Brendan Allen vs Chris Curtis 2 Allen’s grappling is getting ridiculous with how he handled Craig on the ground. Could be approaching a top of the scale 80 grade. Curtis still has a quality 6-2 UFC record, but his skills seem to have plateaued. I just think if Allen is able to beat Allen on […]

Erin Blanchfield vs Manon Fiorot Chris’ Pick: Blanchfield by 4th round submission. What I think the odds should be: Blanchfield -175 Vicente Luque vs Joaquin Buckley There have been times when I’ve thought Buckley’s striking is a 70. But there’s zero chance Andre Fialho has 70 striking and the strikes between Buckely and Fialho was […]

Rose Namajunas vs Amanda Ribas It was easy to write Namajunas off after her loss to Carla Esparza. Ex champion. Moving up to a heavier weight class. Market closed with Fiorot as a -200 favorite. But amazingly, the old Namajunas showed up. Tools translated at 125 lbs just fine. Only question I have is if […]

Tai Tuivasa vs Marcin Tybura Chris’ Pick: Tuivasa by 2nd round knockout. What I think the odds should be: Tuivasa -200 Bryan Battle vs Ange Loosa Chris’ Pick: Battle by decision. What I think the odds should be: Battle -250 Kennedy Nzechukwu vs Ovince St Preux Chris’ Pick: Nzechukwu by 2nd round knockout. What I think the […]

Sean O’Malley vs Marlon Vera I wasn’t 100% sure going into the O’Malley vs Sterling fight that O’Malley had 75 striking. He fought Munhoz and Munhoz actually out struck him 26 to 25. Then he took on Yan and the first 2 rounds of striking had O’Malley edging him out before taking over in the […]

Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs Shamil Gaziev Gaziev really blew me away in his official debut with Buday. Buday, he was coming off his biggest win, looked to be in the best shape of his career and Gaziev just walked him down and steamrolled him. Gaziev’s cardio held up fine, which was a concern from prior fights. […]

Brandon Moreno vs Brandon Royval 2 Moreno has all the advantages here. Won the first fight. Two paths to win. Hometown crowd behind him. Chris’ Pick: Moreno by 2nd round submission. What I think the odds should be: Moreno -350 Yair Rodriguez vs Brian Ortega I know Rodriguez got knocked out by Alexander Volkanovski in […]

Alexander Volkanovski vs Ilia Topuria By the end of the Topuria vs Emmett fight, you walk away with the impressive that Topuria easily won the fight and dominated. But the numbers say otherwise. Yes, Topuria did last more shots, 114 to 87. But the guy who really dominated Emmett was Yair Rodriguez, he out struck […]

Jack Hermansson vs Joe Pyfer Hermansson’s last loss to Roman Dolidze was of the fluky variety. Hermansson got stuck in an awkward position which led to the loss. Stuff like that doesn’t happen often. But Hermansson out struck Dolidze 43 to 12, Hermansson was clearly winning the fight. My point is that his skills are […]

Shin Haraguchi vs Zhu Rong Chris’ Pick: Haraguchi by decision. What I think the odds should be: Haraguchi -300 Zha Yi vs Kaiwen Li Chris’ Pick: Zha by decision. What I think the odds should be: Zha -175 Rei Tsuruya vs Niushiyue Ji Chris’ Pick: Tsuruya by decision. What I think the odds should be: […]
