UFC Vegas 29 Breakdown

Chan Sung Jung VS Dan Ige- The main event! Ige is an guy who is ready for war by far. Korean Zombie though is coming off an tough loss against Ortega and needs this win badly. His striking has looked good and that is the main strength for him. Ige has good power and can mix in the takedowns outta him for sure and underrated in that aspect. The durability is no issue for his at all. I think Ige the dynamite 50k winner can knock him out here In this close pick’em fight.

Aleksei Oleinik VS Sergey Spivak- Big boys! Oleinik is an pure grappler who is an gripped monster. The thing is though how old he is and he is on the downhill fight by fight. Spivak is an monster who is ready to go in the ring in which he is an great striker. Oleinik will want to get an hold of Spivak but Spivak should out work him. I am seeing Spivak out strike Oleinik here and can’t wait to see his potential.

Dhiego Lima VS Matt Brown- The brother is ready to go! Lima is not on the same spectrum as his brother. Lima is an good striker and likes to play it safe in the ring. Lima has the advantages in length and reach wise. Brown will want to close the distance with him and work the grappling here. The wrestling has been great for him but age is what worries me. On the flip side, he does have ground and pound here. I want to see Brown to use his striking and grappling to out work Lima in which I think he can but don’t count out Lima.

Wellington Turman VS Bruno Silva- Here we go! Turman has powerful hands and nasty in your face type of fighter. Silva is talented fighter and in the prime of his career who is ready to go. Silva is the better striker and her grappling is there. I think Silva wins his UFC debut here.

Marlon Vera VS Davey Grant- Rematch from 5 years ago but this fight is way way way different. Chitooooooo vs Daveyyyyy! Here we go! Grant is on an 3 fight win streak and the hand power he is finally realizing he has is showing up to the ring. No one really saw this coming outta him and I am loving it now. Chito though is the more skilled and explosive fighter. This is an huge step up for Grant which scares the heck outta me. I am taking Chito here to take care of business and out work Grant making his streak end.

Virna Jandiroba VS Kanako Murata- Talented Japanese fighter in Murata who has an well rounded game with striking and grappling. Jandiroba is an heck of an grappler in which that is her bread and butter. The striking just isn’t there for her at all. Jandiroba will try to pull off the sub here and if she can’t do it then Murata could sway the judges by out striking Jandiroba.

Josh Parisian VS Roque Martinez- Heavyweight division! Martinez is coming off of two loses and ready to bounce back here. Martinez is an technical fighter and should not be in this field. Parisian will be the bigger dude and have the advantages all around which will help him a ton by far. Parisian should take care of business in this fight overall and love him here.

Julian Erosa VS Seung Woo Choi- Great fight. Rosa has been on fire recently and the striking is great to me. I love the unorthodox striking stance out of him. Choi is coming off of two victories and has looked good. Erosa is constantly looking great and the upside I like out of him will carry him to the victory path here. I don’t mind taking a shot at him getting an TKO.

Lara Procópio VS Casey O'Neill- Not an bad fight. O’Neil is coming off an huge win and is an young rising talent on the rise in the UFC. Procopio is an grappler and it has showed a ton now. This will be an all out grappling match in which is why the betting lines are a pick’em. Casey has the slight reach advantage and think she has the more upside.

Nick Negumereanu VS Aleksa Camur- Negumereanu has been getting multiple finishes in fights other than last fight but this is an decent bounce back spot. We need to think about it though look at who he has fought and their records.…not great. He has great power but the feet work does scare me little bit. Camur didn’t look good last fight in which is scary to me. He looked out worked completely last fight in which was a let down to me. This is an interesting fight overall and think Nick takes over.

Joaquim Silva VS Ricky Glenn- Not an bad fight at all! Glenn is coming off an awful loss but other than that fight he has been up then down lately. Silva is all around the better athlete and better on the feet including his wrestling. I think this Is an easy fight for Silva here.

Matt Semelsberger VS Khaos Williams- Here we go! First fight of the card, Williams has been on a tear despite his last fight. Williams is in an good bounce back spot here to me. Semelsberger has looked decent and an tough fighter. He has slight power but not compared to Khaos. I think Williams is the better striker and should out strike early here.
