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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Bin Xie vs Masuto Kawana Kawana’s wrestling was better than I thought. The tool is close to a 65, but the reason it’s still a 60 for me is he doesn’t have the cardio to carry it at that high a level through the whole fight. He gassed pretty...
