I watched Cynthias last fight and her ground game is pretty good.
I except to submit JOJO, any opinions ?

Yes and slowed down considerably late. Granted, completely different style of fighter in Story but still.

could be due to him being a small ww also, I can see the same thing happening against a lot of ww's who are med-large for the weight class. if they can last 5 rounds that is.

I watched Felder vs. Ricci. I can see Felder having similar higher that usual volume against Ray too and Ray being very cautious because of Felders power and wrestling. Maybe lb Ray if he can keep up significant offence from kicking range + Felder R3 hedge.
 
my picks so far:
Stevie Ray
Cynthia Calvillo
Brett Johns
Paul Craig
Alexandre Pantoja

Suggestions welcome, what do You think guys ????
 
Super surprised to see people expecting a calderwood win

Fully expected it to be a given she gets grapple fucked and maybe submitted

Hope the Scottish make her the favourite

Craig takedowns aren't good , if he can't take Rountree down , he is pretty much dead. But if he manages to take him down, Rountree is in big trouble. If you bet Craig, that means that you think that he is going to be able to take Rountree down. I'm not very high on Craig tbh.

Calderwood has a big advantage on the feet, but we know what happens when they grapple her... I can see Calvillo getting the submission

I will see how the odds look like, what about the rest ? cool ?

I feel like.. if we don't talk about it too much people might make jojo the favourite

I was kinda thinking the same thing. Betting Craig's sub line might be the better option than his ML. I'm probably a little higher on Craig than you are. I think he has a slick ground game and is gritty. But overall I agree with your assessment of the fight. Craig will need to be creative to get it to the mat, and he may not be able to.

I got Felder over Ray. I stay away from WMMA. I got rountree over Craig. Not sure about John's and Pantoja yet.
 
Rountree/Craig odds will be very interesting. Probably one of the more extreme versions of a striker vs grappler matchup in a while.

Rountree has tremendous power and great stand up but suspect ground game. Whilst Craig has a very tricky ground but his stand up is wooden and his wrestling is still a question mark. To me it comes down to the wrestling aspect (will Craig be able to take Rountree down?).

I have a pretty strong lean on this.

Craig is still green in a lot of areas. He picked up MMA to late in his life. You see the head and arm throw he was going to each time against Pedro? That was amateurish and he keep going to it over and over. He had no other plan 2. RounTree will finish him IMO, just like Pedro did but even quicker. And then Craig can go back to being a math teacher.

I'm glad you are back

yeah, but I don't know about Ray, if Felder is smart and mixes his striking with his wrestling, he will win.

Other way around. Craig is very crafty and technical both on the feet and ground. The judo trip worked for starters, he just couldnt establish position.
Khalil is super green though, especially as seen in his Sanchez fight where he just got absolutely embarrased on the ground.

"technical both on the feet" ? Really? <6> All he did was throw that left kic, only 4 straigh times lol. And then a little one-two and that was it. He was fucked the rest of the fight. I agree with the ground part but def disagree with you on the fact that he is technical on the feet. Go watch his last fight against Pedro and really tell me he is a technical on his feet. RounTree is green on the ground no doubt, but I don't think Craig gets it there.
 
Nothing wrong with his technique on the feet. He's just slow. Extremely aggressive too, which is good to see.
