If everyone shows up & fights, this could be the 2nd fight in UFC history with 13 fights on the card.

The previous card with Demetrious Johnson was the 1st.

I think Artem Lobov has a chance of pulling the upset, but we shall see.

I like to see Diego Sanchez fight as i have never seen him in a boring match and that is the match i am looking for in this card.John Dodson is another fighter which i like because of his power in his strikes and i think he does have knock out power which is surprising for a short man and in the main card
Cub Swanson is back after a battle against Doo Ho Choi and if he could perform anywhere near that then he will win the fight.

I just did a video on this
So far these are my picks

Swason Labov under 3.5
Sanchez fight over 2.5
Penne ML
Dandois ML

Yet another UFC event and in the event of fight fixing scandal around a match involving Leo Kuntz which took place in Korea i have to think twice before wagging a bet for fights outside the US.
John Dodson v Eddie Wineland is a good fight and even though Dodson is coming into this fight after a loss i am sure he could win this match as he has knock out power in this division. I am a Diego Sanchez fan as he is a brawler and age is the biggest factor and Al Iaquinta is on a four fight win streak, so i will go with Al Iaquinta to win the fight.

Well then if that's the case, then I'll make a bet on one of krach's underdogs.  Dandois ML looks good after watching the video, hearing what krach had to say about her and getting convinced on making a bet after reading your post, Eality.

Also keep in mind that the odds moved from the fighter being a favorite to being a 7 to 1 underdog in the korean fight.
Clearly something was up
When you see a move like that it could be injuiry, illness or other things like foul play.

Here are my predictions for the day

Jessica Penne v Danielle Taylor : Jessica Penne
Dustin Ortiz v Brandon Moreno  : Dustin Ortiz
John Dodson vs. Eddie Wineland : John Dodson
There is no way Wineland could keep up with Dodson and his powerful left hand.
Al Iaquinta vs Diego Sanchez : Al Iaquinta
Cub Swanson vs Artem Lobov : Cub Swanson
This could be a short fight in my opinion and the possibility is that Cub Swanson will finish off Artem within the first two rounds.

Here are the results of the event.  Good thing I only made one bet on it as I agree with all Krach's picks.  But the thing is I didn't like the odds.  They were a little low for my taste.

2-3 weeks till the next UFC card on may 13th, Miocic vs Dos Santos 2.

Hopefully it won't seem like too long a wait.

There could be a World Series of Fighting event but definitely no bellator until 2-3 weeks also.

It was a pretty easy card and the only fights that surprised me is Danielle Taylor which i thought with a disadvantage with size and reach Jessica Penne could win the fight if she fought a good tatical fight and i thought Joe Lauzon to win the fight against Stevie Ray,even though it was a really close fight,the rest was predictable, it is time for Diego Sanchez to retire as he is getting knocked out for the second time in his past two fights and being into wars in the past he needs some rest.

[Marma Kalari]

I really missed the fight card entirely,the fight card was pretty easy and all the favorites won the fights,the main reason i did not find it interesting to wage a bet is simply because the odds were not that attractive to wage a bet. All of the main event opponents were heavy underdogs and the possibility to see an upset was nil.

[krach]

rekt rekt rekt rekt
0-4 on this card
it can happen.

Dandois and Penne were close decisions imo

fight card was pretty easy and all the favorites won the fights

No, Taylor was even money or an underdog

Dandois and Penne were close decisions imo

The women's fights were really close but Danielle Taylor fought really well irrespective of her size disadvantage and it was an impressive win . Despite the win and a five fight winning streak Al Iaquinta says he is not sure what his future will be as he says that he is getting underpaid as a fighter and looking at his pay it is true ,he is fighting after a two year gap due to injuries and he did not get fight of night performance for his impressive knock out and he was really pissed.

Jessica Penne and Dustin Ortiz messed up my parlay and Jessica Penne fight was a really close one but Dustin Ortiz got submitted in the second round which is a disappointing performance from him and the rest of the fight card were good one as the results were evident and since they were having low odds i parlayed Jessica and Dustin and both messed up pretty bad.
