Derrick Lewis vs Tallison Teixeira Chris’ Pick: Lewis by 1st round knockout. Calvin Kattar vs Steve Garcia I know the market has Garcia graded higher than I do. But I’m not buying into it. Yes, Garcia has looked great. Yes, he’s gotten 5 KO’s in a row. But the...

Ilia Topuria vs Charles Oliveira Chris’ Pick: Oliveira by 2nd round submission. Alexandre Pantoja vs Kai Kara France Chris’ Pick: Kara France by 2nd round knockout. Beneil Dariush vs Renato Moicano I wasn’t the only one who thought Dariush’s striking had leveled up to a 75 grade as he...

Zhu vs Xie, Ephoeviga vs Fan, Zhang vs Liu Fight Picks – Road to UFC Season 4 Shanghai Quarterfinals 4 – May 23, 2025
Kangjie Zhu vs Bin Xie Chris’ Pick: Zhu by 2nd round knockout. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Zhu -250 Yuji Ephoevi-Ga vs Dom Mar Fan I watched Fan’s matchup with UFC fighter Quillan Salkilld and it’s very interesting. Fan dominated most of the 1st round...
Danesoe vs Sulang, Becker vs Park, Ito vs Xiong Fight Picks – Road to UFC Season 4 Quarterfinals 3 – May 23, 2025
Peter Danesoe vs Rangbo Sulang Chris’ Pick: Danesoe by 1st round knockout. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Danesoe -175 Jack Becker vs Jae Hyun Park I haven’t seen much of Park’s striking. The 60 grade on that tool is more of a projection, but pretty...
Li vs Seo, Agulali vs Saikia, Aoi vs Yoon Fight Picks – Road to UFC Season 4 Shanghai Quarterfinals 2 – May 22, 2025
Kaiwen Li vs Dong Hyun Seo Chris’ Pick: Li by 1st round knockout. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Li -225 Agulali vs Mridul Saikia Saikia’s record looks great, but I watched his last fight against a 7-5 wrestler. Didn’t like what I saw. Saikia struggled...
Szalay vs Jieleyisi, Yin vs Yoshida, Nakamura vs Park Fight Picks – Road to UFC Season 4 Shanghai Quarterfinals 1 – May 22, 2025
Sebastian Szalay vs Baergeng Jieleyisi Szalay trains with Alexander Volkanovski at Freestyle in Austrailia. Very confident Szalay’s wrestling is no better than a 60. Also possible his striking could be as low as a 60, but his cardio is great. Chris’ Pick: Szalay by decision. What odds I think...

Dvalishvili vs O’Malley 2, Pena vs Harrison, Pyfer vs Gastelum – UFC 316 – June 7, 2025
Merab Dvalishvili vs Sean O’Malley 2 O’Malley’s striking is really close to a top of the scale 80. I thought it was an 80 going into the 1st Dvalishvili fight. It’s close. Right on the bubble. I’m going against the narrative here in saying the first fight was close...
Blanchfield vs Barber, Gamrot vs Klein, Goff vs Brahimaj Fight Picks – May 31, 2025
Erin Blanchfield vs Maycee Barber Blanchfield actually out struck Namajunas 103 to 91. But I don’t think I’m ready to upgrade Blanchfield’s striking to a 75 as I think it’s more likely Namajunas is starting to regress. But I could be wrong and it wouldn’t surprise me if the...
