He's got one of the least bad 1-4 streaks in the UFC. And we just saw Cannonier get outworked and really fall apart with volume and pressure, which we know Kelvin can bring.

As for betting Jared @Duck, I’m skeptical of that fight and staying away from it. The one thing you have to give Gastelum is that he can eat a shot like nobody’s business. I would be not at all surprised if he eats everything Cannonier gives him for five rounds and out volumes Cannonier to earn a decision.

Cannonier vs Gastelum.
This fight will be much harder than people expect, Cannonier is used to controlling the cage and having space, while this time I believe that Gastelum will occupy the center and look for a fight as against every opponent so far, but it will not be the smartest. In the fight against Adesany he was demolished with a right overhand which is along with lowkicks Cannonier's best weapon, I think the problem is that in 90% of the situation he avoids hooks and side punches with a pull which is too risky if you have a strong hitter . I think Gastelum's chin will decide which has proven to be one of the best chins in the UFC, but in my opinion, he has never come across a hitter like this who has hammers in his hands.
Gastelum via DEC.

Jared Cannonier, TKO, R2
Bold prediction, but Killa Gorilla only loss at MW is vs Bobby Knuckles, arguably best fighter in the division not named Adesanya. Big reach advantage as well.

Jared Cannonier, TKO, R3
This is such a spectacular MW main event. I think we will see everything in this match. Kelvin will look to make it dirty, and should try mix things up, making Jared carry his weight. That should help nullify Jared's dynamite fists. I feel Jared will be able to keep Kelvin away with the solid calf kicks and the jab before connecting after a couple of rounds. I'd like to see Jared get another run at the title.

Austin Lingo, DEC
Of all the underdogs on the card, Lingo is one of the main ones who could give the upset. Saldana looked really good at DWCS in large part due to the considerable difference in height, reach and weight against Vince Murdock. Against Griffin (an established fighter in the weight class) he had a fight that was much more difficult for him. Like Griffin, Lingo has a good takedown offense and a decent standing level. I think that takedown and control time is the way to victory for Austin Lingo, because being a mainly Striker Saldana this allows Lingo to get rid of the complications that Zalal's wrestling presented him in his UFC debut.

He should be working on shoring up those holes that got exposed. Also...he's gotta know he has to capitalize on a step down in competition if he wants to be relevant at the UFC level.
I guess you could say the same for Cherant. Menefield snatched up that Von Flue with ease so he should be looking to also improve.
I think this is a fight where the better gas tank wins....and Knight has a decent gas tank for a jacked dude.

Trevin Jones, SUB, R1
Jones is a lock, more technical on the feet and is better on the ground. Leaning towards a sub because Trevin has a super slick ground game and mana has showed a weakness to subs, getting subbed within 2 minutes by a not very impressive Drako Rodriguez. But I can definitely see Trevin by Tko as well, Mana definitely has power but so does Jones. and jones seems to be the more technical striker of the two so I could see mana running into something big just like Bautista did. Gonna be a rough debut for mana in my opinion

Jared Cannonier, DEC
Jared has looked like a best at MW, his only loss to Whittaker is nothing to be ashamed of, the way Robert looked people are giving him a chance to beat Adesanya. Kelvin will stand and trade and put up a good fight but I think Cannonier is more polished than him

Mark O. Madsen, SUB, R1
I can't wait for this one. Madsen is 1 in ch taller, has a 2 inch reach advantage and is 3 years younger. The Olympic Silver medalist in Greco Roman wrestling has crazy strength and power in his right hand. He throws massive haymakers as either a way to try to KO you or to close distance to get inside on the body lock, either way he hurts you, or gets the fight to the ground where he has great front chokes and deadly GnP. Guida has a massive experience advantage, conditioning for days and he moves laterally well and in order to stay safe here he will need to constantly be moving and try to tire out Madsen who only has about 9 minutes of conditioning. Guida has never won a fight in the UFC where his opponent has taken him down more than once. That is an awful stat to see in a fight against Madsen. I think Mark gets this to the mat early and finishes it shortly after. If it gets extended to the 3rd round this fight will be VERY interesting. I have a 2.5 unit bet on the Madsen ML at -160. In depth breakdown included in the video.

Antônio Braga Neto, DEC
This fight is almost impossible to call to be honest. We've got someone on a 3 fight losing streak vs someone who's not fought in 4 years. It's so hard to say what happens but I think I'm going with Neto, especially if he can take this fight down to the ground. Alhassan has the power to KO anyone but nowadays his striking looks extremely slow and his punches are sloppy. He can get a KO in this fight because Neto doesn't really move his head but I don't know, I think Neto is able to get this fight in the clinch and work his trips from there. Once it gets to the ground, Alhassan is going to have a very very hard time getting back to his feet
