Deiveson Figueiredo, TKO, R1
Figueiredo hands down. The man is a killer, he's the scariest fighter in the flyweight division and the best the division has had since Mighty Mouse and Cejudo, Moreno is good, he's a very good fighter but there's not a fighter in that division ready to dethrown Figuereido, he's gonna be champ for a long time.
Ferguson vs. Oliveira
Tony Ferguson, DEC
Not going to go into much detail here as for me this is a coin flip.. Oliveira has never faced someone on Fergusons level, his submission game is incredible and i wouldn't be at all surprised if Oliveira locked Ferguson into a submission, however Ferguson is too good, i just can't go against him, the man is a warrior and even Gaethje couldn't finish him, i know it was a TKO but Ferguson didn't go to sleep, the referee stopped it because Ferguson was not going to stop, he didn't want that fight to end despite the fact Gaethje was putting a real beating on him. For me Ferguson is better everywhere but i wouldn't be surprised if Oliveria picked up the win, how much damage Ferguson took against Gaethje could be a factor in this fight.
Moicano vs. Fiziev
Renato Moicano, DEC
The odds in this fight baffle me. Moicano is no joke.. Fiziev's biggest win is Marc Diakese.. Diakese is no Moicano.. granted Fiziev has some nasty combinations and great stand up but this could be a big step up too soon for Fiziev, Moicano has only lost 3 fights to some of the best fighters on the roster, for me Moicano can use his experience and ground game to pick up the win in this fight.
Holland vs. Souza
Kevin Holland, TKO, R2
If this fight was 5 years ago Souza wins hands down. But it's not.. Holland has been on a tear this year, he's looked good aswell. his reach in this fight is mad, if he uses that properly he can piece Jacare up for 3 rounds, however if this fight goes to the ground then Jacare still has a chance to win this fight. But for me i think Holland will have fun in this fight and showcase some good striking and use his reach advantage to pick Jacare off and get the finish in round 2.
dos Santos vs. Gane
Ciryl Gane, TKO, R1
JDS is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time simple as that. However you can't ignore the fact he's 36 now and his chin is deteriorating. He's facing a monster in Ciryl Gane, he's the biggest prospect in the heavyweight division right now. This is Gane chance to get a big name on his win record and i see him doing it, he's got insane power, a good ground game and i just can't really see any way JDS can win this fight. Biggest lock of the night for me.
Swanson vs. Pineda
Daniel Pineda, SUB, R2
Pineda absolutely ****** my parlays up when i backed Herbert Burns.. so i hate him for that, however i can't deny he looked good in that fight, the crucifix he got Burns in then that ground and pound was very good, Swanson looked good on the feet against Gracie, and he's been in the octagon with some of the best but he's 37 now, Pineda looked real good against Burns so i do fancy him to get the win against Swanson.
Dern vs. Jandiroba
Mackenzie Dern, SUB, R2
The sexiest UFC fighter on the roster vs the ugliest.. Jandiroba's eyes are all over the place however her Jiu Jitsu is legit and got a lot of experience, this is essentially a Jiu Jitsu battle and i'm going to back Dern just because she's sexy as ****.
Quarantillo vs. Tucker
Billy Quarantillo, DEC
This is such a close fight to call, no way worthy of the 80% to 20% on here. Both quality fighters, the only reason i'm backing Quarantillo is because of recent activity and wins, although Tucker looked solid against Jaynes.
Torres vs. Hughes
Sam Hughes, DEC
Boringgggg, couldn't care less.
Spivak vs. Vanderaa
Jared Vanderaa, TKO, R2
Sergey Spivak is ****.. simple as that. Even in the fights he's won in the UFC he looked ****, he's beaten Tuivasa and Felipe who are both fat, he slows up as his cardio is terrible, all his has is a bit of ground and pound and lying on them till his slips in a submission, i fancy Vanderaa to take the win here fresh off his contender series KO.
Hooper vs. Barrett
Peter Barrett, DEC
Hooper looked horrendous against Caceres, his body isn't developed and i just cannot back him again after his last fight, the bloke is only 21 so has a big career ahead of him but he isn't ready for the UFC yet in my eyes, neither is Slippery Pete so it really is a coinflip but Barrett gave it a good go against Zalal where as Hooper looked awful against Caceres so i have to back Barrett in this one.
