Oleinik is too old and Spivak is underrated

Julian Erosa, SUB, R2
I think the issue of height and reach will be a determining factor in this fight: Choi in the UFC has only faced fighters who were ahead of him in height (for example Gavin Tucker had an incredible 21 cm of difference in reach and 15 cm of difference in height) and also strangely enough Erosa in the UFC was only knocked out by fighters who he exceeded in height by at least 10 cm. For this fight both Julian Erosa and Seung Woo Choi have the '' opportunity '' to face an opponent who has a height and reach more or less similar and even this being the first time that Choi faces an opponent taller than him ( Erosa is 2 cm taller). In the past Erosa has had good results against opponents who lose their size advantage when facing him (as in his fight against Mehdi Baghdad in TUF, Jamall Emmers in DWCS or in his return against Sean Woodson). It is clear the fact that Erosa has been knocked out several times in the past and we always have the question of whether the next opponent will be able to do it, I do not doubt that striking is Choi's main weapon but I consider that the real moment of danger for Erosa it would be at the beginning of the fight. Erosa is superior in cardio, strike volume, wrestling and grappling so he clearly has the tools to get his third underdog win in a row.
Parisian vs. Martinez
Roque Martinez, DEC
Parisian looked empty after his first round against Parker Porter, where his punching volume and power waned after the second round. Martinez may not be the most talented heavyweight or the fittest, but he showed great cardio against Mayes. Interestingly, Mayes had a lot of trouble against Martinez in the third round because he was visibly more tired. Parisian entered the UFC for being an effective knockout artist (achieving 2 first round KOs in the DWCS), but I consider that Martinez has a better jaw than Parker and if he did not show improvements in his cardio I think Martinez would have a considerable advantage in the fight after finish the first round.

Erosa needs to come forward, invest in the body shots and wear on Choi. Come with a similar game plan he had in the Woodson fight

Dan Ige, DEC
Ige's been on a roll. Considering how Ortega put Zombie down a couple times in his last fight, I wouldn't be surprised if Ige's able to get the KO.
Oleinik vs. Spivak
Aleksei Oleinik, SUB, R2
Admittedly, this is a bit of an emotional pick because I love Aleksei. But, considering Spivak is a primary wrestler/grappler, I think we see this on the ground at some point. Spivak isn't a bad grappler, but Oleinik is a 4th degree black belt, so this pick isn't far off. There's levels!
Vera vs. Grant
Marlon Vera, SUB, R2
Considering the way Davey Grant leaves his chin all the way up when he throws his strikes, I'm so surprised he's never been knocked out. But all 4 of his losses are by sub, and Chito's gonna bring this to the ground and put that black belt to use
Erosa vs. Choi
Seung Woo Choi, DEC
I'm glad the odds are tight on this one cause it's definitely a close fight. I wouldn't put money on this pick, that's for sure.
Turman vs. Silva
Wellington Turman, SUB, R2
I'm surprised the picks are so skewed here... 82% for Silva?? He's been out 2 and a half years. I think if Wellington is able to take this down, he can find the sub
Negumereanu vs. Camur
Aleksa Camur, DEC
Sheesh, look at that padded record for Negumereanu!
Jandiroba vs. Murata
Virna Jandiroba, SUB, R1
Looking into Murata's record, I was so glad to see her only loss was by submission. Gave me way more confidence in this pick. Jandiroba's striking has definitely improved, but I don't think she'll need to use it. She's insane on the ground!
Parisian vs. Martinez
Roque Martinez, DEC
I feel like I'm picking a lot underdogs on this card, but tbh I think Roque has fought better competition, so I'm going with him. Parisian's record is a bit padded.
Procópio vs. O'Neill
Casey O'Neill, DEC
Tough pick! I might change this... Procópio's ground game might be what gets her a decision

Seung Woo Choi, TKO, R3
I'm excited to see Choi fight someone who wont attempt to wrestle-**** him. Erosa and Choi are all action fighters and both seem to be more comfortable when they are striking, especially Choi. Three out of Choi's four fights in the UFC he has seen at least 9 takedown attempts against him and Erosa has never attempted more than 6 TD's in a fight so it looks we will get another all action striking battle here and I think that favors Choi. Choi is more technically sound, throws striaghter punches and uses his height better. Choi also has the tools to handle Erosa's pressure game as he uses all 8 limbs and is nasty with his elbows when his opponents are close. I'm picking Choi by 3rd round KO here, I think he lands too much for Julian and gets him out of there.

