Brandon Royval vs Tatsuro Taira Royval really broke through in his last fight with Moreno. And even though the record says win by split decision, the reality is that Royval out struck Moreno 142 to 103. The last 3 rounds weren’t close. Royval’s speed are cardio were really a sight to behold, especially in elevation […]

Voievodkin vs Schoenfelder, Frunza vs Kutsyj, Mazzeo vs Christian Fight Picks – Contender Series – September 24, 2024
Danylo Voievodkin vs Bailey Schoenfelder Schoenfelder is a unique heavyweight in that he’s smaller for the weight class, but on the flip side, has much better speed and cardio than other heavyweights. As long as he’s able to weather the storm in the 1st round against Voievodkin, he should be okay. Chris’ Pick: Schoenfelder by […]
Pereira vs Rountree Jr, Pennington vs Pena, Aldo vs Bautista Fight Picks – UFC 307 – October 5, 2024
Alex Pereira vs Khalil Rountree Jr Who knows how good Daukaus is at 205 lbs. Not sure what to take away from Rountree Jr’s 1st round KO there. But I know how good Jacoby is and he out struck Rountree Jr 116 to 80. But the Rountree Jr that showed up against Smith, I know […]
Saint Denis vs Moicano, Imavov vs Allen, Gomis vs Brito Fight Picks – September 28, 2024
Benoit Saint Denis vs Renato Moicano Moicano, once again, in the Turner fight, his grappling is no doubt a 75 tool now. It’s legit. And his striking is definitely a 70 as striking between him and Turner was close to equal. The market thought Saint Denis’ striking was a 75 going into his matchup with […]
Tau vs Smith, Teixeira vs Lopes, Bennett vs Hart Fight Picks – Contender Series – September 17, 2024
Aaron Tau vs Elijah Smith Smith is extremely athletic, extremely fast, well rounded. Tau is explosive, but also defensively responsible, moves in and out really well. Trains at City Kickboxing. Chris’ Pick: Tau by 1st round knockout. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Tau -125 Tallison Teixeira vs Arthur Lopes Teixeira looks […]
O’Malley vs Dvalishvili, Grasso vs Shevchenko 3, Ortega vs Lopes Fight Picks – UFC 306 – Noche – September 14, 2024
Sean O’Malley vs Merab Dvalishvili The numbers are the numbers. And what the numbers showed in O’Malley’s fight with Sterling is that Sterling out struck him 16 to 10 up until the KO. Fast forward to the Vera rematch and O’Malley out strikes Vera 227 to 85. Wow. That’s indeed a leveling up. I’ve been […]
Latu vs Stirling, Steele vs Ottoni, Belgaroui vs Iwasaki Fight Picks – Contender Series – September 10, 2024
Phillip Latu vs Navajo Stirling Latu trains at Elevation fight team, has impressive power, but he got hit too much for me to put a 65 grade on his striking. Pretty confident his striking is just a 60 for now. Stirling only has 4 pro MMA fights, so not a lot of video on him […]
Burns vs Brady, Andrade vs Silva, Garcia vs Nelson Fight Picks – September 7, 2024
Gilbert Burns vs Sean Brady I wasn’t too surprised Brady was able to steamroll Gastelum on the ground. Probably 75 wrestling for Brady. But I still have that Muhammad fight in my head and ask myself, has Brady improved his cardio? What if the take downs don’t come as easy against Burns later in the […]
Cavalcanti vs Hyun Ko, Currie vs dos Santos, Bashi vs Ramos Fight Picks – Contender Series – September 3, 2024
Igor Cavalcanti vs Seok Hyun Ko Ko’s striking looks really good, fluid karate base, smoothly moves in and out, but there’s flags. Just a few years ago, Ko got knocked out by Han Seul Kim, who went 1-2 in the UFC. Last fight only went 48 seconds, not too much data to take away from […]
Jieleyisi vs Nakanishi, Bisht vs Choi, Zhawupasi vs Yoo Fight Picks – Road to UFC 3 – Las Vegas Semifinals 2 – August 23, 2024
Jieleyisi Baergeng vs Tokitaka Nakanishi Possible that Jieleyisi’s striking could be as high as a 60. Chris’ Pick: Jieleyisi by decision. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Jieleyisi -175 Angad Bisht vs Dong Hun Choi Chris’ Pick: Choi by decision. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Choi -250 Zhawupasi […]
