Max Holloway vs. Arnold Allen: Featherweight

The main event! Allen has been the golden boy coming off a winning streak. Max is coming off a decision loss wanting to get back into the win column. The striking as we all know is excellent from Max. Allen has big wins and that is another step up in competition. His boxing is amazing Max and he will try to land a flurry of punches. Allen has the power and knockout potential based on the damage Max has taken. I am liking Max to win this and to avoid the power from Allen. The striking is the edge for Max.


Edson Barboza vs. Billy Quarantillo: Featherweight

The co- main event! Billy is coming off a knockout win while Edson is coming off two losses. Edson is the veteran in the game and Billy is a promising fighter wanting to jump up in the ranks. Billy is going to push the pace and wants to work his striking aspect to win this fight. Edson will have to avoid the jump up in pace from Billy. The grappling isn't bad for Billy, and I like him overall.


Dustin Jacoby vs. Azamat Murzakanov: Light Heavyweight

What a story for Jacoby rejuvenating his career. Despite Jacoby losing his last fight, the striking has been on point. Azamat has looked fantastic coming off of three wins including his win on DWCS. Azamat has finishing ability and excellent power on the feet. This is going to be a battle on the feet. The pace will be the most important part of this fight on who can land the pin point strikes. I am liking Jacoby to squeak by a win.


Ion Cutelaba vs. Tanner Boser: Light Heavyweight

Big boys fight! Cutelaba is coming off three losses and his last one was a knockout loss. Boser is coming off a decision loss. Both of these fighters are needing to get back into the win column. Cutelaba has been all over the place overall. Boser physically is looking great and can push the pace in this fight. Cutelaba worries me in this fight where Boser can handle this fight. I am loving Boser here to handle business.


Pedro Munhoz vs. Chris Gutierrez: Bantamweight

This will be a banger of a fight. This is a step up in competition against Munhoz for Gutierrez. Munhoz is coming off no-contest and two losses. Munhoz has excellent submission skills and can tap anyone. Guiterrez is great on the feet and striking. Gutierrez is coming off a win steak and Munhoz is bound to get hit which worries me. Gutierrez has the skills to win on the feet where he is super composed at.


Clay Guida vs. Rafa García: Lightweight

The longtime gatekeeper of the UFC in Guida coming off a decision win. Guida has had 60 pro-fights and is a veteran. Garcia is the younger fighter of course and should win this fight. Garcia is no pushover and coming off a win. Garcia is 13 years younger and the youth of Garcia should help push him for a win.


TJ Brown vs. Bill Algeo: Featherweight

Algeo is going to want to bounce back with a win. Brown is a wrestler in the cage and coming off a submission win. Algeo has the leg kicks in his arsenal to push off Brown. Algeo is an excellent striker compared to Brown with his grappling. I am liking Algeo to avoid everything coming his way from Brown.


Brandon Royval vs. Matheus Nicolau: Flyweight

This is going to be a battle. Both of these fighters are coming off a win over Schnell while Nicolau earned the knockout win and Royval earned the submission win. Nicolau has excellent striking. Royval is scrappy in all formats on the mat and standing. Nicolau should be able to hang tough against Royval. I am liking Nicolau in this fight to be more composed and earn a gritty win.


Ed Herman vs. Zak Cummings: Light Heavyweight

What an interesting fight. Herman is the veteran in the cage and coming off a decision loss. Cummings hasn't fought in little over two and half years while fighting out of the hometown in the cage. Both of these fighters are coming up in age. Cummings was a former middleweight and now bumping up in weight classes. Herman didn't look fantastic last fight and was standing tough in the cage avoiding a finish. Cummings I believe can win this fight but it's a sloppy fight overall.


Piera Rodriguez vs. Gillian Robertson: Strawweight

Gillian is a great grappler and it's showing based on her past fight earning a submission win. Piera is coming off three wins including her win on DWCS. Piera is the real deal and I think can avoid Gillian's takedowns where Piera can exploit the striking of Gillian's also. Piera has the tools to win this fight.


Lando Vannata vs. Daniel Zellhuber: Lightweight

Not a bad fight. Zellhuber is looking to bounce back after losing his UFC debut. Vannata is a UFC vet and coming off a loss. Vannata is hungry and wants a win. I am liking Vannata to come into this wanting to handle business. I am not understanding the odds here and I am all over Vannata.



Bruna Brasil vs. Denise Gomes: Strawweight

Both of these fighters are coming off DWCS. Brasil is coming off a massive knockout win that was spectacular. The striking is for sure something to look at for Brasíl. Gomes didn't look great in her first UFC fight. The takedowns didn't look great from Gomes at all. I am loving Brasil here in this fight.


Gaston Bolaños vs. Aaron Phillips: Bantamweight

The second fight of the night. Bolanos is making his UFC debut. Phillips has been super inconsistent in the UFC. Phillips hasn't fought since 2020. Bolanos is an excellent striker and has great skills on the feet. Bolanos has fought on Bellator and has massive knockout potential. Phillips will try to shoot for the takedowns and that is his only pathway to victory. Phillips was all over the place in his career, to begin with. I am liking Bolanos to get a UFC debut win here.



Joselyne Edwards vs. Lucie Pudilová: (W) Bantamweight

The first fight of the night! Pudilova is back in the UFC after losing her first four fights. Pudilova is back now from the Czech Republic in her stint there. Edwards has a decent striking output and is good on the feet. Pudilova will shoot for the takedowns and the worrisome part is Edwards's takedown defense. This is going to be a striking battle though. I am liking Pudilova who has worked on all her skills base.
