Dolidze vs. Staropoli
Roman Dolidze, DEC
Staropoli has the heart he showed in his fight against Shalikov but simply Dolidze is much bigger in reach and walk-around weight. Dolidze has not shown good cardio in his last fights but he only has 9 fights as a professional, this fight is his opportunity to continue growing and improve his Fight IQ in grappling.
Ponzinibbio vs. Baeza
Santiago Ponzinibbio, TKO, R2
Baeza is a good fighter for the future, but Ponzinibbio will be his test to show if he is truly ready for ranked fighters. Santiago had been away for a long time and certainly the antibiotics and passing a case of Covid reduced his physical condition. Baeza is good on the ground and striking but Brown managed to hurt him and if not for the Mouthpiece pause the immortal could snatch the undefeated. Ponzinibbio managed to knock out Magny and many more on his way to rise in the rankings, in this fight whoever connects first can turn off the lights on his opponent.
Todorović vs. Rodrigues
Duško Todorović, TKO, R2
Duško should fight smartly and win via ground and pound. If he fights like Punahale with no guard and only betting on head movement to dodge punches he can get himself into trouble alone.
De La Rosa vs. Lipski
Ariane Lipski, DEC
It is incredible that De La Rosa is such a favorite at odds. Lipski is a former KSW champion and has the upper hand in striking, and with her move to ATT hers probably her takedown defense is much improved. Montana De La Rosa took a beating in her loss to Viviana Araujo, she took a beating in the clinch in her draw against a BJJ Fighter like Mayra Silva Bueno (but the result was due to the deduction of points in the first round). For this fight I don't see any parameter that will save De La Rosa from defeat.

Prediction Comments
Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 440 Points | Tied for 1052nd
Boser vs. Latifi
Ilir Latifi, DEC
Latifi has many factors against him: He is close to 40 years old, has a 3-loss streak and if he loses he will probably be released from the UFC. But I think these factors will motivate Latifi to return to the win column. Boser handles a higher volume of strikes, but Latifi will put his takedown defense to the test with his good wrestling. If Ilir Latifi does not deplete his energy as quickly as against Corey Anderson I think he can take the victory through takedowns, control and ground and pound using a strategy very similar to the one he used against Tyson Pedro.
Trinaldo vs. Salikhov
Muslim Salikhov, DEC
Francisco '' Massaranduba '' Trinaldo, as his nickname says, is a tough tree, difficult to topple. Trinaldo's last fight was a back and forth where Herbert was close to finishing it for most of the second round, but in the third round the Brazilian landed the impressive knockout. This time he faces the '' Kung Fu King '' Muslim Shalikov, a Combat Sanda legend who has a great arsenal of punches and kicks. I think that because of the variety of his attacks and the greater volume of strikes, the Russian can take the fight by decision. The opportunity for the Brazilian veteran is to try to knock down Shalikov since the Russian has always been vulnerable on the ground, but because of his Muay Thai base I am sure that Trinaldo will choose for the fight to be fully standing and this will be something that will favor Shalikov.
Zalal vs. Woodson
Youssef Zalal, DEC
Zalal had a good momentum until his defeat against Topuria, despite having good skills in his last fight he showed a lot of lack of confidence when he could not bring down Choi, for his part Woodson is undefeated until he was subdued by Erosa in a surprising comback of '' Juicy J ''. Both fighters are used to always dominating and find it difficult to rebound when an opponent stands up to them and complicates their strategy. Zalal has a good chance of winning but it depends a lot on how effective he is in cutting distance and taking down.
Puelles vs. Leavitt
Jordan Leavitt, SUB, R1
Leavitt is not Felipe Silva or "Anderson Silva look alive" with 0 takedown defense Marcos Mariano so there won't be a hail mary kneebar like against Silva or a dominance performance like against Mariano. Leavitt is very dangerous on the ground not only because of his grappling but also the way he slams his opponents to the ground. "The Monkey King" is going to demolish Puelles in the first round, the question is whether it will be via submission, slam or ground and pound.

Fiorot striking too good and aggressive, but I think Tabatha has a good chance at a Sub rd 1. Otherwise she will be beat up for 3 rounds. But if Fiorot needs improvement anywhere it’s definitely on the ground, and Tabatha is a judo black belt, a black belt in jiu-jitsu, and a national Muay Thai champion.

Ponzinibbio vs. Baeza
Miguel Baeza, DEC
As a long-time huge fan of Ponz, I HATE this fight because I'm also rapidly becoming a big fan of Baeza.
Amirkhani vs. Kirk
Kamuela Kirk, TKO, R3
Kirk seems to be a popular underdog pick and I just plain don't like Makwan
De La Rosa vs. Lipski
Montana De La Rosa, DEC
It would be better if Lipski won so of course she won't
Boser vs. Latifi
Ilir Latifi, TKO, R2
I am clearly biased here and almost certainly rationalizing but despite Boser seeming to do well in going the distiance with Arlovski and Gane, I notice he had 3 losses and a draw to opponents with very Russian looking names so hoping that shows a weakness vs. good wrestlers.
Trinaldo vs. Salikhov
Muslim Salikhov, TKO, R2
Salikhov needs an impressive win if he's going to contend as he's already 36.
Patrick vs. Jones
Mason Jones, TKO, R2
First truly interesting fight on the card
Fiorot vs. Ricci
Manon Fiorot, TKO, R2
I would personally find it hilarious if the French fighter lost but ....
Zalal vs. Woodson
Sean Woodson, DEC
This fight needs to be in Texas. Best possible outcome is Zabit makes a surprise appearance, chokes out Zalal before Woodson comes out and then batters Woodson into a bloody pulp announcing he is back. We get an instant contender and the UFC gets to cut 2 fighters who interest me very little, if at all.

Bruh I think Baeza going to sleep, he nearly got knocked out by my beloved war dog the immortal Matt Brown. Ponz is a way better and cleaner striker with way more experience and has beaten top legit guys, and not just beat them but put them face first on the canvas like Neil magny and Gunnar Nelson. I think it’s still just a little too early to trust in Baeza and buy stock. Either way I doubt we need the judges for this one.
