UFC 269 DFS Breakdown

Priscilla Cachoeira verses Gillian Robertson- Here we go! First fight of the night in the women's flyweight division! Priscilla is on the come up in this division and has made a name for herself. She is a durable striker and on a two-fight win streak. Robertson is a talented fighter though and this is a huge test for Priscilla. Robertson has great wins on her resume coming into this fight. Priscila will have to try to out strike Robertson in this fight which will be a heavy test for her. I do think Roberston handles this fight.

Randy Costa verses Tony Kelley- What a fight and here we go! Costa is a talented striker with great takedown defense. Kelley is more so working on his volume rather than punches overall. The takedown defense and defense in general where he will eat a ton of shots is what I am worried about. Costa has pop and where he is going to tag Kelley. Costa is looking for a comeback and see him getting here.

Ryan Hall vs Darrick Minner- Interesting fight! Hall is an amazing fighter who can pull out a win anytime. Halll has so much potential in the ring, and he is making his comeback story and after losing last fight. Last fight, I am not worried about and think he has cleaned up his game. Minner has looked good far in recent form and lot of time in the ring. With Krause in his corner, that is a step up for me. The takedown defense is what I am worried about. I am liking Hall in this fight to bounce back in a huge way.

Alex Perez vs Matt Schnell- Here we go! Perez is coming off a big fight over a year ago and has gotten much better since then. He has worked on his skills and grown up since then. He has great striking and worked on the grappling, super well rounded overall. Schenell defense is what worries me in this fight. I am all over Perez to come in and handle business in this fight to show the world how talented he still is.

Andre Muniz vs Eryk Anders- Middle weight fight! Muniz had a great win against Souza and coming in as the favorite! Muniz has made a name for himself and on the come up in this division. He has great grappling, and he will want you on the mat instantly. Anders has nasty knockout power, and his hands is the path to victory. This is going to be a clash of the fighting styles. I do like Muniz and think he is hungry for this matchup.

Bruno Silva vs Jordan Wright- Middleweight matchup here we go! Wright is coming off a huge win last fight and man the striking output he brings to the table is amazing. Silva is 2-0 coming into the UFC on a streak and he is a heavy striker also. This is going to be a brawl on the feet. The thing is, Silva has grappling under his belt which we shall see if Wright can combat that. I do like Silva here to mix in all of his skills in this match up.

Augusto Sakai vs Tai Tuivasa- Heavy wight matchup and here we come! Sakai is coming off a two-loss streak, but he is fast with his hands and explosive power. Tai is coming in on a three-fight win streak and the kill shot power is there. Tai has nasty hands and also has the grappling to hang in the fight. This is a super close fight and should be an excellent one, I think Sakai cand get back on the winning side of the cage.

Pedro Munhoz vs Dominck Cruz- Munhoz is coming off a loss by the legend in Jose Aldo. Now he fights another legend in Cruz. He has fought big name fighters recently. He has solid power and for sure can get the finish here. He is all around fighter with the grappling and striking. Cruz is in great shape and putting in the work still to be the best fighter possible. Close fight by far. I do like Cruz here based on recent bias based on the work he has put in and the wrestling aspect to take down Munhoz.

Josh Emmmett vs Dan Ige- Talking about another legend, we have Dan 50k Ige! Emmett is coming over a year layoff winning against Shane Burgos and is a nasty fighter. He is going to come into this fight wanting to knock out Ige. On the other hand, Ige has great underrated grappling that goes unnoticed. Coming off a loss, he has great skills to hang in this fight. Striker verses grappler style matchup and I am loving it. If Emmett can clip him, Ige's night is over.

Sean O'Malley vs Raullian Paiva- Man, what a character Malley is. Malley is the heavy favorite coming into this fight and the guys he has fought on his resume, aren't the greatest but the record is great of course. He has great skills on the feet and striking overall. He does the potential to lose this on the mat though which is the only way Paiva can win this. Paiva is a striker and has upside but this is a tough fight for him. Give me Malley though in this fight.

Kai Kara France vs Cody Garbrandt- What a fight! France is a heck of a fighter and well rounded. Coming into the division we have Cody who has fought great fighters and the resume is their goodness. 6 months ago, he lost against Font who is another talented fighter. Cody still has skill though and no pushover. The boxing is there, and striking power is legit. He will get into the fight and push the pace. France though is coming off a huge win and can do it all. He needs to get a win other than a decision. He has good wins though and well-rounded for sure. I do like Cody though especially in this bout who can get the job done.

Miranda Maverick vs Erin Blanchfield- Female fight! Maverick is a great fighter who has been riding up despite last loss. Blanchfield has looked great coming into the UFC. She looked amazing in Invicta before incoming into the UFC. Super underrated fighter overall. This is not an easy matchup for Maverick. I have to take Blanchfield who wants to take care of this fight.

Geof Neal vs Santiago Ponzinibbio- Neal is coming off a two-fight losing streak but is looking to bounce back here. He has fought super talented fighters while taking on the best. Ponz is coming off a win after his layoff and wanting to extend the streak. Ponz has great striking but so does Neal. This is going to be a striking battle. Ponz is coming into this fight mentally ready, and the striking battle is going to be in his favor to be honest.

Amanda Nunes VS Julianna Peña- The CO-Main! The GOAT herself in Nunes is fighting Pena in this fight. The only way Pena can win this fight if she gets Nunes to the ground and just start landing hammer fists. Nunes will have to prevent that which she for sure can. Nunes is just the clear-cut favorite, and she can win this with ease though. You have to take the GOAT.

Charles Oliveira VS Dustin Poirier- The Main Event for the belt! Oliveira is a submission machine while the warrior in Dustin is ready to go. Oliveria can submit in any way shape or form. That is the thing here, Khabib subbed Poirer last fight which I for sure think Olivera can do the same here. Olivera is going to want to take down Poirier. What a fight but man can Poirer do it? I think if he can get the striking going, he can. Close fight to me but Charles can win off the sub!
