Jimmy Crute, DEC
We have already seen this fight play out. Crute was doing good early until he tried (a very rushed) guillotine attempt and got beaten up by menifield. Crute def felt the pressure of fighting at home and trying to get a finish, I think he doesn't rush this time around and maintains a dominant position on the ground for 15 mins or finds a sub later in the fight. He needs to avoid getting in brawl with menifield because Alonzo can Crack with big power and crute is Chinny. Avoid betting this fight.
Cháirez vs. Taira
Tatsuro Taira, SUB, R1
Taira should roll here and odds reflect that. Not much to be said on this matchup. Going with Taira by absolute domination.

I see a lot of people counting him out, and I get that, cause Whittaker is phenomenal on the feet, but maybe Dricus could make this one ugly by not letting too much space for Rob and spoil the party (I'm not counting on that, but who knows).

Yazmin Jauregui, DEC
This is one of the rare exciting fights in wmma. How can you not love yazmin Jauregui, girl is a beast. Great footwork, exciting fighting style, very technical on the feet, solid jijutsu background. This feels like a showcase matchup for her (Mexico stand up for your girl!!) Denise Gomes is best known for dating Karol Rosa and exposing the absolute fraud Bruna Brasil in her last fight. Gomes game plan in this fight will be to get close, clinch and try to take jauregi down but I think she will have trouble tracking Jauregi down in the big cage. Jauregi needs to be careful if the fight hits the ground to not leave openings for armbar. Striking wise there is a huge discrepancy, Yazmin is fast, accurate and more technical and has superior footwork. Gomes is tough, I think she will take a beating but survive for 3 rounds. Yazmin by decision for me.

Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R1
Disappointed to see the Sean Brady matchup falling thru. Props to JDM for staying on the card. Doubt Josiah even has a punchers chance against a superior boxer in JDM. JDM will hurt Josiah and put him out cold in round 1

That still leaves the issues of Whittaker being a better striker, a better wrestler, having better fight IQ and having way more experience fighting in the top 10.
