He's very close with them so Im counting hik in. Its like with Gamrot he may not be mostly a Red Dragon anymore but at his core his main Team is Red Dragon not American Top Team, same with Rębecki and Berserkers

Adesanya vs. Du Plessis
Israel Adesanya, TKO, R4
DDP proved to absolutely everyone now, that he belongs to the top. Personnaly, I just knew he was something special since he brutalized the always tough Brad Tavares, showing bad technique AND brutal madness at the same time. Showing that even with a bad cardio, a great heart can win a dog fight. But I think Adesanya is exactly the kind of technician to punish that chaotic charge. And I hate to say it, because Adesanya is behaving poorly recently, but I think he will style on DDP.

I wonder if Tyson Pedro will be on this card & have explosive diarrhea again, causing him to lose (so he says?)

Seriously Blood Diamond in another PPV card?

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 475 Points   |   Tied for 3495th

At this point it seems that Eugune Bareman has told the matchmakers that if they take at least 3 CKB fighters for a PPV they must also schedule Blood Diamond by default. I have always shared the parallels that Matheta labeled as Adesanya's Lobov, but I think that despite his limitations Lobov managed to get a couple of victories in the UFC and outside of TUF and UFC 202 he had to do it for his part in cards away from Conor's spotlight (although somehow McGregor almost always managed to get ringside in Artem Fights) not to mention that he achieved the great achievement of beating even former boxing world champion on neutral ground as BKFC. 
Many criticized Ulberg in his early days citing that he was only there for being Adesanya's Main Sparring Partner but despite his loss in his UFC debut, he is currently on a winning streak and has 3 KO wins in a row. Plus Ulberg earned his KO spot in the DWCS while Matheta is obviously only in the UFC by being a member of CKB and being one of Adesanya's sparring partners.

This will be the end for The Pleasure Man. No more UFC. Turkalj could be a great fighter, his problem is around him. He cant get the right help, thats why he is a looser. The trainer he have, SUCKS. Tyson Pedro will win this...
