Derrick Lewis VS Ciryl Gane- The main event time! This is going to be a banger! Gane has improved his game leaps and bounds, he has looked amazing and an freak athlete. Lewis will need to step up and mentally get into Ganes head with his striking but if he can’t…this Is all Gane.
José Aldo VS Pedro Munhoz- The Co-Main time! Aldo the legend man! The name and resume speaks for itself here. The deal though is cardio. Munhoz is durable fighter and the sub skills are there with great hands. He is the complete package here. I hate going against Aldo but Munhoz should pull this off. Hey
Vicente Luque VS Michael Chiesa- Great style fight. Luque is an elite striker and that is where his game is at. The punches he brings are so quick and accurate. Chie wants this fight on the ground but if he can’t then this is all Luque to me.
Tecia Torres VS Angela Hill- Female fight! Torres has tough resume and making it work though, she is no pushover at all. Hill will want to keep this fight on the feet in which Toress will want to try to keep up. Torres is motivated and wants this fight…I really like her here.
Yadong Song VS Casey Kenney- Love this fight! Song has been an high class prospect that people won’t stop talking about! Song is quick on the feet with very fast hands. Kenney is an power puncher and has good wrestling. I do like the edge in Kennney with the grappling aspect. Song should have the edge in the striking. Very good fight overall and giving Kenney the SLIGHT edge.
Rafael Fiziev VS Bobby Green- Great fight! Green has been interesting with a ton of beef against Hill. Fiz has good potential but mentally just needs to get better. Green is getting an step up in competition against Fizviev which is scary. I am all over Fiz though.
Drako Rodriguez VS Vince Morales- Interesting fight. Morales has some bad loses and awful ring IQ. Morales has bad hands and defense. Drako has been decent but so inconsistent, on the flip side he did get an win on DWCS plus has great hands. I think Drako has the bigger edge and better hands.
Ed Herman VS Alonzo Menifield- Step down in competition for Herman??? Herman is an vet in this field and can put up a good fight against Alonzo who wants to knockout anyone. Herman will want to pull off the sub here. Alonzo will have to step up in his grappling here and physically the better fighter…don’t count out Herman though.
Karolina Kowalkiewicz VS Jessica Penne- Very interesting fight with who Kow has lost 4 fights in an row against durable fighters. Kow is an good fighter but her chin is questionable. Her whole attitude has changed it feels like. Penne has couple solid wins and has grappling that I like. This is an huge 50/50 fight. I can see Kow come through but I think Penne takes over. I want the more motivated fighter in Penne who is hungry!
Manel Kape VS Ode Osbourne- Good matchup! Ode has been all over the weight class and coming down in weight here. Kape needs an UFC win but has good power plus an very physical fighter. Ode has good hands and accurate striking. He makes mental mistakes though and I think Kape can make his UFC win come true here.
Miles Johns VS Anderson dos Santos- Good fight and I am glad it got moved. Johns should have the grappling and wrestling edge. The power in his hands is there. Santos does have grappling on the other hand here. I think Johns though handles this.
Victoria Leonardo VS Melissa Gatto- Female fight! Gatto is making her debut! She has solid grappling. Gatto beat Rosa who has looked good in the UFC. Leo didn’t look good last fight to be honest. This is an huge step up for Leo which scares me because this isn’t an easy fight. Gatto should handle business her and should get the win with the grappling.
Johnny Munoz Jr. VS Jamey Simmons- First fight! Both guys coming off loses. Munoz didn’t look super bad but started to fade in the fight. Simmons does have good hands though. Simmons also will want to grapple here which is underrated. I think he should handle this fight in an bounce back spot.
