Danny Silva vs Josh Culibao
Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 0 Perfect, 330 Points | Tied for 2945th
I understand why Josh Culibao is the rightful favorite here. Definitely a much more experienced fighter. But, looking back at his performance. The one thing that gave me a sour taste in my mouth is him getting hurt and dropped. Danny Silva can hit very hard and crack. Probably has enough power to actually put Josh Culibao to sleep. The other thing I like about Danny Silva is he does have take downs as well that he can use against Josh. I understand Josh is a dog, and fights like a dog. But am I the only one thinking here that Danny Silva COULD beat him in striking and wrestling? I’d be more sold on Josh if I thought he has knock out power. But he really doesn’t. Don’t have a strong read on this, but wanted to hear some opinions.

Anheliger vs. Grigoriou
Charalampos Grigoriou, TKO, R1
Grigoriou is a savage, and doesn't leave himself open when striking. He is a phenomenal boxer and a great grappler, beats Anheliger however he wants. Lock of the week.

Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 340 Points | Tied for 2762nd
What is this card? The main event is a featured prelim on a mediocre PPV and the co-main would be an earlier prelim on a good card. No hate to Battle or Loosa, but they are a first or second fight on the main card at best if there we a couple of ranked fighters on this card. Tuivasa was fun a couple of years ago, but he's probably only got a year or two left in the rankings now

Be use to it, we have Namajunas-Ribas (who should be on the early prelim) as a main event on a upcoming card. The stacked UFC 299-UFC300 have a cost.

Tuivasa vs. Tybura
Tai Tuivasa, TKO, R3
I get that Tuivasa's been bruised and battered plenty in his last few fights, but his last few opponents are also day and night with whom Tybura is. He's a tough customer and a seasoned grappler, but frankly, his success just comes down to how hesitant Tuivasa is in making the first move and getting in the pocket to trade. That serves as an opening for Tybura to clinch and draw out the fight, potentially wearing big on Tai in the initial portion of the fight before he drags him down and pummels him into a TKO. I can't see that happening; this is hot waters for Tuivasa as a loss would chuck him out of title contention (he's not there anyway, but he has a much clearer path to claw his way back up the ladder with a win here), and as such, I think we'll see a refined Tuivasa select his shots with a heightened sense of urgency and put away this Polish Blagoy Ivanov (without the chin).
Battle vs. Loosa
Bryan Battle, TKO, R2
It's hard to speak much to this fight because too much random jerky **** happens at this level of competition. Loosa is a technical striker, much moreso than Battle, but that's an illusory statement - fighters who attempt to be overly technical without the fight IQ to show for it almost always get overpowered by less technical, more foot-on-the-gas fighters. Basically, Loosa is technical but without a strategic approach. Battle is slightly less technical but with far more of a tactical element to his game. I can trust him to use his sharp eye to find an opening and smoke up Loosa.
Nzechukwu vs. St. Preux
Kennedy Nzechukwu, TKO, R2
Jesus Christ. Either OSP was put on the chopping block or retired, or I'm hallucinating. Slow round 1 consisting of OSP getting hammered against the fence, then absolutely clobbered early in the second by Kennedy's cinderblock haymakers.
Rodriguez vs. Dulgarian
Isaac Dulgarian, TKO, R2
I like Rodriguez and I believe he's an elite talent, but it's hard to root for a serial weight misser. It's the height of unprofessionalism and it ******* sucks that MSP had to lose his 0 that way. Regardless, this is a close fight because Dulgarian possesses some mean physical strength which he could use to send CRod off to a shaky start. He's incredibly explosive and able to hold his base in the clinch, where most of Rodriguez's effective grappling work takes place. This may especially be something to consider if Rodriguez does show up on the scale under the prescribed weight limit, because every pound less makes a fighter far more susceptible to getting their **** rocked. Dulgarian can smack, too.
Davis vs. Levy
Mike Davis, DEC
It's frustrating watching Davis come and go. With a little more consistency, he 100% would've been ranked. Hard to say that would be the case now, but there's nothing that says he hasn't evolved alongside his newer peers in the sports. He washes Levy on the ground easily, and maybe even slaps him on the feet for a TKO.
McKenna vs. Amorim
Jaqueline Amorim, SUB, R1
Amorim stings McKenna with her right and takes it to the mat for a joint lock sub. If this goes past one, McKenna is almost certainly a lock, but that opening bell will signal a nasty, nasty first round. With that said, McKenna has grit for days and she could certainly dog out the first round to score a comeback stoppage. But I just struggle to see her making it out of those preliminary five minutes.

Tuivasa is an entertainer and Battle is on a good streak, but Main Card is really sad. I'm not one of those people who complains about fight cards, but honestly it's not like the matchmakers are obliged to put up a card every week (although I imagine it's for the road to UFC 300), but the truth is my expectations are low. and probably use those hours that could be spent on TV in something more productive. Although whoever takes away and this card has its good moments like Jairzinho vs. Gaziev.

McKenna vs. Amorim
Jaqueline Amorim, SUB, R2
Jaqueline Amorim wins the fight if it hits the ground, no doubt about it. She is solid in the stand up and has a beautiful overhand right, which McKenna is vulnerable to. Amorim is good enough on the feet to stand if she has to. Give me the hotter fighter to sub up the brit.

Ngl, This card isn’t as bad as I thought it was on first glance, don’t get me wrong, I think this card is very much the average apex show, but my first glance was that this card was trash.
My bare minimum standard is 3 fights being interesting if you being generous on the word interesting, this card pass that

Filho is great on the ground, but I don't think his wrestling is good enough to get it there. In his last fight we saw him get hurt early and start shooting some pitiful takedown attempts. If Ode hurts him he should easily be able to stuff Filho's shots and put him out

Nunes vs. Chandler
Josiane Nunes, DEC
She SHOULD beat Chandler, but i'm not ruling out an upset at all. (I'll finish doing these later)
Osbourne vs. Filho
Jafel Filho, SUB, R1
Ode's TDD is pretty bad, i don't know what he's gonna do to a BJJ black belt. If Filho fights smart (which he should) he should easily sub Osbourne.
Moisés vs. Ramirez
Thiago Moisés, SUB, R2
Moises could get caught here but I think he can RNC this guy.
Culibao vs. Silva
Josh Culibao, DEC
I feel bad for Silva who's just getting fed to Culibao. His standup is alright but it's nowehere near Culibao's. He's like a dollar store Holloway from what I've seen, he's got some serious speed in his hands and his combos are pretty nice too. And, he's got sneaky good power, which is always a plus. That being said, I am a bit worried about his takedown defense, but overall he seems to be quite solid. Should be an easy win for Culibao and hopefully he's put on the map soon.
McKenna vs. Amorim
Cory McKenna, DEC
I like both of them and McKenna's been on a pretty long but not a concerningly long hiatus. I think Cory gets in done here. I like her on the feet but her wrestling is her strong suit. Amorim is gonna spam armbars likely so I don't see McKenna going there much, plus Amorim's tank looked unimpressive vs Hughes (because again, all she does is pull guard and spam subs). Give me McKenna in this one.
Anheliger vs. Grigoriou
Chad Anheliger, TKO, R1
Chara's a killer and he can KO him however he wants but Anheliger is more well rounded. His takedown defense is lacking but his ground game is strong. He improves as the fight goes on and his opponent tires out. But I think he can finish him in the first because I like his dirty boxing and I think he can catch Chara with a clinch knee or something along those lines.
