giga who is a beast and got beat bad by martinez who also as of late has looked like an animal ill take cub whos likely the underdog here

Some media outlets are claiming this card will break PPV records.  I don't see it.  I just don't know that there are that many people that give a **** about this main event. Granted, as of now we only know 5 fights, and the UFC could stack the card.  But by main event power alone, this just feels like a gimmick.
