Slighly leaning Cabral, Edwards, and Willie Gates
Am a big tumenov fan but this is not an easy fight for him, Gunnar may have looked bad against maia but maia was always many levels bjj above him and like a whole weight class above him by fight night.
Gunnar will be similar sized in height and reach here and has excellent counters of his own and a much better ground and sub game coming in, I like tumenov maybe parlayed or su, hedged with nelson sub or stab at his decision line also, early days yet !
Not sure where all the reem stock is coming from, struve and jds came back from serious long surgeries and were not present in the octagon call it ring rust or awol and roy was too big and slow to catch reem, AA is an equal deadly striker (67% ko wins), good solid boxing and good ttd when it works, sure very poor performances against mir and ko loss from stripe but an important fight for both considering they were possibly up next for werdum. Maybe ufc trying to do Reem vs Werdum II or AA vs Werdum II where both opponents already have a win over werdum, I think if reem gets cracked he will go legless or go down, just depends which AA version turns up.
don't forget the rick story fight before maia... not to meniton his only win in between the two losses doesn't look nearly as good in hindsight (thatch...)
oh, and don't forget this..

Think he makes better use of the length, will have the better striking, more athletic, and hopefully learned a thing or two from getting grappled by Ortiz. Paddy needs a sub to win imo, hes not very good at controlling top positionswhy gates? you think he avoids the ground, obviously? i was leaning the other way
Two peoole on this forum have picked correctly all winners on a UFC card in past few weeks. I will be trying my luck every show now £30 a pop has to be worth it in long run.
Would you limit to a certain number or just all fights?
Might be worth splitting say 6 fights on one and 6 on another parlay
