Tatsuro Taira VS Jesus Aguilar
The first fight of the night and both fighters are new to the UFC. Taira has looked great in the cage and is a prospect that is working his way up. Aguilar is okay on the ground. Taira is the much better striker on the feet too. I am expecting Taira to handle business in all formats.
Jun Yong Park VS Denis Tiuliulin
Denis is coming off a great win and has power in the cage. Denis is aggressive and this fight will be hard for him. Park has skills on the feet and can outclass Denis. Park is the fighter I am liking more overall and should have no problems with Denis.
Ji Yeon Kim VS Mandy Böhm
Bohm is on a two-fight losing streak and a heavy underdog coming into this fight. Kim is on a four-fight losing streak, but the fighters Kim has fought are much better than Bohm's resume. Kim should do whatever she wants in the cage and have no issues.
Hyun Sung Park VS Seung Guk Choi
Park has decent finishes on his resume and has looked good overall in the cage. Choi will push the pace and win decisions overall. This is for sure a clash of styles in this fight. I am liking Park to work his way in the cage as the heavy favorite. I am expecting Park to finish Choi.
Rinya Nakamura VS Toshiomi Kazama
Nakamura has looked great in the wrestling aspect and can work his way on the ground. Nakamura is a finishing machine and can rip takedowns quickly. Kazama is decent on the feet but is also good on the ground. This will be a battle on the mat. I am liking Nakamura in a closer fight than the odds appear.
Zha Yi VS Jeong Yeong Lee
Yi has looked great in the past couple of fights. Lee is no push over, though and can hang in with Yi. I am liking this fight overall. I think Lee can pull off this fight as the favorite. Short and sweet.
Anshul Jubli VS Jeka Saragih
This is a close fight overall. Jeka is all-around good fighter. Jeka has decent grappling and can work the ground while looking good on the striking aspect. Jubli is not a bad fighter and has decent wins. I am liking the underdog though in Jeka to get the job done.
Main Card!
Yusaku Kinoshita VS Adam Fugitt
I am loving this fight in all formats. Fugitt lost his UFC debut and will look to bounce back hugely. Fugitt has massive finishing potential in the cage and power. Fugitt has underdog odds but can bring the fight to Yusaku. The odds are closer than they show on paper. Yusaku is an up-and-coming prospect. Yusaku has finishing ability also in the cage. This fight is going to bring the heat. I am liking Yusaku though who I think can barely scrape by, not counting out Fugitt.
Doo Ho Choi VS Kyle Nelson
Choi is coming off three losses but is making his way back to the cage from a 3-year absence. Before those three losses, he was bringing the heat and was a great striker. Nelson is coming off two losses and he was all over the place in the cage. I think Choi will bounce back ready to fight.
Marcin Tybura VS Blagoy Ivanov
Heavyweight fight! Tybura has looked good recently and has improved in multiple ways. The striking and physicality of Tybura are set. Ivanov has come a long way in his career and has made moves. Ivanov is a boxer, and the striking isn't bad other than having slow hands. I am taking Tybura here who is ready to fight and just has a better skill set to win this fight.
Da Un Jung VS Devin Clark
Jung is coming in as the massive fight in the CO-Main event. Both fighters are looking for a bounce win coming off losses. Clark has good takedowns and cardio for days. I don't think Clark can hang in this fight though. Jung is going to bring the heat and come in fired up wanting this win. Jung has great striking and can stand up to any fighter. Jung should be able to come into this fight and win this on the feet.
Derrick Lewis VS Serghei Spivac
The Main Event is coming in as the big boys are ready to fight! Spivac is coming in as the big favorite. Lewis is getting up there in age and coming off of two losses. Spivac is going to bring the pace and try to break Lewis physically. I believe Spivac has the tools to take this fight. Spivac will shoot for the takedowns and then work the feet. I am expecting Spivac to earn a finish.
