UFC Vegas 25 DFS Breakdown

Prochazka vs Reyes- The main event and here we go! Smith is for sure all over the place. Prochazka is wild and super aggressive going into this fight. Smith with the chin is questionable to me which is scary. Prochazka goes out and swings for the fences. Reyes has to survive the first round in order to stay in this fight. We just don't know which Reyes we are getting. I trust Prochazka more though.

Chikadze vs Swanson- CO- Main and here we go. Swanson is the vet and has an ton of experience in which the ground game is his. Giga has had easy wins and that is what scares me here by far. I think Swanson can come in here and overtake Giga here. I would not be surprised if he does. At the same time, Giga can pick him apart of Cub doesn't take this fight to the ground. Cub is for sure an underdog here.

​ Cutelaba vs Jacoby- Man what a comeback Jacoby has made. Ion is an wrestler but he never uses it in which he goes out just swinging wild. Jacoby is an interesting fighter overall. Ion throws rocks and the grappling is there but I like him here. When the game plan is there, he can get it done. The cardio isn't there but neither is Jacoby's cardio. Ion can take over this fight and the strength for him to win is there.

Strickland vs Jotko- Here we go. Strickland has came back and looked good overall. Strickland has great takedown defense and that is huge for him. Strickland has trained for this and is showing up looking well. Jotko is on the downfall which scares me and things are slowing down. Jotko doesn't have striking and the grappling is the game for him which is an recipe for failure. I think this is Strickland's fight to win.

​ Dvalishvili vs Stamman- This is an huge fight I am looking forward to. Merab is an takedown machine where the fight is mainly for him. The thing is though what if he can't get those takedowns in which Stamman is carrying good takedown defense. Both of these guys are decisions fighters. This fight is going to be on the feet and that is key. Is the striking there for Merab...? Merab also doesn't have Sterling the main training partner for him. For me, I think this is an dog fight for Stamann to win if he can stuff the takedowns and out-strike Merab. This is an interesting and again I love this fight. Don’t forget though, Stamman brother before the last fight committed suicide and Stamman just mentally wasnt there. Now he is fighting for his brother and the fire is there for him. Give me Cody.

Boetlho vs Carolina- Female fight! Boetlho is the huge favorite. I think she gets the fight here with ease. Boeltho has made a ton of improvments. She has a ton of volume but the striking is meh. Boeltho though with Colby man oh man she has been training with. She’s hungry to win and those heavy hand showing flashed of greatness. She has looked good overall and just out classes Carolina. Give me Boetlho.

Pinheiro vs Markos- Female fight! This is an step up for Pinheiro and looked good from DWCS. I think if Markos loses this maybe her last fight in the UFC. I think Pinheiro has good striking and showed up for sure from DWCS. Markos is just slowing down and the wrestling plus takedown isn't there. Pinheiro I think looks great coming into her debut!

Benitez vs Pearce- Not an bad fight. Pearce was in an fight last fight that there was no way he was winning. Pearce though is an fighter who grinds and durable as can be. I am just moving on from last fight overall. Benitez leg kicks dang they are there. He has huge leg kicks by far. Striking will be the big deal here in this fight. I just think the striking gets there for Benitez.

Kamaka vs Brown- Interesting fight. Brown has awful cardio and is an guy who wants the fighters to the ground. After the first round, Brown just goes downhill fast which is an awful look. He is an wrestler and thats all his game is. Kamaka hasn't looked great and I am not liking what I am seeing from. This fight just isn't one of my favorites at all. I think Brown can win this and this fight is basically win or go home for him.

Lookboonmee vs Hughes- Female fight! Hughes is hard to get back from and last fight man she didn't look good in which she just pretty much gave up. Lookboon will come in and want to win. Hughes is just an no go to me. Lookboon has good striking and the grappling she has worked on. Give me all of Lookboon here who should push Hughes to the end.

​ Michailidis vs Bhullar- On this fight, Bhullar has ring IQ for sure while Mich is physically there. The thing is though Bhullar has no chin in which he can get clipped a ton. Bhullar came from an layoff from 2013 to 2018 which is just not in his favor. He didn't look good coming into this fight as his 2nd one and he has no upside. I don't understand him and he overthinks so much that the ring IQ over takes him. He is just alarming me to me. Mich has the black belt and an great grappler also.I just think overall the game is there for him.

Sanders vs Colares- First fight, here we go.This can go well here. Sanders has the game to win but the mentality needs to be in check. He looks good then just falls over a cliff but I think this fight is there for him. He SHOULD win this fight with ease. The takedown defense is not there for him which Felipe needs to take advantage of. Sanders though on the flipside can go off and clip Colares.
