Jones vs Miocic, Oliveira vs Chandler, Nickal vs Craig Fight Picks – UFC 309 – November 16, 2024
Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic Even though Miocic hasn’t fought for over 3 years, Jones is just as rusty as he’s only had 2 minutes of cage time in almost the last 5 years. So obviously the Gane fight didn’t go long, so the last couple Jones fights we...
Magny vs Prates, de Ridder vs Meerschaert, Robertson vs Pinheiro Fight Picks – November 9, 2024
Neil Magny vs Carlos Prates Magny has been very inconsistent the past few years, but I do have to give him credit, his last 3 fights have been against likely future title contenders and he’s done pretty good. Got knocked out by Michael Morales last time out, but showed...
Moreno vs Albazi, Namajunas vs Blanchfield, Machado vs Ribeiro Fight Picks – November 2, 2024
Brandon Moreno vs Amir Albazi Moreno showed he’s at Kara France’s level, that the two are similar. I expect Moreno’s fight with Albazi to be similar to Albazi vs Kara France. Chris’ Pick: Moreno by decision. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Moreno -250 Rose Namajunas...

Topuria vs Holloway, Whittaker vs Chimaev, Ankalaev vs Rakic Fight Picks – UFC 308 – October 26, 2024
Ilia Topuria vs Max Holloway The first time Holloway moved up to 155 lbs to take on Dustin Poirier, he lost. Poirier looked much bigger. This time against Gaethje, Holloway out strikes him 181 to 103. Incredible. And when Holloway was going into his third fight with Volkanovski, I...
Vakhitov vs Masraf, Steele vs Blair, Pinto vs Camacho Fight Picks – Contender Series – October 8, 2024
Artem Vakhitov vs Islem Masraf Masraf hasn’t fought the best compeition, as he only has 3 pro MMA fights, but he looks like the real deal. Patient and very fast. Vakhitov is most famous for having a win over Alex Pereira in kickboxing. Chris’ Pick: Vakhitov by 1st round...
Pereira vs Hernandez, Font vs Phillips, Mudaerji vs Johnson Fight Picks – October 19, 2024
Michel Pereira vs Anthony Hernandez Pereira has three 1st round finishes in a row. Which is great. But at the same time, Pereira hasn’t fought more than 2 minutes in a fight in over 2 years. If Pereira can’t get rid of Hernandez quick, you’d think he’s going to...
Nurkozhay vs Szewczyk, Montes vs Calderon, Martinez vs Franklin Fight Picks – Contender Series – October 1, 2024
Diyar Nurkozhay vs Bartosz Szewczyk Szewczyk looks like a generic. Well rounded. His last fight was a rematch against an opponent he lost to Marcin Lazarz. Szewcyzk’s game plan was probably to be patient, but to me it looked hesitant. I didn’t see much confidence. Nurkozhay has big power,...
