Miss Pereira vs Gane Chael Sonnen: predicted Pereira · to win for Pereira vs Gane. Actual Gane · KO/TKO R2. Result: Miss. Note: From the UFC on Paramount+ HQ Spotlight panel.
Sonnen isn't convinced Gane truly wants the prize — that winning an interim belt opens a can of worms (a Pereira rematch, an Aspinall drop-back, a returning Jon Jones) he may not be invested in — and a fighter who doesn't want the prize often doesn't want the victory. He takes Pereira, expecting a long night, possibly a decision.
- Questions whether Gane really wants an interim belt
- Expects a long night — possibly a decision
- Pereira fights comfortably at the ~240 lb he always trains at
“I'm taking Alex Pereira. It's going to be a long night, possibly even a decision.”

No pick Topuria vs Gaethje Chael Sonnen: made no pick for Topuria vs Gaethje. Actual Gaethje · KO/TKO R4. Result: No pick.
Won't call it — argues you're either overrating Topuria or underrating Gaethje, and admits he doesn't know which.
