So far my record is pretty bad. My goal is to hit break even after Saturday's UFC.

I only like 2 fights:

Marlon Moraes (1.769) vs Henry Cejudo (2.200)

Moraes is on a roll with a 4 fight win streak including 3 impressive stoppages in a row. Cejudo is double champ, holding both the flyweight and bantamweight titles after he knocked out Dillashaw in the first round in his last fight. Cejudo is a tough fight with excellent wrestling and good standup. He's the last man to beat Demetrius Johnson and he showed he has knock out power with his win over Dillashaw. Moraes has been very impressive lately but he does have two split decisions in his first 2 fights in the UFC so this fight going to decision wouldn't surprise me. However, Moraes is a natural bantamweight and Cejudo is going up in weight so i'm slightly leaning Moraes here. Slightly.

My prediction is Moraes.

Donald Cerrone (2.300) vs Tony Ferguson (1.714)

Cerrone has gotten his groove back and currently has a 3 fight win streak. I can't remember the last time Ferguson lost since his win streak is so long. Both have good standup and grappling so I'm not sure whether this will be a standup war or grappling match. Probably stand up is my guess. If this was a 5 round fight, I would be very confident in picking Ferguson. Since this is only 3 rounds, I'm only slightly leaning Ferguson here.

My prediction is Ferguson.
