Dricus Du Plessis vs Khamzat Chimaev Chris’ Pick: Du Plessis by 4th round knockout. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Du Plessis -225 Lerone Murphy vs Aaron Pico Murphy out striking Emmett 75 to 40 really solidifies a 75 grade on his striking. Chris’ Pick: Murphy...
Anthony Hernandez vs Roman Dolidze Hernandez is a unique fighter, in the mold of Colby Covington, who’s cardio elevates all his tools. To where he overwhelms his opponent late in the fight. And Hernandez now returns to 5 round territory which makes him even more dangerous. In a 3...
Tatsuro Taira vs Hyun Sung Park I’d really love to see more of Park going into this fight. Very, very small sample size but he out struck Hernandez 11 to 4 showing his striking could be as high as a 70. Chris’ Pick: Taira by 4th round knockout. What...

Jamahal Hill vs Khalil Rountree Jr I’ve had Hill’s striking as a 75 tool for awhile now. But it seems he’s regressing. I know for certain Prochazka’s striking is just a 70 and he out struck 71 to 68. Hill has now been knocked out in both of his...
Kangjie Zhu vs Bin Xie Chris’ Pick: Zhu by 2nd round knockout. What odds I think the favorite should be at: Zhu -250 Yuji Ephoevi-Ga vs Dom Mar Fan I watched Fan’s matchup with UFC fighter Quillan Salkilld and it’s very interesting. Fan dominated most of the 1st round...
