| Max Holloway | vs | Dustin Poirier |
Holloway has the best footwork in the division. He is going to put the pressure on Poirier and get the TKO victory. I see him taking this in the championship rounds. I expect a lot of “sprawl and brawl” from Holloway
| Kelvin Gastelum | vs. | Israel Adesanya |
Stylebender should win this one. It should be a boring affair for the casuals. It will go all five rounds. Adesanya has the reach, Gastelum has the chin.
| Eryk Anders | vs. | Khalil Rountree Jr |
Anders has terrible technique, but has a hard head. I see Anders eating a lot of shots, but I don’t see him getting finished. Rountree should win this one easily
| Alan Jouban | vs. | Dwight Grant |
Grant should be able to stay on the outside and take this one by decision
| Ovince St. Preux | vs. | Nikita Krylov |
OSP has a lot of fights where he looks sleepy and unmotivated, but he’s a super talented fighter. I think OSP will take this one by KO
| Jalin Turner | vs. | Matt Frevola |
The physical tools that Turner possesses are undeniable. Turner is faster and has more devastating striking. Turner should win this one by TKO in the 2nd
| Wilson Reis | vs. | Alexandre Pantoja |
Loser gets cut? I see Reis winning this one. The Flyweight weight-class in the UFC is essentially a title-less prize-fighting weight class. Its hard to care about this fight
| Max Griffin | vs. | Zelim Imadaev |
I don’t know anything about Zelim Imadaev. I’ve never really followed the “Fight Nights Global” promotion, but I know that Max Griffin is not very good. Imadaev should take this
| Boston Salmon | vs. | Khalil Taha |
Both of these guys are not very dynamic. I think Taha will win by Split decision. I predict that this one will have a “sparring match” feel
| Curtis Millender | vs. | Belal Muhammad |
This fight is tailor made for Millender. Muhammad is tough, but Millender is long and has dynamic striking. If Muhammad has a secret wrestling game he could win this one. I don’t think he has a secret wrestling game
| Montel Jackson | vs. | Andre Soukamthath |
Jackson is smooth as butter. We should see some slickness in this fight
| Lauren Mueller | vs. | Poliana Botelho |
Tough one to pick. I’ll go with Bothelho
| Brandon Davis | vs. | Randy Costa |
This fight is deserving of the honor of first fight of the evening. Brandon Davis is just like Max Griffin and I always get them confused. Randy Costa is making his octagon debut and I know nothing about him. Since I know zilch about Costa, I’ll go with cage experience, and Davis has cage experience.
The Montel Jackson pick will be unbroken
