Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs. Jailton Almeida
The Main Event! Almeida is a massive favorite in this fight and the public believes he can handle this with ease. Almeida is on a winning streak and has been a monster. Rozenstruik found a quick knockout win last fight which was amazing for him to win that fight. Rozenstruik is mainly a striker in which he will not shoot for takedowns. Almeida will shoot for the takedowns and look for a submission. Don't count out Rozenstruik though in the first 30 seconds for a knockout!
Anthony Smith vs. Johnny Walker
The CO-Main Event! The odds appear to be pretty even in this fight which makes it great to break down! Smith is coming off a knockout loss while Walker is on a two-fight winning streak. Smith is nice on the feet and has okay wrestling on the ground. Walker is quick on the feet and will push the pace in multiple formats in this fight. I am liking Walker to find more pathways to win this fight.
Ian Machado Garry vs. Daniel Rodriguez
Garry is undefeated and the UFC is ready for him to skyrocket in the business. Rodriguez is a wrecking force but is coming off a submission loss 6 months ago. Rodriguez is good on the feet and has boxing skills overall. Rodriguez worries me with his takedown defense. Garry has massive power on the feet. Garry is fast on his feet and can handle business on his feet. This will be a battle on the feet in which I am slightly leaning towards Garry.
Tim Means vs. Alex Morono
This has the makings to be a fun fight to watch. Means is a dog in the UFC meaning he always will step up to a fight. Means is coming off two losses and is the slight underdog. Morono is coming off a knockout loss and looking to bounce back here in the win column. Means is a striker and has decent takedowns on the feet. Means will push the pace and is aggressive in the cage. Morono is good in all formats in the cage. Morono is a tough customer but is coming off a knockout loss. Means is no pushover in this fight and I think he can keep this fight closer than the odds appear.
Ihor Potieria vs. Carlos Ulberg
What a banger! Ulberg is a on winning streak and looks to be the massive favorite. Ihor is coming off a win also. This is going to be a striking battle overall. Ulberg is a kickboxer and is great on the feet. Ulberg can pinpoint his output and I am liking him on the feet to handle this fight. Ulberg just needs to avoid the knockout power of Ihor. I am all over Ulberg though with his skill base.
Karl Williams vs Chase Sherman
Big boy fight! Karl is the massive favorite and this fight is a rebook now. Karl has big power and can pinpoint the punch easily. Karl is good on the feet and the wrestling is something to talk about also. Sherman has decent cardio and the takedown defense isn't bad along with the striking. Sherman can be punched though and Karl can tee off on him easily.
Bryan Battle vs. Gabe Green
This fight is a nice fight overall. Battle will be in his hometown for this fight. Green will push the pace and Battle will try to combat that. Battle is good on the feet and will want to bounce back in this fight after a loss. Green has knockout power and is good on the submission side. I am thinking this is a close fight. I like Battle to bounce back and come back in a huge way.
Natan Levy vs. Pete Rodriguez
This fight is now moved to this card. Levy is a monster of a grappler and will push for the wrestling. Rodriguez is the striker and the grappling defense worries me. Both fighters are coming off a win. I am liking Levy here based on the wrestling to handle business and to handle this fight with ease.
Matt Brown vs. Court McGee
Battle of the old guys huh! Both of these fighters are veterans of the game. Brown is coming off a loss a year ago while McGee is coming off a loss 8 months ago. Brown doesn't have a defense but has an okay takedown offense. McGee will push the pace and is okay all the way around. McGee is the guy I like who I think has the better grappling and I think by a hair he has the advantage.
Douglas Silva de Andrade vs. Cody Stamann
This is a super close fight on paper. After coming off a losing streak, Stamann has bounced back with two wins. Andrade is coming off a decision loss 8 months ago. Stamann has good wrestling and his boxing output is nice on the feet. Stamann is overall not a bad fighter at all. Andrade will have to push the pace which that is how Stamnann breaks. Andrade is good on the street where he has power on there. Andrade is the veteran compared to Stamann. I am liking Stamann though to avoid the power of Andrade.
Jessica-Rose Clark vs. Tainara Lisboa
Lisboa is making her UFC debut in this fight. Clark is coming off two submission losses and her arm was broken during the last fight. Lisboa is wild on the feet and mainly a fighter on the feet. Clark is good at the takedown offense though and decent on the feet. I like Lisboa though to handle this fight and I don't trust Clark in this fight especially coming off a broken arm 10 months ago. The striking should come through for Lisboa.
Mandy Bohm vs. Ji Yeon Kim
This is the battle of both fighters coming off losses. Bohm is coming off two decision losses while Kin is coming off of 4 decision losses. Someone needs a win here and it is needed badly. Kim is the heavy favorite and the striking is her weapon. The takedown defense though worries for Kim. Bohm is an all-around decent fighter. This is a close fight that will be the battle of the loser.
