UFC 283

Main Card!

Jamahal Hill vs Glover Teixeira

The main event title fight! Glover is coming up in the age column and has looked good in every single fight despite him being 43 years old. Hill is the favorite here. Glover has great striking and good on-the-ground games too. I know the age is there but Glover is looking great at his age. Glover is always a underdog and comes through so I think he can win this here. Glover is just going to have to avoid the powerful striking of Hill. I don't see Glover getting knocked out which that's Hills main move. I am taking the old man Glover here to win this!

Deiveson Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno

The Co-Main event title fight! This fight is going to be explosive with drama. This going to be the fourth fight they had against each other. This fight is a pick 'em fight. Moreno is the younger fighter and I am worried about Fig making the weight cut healthy. Fig has had issues making the weight cut a dozen times. I like Moreno to win this and get the belt back. I just don't trust the health of Fig but these guys are so evenly matched.

Gilbert Burns vs Neil Magny

This is going to be a great fight. Magny is a sniper on the feet and has fantastic accuracy with power behind his volume striking. Burns though is the massive favorite. Burns has fought the best of the best compared to Magny. Burns has skills on the ground and can takedown Magny in any way possible. Burns can throw Magny to the bottom left and right. I am liking Burns here to ragdoll Magny on the ground and find a path to victory.

Jessica Andrade vs Lauren Murphy

Female fight! Andrade is the favorite by a mile. Andrade has some losses on her resume but has lost to amazing fighters. Murphy has not fought the best of the best fighters compared to Andrade. I just trust Andrade here easily. Murphy is decent all around. Andrade should have her way here and shoot for takedowns. Give me Andrade to handle business plain and simple.

Johnny Walker vs Paul Craig

The first right on the main card! Craig is a submission machine. Walker is the favorite coming into this fight. Walker can knock out Craig and has massive bomb shells with his hands. I don't trust Craig on the feet and especially against Walker. I don't think Craig can take down Walker. I am liking Walker to handle business and avoid submission skills of Craig.

Prelims!

Ihor Potieria vs Mauricio Rua

This is a rather interesting fight. Rua is the older fighter and probably going to retire after this fight. Rua is going to want to win and certainly should. Ihor has fought lower-level fighters and just hasn't looked great. Rua is not the greatest but is a legend in the UFC. Rua can wrestle Ihor easily and find a finish rather quickly. Rua should win this but man this is ugly.

Gregory Rodrigues vs Brunno Ferreira

Ferreira is coming in on short notice and making his UFC debut. Ferreira has won his fights in quick fashion and the striking has looked good. Rodrigues is also good on the feet and has amazing grappling. I don't think Ferreira can take down Rodrigues's which is why I am loving Rodrigues. Gregory can earn this win with ease and push Brunno rather quickly.

Thiago Moises vs Melquizael Costa

Costa is making his debut in this fight. Moises is a favorite by a widespread. Costa has decent striking but other than that there's not much working for him. Moises will shoot for the takedown and Costa has zero takedown defense: I am liking Moises to find the finish on the ground.

Gabriel Bonfim vs Mounir Lazzez

The brother of Ismael and we have a family fight card! Bonfim is the favorite here. Bonfim has been on a tear and no joke. Bonfim is an all-around good fighter and has power. Bonfim though also is great on the ground where he will look for a finish. Bonfim can beat Lazzez if he avoids the accurate striking from Lazzez. I am liking Bonfim to woke up around Lazzez and find a win.

Jailton Almeida vs Shamil Abdurakhimov

Almeida is big facorite here. This fight has been rebooked multiple times. Shamil is in a horrible matchup and has been fed to the dogs in his recent fights. Almeida can get Shamil down and out grapple Shamil easily. Almeida will have his way against Shamil.

Terrance McKinney vs Ismael Bonfim

McKinney was the name to talk about last year and had massive wins. McKinney has power and the fans love him with his finishing style. McKinney is the favorite coming into this fight. Bonfim is good on the ground and has good takedown defense. McKinney is going to come aggressive and look for a finish quickly. I am liking McKinney who is a dangerous fighter and will throw bombs.

Nicolas Dalby vs Warlley Alves

Not a bad fight on paper. The odds have moved all over the place. Alves is the favorite so far. Alves is inconsistent and hard to trust. Alves should win this but we don't know which version of Alves we get. If Alves has the power and is aggressive through all the rounds, he can win this fight. Alves has the grappling and power advantage. Dalby though has the cardio upside. I am on Alves but this is super sketchy overall.

Josiane Nunes vs Zarah Fairn

Female fight! Both of these fighters are coming up in age in this fight. Nunes is a massive favorite. Fairn doesn't stand a chance in this and can get finished with ease by Nunes. Fairn is not great on the feet and has horrible takedown defense. Nunes will be aggressive and push the pace with powerful striking. Nunes for the win.

Cody Stamann vs Luan Lacerda

Stamnann is coming in as a huge favorite. I don't trust Lacerda here in this fight. The grappling is great for Lacerda but that is the only thing working for him in this fight. Seaman has fought the best of the best in the UFC. Stamann can handle this fight for me and win this.

Saimon Oliveira vs Daniel Marcos

The first fight of the night! Saimon is coming in as the favorite. Marcos has a decent striking but the takedown defense is what worries me. Saimon is a good grappler and he will shoot for the submission a ton. Marcos can on the opposite side shoot for the takedowns and can put grapple Marcos. That is the key point for me. I am liking Marcos here in the first fight as an underdog.
