UFC 270 Breakdown

Francis N'Gannou VS Ciryl Gane- The Main Event! What a fight! Francis last fight is this one and he wants to go for more money somewhere. The power in his hands is the best there ever is. Gane though has amazing defense and can stick plus move nonstop. The grappling though is underated. They have trained together also which I think Gane gets the advantage from that working with the power punch from Francis. The volume is in Gane's favor, but power is in Francis side.

Brandon Moreno VS Deiveson Figueiredo- The CO-Main Event! Triology and this series is tied! Moreno is motivated and on a momentum rush. This fight though is in Moreno's hand and in his prime. I love the cast iron chin he has in which it has looked great. Fig is getting old and in his peak of fighting career. It is hard to not trust Moreno on the form he is in.

Cody Stamann VS Said Nurmagomedov- Good fight. Stamann is a good wrestler and boxer but coming off of two good loses. Said is a great striker, and the leg kicks are great. I am all in on Said who has the diverse strikes that Stamann won't be able to handle.

Michel Pereira VS Andre Fialho- Fun and wild fight. Pereira can do anything in the ring and will give you a show. He has a great resume coming into this fight. Fialho has fought all around the world and now coming into the UFC. Fialho is getting a step up in competition, but he is ready to go. This is not a easy fight though. Pereira is quick on the feet and that is his path to victory where he can avoid the strikes then take over. I think Pereira will win this fight based on his style in the ring for the judges when it comes down to a decision.

Rodolfo Vieira VS Wellington Turman- Big man fight! Vieira is interesting fighter, and the grappling is out of this world, but the cardio is the only issue. Turman is an striker and if this goes to the mat, Vieira will take over. I see Turman needing to take this fight to the later rounds to take advantage of Vieira. Vieira though will start out explosive. I think Turman though can win this if he keeps it going.

Michael Morales VS Trevin Giles- Heavy hitters' fighters! Morales is coming in on 12-0 and last fight was great for him based on the wrestling he brought to the table. Giles is a solid all-around fighter who can do it all in the ring. He keeps fights close and that is what I like about him. I think Giles bounces back here in a huge way and the striking is better than Morales.

Matt Frevola VS Genaro Valdéz- Huge fight and will go to the distance. Frevola is coming off of two loses but ready to bounce back here. The boxing is there along with the grappling, but the striking defense is sketchy. Valdez is coming off of DWCS where he showed up in a huge way. The chin is there and has great defense where he does not give up. Frevola is going to want to wrestle which is great for him taking on the newcomer. Give me Frevola but Valdez is an extreme live dog based on his skill set.

Tony Gravely VS Saimon Oliveira- Not a bad fight. Gravely has been up and down these past fights. Gravely has a great wrestling background here. He just has not fought high level fighters. Saimon is coming into the UFC and looked good on DWCS. The style of his fighting is interesting to me. He is an all-around fighter who is a live underdog in this fight. I am giving Gravely the edge though to hold his own on the feet and shoot for the takedown more so.

Jasmine Jasudavicius VS Kay Hansen- Here we go with two fighters on the rise! Jasmine only has 7 fights, but Hansen is 10 years younger. Jasmine is coming off of DWCS, but the takedown defense is questionable. Hansen is amazing in the ring and the striking is well rounded, she is on the come up. Style wise I have to give this fight to Hanses keeping this fight on the feet and winning with power.

Raoni Barcelos VS Victor Henry- Bantam weight! Henry has fought in Japan, and this is his first UFC fight but has looked good in the outer scene. Barcelos though is a heck of a fighter and has looked amazing despite last fight, he did put up a good fight. Barcelos has great striking and grappling overall, he is just an older fighter, he needs to make this his fight. Henry isn't a bad fighter but Barcelos is amazing here to me.

Vanessa Demopoulos VS Silvana Gómez Juárez- Demopolas has been up and down, she has fought good competition though in which she lost her UFC debut. This is a step down in competition for her by far. She has good skills on the feet, but the weakness is the defense which does scare me. She needs this win so much. Juarez is coming off a loss in her UFC debut. She has decent pop on her hands, but nothing really shines her game. Vanesse needs this win and think she can do it.

Ilia Topuria VS Charles Jourdain- Great fight. Jourdain is in for a heavy fight that will be difficult. Topuria has been on a streak and man he has been on fire showing excellent skills. Jourdain is a great striker and shows upside, but this match is different. He is very technical and can gather himself in fights. Topuria is a better fighter and the guy who has way more power. Give me Topuria here with ease.

Jack Della Maddalena VS Pete Rodriguez- First fight in the Welterweight division! Jack is coming off a great win off of DWCS. He can switch stances at any moment and has overall excellent style. Rodriguez is only 4-0 which those are his only fights. He doesn't have a ton of experience and resume is not great. He does have power though and not bad of a boxer. I am on Jack more so here because of the level of competition here.
