Leon Edwards vs Belal Muhammad 2 It does look like Muhammad has gotten better since his first fight with Edwards in 2021. Wrestling is on the low end of a 75 grade. And I know Muhammad’s striking is only a 70 as the striking with Burns was close to equal the first 2 rounds, before […]

Amanda Lemos vs Virna Jandiroba Whether Dern’s grappling is a 70 or a 75 doesn’t really matter. Dern did out grapple Lemos so I’m confident Lemos grappling is a 65. Market thinks Godinez has 70 striking but the numbers aren’t there to support that grade. Which means Jandiroba’s striking is still a 65 for me.I […]

Rose Namajunas vs Tracy Cortez And here I was thinking Cortez’s striking was only a 60, going into the Jasudavicius fight. First time Cortez really relied on the stand up tools and she out struck Jasudavicius 91 to 58. Grading Namajunas’ striking is quite the puzzle. On the one hand, I know 100% for sure […]

Alex Pereira vs Jiri Prochazka 2 Prochazka could have a bit of a wrestling advantage. He took Pereira down in the 1st round in their first fight. But I don’t see him trying to do that for 5 rounds, nor would he have the cardio to do it being that both took this fight on […]

Robert Whittaker vs Ikram Aliskerov I know Aliskerov has a ton of hype right now. Three 1st round finishes in three UFC fights. Each lasting a little over 2 minutes. But. The striking numbers between Aliskerov and Hawes were close to equal. And despite the quick KO with Alves, the numbers show his striking was […]

Alex Perez vs Tatsuro Taira It’s possible Taira’s grappling could be as high as a 75, but I don’t it because his striking is definitely no higher than a 65 and I don’t think his grappling is that further ahead over his stand up. I was surprised to see the striking between Perez and Nicolau […]

Jared Cannonier vs Nassourdine Imavov Total coin flip fight on paper, but I give Imavov a slight edge in that he’s 11 years younger than Cannonier. Chris’ Pick: Imavov by decision. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Imavov -135 Dominick Reyes vs Dustin Jacoby Despite losing his last fight, I can finally […]

Jieleyisi Baergeng vs Yunfeng Li Chris’ Pick: Jieleyisi by 2nd round knockout. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Jieleyisi -135 Kierandip Singh Sahota vs Shuai Yin At times, Shuai looks like he has 60 tools, but his cardio isn’t great and from what I’ve seen, isn’t the same fighter in the second […]

Zhawupasi Daermisi vs Ren Ozaki Zhawupasi’s wrestling could be a 65. It’s really close. But he does seem one dimensional and his striking could be as low as a 50. Chris’ Pick: Zhawupasi by decision. What odds I think the favorite should be: Zhawupasi -225 John Dave Almanza vs Angad Bisht I watched Bisht’s last […]

Bin Xie vs Yibugele Yibugele’s wrestling is close to a 55, but not quite there yet. I like Bin’s cardio. His tools could be as high as 60’s. Chris’ Pick: Bin by decision. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Bin -175 Ming Shi vs Ye Dam Seo Seo clearly lost to Josefine […]
