UFC Vegas 61

Mackenzie Dern VS Xiaonan Yan

The Main Event! Dern is a grappler while Yan is the striker. This is going to be a huge clash of styles in this fight. Dern can certainly shoot for the takedown exploiting Yan's lack of self-defense. Yan has good wins on her record but the takedown defense that scares me. Yan is going to want to keep this fight on the feet and explode with striking. I am liking Dern to earn this win on the mat ending this in submission win.

Randy Brown VS Francisco Trinaldo

The CO-Main Event! Trinaldo is a physical specimen that still looks amazing. Trinaldo is coming up in age but still looks in his prime. Brown is no pushover at all and on a win streak of his own. I am liking Brown to keep this fight close enough to earn a decsion.

Raoni Barcelos VS Trevin Jones

Barcelos is good on the feet and has quick hands despite him coming off of two losses. Barcelos is just hard to trust coming into this fight while Jones is a prospect on the come up. Jones is live to clip Barcelos any moment in time. This fight is closer than the odds appear to be honest.

Sodiq Yusuff VS Don Shainis

Yusuff should pile through this matchup. Shainis is making his UFC debut facing a tough opponent in Yusuff. Short and sweet. Yusuff.

John Castañeda VS Daniel Santos

This is an interesting fight. Santos is coming off a bad loss where he looked all over the place. Castaneda is the much better fighter in all calibers. Santos I don't think will be able to out class Castaneda on the feet. Castaneda all around has the tools to win this fight.

Mike Davis VS Viacheslav Borshchev

Interesting fight. Davis is coming off a win while Borshcev is coming off a loss. Davis is decent all around with the grappling and striking. Last fight scares me for Borschev who struggled on the ground where Davis can capitalize in a huge way. I am really liking the price tag on Davis.

Aleksei Oleinik VS Ilir Latifi

The legend is back in the cage! Oleinik has been in the cage forever and still getting a submission win last fight. Latifi is a physical size down compared to other fighters in this division. Oleinik can certainly win this fight and pull off a submission at any moment in time. I don't trust Latifi at all.

Jessica Penne VS Tabatha Ricci

Female fight! Ricci is coming off of two wins and has looked great the past two fights. Ricci is great on the feet and good on the ground, her game overall is fighting caliber. Penne is coming off a loss and has been all over the place recently. I am really liking Ricci is on the come up and ready to fight showing how well she has looked.

Joaquim Silva VS Jesse Ronson

Ronson is coming in trying to make his comeback win. Silva is on a two-fight losing streak and it has been a year since he fought. Ronson is trying to find a win after losing back in April making his comeback. Silva is a grappler and better on the ground compared to Ronson. The striking will be a battle though back and forth. I am on Silva here to get the job done in a huge way.

Brendan Allen VS Krzysztof Jotko

This fight is close! This fight has GPP all over it! Allen is coming in at $7,900 on DraftKings. The grappling is in Allen's favor but the pace is not fast at all in the cage. Jotko should be able to control this fight in his favor which is what I am loving. Jotko has the edge in striking and I think is better at the grappling compared to Allen. Give me Jotko.

Maxim Grishin VS Philipe Lins

This will be a banger. Lins is dropping down a weight class and physically ready to go. Grishin has the more fights under his belt. Grishin can capitalize on the mistakes Lins makes. I am liking Grishin here to push the pace even though Lins can pop Grishin also. I am liking Grishin to control the fight and move it in his favor later on down the fight. I am liking Grishin here.

Julija Stoliarenko VS Chelsea Chandler

This fight is going to be close. Chandler is going to make her UFC debut. Chandler is not the best on the feet and that worries me. Julija is not great on the feet either, but I like her more there. The ground game is pushing me towards Julija.

Randy Costa VS Guido Cannetti

Good first fight. Guido though is up in age but still physically fit. Guido does not have very many pro fights though. Costa is on the rise, and this is a fight to show his abilities coming off of two losses. Costa is decent on the feet and has speed in the cage. Costa is needing a win badly and this Is where he can get that win.
