Pereira vs Prochazka 2, Ortega vs Lopes, Smith vs Dolidze Fight Picks – UFC 303 – June 29, 2024
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...
Whittaker vs Aliskerov, Pavlovich vs Volkov, Walker vs Oezdemir Fight Picks – June 22, 2024
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,...
Perez vs Taira, Silva de Andrade vs Johns, Almeida vs Cuamba Fight Picks – June 15, 2024
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...
Cannonier vs Imavov, Reyes vs Jacoby, Rosas Jr vs Turcios Fight Picks – June 8, 2024

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...
Zhawupasi vs Ozaki, Almanza vs Bisht, Yoo vs Nose – Road to UFC 3 – Shanghai Quarterfinals 3 – May 19, 2024
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...