I think this card has a lot of fun fight and I think this card is going to have a lot of fun finishes. I'm surprise that people aren't talking about it, But to fair this card is filled with under rated fighter like Dan Ige, Sergay Spivack and Chito Vera etc. I'm actually quite exited for this card, I'm quite exited for this card.Hope you enjoy

Spivak strong enough to keep this standing and from there he picks Oleinik apart with his better striking and gets the finish

Dan Ige, DEC
Man I love zombie but I have to pick Ige here. Just watched the Barboza fight again and I'm really impressed with how tough this dude is (especially after seeing Edson scramble Burgos' brain). Going with the younger, faster and more active fighter here.
P.S. Also noticed Ige/Barboza & Song/Vera were on the same card. Two if the worst judged fights of 2020 IMO.

Dan Ige, DEC
can see ige just being a bit more active, using his speed advantage and shooting in for some takedowns. Ortega was able to make Zombie really gun shy just sticking on the outside and going for takedowns, Ige is faster than Ortega so if he can show some good in and out movement and land more in the exchanges he picks up the decision

MAKE DAT MONEY!!!
Roque Martinez and Wellington Turman are two underdogs that can hit their path to victory if they get on their game plan from the get go. I think Josh Parisian is an absolute mess of a HW (so is Roque but I like his hand speed compared to Josh Parisian) and Bruno Silva has been out for 2 years due to an USADA suspension and from what I taped from his M1-Global bouts I feel like if Turman fights Silva like he did against Marcus Perez he snags two maybe all three rounds.

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 375 Points | Tied for 2016th
Dan Ige, DEC
This is the hardest fight to call on the card but I’m leaning Ige. Ige just knocked out Gavin Tucker in less than 30 seconds. TKZ is so hittable and Ortega proved that last fight.
Oleinik vs. Spivak
Sergey Spivak, TKO, R1
It sucks seeing Oleinik get old but his time is almost up and this will probably be his last fight in the UFC. Spivak will keep this standing and he will ko Aleksei.
Vera vs. Grant
Davey Grant, DEC
Everyone is sleeping on Grant once again. Vera has fought way tougher competition but Davey Grant is no joke. I’m going to say Grant by decision because there’s no way he is knocking out Vera. Imagine he does though..
Erosa vs. Choi
Julian Erosa, TKO, R1
This is another fight that’s hard to call but I’m leaning Erosa. He looked very impressive in his last fight against Nate Landwehr and I could see him making this a crazy fight with flying knees involved.
Turman vs. Silva
Bruno Silva, TKO, R1
Truman isn’t that bad and he’s still young but he got knocked out by Andrew Sanchez. Nobody gets knocked by Sanchez. Silva will ko him.
Lima vs. Brown
Dhiego Lima, TKO, R2
Lima is nothing like his brother. This Lima is a can but he should be able to finish an old Matt Brown at this point. Good luck if you bet on this one.
Negumereanu vs. Camur
Aleksa Camur, DEC
Camur isn’t very impressive but Negumereanu isn’t very good either. I’m taking Camur to win this by just wrestling the whole time but I wouldn’t be shocked if Negumereanu pulls off the upset.
Jandiroba vs. Murata
Virna Jandiroba, SUB, R1
Murata looked so good in her debut but if Jandiroba gets this to the ground it’s all over and I think that’s what will happen.
Semelsberger vs. Williams
Matt Semelsberger, TKO, R1
I would be very shocked if this fight gets out of R1. Williams has fought way better competition so far but I’m leaning Semelsberger here. Semelsberger has better wrestling than Khaos in my opinion and if this does hit the mat I think Semelsberger will do better.
Parisian vs. Martinez
Josh Parisian, DEC
I have no idea who will win this one but I’m leaning Parisian. Parisian will throw out more punches and just piece up Martinez the whole fight and win a decision.
Silva vs. Glenn
Ricky Glenn, DEC
I think Glenn takes this one. It’s going to be very close but Glenn has some good wins on his record.
Procópio vs. O'Neill
Casey O'Neill, DEC
O’Neill fought Dobson in her UFC debut which doesn’t really mean much but she is more well rounded than Procòpio but I wouldn’t be shocked if Lara ends up winning this. Big step up in competition for Casey here.
