Still reeling after losing one of our guys this week in a senseless act of #violence, so no #podcast this week. #KTFO on @colorcastapp will be back next week, but wanted to get picks out for #UFCColumbus. Went 10-2 last week, now 75-35 for picks in 2022. I will miss tonight’s @UFC action, as I’ll be coaching a couple of @zeroto100fitness guys at a #kickboxing event in #Madison. While it’s a #FightNight, it’s a solid card with some interesting matchups. I think style wins out over talent in several of these.

I like Blades in the #MainEvent, as #wrestling tends to thrive against #karate as a base discipline. I think Blades’s #takedown acumen gets easier with kicks thrown at him. I took 4 upsets. I like Kara-France over Ashkarov in a fight that has title shot implications. I think Kara-France is too big to be taken down and controlled easy and has dangerous striking. I like Saldana, Nicolau, and Diaries. The most lopsided fight on the card is just too crazy to take, as I can’t really figure out how Tiuliulin even got signed. He’s coming off a loss prior to signing with the #UFC.

Other thoughts…
Not sure why Magny is on the prelims, but he shouldn’t be…really want to see Gutierrez, McMann Wood pull off wins, but fear they are up against a really talented prospects. McMann hasn’t really evolved from her wrestling days, making this a tough matchup against a woman that can strike and grapple. (at Cold Spring Park)
