Ian Machado Garry vs Carlos Prates Chris’ Pick: Machado Garry by decision. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Machado Garry -250 Anthony Smith vs Zhang Mingyang Smith has been wildly inconsistent the past couple years. Being that this is his retirement fight, we could see further...
Alexander Volkanovski vs Diego Lopes Volkanovski has been knocked out in both of his last 2 fights. I don’t trust his chin against Lopes. Chris’ Pick: Lopes by 1st round knockout. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Lopes -225 Michael Chandler vs Paddy Pimblett Chris’ Pick:...
Lerone Murphy vs Josh Emmett For a moment, I thought Murphy had elevated his striking to a 75 because of what he did to Barboza. But he only out struck Ige 37 to 32. And the grappling exchanges went back and forth. Matter of fact Ige had almost 5...

Alex Pereira vs Magomed Ankalaev I thought Rakic had 75 striking going into his fight with Ankalaev, thought he’d be able to land more, but instead the strikes were close to equal. So does that mean Ankalaev has 75 striking too? I think more likely not. Could be wrong....
Asu Almabayev vs Manel Kape Part of me is reluctant to elevate Kape’s striking to a 75, but the numbers are the numbers and Kape out struck Silva 109 to 55. Chris’ Pick: Kape by decision. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Kape -225 Julian Marquez...
Henry Cejudo vs Song Yadong Song might’ve lost to Petr Yan, but it was a razor close fight. Yan out struck him 86 to 79. Control time on the ground was really close to equal. Chris’ Pick: Song by split decision. What odds I think the favorite should be...
