Obligatory UFC event. Kinda like a TUF manufactured event. I never watch TUF. Dont know anything about it. I dont need to personally get to know a fighter to like how they fight, or want to see them fight. Volk takes on Ortega.
| Alexander Volkanovski | vs | Brian Ortega |
Ok, So its been a while since Volkanovski defended his belt. But here we are. I think that Volkanovski knows that Max Holloway beat him in their last fight, and he’ll be better. I just think Volk is more technical, and I think if it goes to the ground, Volk has good enough wrestling to get out of it
| Valentina Shevchenko | vs | Lauren Murphy |
Shevchenko is just faster. Murphy says that she’s stronger, and that might be true, but again, Valentina is just faster… and more technical
| Robbie Lawler | vs | Nick Diaz |
Ok, this is a fair matchup. Lets just call a spade a spade here. One guy was retired, the other one should be retired. This fight is basically to see how Nick Diaz looks. I’m Fading Lawler hard here, IMO he should have retired 3 years ago
| Curtis Blaydes | vs | Jairzinho Rozenstruik |
I think Rozenstruik will be able to avoid the takedown here and land some strikes, and personally… I dont think Blaydes’ hands are that good
| Jessica Andrade | vs | Cynthia Calvillo |
There is a Calvillo that doesnt care and just shows up for a paycheck, and there is a Calvillo that comes to fight. Either way I think Andrade takes this
| Marlon Moraes | vs | Merab Dvalishvili |
I see Dvalishvili outlasting Moraes here. If there is a high pace in this fight, I think Merab gets the finish
| Dan Hooker | vs | Nasrat Haqparast |
Haqparast is tough, and when he’s ON… I think he can beat anybody at 155
| Shamil Abdurakhimov | vs | Chris Daukaus |
I think Daukaus is faster here, Just a little more dynamic
| Roxanne Modafferi | vs | Taila Santos |
I think Modafferi is stronger, I think Santos is faster and more dynamic. Santos does have gas tank problems at times
| Manon Fiorot | vs | Mayra Bueno Silva |
Fiorot is more mobile with better kickboxing, Silva is stronger with a better clinch
| Nick Maximov | vs | Karl Roberson |
I like Roberson here
| Uros Medic | vs | Jalin Turner |
I like Medic
| Matt Semelsberger | vs | Martin Sano |
Maybe Semelsberger got this fight because he did the UFC a favor or something
| Omar Morales | vs | Jonathan Pearce |
Morales all day long
