UFC Vegas 75: Vettori vs. Cannonier Breakdown

Marvin Vettori vs. Jared Cannonier

The main event! Vettori is a great striker and is in his prime. The volume striking output will be there for him. Cannonier is a older fighter that has huge power on the feet. Vettori should be able to win this fight and has the mindset to win this fight.

Joaquim Silva vs. Arman Tsarukyan

The co-main event! Arman is coming in as a massive favorite. Silva is coming in on short notice into this fight. Silva has been up and down in his career being active in the cage. Arman has real potential to be special in the UFC. Silva only has the chance to win if he can somehow knockout Arman, but I don't see that happening.

Raoni Barcelos vs. Miles Johns

This fight is going to be excellent in all formats. Barcelos is coming off a knockout loss and has not looked good at all in recent fights. Johns is on the come-up really quickly and has tools that are looking great. Can Barcelos bounce back into this fight? Johns is going to have to combat the submission attempt. Johns can win this fight on the feet.

Alessandro Costa vs. Jimmy Flick

Flick is mainly a wrestler and he didn't look great at all last fight. Flick retired and then returned to the cage where he lost his fight badly. Costa is a striker and has power behind his shots. Costa is coming off a loss on a short-notice fight. This all depends on which version of Flick we are getting. I like Costa to come into this fight bouncing back.

Tereza Bleda vs. Gabriella Fernandes

Female fight on the board! Bleda is mainly a wrestler and has some decent striking also. Bleda is coming off a loss and is facing a striker in Fernandes. The takedown defense is not great for Fernandes coming off a loss also. Bleda is the pick for me in this fight.

Nicolas Dalby vs. Muslim Salikhov

Two fighters that are coming up in age are ready to find themselves one more win. Dalby is physically ready to go and has decent cardio. Dalby's striking is decent and takedown offense is okay. Salikhov has power for days and has knockout potential where he just earned a knockout win. I can see Salikhov handling business and finding a knockout here.

Nikolas Motta vs. Manuel Torres

What a fight! Torres is lethal on the feet and his striking is fire. Motta is no pushover on the feet either. Torres is going to push the pace and this is his fight to win.

Chris Duncan vs Armen Petrosyan

Duncan is coming into his second UFC fight and he is a promising fighter. Petrosyan has grappling and striking skills overall. Petrosyan has been on the rise. This is a battle that is going to be bloody. Duncan is great with his boxing and can knock out anyone. I like this fight overall!

Pat Sabatini vs Lucas Almeida

Not a bad fight on paper at all. Sabatini is coming off a loss where he was knocked out. Almeida is on a roll and has massive power on the feet. Almeida is going to look to keep this fight on his feet and avoid wrestling from Sabatini. Almeida is the better fighter on the feet by far. Wrestling avenue Sabatini has the better of the fight overall. This is going to be a clash of styles. I am liking Sabatini and he is going to need to watch his chin.

Denys Bondar vs. Carlos Hernandez

Hernandez is an okay striker and has power behind his striking offense. Hernandez is coming off a submission loss where the defense wasn't there. Hernandez has not looked great in his recent fights also. Bondar is a guy who is nasty on the grappling end where he wants to hurt you. I am liking Bondar to get in the face of Hernandez.

Dan Argueta vs. Ronnie Lawrence

Coming into this fight, we know Ronnie is a big-time wrestler and will shoot for takedowns the whole entire time this fight. Ronnie is coming off a loss while Dan is coming off a win. Dan will push the pace and shoot for the takedowns also. Ronnie is going to need to avoid the takedowns from Dan in order to win this fight. This a battle of the same sort of styles in the grappling department. I am liking Lawrence by a hair.

Kyung Ho Kang vs. Cristian Quinonez

Quinonez is a lengthy fighter who has to strike and is coming off a decision win. Quinonez will push the pace in this fight the whole time. Kang is going to have the avoid the striking offense of Quinonez. This is going to be a battle all day on the feet. Quinonez will have to use his boxing skills to win this fight.

Zhalgas Zhumagulov vs Felipe Bunes

What a haircut by Zhalgas but oh well haha! Zhalgas has only won one fight in the last five he has fought. Zhalgas has decent striking and the takedowns can be there for him. Bunes is a fast striker and has some wrestling offense. Bunes was an LFA Flyweight champion. This is a close fight overall. The length advantage goes to Bunes and that is his path to victory.

Modestas Bukauskas vs. Zac Pauga

The first fight of the night is here and I am ready for it. Both of these fighters are coming off a decision win. Bukauskas is a good striker and has that upside in his tool belt. Zac has recently been a striker rather than a wrestler. Bukauskas is the better striker by far. I am all over Bukasukas handling this fight. The knockout upside is there for Bukauskas.
