Juancamilo Ronderos VS Clayton Carpenter
The first fight of the night! Carpenter is coming from DWCS. Physically Carpenter is ready for this fight and young. Overall, Carpenter has looked great in the cage. Ronderos is coming off a loss in his UFC debut. The takedown and grappling worries me for Ronderos. I am loving Carpenter to come in with his grappling skills to earn the win.
AJ Fletcher VS Themba Gorimbo
This is going to be a interesting fight. Gorimbo is aggressive on the feet despite his striking that is everywhere. Fletcher is overall the better fighter with his grappling and striking. The short arms of Fletcher doesn't worry me in this fight. Fletcher is in a layup of a fight and I don't see Fletcher having any issues in this fight.
Nazim Sadykhov VS Evan Elder
Nazim is coming from DWCS and a win where he showed his striking skills. The power Nazim brings is great and has pop in his hands. Nazim can bring in his grappling skills also that are on the table. Elder lost his UFC debut and has wrestling skills. Both fighters are southpaw which makes it a nice striking matchup. Elder can bring his aggressive stance forward but I think Nazim can get the better end of the fight.
Ovince St. Preux VS Philipe Lins
OSP is a legend and it's awesome seeing him fight. OSP is getting up in age and coming off a okay win. OSP is a guy who stays patient and tries to find the finish. We know OSP can always find his finish based on his submission skills. Lins is a fighter who is up and coming. Lins has wins in the past and knows how to find success. I am really liking Lins who can win against the aging fighter.
Jamall Emmers VS Khusein Askhabov
A nice fight overall. Emmers has been inconsistent in the cage but always brings the fight. Khusein is no pushover and a submission machine. Khuesein can out grapple Jamall which I think is where the edge is for him. Khusein is a dangerous fighter and will make the most of his UFC debut. I am loving Khusein to get the job done.
Lina Länsberg VS Mayra Bueno Silva
Female fight! Silva is a good striker and coming off of two wins. Lina is coming up in age and coming off of 3 losses. Silva is the better fighter and better in all categories. I don't see how Silva losses this fight.
Jim Miller VS Alexander Hernandez
Miller is another legend on this card and a submission machine. Miller is on a 3 fight win streak and easily a UFC Hall of Famer. Hernandez is coming off two losses. Hernandez has huge pop in his striking and has decent wins in the past, but nothing impressive. I am really liking Miller to win this fight and bring his momentum that he is on to this fight. Give me the legend in Miller.
William Knight VS Marcin Prachnio
The pop of Knight with his hands and the power is there. Both fighters are coming off a loss and definitely needing a win. Who do you trust more in this fight is the biggest deal. Prachnio didn't look good at all in his wins. I think Knight can scrap by and land the biggest punch.
Josh Parisian VS Jamal Pogues
Both fighters are coming off a win. Pogues is coming off of DWCS and is the favorite in this fight. Parisian is all over the place and is also hard to trust. Pogues has the better striking and can land the bigger punch similar to the last fight above.
Zac Pauga VS Jordan Wright
The CO- Main Event! Pauga is the massive favorite in this fight and coming off a loss. Pauga has big wins and massive pop. Wright we know has good hands also and power behind his striking. I see Pauga winning based on his striking and earning the win on a knockout punch.
Jéssica Andrade VS Erin Blanchfield
Main Event! Andrade is stepping in to fight in the main even for Santos. Blanchfield has amazing grappling and can work the ground in great fashion. Andrade is coming in with a good game plan to work the striking. This is going to be a style fight. I think Andrade can win this fight on the feet if she can avoid the ground. Blanchfield can bring the fight to Andrade. I am edging Blanchfield by a hair.
