The only thing shorter than this post will be tonight's PPV, because it's full of squash matches. On the bright side, it should be exciting and will be a nice break after the horrendously long UFC 190 PPV. Here are my predictions for tonight's card:
VanZant vs. Chambers: "Astro Girl" may rival "12 Gauge" in the looks department, but after VanZant's thrashing of Herrig in her last fight, I see a lopsided beating by the newcomer en route to a decision.
Winner: Paige VanZant
Blachowicz vs. Anderson: My gut tells me Blachowicz will get the KO in Round 2.
Winner: Jan Blachowicz
Johnson vs. Manuwa: This is a clear tuneup fight for "Rumble." Manuwa should be proud of himself if he gets out of Round 1 without getting KO'd.
Winner: Anthony Johnson
Arlovski vs. Mir: "Pitbull" has been on a tear, most recently knocking out Travis Browne within one round. As much respect as I have for Mir, there's no way his chin is going to hold up in this fight. I see another KO for Arlovski on his way to a title shot.
Winner: Andrei Arlovski
Johnson vs. Dodson: Like Ronda Rousey, "Mighty Mouse" is leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of his division. In contrast, "The Magician" hasn't looked any different from his last title fight, especially after he was gifted a decision over Zach Makovsky in his last match (which I thought the latter won). I see a clear decision win for Johnson en route to his quest to break Anderson Silva's record of title defenses.
Winner (and still UFC flyweight champion): Demetrious Johnson.
