Israel Adesanya, TKO, R4
Can Izzy take Jan's shots??? That's my only question.
Yan vs. Sterling
Petr Yan, TKO, R3
One of the worst flip-floppers for me that I can remember in some time. It's soo bad, I switch my pick every 5 mins. I can't make up my mind. And my gut isn't even leaning one way or the other. I truly do not know. Which makes me feel like this WILL NOT be the only matchup between these dudess. Either one of them is champ material and either one of them would be a good champ for the UFC to have. But I really do like Yan.
Makhachev vs. Dober
Islam Makhachev, DEC
Drew Dober has reeeally started putting **** together recently. Has looked to be in peak form. Riding a 3 fight KO streak, and all have been beautiful KO's. Makhachev is just a few steps ahead. Dober still has the chance of touching Islam's face, and he will most likely need to do so in order to pull a rabbit outta his ass. **** a hat.
Santos vs. Rakić
Aleksandar Rakić, DEC
It's really a shame. And Thiago Santos to this day, is one of my favorite Middleweights ever.. And he looked like an even bigger monster at 205, until the Jon Jones fight. And that fight changed him. Of course. That's a given with the injuries sustained. He will probably never be what he once was. And that sucks. He's already 38, alot older than most ppl realize... Rakic will probably use the same gameplan used against Anthony Smith here. I don't think he's gonna willingly trade with Santos... I think it's gonna be a heavy dosage of movement and jabs.
Benavidez vs. Askarov
Askar Askarov, DEC
I truly believe Joe B's days as an elite, top tier fighter are over. Not saying he's a shot, should retire asap fighter, he's just not going to make another title run. I don't see it happening. His chin is nowhere near what it used to be. His movement isn't either. So it's a tough sell for him beating Askarov. Tough matchup for Joe.
Medic vs. Cruz
Uros Medic, TKO, R1
The keyword for this one: Clarity. That's what we're gonna get. We're gonna find out where Medic stands. We all know the quality that Alaska Bum Fights beholds.. So we can't go by that.. And even then, those fights were a sloppy ******* mess. Even if Medic has never seen what 1:01 or more into the 2nd round looks like, there's still a lotta uncertainty. Atleast for me. Cruz has absolutely had the tougher schedule leading up to the UFC. And he's literally, the first somewhat legitimate opponent Medic has faced. So will he melt Cruz in R1, or will Cruz use his Experience and Durability and take over on a gassed Medic? Remember, we get clarity.
Jones vs. Bautista
Mario Bautista, TKO, R3
I'm still salty over both these dudes last fights' out... Jones nearly got finished and somehow turned it around and scored a massive KO win over Timur Valiev, which was overturned due to the old school cannabis rule. And Bautista likewise, scored a huuuge upset when he melted Miles Johns who's as solid as a prospect that you could find. So to have both of them start off the night... Should be fun. Jones will take a shellacking and look for a way to right the ship, but the damage will be done and that ship will sink late in R2, early R3. Bautista appears to be more well rounded.
