Anyone gonna cap these fights? I've been doing well on any MMA events. I'll post my opinions on each fight and look forward to some discussion. No expert by no means but have been betting on all MMA events the past few month and been doing well. Just figured I'd share my experience. Will post write-ups now as I research some of these fighters I'm less familiar with. I don't have lines at my book so bets all depend on value. So I may end up betting a fighter I do not write-up as a winner due to value in lines.

Abus Magomedov v Gasan Umalatov
Gasan is outclassed everywhere here. I see Abus laying him down with a big shot and finishing him on the ground. Gasan will have to try to close distance and catch Abus, but Abus's kicking and length should have no problems keeping at range.
Abus will get another 1st round finish here.Comment -
Not watching cuz Ali Abdel Aziz is involved and he is a suspicious character.

Jake Shields v Ray Cooper III
Classic striker vs grappler here. I did watch the first fight between them and it was a pretty thorough beating by Cooper. Shields took alot of damage and could not get a takedown due to his inability to set them up. Surprisingly to me, Shields was a -1400 favorite in that fight. Im very curious to see what the line is here. Shields is a veteran of the sport and has had extreme success on the ground with marquee wins. Cooper's opposition is weak in comparison. Age is obviously a factor in this bout. The line is going to factor who I will be wagering on here but I feel Shields, being a vet, should have a better gameplan to get this to the ground.
Shields gets a sub likely in round 2 after wearing on cooper in round one. Its gonna end with a Shields sub or Copper KO.Comment -
Bruno Santos v Sadibou Sy
Another rematch on this card. I don't have a strong opinion on this fight but do think it will play out similar to first fight but Santos will likely have more success unless caught by a head kick.

Rick Story v Handesson Ferreira
This is going to be an interesting matchup. Story took a 2 year vacation then won both his PFL fights handily. His movement got better in his second PFL fight but his head still seemed a bit stiff. That can easily get him in trouble vs Ferreira. Ferreira has some quick and heavy hands and is very crafty. Not alot of history on Ferreira to go off but his fight script should be stand up all the way. I think Story's pressure will ultimately lead to a takedown so long as he can stay away from the big shots. I don't believe it will be competitive if the fight stays there.
I'll take Story. I see him finishing it by sub in second round.Comment -
John Howard v Shamil Gamzatov
Fight changed to Howard v Eddie Gordon. Not a very enticing fight. Gordon throws arching overhooks that could be fight ending but shouldn't land. Howard has the grappling advantage in my opinion.

Magomed Magomedkerimov v Pavel Kusch
Magomed is a good all around fighter who likes to strike. Pavel Kusch is a submission artist who also likes to stand and throw for some reason. When Kush is going backwards he tends to get caught against the cage and thats where I see him being tomorrow night. It'll likely be a short night for Kusch.

Louis Taylor v Rex Harris
Could be a fun fight to watch. I think experience wins this one and maybe some power.
I'll take Taylor to win.Comment -
Bojan Velickovic v Abubakar Nurmagomedov
Bojan is a good all around fighter. We all know Nurmagomedov is a tremendous grappler. I believe that Bojan can keep this fight on the feet and win round one.
Bojan advances by draw.Comment -
