UFC Vegas 56 Picks

Osbourne-Big reach advantage, lower volume, big KO power, great footwork. Adashev fights hard but isn't much threat on ground and can be caught, not much of a chin.

Silva-In low level women's mma greater physicality/strength usually is enough to get it done. She is the younger/stronger fighter and should be able to bully Botelho.

Trizano-Needs to avoid the KO (I like Trizano's toughness), use his footwork, he is the better overall striker. Needs to let his hands go here. Almeida is making his debut. Cardio is a big factor here, Trizano has the adv there, he may lose round 1 but I think he wins the last 2 after Almeida tires.

Rozenstruik-betting on the KO, I don't do it often but smaller octagon should force action. think Volkov gets caught at some point over 5 rounds. Similar to when Volkov fought Lewis, Volkov will be winning rounds until that big punch KO's him.
 
Menifield and Evloev would be my picks on the other main card fights. Lines were too high to play though.
