Alexander Volkov VS Tom Aspinall- The Main Event! Heavyweight time! Aspinall is facing a big test now and has rose to the occasion. Aspinall has great movement and footwork in the cage based on his weight. The boxing and pop in Aspinall's hands. Volkov is a tough test and super striking fighter who massive power. Volkov dominated last fight and bounced back in a huge way. This is a great fight overall. Can Aspinall pass this test? I think he can and he is here!


Arnold Allen VS Dan Hooker- The CO Main Event! Super close fight. Allen is on fight win streak and has had some good fights. He can land good strikes and have pop in his hands. He is an overall good fighter in his skillset. Hooker has been in the fighting game awhile fighting the biggest names. Hooker is no pushover and can fight the top of the top fighters. I do like the boxing and reach on Hookers side. This is a big test for Allen against Hooker, and I think Allen can rise to the occasion.


Paddy Pimblet VS Rodrigo Vargas- Paddy is ready to go and the people pleaser! Paddy is coming off a huge win. Paddy is ready to go, and he has excellent striking. The heart is there for him, and the grappling is underrated to me. Vargas has only won 1 fight out of the 3.


Gunnar Nelson VS Takashi Sato- Here we go! Gunnar is back and is coming off two loses. It has been two years since he last fought but he has fought good fighters. Gunner is great on the mat and the grappling is amazing. Soto is coming off a loss and has looked good overall. Sato has not fought in over a year but has decent striking. I just love Gunnar here a lot more based on the overall fighting game.


Molly McCann VS Luana Carolina- Female fight! Close fight overall. Carolina will have a huge reach advantage. Luana is a decent striker which will be in her favor but there is no power behind them. McCann is more aggressive fighter and has massive durability. McCann has great striking and will be in her face, the boxing she can bring brings great power.


Jai Herbert vs Illa Topuria- Topuria has been on a tear, and this is a lightweight spot. Herbert is the taller fighter and has the better length in this fight. Topuria is no pushover and he will have massive power in this matchup. Herbert was on a two fight lose streak but got a win last fight. Topuria will try for the ground game and has massive knockout power. I don't see how Topuria has any issues in this fight.


Mike Grundy VS Makwan Amirkhani- Interesting fight and home country for Grundy. Grundy is coming off an awful loss. Grundy is a wrestler with no striking game, he is all grappling in his fights and that is what he shoots for. Makwan will be able to avoid the wrestling and be able to use his takedown defense. I think this is a bounce back spot for Makwan and love his upside. The resume does show 5 loses but it was against great opponents. I love the submission game from Makwan to combat Grundy on the ground.


Shamil Abdurakhimov VS Sergei Pavlovich- Shamil has been on a long layoff but is a good fighter overall. Sergei is coming off two wins now after his loss in his debut against Overeem. Sergei is a massive striker and has nice pop in his hands. Sergei has the massive reach advantage and worked on takedown defense. I do think Sergei can handle this fight and possibly get the knockout victory.


Nikita Krylov VS Paul Craig- So interesting fact from Craig, he said this is his last year of fighting which scares me on his mentality. Craig is a heck of a grappler that can out wrestle any fighter on any given day. Krylov is coming off a loss, but he is the overall better fighter in this matchup to me. Krylov has great striking and far ahead than Craig on striking. Krylov has been working on his grappling though. Style fight clash for sure. I do like Krylov overall here making progress in training.


Jack Shore VS Timur Valiev- Great fight overall. Shore is a wrestler and love all of his upside. Valiev is a fighter who will strike anyone and be super aggressive. Valiev is a highly touted prospect and in great shape. Shore can get anyone down on the mat, but Valiev has good takedown defense which scares me. I really like Valiev to push the pace and love his defense here. Give me Valiev.


Cody Durden vs Muhammad Mokaev- Interesting spot. Mokaev is a up and coming prospect. He is young and a very experienced amateur fighter. He is very accurate striker and has major confidence fighter. Durden has a good chin, and a good wrestler plus can box anyone. This is a closer fight compared to the betting odds. I do like Mokaev though to win this based on his skill set.


Elise Reed VS Cory McKenna- What a fight. McKenna is looking great as a prospect. Her family is mixed martial artists coaches. McKenna looked great on the mat in getting a great win on DWCS. She took out Kay Hansen in a great fight. Reed did not look good at all last fight. She looked out of place and that is what scares me. I do think McKenna can win this fight with ease.


Nathaniel Wood VS Vince Morales- Home Country fight for Wood which with the crowd, he will be more favored in my opinion to win. Wood is a grappler and love that offensive side of him. Morales is a striker and good boxer, but he is not fast with them. Morales has been in big loses that she should have won. I think Wood is the better fighter and leaps above Morales.
