Let me kick us off:
My picks for Boyd, Lemaire and Noh are pretty much random as I don't know enough about those fighters to make an educated guess.
Blake should beat Thompson as he's more experienced against higher level opponents. Loser of this fight leaves town according to Cor Hemmers analysis of the undercard.
On to Gerges VS Adegbuyi. I'm a big fan of both fighters who currently are on a roll. I think most people expect Benny to somewhat overwhelm Hesdy with his good hands, but my gut feeling is that Hesdy is going to make a statement here, possibly even winning by KO. The only downside to this fight is that someone has to lose.
On to the main card. I have Cavalari defeating Ilunga. I think there's a good chance this fight turns into a brawl. While brawling is where Ilunga feels at home, I think Cavalari is physically too overwhelming for him.
Mwekassa beats Collette, unless Collette stays outside and turns it into a classic lowkick game which I don't really see happening.
Cavalari beats Mwekassa, unless Mwekassa scores an early knockout against Collette while Cavalari goes in battleworn.
Barrett beats Wilnis with relative ease. He's probably the best North American kickboxer.
I have Kiria defeating van Roosmalen in his third try. I don't see this becoming an exact repeat of their first two fights mainly due to the championship rounds.

Wow gerges has gained more than 10 kg. I don't know, but Gerges is a fighter of volume and speed, so it might be bad for him.

Well, that means it should be easy to fill and that when jam-packed it should be LOUD on TV. That's important, I think. Small and intimate with a rowdy crowd comes across far better on television than a quarter filled arena where you can hear a pin drop. |

it is. but it would be nice if they could fill bigger venues. I understand that requires a following here though. and they don't have that.

What's moderately frustrating is that they should have been doing this from the start.
They are moving backwards and it's just weird. They should have started off working with guys like Apollo to promote shows and maybe looking to do those Road 2 Glory shows for Spike TV with a few bigger names here and there on them instead of "WE ARE HERE AND WE ARE HUGE, YEAH."
