Didn't Edgar Chairez have another fight originally booked? Also what happened to Carpenter vs Erceg? Why isn't in showing under cancelled bouts anywhere

I remember seeing Bo wrestle for a spot on the Olympic team at the ****ies arena before he even had his first ameture fight. Crazy that he is already main eventing.

For you guys following Carpenter;

I had dinner with him & his coaches last night. Well we had dinner, he’s on a new diet & actually ate breakfast & hydrated a little before jumping on the scale at 125 to weigh in. That’s a next level improvement in his weight cut, never been easier. I expect you’ll see a level of skill & savagery tonight that we haven’t seen from him before. 

Anything can happen in a fight but unless a KO or sub opens up in the initial engagements, like it did with Maui, Rodney & Clem, I expect him to completely neutralize Edgar’s offense with movement & strikes then take him down, gift wrap him & GNP him out.

To be honest, this DWCS shot has come to Bo Nickal way too soon. He has a great experience in NCAA Wrestling and has had a good amateur MMA career, but I think that in his only fight as a professional he did not go beyond the one minute margin, I think he still needed to face a little more position and prove himself at greater distances. Nickal has excellent wrestling and has already worked a lot on his submission grappling in recent years, added to that he showed great KO power in his pro debut. Nickal is part of Masvidal's team within ATT and without a doubt working with coaches like Mikey Brown and Paulino Hernandez will allow him to evolve very quickly, adding to the fact that his sparring partners are fighters like Jorge Masvidal, Yoel Romero and Roman Faraldo (who also belongs to to the Masvidal team).
I believe that Nickal has a clear path to come out tonight with his hand raised, but Zach Borrego is 3-0 as a professional and has been in MMA longer. I think Nickal wins, but the odds of -1600 seem very exaggerated for a fighter with a 1-0 record.

It’s all good bro, no offense taken 😁
It’s true that he’s never weight trained & doesn’t take any supplements which people find hard to believe. It’s just unusual for people to see a 26 yr old who’s been in the gym training for 21yrs, eating clean. He runs camelback once a week, puts a mouthful of water in his mouth in the parking lot, runs to the top, shadowboxes all the way down & spits the mouthful of water back out in the parking lot. Maybe that will pop up in a future promo of him training. He’s fine tuned his body over the last 20+ yrs

Vicious New Predictions

Predictions: 5 of 5 Winners, 3 Perfect, 325 Points   |   Tied for 99th

Borrego vs. Nickal
I adopt Bo Nickal at -1600. He has a fancy right hand. Nickal will likely screw the previous pitfalls.

Boynazarov vs. Silva
I predict Erik Silva at -140. He has a lascivious tsuri-dashi. Silva must realign the feat.

Carpenter vs. Cháirez
I am obsessed with Clayton Carpenter at -300. He has a zany omoplata and an automatic bear hug. Carpenter is about to ignite the enemy.

Renato Jr. vs. Pogues
I want Jamal Pogues at -300. He has a macabre dragon sleeper. Pogues is about to land the adversary.

Lavado vs. Wójcik
I trust Karolina Wójcik at -225. She has a radioactive spinning back elbow and an exotic elevator hook sweep and also an odd clinch. Wójcik should victimize the counteragent.
