Jack Hermansson VS Sean Strickland- The Main event! We have the Joker verses a wild Sean. Strickland has been pulling huge victories, but this is a huge test for him. Strickland shows huge volume with his striking and continues to pound his opponents. On the feet, Sean puts in the work and continues to shine. Hermansson is going to want to keep this fight going and on the matt he can thrive. I think Sean goes out there and thrives here despite the tough test.
Pick- Strickland
Punahele Soriano VS Nick Maximov- The CO-Main event! Soriano is a massive power fighter with the striking and heck of a boxer. Maximov is a grappler, and the wrestling is in his favor. That is what he is going to shoot for, but the striking can be in Soriano's favor, but he tires out quickly. Soriano can clip Maximov with the massive power he has and go for the kill, I like the upside he can bring of course. It will just come down to the cardio in this fight. I think Maximov can avoid the punches though and shoot for the grappling exchange with a tired Soriano.
Pick- Slightly Max
Marc-André Barriault VS Chidi Njokuani- What a fight we have here. Andre has been putting in the work and on the come up, he has huge knockout ability. He has huge power and just going out to fight. Chidi has been around forever in the fight game, fighting in every scene you can think of. This is a huge fight for Chidi and I can't wait to see him fight here. What a fight and this will be close, I like Andre to handle business on the big UFC scene.
Pick- Andre
Jason Witt VS Philip Rowe- Good fight. Rowe has high knockout ability while on the mat, Witt is a warrior. The reach advantage of Rowe is heavily in his favor, but Witt can shoot for the takedown. This is going to be a mat vs feet battle. I like Rowe overall here to be the higher upside fighter.
Pick- Rowe
Danilo Marques VS Jailton Almeida- Not a bad fight. Almeida is coming from DWCS and making his debut here. He is a guy where he can grapple and has moments of upside in his fights. Marques is the more grappling fighter, and this is his main weapon in fights. On the feet, Marques gets exploited and that is where Almeida goes to war and wins this fight by far.
Pick- Almeida
Miles Johns VS John Castañeda- Coming out of the same cap as Peterson, Johns will come with the mentality of going to war in this fight. Castaneda has been putting in the work and no pushover. Johns is the far better striker and has the skills to win this fight. Castaneda will need to make John tired and slowdown in order to win this, but it is hard to not love Johns.
Pick- Johns slightly
Julian Erosa VS Steven Peterson- Great fight. Peterson is coming up in the ranks and making a name for himself. Peterson is a tough fighter and has good hands overall. Erosa is more of a patient distance fighter with great footwork. This fight is going to go back and forth where we need to watch the striking. The volume with power will be behind Peterson while it is the sniper punches out of Erosa. The thing is though on the mat, Erosa will shine more so than Peterson. I have to go with the more overall fighter in Erosa.
Pick-Erosa
Hakeem Dawodu VS Mike Trizano- What a tough loss for Hakeem, before that though he was rolling and had good striking moments overall. Hakeem has great power, and the takedown defense is getting there. Trizano though has 10 fights under his belt and getting older but has good wins. The offense is getting there but I like Hakeems offense a lot more. I think Hakeem should win this fight and roll through this fight.
Pick Hakeem but will have some of Trizano on the opposite end
Bryan Battle VS Tresean Gore- Ultimate fighter finale! Gore has huge striking aspect including the leg kicks, the power is there. Battle has looked good, and the volume is there for him, he has massive upside with the takedown defense plus striking. This is going to be a hell of a fight. This will be going back and forth on the feet. The longer this fight goes, Battle will pull through to win.
Pick- Battle
Malcolm Gordon VS Denys Bondar- Newcomer! Bondar is the new guy in the UFC and this fight is not bad for him. Gordon is a tough fighter and has shown a ton of heart. Bondar has a nice frame overall. Bondar though is better on the feet, and he should be able to finish Gordon there. The energy and physical game of Bondar will shine.
Pick- Bondar
Shavkat Rakhmonov VS Carlston Harris- Interesting fight. Rakhmonov is a heck of a fighter that has shown up. The grappling is there, and the jab is wild to me that is amazing. Harris though is no pushover that has looked good in the ring. On the feet, he is keeping it nice and slow with fast punches though. Rakhmonov though has the better punch and counter strike him with ease plus the grappling is there. I have to go with Rakhmonov.
Pick- Rakhmonov
Sam Alvey VS Brendan Allen- Both fighters are coming off loses. Allen is a heck of a fighter that has all the tools to win but the mental fighter in him is the issue. Allen needs this win to keep his career going. Alvey is a vet in the game in which he is all around a good fighter. Alvey is going to try to pressure you and use counter punches to try to win a decision. You have to love Allen with the power and the ability to clip Alvey.
Pick- Allen
Alexis Davis VS Julija Stoliarenko- First fight of the night and here we go! This is going to be a grappling matchup. Davis has looked good and the far more experienced fighter. Stoliarenko can look good, and the striking is all over the place. Davis has a good chin and keep the fight going in the later rounds. I like Davis overall here to win this fight with ease.
Pick- Davis
