Marnic Mann vs. Josefine Knutsson
A strawweight female fights to kick off the card. Knutsson is a massive favorite. Mann lost in DWCS 11 months ago but just won an LFA fight 4 months ago. Knutsson just won her DWCS fight. Mann is a wrestler and has a game on the ground. Knutsson has striking abilities with leg kicks. Knutsson has the skills to win this fight all the way around.
Charlie Campbell vs. Alex Reyes
A lightweight fight! Campbell is making his UFC debut and is the wide favorite. Reyes is coming off a 5-year layoff where he lost to Mike Perry via TKO. Campbell has decent striking and is accurate on the feet. Reyes is quick on the feet and mainly is a grappler. The long layoff worries me for Reyes coming into this fight. Campbell should win this fight and control the cage.
Tracy Cortez vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius
A good female flyweight fight. Cortez is coming off a winning streak where the last fight was a year ago. Jasmine is coming off of two wins. Cortez has massive grappling skills as well as Jasmine. This will be a fight on the ground by far. The striking is worrisome for Cortez but the defense of Jasmine on the feet isn't great. Cortez can win the grappling if she works Jasmine to the ground. I like Cortez by a hair.
Edgar Chairez vs. Daniel Lacerda
A flyweight fight! Chairez is the huge favorite and coming off a loss. Lacerda has lost four fights in a row. Chairez has a decent chin and the striking is volume boxing-based. Chairez has the power to knock down other fighters. Lacerda has powerful striking as well. This will be a striking-based fight. I like Chairez to avoid the knockout and win this fight.
Roman Kopylov vs. Josh Fremd
A middleweight fight! Roman is coming off of three wins and is the huge favorite. Fremd is coming off of two wins. Roman has rejuvenated his career in the past three fights. Roman has massive power. Fremd is decent on the feet and striking is his only weapon. Roman needs to work the cage and strike to win this fight. Roman should win this fight with ease.
Lupita Godinez vs. Elise Reed
A strawweight fight! Lupita is the massive favorite and coming off of two wins. Reed is coming off a win. Lupita is a physical fighter and will push the pace in this fight. Reed is quick on the feet and has decent power. Lupita is super inconsistent though in the cage which is scary to see. I am giving the edge to Godinez to win this fight.
Fernando Padilla vs. Kyle Nelson
A featherweight fight! Padilla is coming off his UFC Debut win and is the favorite. Nelson is coming off a win. Padilla is a boxer on the feet and has a length with his power. The wrestling isn't there for Padilla. Nelson is a veteran in the game and has massive power on the feet. Nelson will push the pace in the cage, which can also work for Padilla. I like Padilla overall.
Daniel Zellhuber vs. Christos Giagos
A lightweight fight. Zellhuber is coming off a win and is the favorite. Giagos is coming off a win as well. Zellhuber is nice on the feet with his striking. Zellhuber has the better skills overall. I can see Zullhuber working the cage and finding the neck of Giagos.
Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Terrence Mitchell
A bantamweight fight. Rosas is a young prospect who is 1-1 in the UFC with his last fight as a loss. Mitchell is coming off a loss as well. Rosas is the favorite in this fight. Raul is super fast on the feet and has power behind his striking. Mitchell is mainly a grappler and wrestler. Mitchell is quick on the feet and has leg kicks. Raul can come back in this fight and win this overall.
Kevin Holland vs. Jack Della Maddalena
The co-main event! This fight is a pick'em in odds as a welterweight fight. Holland is coming off two wins while Maddalena is on a winning streak. Jack is a nice fighter on the feet and is super accurate. Jack is good on the ground as well. This will be a battle overall. The striking can be there for Jack. Holland is accurate on the feet and has nice striking. I am all over Jack to handle business.
Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko
The main event for the flyweight female championship! Shevchenko is the slight favorite. Grasso holds the belt in which she submitted Shevchenko to earn the belt 6 months ago. Grasso is nice on the feet and has massive volume on the feet. Shevchenko is a legend in this weight class. Shevchenko is going to come into this fight with vengeance. The power she has is amazing and the grappling is fantastic. I like Grasso to control this fight and retain.
