Re: Who wins these theoretical matchups?

1. Anothony Smith vs Alexander Gustaffson (Smith has close to no advantages in this matchup)
2. Johnny Walker vs Volkan Oezdemir (Never seen Johnny's fights...)
3. Tyron Woodley vs GSP (Really don't know... Love to see it!)
4. Demian Maia vs Michael Bisping (Maia is tough, and will eventually get the sub 7/10 times IMO)

5. Usman vs Colby (He outstrikes Colby)
6. Israel Adasenya vs Kelvin Gastelum (Slowly picks Kelvin apart)
7. Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic (Goes similarly to Gus. Stipe hits hard though, and he punches in volume... But, skill difference is too big)
8. Chad Mendes vs Michael Johnson (Hard to say, I think Johnson can outstrip Chad, but I also think Chad can take him down or maybe land a big one to end it)

9. Cain Velasquez vs Stipe Miocic (Sea level Cain **** Stipe up. I think he's don for though. Stipe by TKO)
10. Luke Rockhold vs Andrei Alrovski (I'm not sure how much bigger Arlovski will be. Two guys past their primes. Luke is definitely more skilled, but one clean hit from Arlovski and Luke is probably going out)
11. Khabib vs Colby Convington (Khabib is just a monster. I think he could even wrestle**** an elite WW wrestler)

12. Max Holloway vs Frankie Edgar (Just getting punched to a pulp if that were to happen)
13. Yoel Romero vs Aleksei Oleynik (Can't get Yoel down, Yoel by late KO with some crazy explosive ****)
14. Henry Cejudo vs Darren Elkins (Blankets him)
15. Joseph Benavidez vs Artem Lobov (Too big and powerful)

16. Amanda Nunes vs Louis Smolka (Lol, that would actually be interesting)

17. Fabricio Werdum vs Alexander Gustafsson (Not sure, Gus I big enough to be a HW and a better striker. Werdum would have a hard time taking him down too. I take Gus)
18. Volkan Oezdemir vs Robert Whittaker (Maybe Oezdemir KO's Whittaker, but Whittaker should ride a decision home)
19. Jacare Souza vs Corey Anderson (Jacare could get a sub or a "lucky" KO, but I think Corey is too big and Jacare will have a hard time getting him down)
20. Israel Adansenya vs Anthony Smith (Anthony Smith shouldn't ne fighting for a title)
21. Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Derek Brunson (If Khabib used a few years to put on muscle and weight... But as of now, Brunson is too big, stuffs his TD's and punches too hard)

22. Ben Askren vs Kamaru Usman (Askren is funky, but Usman is just a much better striker and his overall grappling skills is better)
23. Ben Askren vs Covington (Not sure. 50/50 for me. An edge to Colby because better striking)
24. Ben Askren vs Stephen Thompson (Wonderboy outstrikes him and avoids the grappling. If he does get taken down once or twice, I think he survives anyways. That's what I hope anyways. If Askren gets a hold of you though, he's not letting go. But I love Wonderboy, so this one is with the heart as well)
25. Ben Askren vs Demian Maia (The WW wrestlers have defeated Maias' spirit and pretty given the gameplan on how to defeat him as a wrestler. Can Askren outstrike Maia though? Actually
