UFC 276 Fight Breakdown

Jessica-Rose Clark vs Julija Stoliarenko- First fight of the night! Both fighters are coming off a loss. Clark is a grappler and wants to grapple with you pushing the pace. Clark is a fighter who likes to get you to the cage. Stoliarnenko is a grappler also and a okay striker. Clark can get subbed here and that is what worries me. On the opposite side though, Clark can push Stoliarenko down to the mat and sub her. This can be back and forth to be honest. Give me Clark here.

Pick- Clark

Brad Tavares vs Dricus Du Plessis- This is going to be a banger! Plessis is a well rounded fighter and has the takedown defense in his corner, the power is not bad at all that he brings to the table. Plessis has fought decent fighters and resume is not bad. The knockout punch Plessis brings scares me for Tavares with his chin. Tavares is coming off a win and looked decent as the vet. I like Plessis more so here with the power and volume.

Pick- Plessis

Jessica Eye vs Maycee Barber- Not a bad fight at all, Barber is a young prospect that has been putting in the work. Barber is a excellent grappler and has the striking volume for sure. Eye is on a three fight losing streak which is scary, but the losses are not the worst. I am liking Barber active on the feet and to pull off a win.

Pick- Barber

Uriah Hall vs Andre Muniz- Good fight for sure. Muniz is a grappler and one of the best in the business with grappling. Hall is a striker and has the knockout power every fight. Hall is super all over the place and hard to trust overall. Muniz has been on a hot streak and the game is there for him with the striking. Give me Muniz to earn another win.

Pick- Muniz

Jim Miller vs Donald Cerrone 2- The rematch we all wanted! Both fighters are coming to the end of their potential hall of fame careers. Cerrone based on the last fight was not the best performance from Cerrone which is scary. Miller has all the tools to win this and on the feet he can knockout Cerrone. I am taking Miller here.

Pick- Miller

Ian Garry vs Gabe Green- Both fighters are coming off wins here. Garry is coming off of two wins where he looked decent but not super impressive. Green has looked great and a volume fighter who is very active in the cage. Green pushes the pace and will show the striking upside he brings. This fight is a dog or pass for me.

Pick- Green

Robbie Lawler vs Bryan Barberena- Both fighters are coming off a win. Barberena has looked better than expectations were given to him at first. The chin has looked good and the striking is not bad at all, but the losses are worrisome cardio wise. Lawler has the boxing aspects in his corner and can push the pace, the leg kicks are working for him also. Lawler has the better cardio and faster hands to me. Give me Lawler to exploit the striking defense of Barberena.

Pick- Lawler

Brad Riddell vs Jalin Turner- Striking battle! Turner is coming off a good win while Riddell is coming off a loss. Both fighters have excellent wins though on their resume. This fight is going to be a good clash. Turner has the height and reach advantage in his favor. What I like is the leg kicks Turner will bring to the table. Riddell has the power in his favor and defense of Turner is sketchy to me. This is a super close fight on paper. I like Turner but this fight can go Riddell's way also.

Pick- Turner

Pedro Munhoz vs Sean O’Malley- Suga Suga Suga! Sean is a fighter who can strike you from any direction possible. Munhoz is a underrated fighter and the striking is there for him. Munhoz has the leg kicks and will try to push the pace or get Suga down the mat. This is a step up in competition for Suga. The injuries is what is interesting for Suga who Munhoz can work that with the leg kicks. I do like Sean though more so.

Pick- Sean

Sean Strickland vs Alex Pereira- What a fight. This is a super close fight to me. Strickland is a striker but so is Pereira who has all the style of striking in his corner. This is going to be a striking battle back and forth. Strickland will need to get this to the ground where he will have the advantage, but Pereira I think can handle this fight and win this.

Pick- Pereira

Alexander Volkanovski vs Max Holloway 3- The CO-Main Event! Round 3! Volk is the favorite coming into this fight based on betting odds. Volk has been putting in the work with his game and looked amazing in recent form. This fight can go back and forth. This is just a good fan fight to watch. I like Volk here but the betting line for Holloway is crazy to me improving his game in multiple ways. Man, this fight is good but I am liking Volk 51/49 haha.

Pick- Both? Haha!

Israel Adesanya vs Jared Cannonier- The Main Event! Israel is coming into as the heavy favorite betting odds wise. Cannonier has been in multiple divisions and now working in the middle weight. The power that Cannonier brings is great to see. Israel is going to try to avoid the power and work around it. Israel can be fast on the feet and move around Cannonier. I like Israel to work his style and cruise to a win.

Pick- Israel
