Tbh, I think he has more of a shot against Jake Matthews, since both of them are pretty flawed and Miguel is well-rounded enough to hang with him both on the feet and on the ground. I have to watch more tape before I come to that conclusion though.

I don't belive one fight at this stage of his career will destroy his chin that bad

And I agree that normally one tough fight doesn’t affect the chin but he got absolutely battered in that fight. You should rewatch it (also because it was a sleeper FOTY in 2020) to see what I mean. That was a brutal fight

Chokes seem the least damaging of all subs, really people shoulders, knees, ankles, arms break etc, never seen a broken neck.

- Baeza managed to hurt Khaos with calf kicks and was leading in the third round picking his shots until he decided to go wild with a power puncher like Khaos Williams.
- Baeza managed to hurt Fialho in the first round and he last minute of the first round instead of picking his shots, managing the advantage and looking for the finish in the next round, he wanted to exchange with Fialho giving him the space to catch him with a good hand that sent him to the canvas.
The worst of the case is that against Khaos his corner clearly told him not to seek an exchange with Khaos before the final round began and against Fialho the coaches told him to keep his composure and not neglect his defense.
Mathews is an experienced opponent, but Baeza seems to me like he has potential to be a Top 15 fighter before this losing streak, if he doesn't win the fight he'll end up out of the UFC.

Priscila Cachoeira, TKO, R2
I like JoJo but Cachoeira is powerful and hits like she has bricks in her hands. I
Matthews vs. Baeza
Jake Matthews, TKO, R2
Not confident in this one

Semelsberger only a -150 fav against Medic ? ...imo Semi should be around -250+ ...Medic is moving up a weight class on somewhat short notice (~6 weeks I think?)
Paulo Costa a dog (+105) against Aliskerov? ...recency bias, and Aliskerov is extremely hittable.
Thoughts?
