So picks?

From the early prelims

Miller
Smotherman
Hokit
Hernandez
Johnson

Bukauskas
Gautier (1st round KO)
Nurmagomedov

Silva
Silva
Lewis
O'Malley
Gaethje

[Duluth]

My guesses:

Justin Gaethje v Paddy Pimblett
Sean O'Malley v Song Yadong
Waldo Cortes-Acosta v Derrick Lewis
Natália Silva v Rose Namajunas
Arnold Allen v Jean Silva

Umar Nurmagomedov v Deiveson Figueiredo
Ateba Gautier v Andrey Pulyaev
Nikita Krylov v Modestas Bukauskas

Alex Perez v Charles Johnson
Michael Johnson v Alexander Hernandez
Josh Hokit v Denzel Freeman
Ricky Turcios v Cameron Smotherman
Adam Fugitt v Ty Miller

Hard to know how good Pimblett is. His best performance has been in his hardest fight so far. I think he'll step up again

Justin Gaethje v Paddy Pimblett
Sean O'Malley v Song Yadong
Waldo Cortes-Acosta v Derrick Lewis
Natália Silva v Rose Namajunas
Arnold Allen v Jean Silva

Umar Nurmagomedov v Deiveson Figueiredo
Ateba Gautier v Andrey Pulyaev
Nikita Krylov v Modestas Bukauskas

Alex Perez v Charles Johnson
Michael Johnson v Alexander Hernandez
Josh Hokit v Denzel Freeman
Ricky Turcios v Cameron Smotherman
Adam Fugitt v Ty Miller

Justin within 2 minutes by knockout or Paddy by submission later than that

Hmmm maybe picking Smotherman was a bad call

Figueiredo and Perez both missed weight

Classic Bisping.
Weight cutting is a bit of a blight though. Perez looked like he was on the verge of passing out and Figgy was practically carried to and from the scale. Surely there must be a better way.
