[FONT="]One I really like is the PitBull at -107 ...Sherman likes to move forward, very aggressive fighter. Fairly high volume as well, but the issue with his style is that he also has very little defense. He’ll eat 2 or 3 shots to land one of his own. Even on the regional scene he’s been taking a lot of damage from lower level guys. It does look like he has some pop in his shots though. Arlovski, on the other hand, is more of a counter puncher. His volume isn’t great but he has a habit of slowing fights down to his pace. Even though he’s coming in short notice I think it is a rather favorable matchup for him. Unless Arlovski shows up completely washed, I think he should be able to counter Sherman coming in and slip a lot of his shots, especially with how much Sherman likes to move forward. The last fighter that tried to constantly move forward on Arlovski was Rothwell and Arlovski touched him up. The obvious concern is Arlovski is 42 and has lost a step, but his game still has aged rather well. Arlovski is the much better fighter, so unless his age really starts to show I think he gets this. He should be able to cruise to a decision, but with how hittable Sherman is and coming forward...it wouldn’t be surprising if Andre got the KO.[/FONT]

[FONT="]Gravely should outclass this guy even though the odds are shit. Birchak was already released once in 2016 but has managed to get another run. Gravely's ground work can be dominate although he may choose to strike,,,at least for awhile. In reality he should be able to dictate whatever he wants.[/FONT]

[FONT="]As for the next fight: I really thought hard on Meerschaert by SUB +200 but his last 2 fights inspire little confidence. I do expect Fabinski to take Meerschaert down but Meerschaert will be confident he can wrap up a sub. Fabinski has shown a weakness there but he has faces high-level black belts in Prazeres and Muniz. Meerschaert may really have to hurt Fabinski to soften him up enough for the finish. This could also be a boring position battle with limited action...gonna stand aside for another one...[/FONT]
