Erik Silva at -145 seems like an absolute steal. A guy who likes to grapple vs a 3-0 kickboxer who's 34

Also 67% of yall are going with Paul Renato Jr. Who's +240. I'm going with pouges because he actually fought decent competition but 2/3 of yall might win some cheddar if you're correct

Edgar vs Carpenter... Too high level for the Contender Series, two future title contenders in the UFC

Predictions: 5 of 5 Winners, 3 Perfect, 355 Points   |   Tied for 15th with 6 others

Everybody so high on Bo Nickal and whatever, rightfully so, he's a monster and has great potential. But Edgar Chairez vs Clayton Carpenter is the highest-level fight of this card, between 2 talented fighters from the new era that are too good and dangerous everywhere

Edgar is pretty much a human weapon, he can choke you out in a split second or snap you in half with a kick. Clayton is a guy with 5 bouts, fighting pretty much at a championship-caliber, with no real weakness within is skillset at all, and more wellrounded than most of the current champions in the UFC (including Kamaru, Francis, Jiri, Izzy, who have very suspect jiu jitsu and get away with it only because their takedown defense is top notch)

I have a strong feeling Dana White will sign both, even the loser. And i'm calling it right now, and knowing both guys very well, i can assure you they'll be top contenders in a couple years in ufc. And everyone in mma Lab will certainly and rightfully agree with what i say, about Clayton; and even the current best flyweight and world champion Brandon Moreno, who's been training with Edgar for years, will assure you that Chairez will be a top dog in no time too

Borrego vs. Nickal
Bo Nickal, TKO, R1
I hardly ever hype up prospects before I see them tested, but Bo Nickal is going to wreak havoc in that division. He's 26, probably one of the greatest college wrestlers of all time, and his striking is starting to look sharp. He's going to be a problem in the UFC.

Ya that was heavily exaggerated but he’s not wrong about carpenters celing. Chairez is a beast too but idk about him getting signed with a loss. He’s very exciting tho so if he loses he can maybe work his way back

Bro those are literally the 2 worst fighters on the card 💀 I mean probably not cause this card sucks and there's low level women but still, there's no way that post isn't 100% sarcasm. If it isn't then that is the stupidest most casual wannabe hardcore thing I've ever read. Señor Chairez is a bum getting fed to Carpenter and you know it's bad if IM saying that about him (I am incredibly biased) 

Even Carpenter isn't that good. From what I've seen he's an average good prospect. He's no Khamzat coming up in Brave, he's just decently good. Bad level of competition, no signature wins. Average prospect. I mean this isn't Ross vs Salvador levels of bad (still pissed they got signed, it wasn't bad enough that one got into the UFC now we have BOTH ffs) but it's really not that high level. Bo Nickal is the star of this show

If Chairez wins though I will be super excited. I'm rooting for him 100%, I just don't think he's UFC level. And like I said for Clayton he's got a pretty decently high ceiling. Regardless this should be a very fun fight, I don't hate the fight or the fighters. I'm just over exaggerating my "meh" attitude towards it to combat the extremely over exaggerated post about an 8-3 guy who lost 2 fights ago getting signed off a loss lol

I agree that this is the Bo Nickal show but there’s no way Chairez and Carpenter are less skilled than the heavyweights

This may be controversial, but until I see Nickal´s striking against an actual fighter (Borrego should be a good test) I will rate Carpenter as a better prospect.

That's what I said. I was saying there's no way he's less skilled than the women or the heavyweights. ******* stupid ass punctuations making my comments hard to understand. 

Oh yeah no ******* way. They're way more skilled than the heavyweights and the women  is what I meant

Carpenter isn't god tier though, if that's what you're referring too. That's an opinion I'm standing by unless he shows me something different. I've watched tape and he doesn't impress me more than any other prospect.

He easily has potential to be in the top 15. He was bred for fighting. Have you not seen his accolades? The dudes well rounded everywhere

It's flyweight, anyone with a pulse has potential to be top 15 (except the bums that got signed last week). Anyone can have "potential" to be a future contender, but as of right now I'm not seeing it. I think he barely makes it to top 10 unless he significantly improves, which he can do of course.
