I'll take my monthly "controversial" points on Richards please

[gregregegg]

Kerman Lejarraga -- decision.

Buatsi -- decision

Benevidez -- Stopage, round 7

Zanibek-- Stopage, Round 6

P.s why no Meng vs Pascal, Probably the most interesting fight to pick of the week i think.

Seemed like a Meng banker to me
Figured the 4 we have would be decent enough

3 or so years ago it would be interesting, but Pascal is old man.
The 4 we have are great.

yea fair enough, but i disagree about a meng banker, bookies have it closer than Buatsi vs richards, and WAYYYYYY closer than benividez or Alimhakanuly. I actualy really like pascals chances to knock out meng.

I guess he is 39 and inactive, so less relevent to the div moving fowards than the fights we are picking.

[adislav123]

I'd have picked Pascal knocking out fang late.

[adislav123]

meng.

Pascal is old, and inactive.
For me, that fight falls into the "who cares" bin.
I'm happy with the four choices this week. It will be a big enough spread of guesses and results.

That was my thinking, and for selfish reasons, it's easier to input less fights!
