Stipe Miocic - Knockout, Round 3 (Will just hit Cormier's glowing red weak spot)
Marlon Vera - Submission, Round 1 (Calling an end to the O'Malley hype train here.)
Jairzinho Rozenstruik - Knockout, Round 1 (He can't remember losing to Ngannou so it shouldn't have hurt his confidence too much)
John Dodson - Decision (Dodson should retire if he loses this)
Herbert Burns - Submission, Round 1 (Picking the guy who came in more over weight)
FOTN Jim Miller vs. Vinc Pichel (Miller for FOTN seems like a safe bet...5 years ago)
POTN Marlon Vera (Upset alert)
POTN Jairzinho Rozenstruik (If it's just a standard KO he won't get it, but if it's either very fast, or he goes through some adversity first then he'll get it)

Khabib, Sub, R4 - I feel like the longer your win streak goes the more inevitable your first loss becomes. Love Gaethje and would be happy to see him become champ (and I'm sure a rematch would be a FOTY contender) but this feels like the safest bet.
Whittaker, Dec - Really didn't like how much Rob got clipped by Till early in his last fight, but I feel like his range management is good enough that he can avoid Cannonier sending him to space.
Harris, KO, R2 - A round to warm up, then KO within a minute of R2. If he does this in at least semi-dramatic fashion they'll give him POTN.
Hawes, KO, R1 - no idea who either of these guys are, just went with my local odds.
Murphy, Dec - I'm not too informed on either of these two unforunately.
Ankalaev - KO, R1 - 5th time's the charm.

FOTN: Oliveira v Rakhmonov - Regional up-and-comer will give the vet a good showing, expecting some back and forth here.
POTN: Harris
POTN: Hawes

Brut have you decided when the season is ending? When it gets into the final stretch I sometimes need to start strategizing my picks vs points (e.g. picking a favourite when the leader picks the same doesn't help me catch up, so I sometimes start hunting live underdogs)

I've had this problem in a similar Pick 'Em event at my work for each Tennis Slam. The problem gets compounded by the fact that each round there are fewer and fewer matches to choose, and we haven't really worked out how to solve it...
