O’Malley vs Vera 2, Poirier vs St. Denis, Holland vs Page Fight Picks – UFC 299 – March 9, 2024
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 […]
Rozenstriuk vs Gaziev, Pedro vs Petrino, Mokaev vs Perez Fight Picks – March 2, 2024
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. […]
Moreno vs Royval 2, Rodriguez vs Ortega, Rosas Jr vs Turcios Fight Picks – February 24, 2024
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 […]
Volkanovski vs Topuria, Whittaker vs Costa, Cejudo vs Dvalishvili Fight Picks – UFC 298 – February 17, 2023
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 […]
Hermansson vs Pyfer, Ige vs Fili, Potieria vs Bryczek Fight Picks – February 10, 2024
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 […]
Haraguchi vs Zhu, Zha vs Kaiwen, Tsuruya vs Niushiyue – Road to UFC 2: Las Vegas Finals – February 3, 2024
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: […]
Imavov vs Dolidze, Moicano vs Dober, Brown vs Salikhov Fight Picks – February 3, 2024
Nassourdine Imavov vs Roman Dolidze Imavov is very similar to Marvin Vettori, except Imavov has more power. I also expect Imavov’s cardio to be better than Dolidze’s too. Expect this fight to be similar to Vettori vs Dolidze. Chris’ Pick: Imavov by decision. What I think the odds should be: Imavov -250 Renato Moicano vs […]
Strickland vs du Plessis, Bueno Silva vs Pennington, Allen vs Evloev Fight Picks – UFC 297 – January 20, 2024
Sean Strickland vs Dricus du Plessis Everybody was shocked when Strickland upset Adesanya. I wasn’t. Adesanya doesn’t have the top of the scale 80 grade striking that the narrative says he has. What I was surprised by was that Strickland got better. Adesanya does have 75 striking for sure. And Strickland amazingly out struck him […]
Ankalaev vs Walker 2, Kape vs Nicolau, Miller vs Benitez Fight Picks – January 13, 2024
Magomed Ankalaev vs Johnny Walker 2 I was thinking maybe Smith’s striking was starting to regress going in to his fight with Ryan Spann. Everybody saw it as a coin flip fight. Then Smith out strikes Spann 90 to 50. Wow. So Smith’s striking hasn’t gone anywhere. Is still a 70. And now let’s go […]
