Khaos Williams, TKO, R1
Feel dirty in thinking Khaos wins here but I can see a barnburner round 1 and it's going to be the straight right hand of Khaos v the looping punches of Harris. I'll pick the straight shot of Khaos hitting the mark. Also Harris is old so feel if he gets hit clean early he is more likely to go out. Khaos has shown lately that if he gets extended in fights he can get sloppy with his boxing combinations but I feel this is a good match up for him
Sy vs. Trócoli
Oumar Sy, DEC
Think Sy is limited enough but I trust the wrestler on a full camp vs a guy on short notice is the logical side. Trocoli popped for drugs on DWCS and even in that fight he versed a Rd1 or bust guy. Sy is coming in here off nearly a year layoff so has to be some concern about fighting to a 15 minute wrestling gameplan but I think he gets it done here.
Yanez vs. Salvador
Adrian Yanez, DEC
Yanez has kind of been exposed over the last few fights as a boxer with durability issues. Last fight he got his legs chewed up and couldn't fight to a plan B and against Font he showed he wasn't top 15 level. Vinicius coming up a weight division is not going to carry a power threat though and I can even see Yanez having a speed/power advantage. Yanez still has elite boxing combinations. One thing about Salvador is he is quite awkward on the feet and will skirt on the outside and appears durable so I don't know if Yanez finds a finish but good bounce back fight.
Magomedov vs. Alves
Abus Magomedov, TKO, R1
I really want to fade Magomedov going forward but I think like a few of the fights on the card, he is the A side and they are giving him a bounce-back fight. The play book is out on Abus and he likes a slow paced kick-boxing fight. He hates fighters who force the pressure (Could see Alves doing it). Alves is at a big reach advantage and question his durability. He will have to take shots to get his style of fight going and I can't see him doing it. Both have cardio issues so if this fight does get extended it could get interesting
Nolan vs. Martinez
Tom Nolan, TKO, R2
Picking Nolan here but aware he is potentially not UFC standard. Trains out of a gym in Queensland which is primarily a boxing gym so I am not sure how well rounded his skill will translate in fights where opponents will come out and wrestle. Positives with him is he throws in boxing combination, leaves chin on the centreline to be countered but feel he will be alright here. Martinez got chinned by Leavitt which is a horrible look and before than he was known for his durability. I feel he is fighting at maybe the wrong weight class and the only path I see him winning via a 15 minute wrestling game (Which I can't see). I can also see both fighters being conservative early because they both got KO'ed last fight so it could get extended?
Rodriguez vs. Carnelossi
Piera Rodriguez, DEC
Confident Rodriguez decision. Feel like she is a fade in the future though as she doesn't have the best cardio/defensive BJJ but Carnelossi off a long break shouldn't trouble her too much.
Ducote vs. Demopoulos
Vanessa Demopoulos, DEC
-400 Ducote seems a bit wild to me. She probably wins but she is primarily a counter striker and always fights close. Demopolous is bad but she finds a way to s**t in the apple pie of a few parlays as an underdog (Murata fight eg.) Demopolous does come to fight and she doesn't seem to quit on herself whereas I've seen Ducote mentally break in the octagon in the past (Hill fight). I guess if Ducote can establish her leg kick game and get into a boxing match she will win easy but I just feel Demopolous might make things a bit awkward
Alatengheili vs. Rodrigues
Alatengheili, DEC
Close fight, feel Kleydson will look good at range early and establish kicking range. Picking Alateng because I think he may have a ground game advantage (Trains at Fight Ready so I think they would've established a grappling gameplan) but he seems like a guy who prefers to stand and box. I also question Kleydson's ability to fight to a 15 minute decision, he seems to have big explosive actions and it affects his output deep into a fight.

Edson Barboza, TKO, R3
Just another apex filler card. Not really worth watching or betting on but I'm a degenerate loser so I'll probably do both. I'll go with barboza being a savvy vet with more 5 round experience. I could see Murphy getting a finish because barboza isn't the most durable guy but I think barboza is the better fighter in a standup fight. Also is it just me or do alot of these Brazilians look better ever since ufc got rid of usada? Confidence 5.5/10
Williams vs. Harris
Carlston Harris, DEC
I do think the small apex cage benefits Williams but I think carlston is the more well rounded fighter. Khaos has power for all 3 rounds but other than that he's kind of **** in my opinion. Confidence 5.5/10
Sy vs. Trócoli
Oumar Sy, TKO, R1
This seems like a setup win for SY who seems like a promotable guy but he could fumble it because he's fought cans. Trocili seems like a can but he's a steroid chest so you never know. Confidence 5.5/10
Yanez vs. Salvador
Adrian Yanez, TKO, R2
Maybe the move up will help Salvador but overall he's ****. Yanez is **** too but he's the better striker in a standup fight. confidence 6/10
Hill vs. Pinheiro
Angela Hill, DEC
Pinheiro has bad cardio so I think Hill can outpoint her in the last 2 rounds. Confidence 4/10
Brahimaj vs. Gorimbo
Themba Gorimbo, DEC
Brahimmaj is a one trick pony. Gorimbo is more well rounded and more dangerous. Confidence 6.5/10
Magomedov vs. Alves
Abus Magomedov, TKO, R1
Both are dangerous early then fade. Magomed is just a little more durable. Confidence 5.5/10
Nolan vs. Martinez
Tom Nolan, TKO, R1
Nolan is nearly -500 yet he's ****. Martinez is also **** but no way in hell anyone should put money on Nolan. Confidence 5/10
Vidal vs. Gatto
