Awesome! I missed these. Where have you been, Jeff?

Honestly can't pick the first fight, too much unknown. I'll be cheering for Conor but if I was putting money on Id pick Mendes just because of the line. If you want to tie me down then I'll go Conor, just cause I want to believe and I don't want to see Aldo vs Mendes 3.

Other than that:
Rory
Bermudez
Gunnar
Pickett
Brown

Wouldn't be surprised if Stephens knocked out Bermudez or Thatch did Gunnar over. I went with the ground advantage in both cases. Phone Post 3.0

Thanks for the props.  I was focusing on my jiu-jitsu for a while but now I've started my own blog (www.jeffjitsu.com) so I'm writing my predictions again.
