Miocic vs. N'Gannou II
Stipe Miocic, TKO, R4
When you grew up wrestling from a young age and go on to do it at the level Stipe did it before mma, that's not a skill you can just catch up to by saying oh I'll train my wrestling really hard. He may have made decent cardio improvements to put up a better fight but this fight will likely be similar to the first. Francis needs a big KO to win. Always possible but Stipe has an iron chin and shown he can eat those, but you never know when one lands flush enough or age catches up with him. As far as a prediction im taking Stipe for a late finish most likely from ground and pound. As far as a bet I got -125 earlier in the week for over 1.5 rounds. I don't really wanna lay money on Stipe with the KO threat but if he gets a good enough deal I might.

Woodley vs. Luque
Tyron Woodley, DEC
I very well eat these words hard, but I think this is the classic case of recency bias, usually when you hear that said it's about some big KO in the last fight but in this case it's the lack of activity in his last 3 fights. By the way....burns colby and usman, tyron couldn't get the counters he was looking for against the next gen top guys. Luque is not a top guy. Dudes really good, but not up there with those other 3 names. He's also a predominantly striker. Here's more recency bias tyrons roots are in wrestling. And that's what I believe he will use in this fight to win mostly by control time with some decent ground strikes. There is for sure value on tyron at +200 but there's clear narrative to how luque sends him packing so I'll be willing to predict tyron but probably won't lay money down. I might but probably not. I do think the bet on this fight is over 2.5 for -165. Or riskier to do -140 for it to go to decision. But I like the former because it will cover a luque late finish. Both guys really hard to finish. I think tyron or luque by decision prop could be another good riskier spot depending on which way you lean.

Miocic vs. N'Gannou II
Stipe Miocic, DEC
This will fight will play out in a similar fashion as the first. N'Gannou is one of the hardest hitters in the UFC but Miocic's boxing credentials are often underrated and when you pair that with his superior wrestling, there is only one outcome. FOTN
Woodley vs. Luque
Vicente Luque, TKO, R3
The old Woodley is gone and doesn't pose much of a threat these days. Luque will take advantage of this to try and move further up the rankings with a win here
Almeida vs. O'Malley
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R1
O'Malley is the only "undefeated" 12-1 fighter I've ever known but besides what I think of his attitude it doesn't change the fact that Almeida was hand picked for him to get the O'Malley hype train back on track
Robertson vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, DEC
Maverick will control all 3 rounds here
Mullarkey vs. Worthy
Khama Worthy, TKO, R3
Worthy should get the KO but Mullarkey won't be as much as a push over as you'd expect
Menifield vs. Cherant
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R1
Cherant isn't ready for the UFC yet
Gooden vs. Nurmagomedov
Abubakar Nurmagomedov, DEC
I'm not convinced that Nurmagomedov is going to be anything special but he should get past Gooden here
Bukauskas vs. Oleksiejczuk
Michał Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R2
This is the closest fight on the card yet almost certain to end in a KO
Young vs. Morales
Omar Morales, DEC
Morales should get a UD win here
Azaitar vs. Barriault
Abu Azaitar, DEC
Azaitar is good but he's not a finisher

Almeida vs. O'Malley
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R1
While I do think o'malley was overhyped this is a pretty tailor made win for him. looked huge next to him. Almeda has not shown that great of defense standing and looked pretty bad after his long lay off against martinez. O'malley will catch him early with some sort of counter and drop him. I think he is pretty parlayable for betting. The sean KO prop is a pretty good look +110 but I can see him trying to find a counter and almedia knowing and respect ing that sean can KO him and tries to stay on the outside and clinch for o'malley win by decision but I think KO more likely.

Robertson vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, TKO, R2
Not super confident here but I think miranda will keep improving and looks considerably more muscles at stare off. Gillian show chin issues before so I'll say miranda by a tko where gillian is sorta fighting back but the refs doesn't want her to keep taking damage. Gillian ripe for a sub here if she ends up being light-years better on ground. With that said I like the FDGTD bet at +120.

I'll be honest other replacement dude looks dangerous with the size and I get people taking a stab at +300 or whatever. But I think too short notice too much step up in competition and menifeld well prepared to get a KO.

Young vs. Morales
Omar Morales, TKO, R2
Huge size difference but shane does have the broader hips which may help him if he needs to clinch. I don't think shane's striking is on par with giga at all. I think omar will win most of this fight and either KO since shane did just get put out not too long ago or just 30-27. I think he is a good parlay piece at -200 ish

Miocic vs. N'Gannou II
Francis N'Gannou, TKO, R3
stipe is a beast and no doubt the more technical fighter... but n'gannou's touch of death can most certainly land and stipe has to fight perfectly for at LEAST 3 rounds to win maybe more. n'gannou's cardio hasn't ever really been tested that much except against stipe himself and i'm sure it's only gotten better over the last 3 years
Woodley vs. Luque
Vicente Luque, TKO, R3
Luque is a killer!! I'd say he wins a decision but not sure how well woodley's body is holding up and he's been slowing down more and more every fight. i think he might want to consider changing things up when he loses this one
Almeida vs. O'Malley
Sean O'Malley, TKO, R2
they definitely gave this fight as a bounceback for o'malley and he has all the tools to get a stunning KO win, if he falters again though it's likely the sugar show will lose all steam
Mullarkey vs. Worthy
Khama Worthy, SUB, R3
mullarkey showed a lot of grit and toughness against riddell, and while he has been KO'd before it's been years since it's happened. worthy has some tricky sub finishes and he's shown a willingness to sell out for one in the third. i expect this fight to be a banger
Menifield vs. Cherant
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R2
cherant has a lot of sub finishes, but menifield has never been subbed and his power can definitely turn cherant's lights out
Young vs. Morales
Omar Morales, DEC
even though morales lost against giga he had some shining moments, and while young is coming off a KO loss, morales hasn't had a KO win in over 3 years. im expecting a unanimous 30-27 dec
