Islam Makhachev, SUB, R2
Unfortunately this is a very easy one to call here. I’m a day 1 fan of Poirier but there’s little chance he wins this fight. I see this going similarly to the Khabib fight. Islam is obviously a better striker tho and could knock Dustin out but I doubt he would take the risk. In fact I think he’s not gonna waste any time with it. Dustins only shot is at the beginning of the rounds imo. I say he survives until the late 2nd round. I’m hoping Dustin pulls it off but I doubt it
Strickland vs. Costa
Sean Strickland, DEC
I hope this fight actually happens. Strickland to me is the A side unsurprisingly, I see him being better over a 5 round fight and also I think he’s just the more skilled guy. I think Paulo is gonna struggle with the jab of Sean. Of course there’s a chance Sean gets KOd but I don’t think Paulo will. We shall see but I see Strickland taking it
Holland vs. Oleksiejczuk
Kevin Holland, DEC
This fight kind of demonstrates this cards and quality, not bad but not great either for a ppv. This isn’t a bad fight tho and as long as it’s on the feet Michal is fun to watch. His grappling stinks but Holland hardly ever try’s to grapple unless he’s getting whooped like mvp was doing to him. I think he keeps his distance and land shots on Michal who can be hit with consistency. I think Holland will take the UD
Almeida vs. Romanov
Jailton Almeida, TKO, R2
Almeida is just a so much better version of Romanov. There’s not much to say here. Romanov is gonna get mauled
Brown vs. Zaleski
Randy Brown, DEC
Initially I was leaning upset but stuck with Randy. Dos Santos is very skilled still but he is older now. Brown has the height as well as speed advantage which is hard to combat. I might be end up looking dumb here but I feel good about this one
