UFC Fight Night Giga Chikadze VS Calvin Kattar

Undercard

Vanesse Demopolas vs Silvana Gomez Juarez - First fight in the straw weight division! 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.

Brian Kelleher vs Kevin Croom- New matchup! Croom is coming on short notice but wants to fight. Kelleher is going for the sub with ease which does scare me for Croom. Kelleher has the power to win this fight.

Dakota Bush vs Viacheslav Borschchev- Next fight up and here we go! Borschev is coming from DWCS and getting his shot now. He has great hands with the striking and can throw major power. The wrestling is getting worked on but still looks great. Bush has not looked great at all especially with the competition he has fought. The gas tank is awful on his part in which it will be exposed. He does have some grappling though. Borschev should strike Bush to pieces.

TJ Brown vs Charles Rosa- Interesting fight. Brown is coming off a win and looked good last fight but overall, his fight IQ is questionable. He has good wrestling that is underrated. Rosa is coming in on 4 days notice and he has a chance to win this. Rosa can stick with the wrestling and stay in this fight. Rosa by sub? I think yes!

Court McGee vs Ramiz Brahimaj- I like this fight overall despite the fight IQ of both fighters. Both fighters are coming off wins. Ramiz has good grappling and for sure made a ton of progress in his 2nd fight compared to first. Ramiz came out and went to wrestle which he pulled off the win with ease. Court is going to want to grapple and push the pace as fast as possible. Court wants to get you to the ground faster than anyone which this is a huge wrestling match. I do like the underdog in Ramiz though because he is faster on the feet and should take him down faster.

Jamie Pickett vs Joseph Holmes- Here we go. Holmes is coming out of DWCS and making his debut. Pickett has power in his hands and seems to fight lower competition because in the big moments he loses in. Holmes is working on a ton of things and making his way up trying to grow. I don't trust Pickett to be honest at all. Holmes will be motivated and wanting to win here. Give me Holmes to win this fight.

Main Card

Joanderson Brito vs Bill Algeo- Main card and I can't wait! Brito looked good on DWCS and making his debut. He has great hands that are quick and powerful. This guy can finish fights in the first round. Bill Algeo has some concerns from me including his cardio in which he gasses out. He is good with the wrestling though and that is his best path to victory. Brito is going to come in and want to knock the head off of Algeo. I like Brito here compared to Bill, he is ready to go, and this is his fight to win.

Chase Sherman vs Jake Collier- Heavyweight time! Sherman is on a two-fight losing streak and comes in out of shape by far. Collier on the other side has been super up and down. Collier can keep the fight going but has been inconsistent. Collier though should be able to tag Sherman. I like Collier on the feet and has big time better cardio in this fight. I am taking Collier by a mile here.

Brandon Royval vs Rogerio Bontorin- Great fight here. Royval is coming off a two-fight losing streak but those are some tough loses. Royval does not give up fights and goes out extremely motivated. He has great grappling, and the striking is there. Bontorin is a well-rounded fighter that stays patient in the ring, which is a bad thing in this fight, Royval will have much more volume in this fight. I love Royval here in this fight.

Katlyn Chookagian vs Jennifer Mai- Rematch time. Chookagian is continuing to win and on a two-fight win streak. She is working on the wrestling, and it is making a difference. The striking aspect has looked great overall. She is going to come out with volume by far. Mai though has good power and needs to get in the face of Chookagian. I have to go with Chookagian and handle business especially because I don't trust Mai.

Calvin Kattar vs Giga Chikadze- The Main event time! This is a big fight for Calvin facing off against Giga who is on fire right now. Giga has crushed higher touted fighters and not looking back. Calvin though has a ton of cardio and heart in which he never gives up in fights. Calvin has great hands and doesn't mind using the kicks with power. This is going to be a heavy striking battle between the two. I really like Calvin here and taking a chance on him.
