-Punahele Soriano: Soriano is a very good prospect. Probably the best prospect on the card. 26 years old. 5-0. Has plus striking and average grappling. And he’s already beaten two fighters that I think are better than Jamie Pickett. Like, Pickett is probably a step down for Soriano. Pickett is 30 years old. 7-3 pro […]
Chris
Cejudo vs Moraes, Shevchenko vs Eye, Ferguson vs Cerrone Fight Picks
-Henry Cejudo: Cejudo has developed two main paths to beating opponents. Using his plus plus wrestling to take the opponent down, grind and get a decision win. The other is to use his plus knockout power. History has shown that when Cejudo thinks he can be out struck, like in fights with Sergio Pettis and […]
Gustafsson vs Smith, Oezdemir vs Latifi, Manuwa vs Rakic Fight Picks
-Anthony Smith: This is a projection pick. Because on paper, Alexander Gustafsson should win this fight. That even though Gustafsson got dominated by Jon Jones in his last fight, he still had a razor close split decision loss to Daniel Cormier. He beat Jan Blachowicz. He knocked out Glover Teixeira. And you could look at […]
Lee vs dos Anjos, Luque vs Krantz, Ladd vs Eubanks Fight Picks
-Kevin Lee: Despite the recent set backs Lee has had, I still see him with champion level upside. It’s just that 155 lbs is to hard of a cut for him to make. He almost beat Tony Ferguson and Al Iaquinta. But he’ll be even better at 170 lbs. And what’s funny is that Lee […]
Namajunas vs Andrade, Silva vs Cannonier, Aldo vs Volkanovski Fight Picks
-Rose Namajunas: Jessica Andrade is deserving of her 2nd shot at the 115 lb title, but Namajunas is a horrible matchup for her. I see 2 different ways Namajunas can win. I grade Namajunas as having plus plus grappling and even though Andrade has above average grappling in her own right, Namajunas is the better […]
Iaquinta vs Cerrone, Brunson vs Theodorou, Swanson vs Burgos Fight Picks
-Al Iaquinta: Turns out, there’s a reason Khabib Nurmagomedov didn’t look great beating Iaquinta back in April. It’s because Iaquinta has improved a lot the past year. And I thought for sure Kevin Lee would beat Iaquinta because Lee would have the wrestling to make it a stand up fight and easily out box him. […]
Jacare vs Hermansson, Hardy vs Smoliakov, Perry vs Oliveira Fight Picks
-Jack Hermansson: UPSET SPECIAL 1: Hermansson is a very unique fighter in the sense that he has a plus plus tool that’s very hard to stop. He went 1-1 in his first 2 UFC fights. Decision win over Scott Askham and losing to Cezar Ferreira. Since then he’s become a different fighter focusing on taking […]
Overeem vs Oleynik, Makhachev vs Tsarukyan, Pavlovich vs Golm Fight Picks
-Alexey Oleynik: Oleynik is one of those rare fighters that is still getting better despite being 41 years old. 6-2 in the UFC now. Won 5 out of his last 6, losing to Curtis Blaydes. No shame there. His opponent Alistair Overeem has this perception that he’s one of the elite at heavyweight, but his […]
Holloway vs Poirier II, Gastelum vs Adesanya, Anders vs Rountree Fight Picks
-Max Holloway: In asking myself how good is Holloway, all I need to do is look at his last fight. Like, I really thought Brian Ortega was going to beat him. So for Holloway to finish Ortega was really special. I think Holloway has found a formula where he waits around for the middle of […]
Barboza vs Gaethje, Branch vs Hermansson, Emmett vs Johnson Fight Picks
-Edson Barboza: It’s proven that really the only way to beat Barboza is to take him down. He has plus plus striking and this fight is a horrible matchup for Justin Gaethje. Even though Gaethje is supposed to have pretty good wrestling, he almost never uses it in his fights and I don’t think he’ll […]
