GANE is technical but VOLKOV way more technical and his height will give him advantage, if VOLKOV brings kicking game it's easy for him..

"KHAMZAT CHIMAEV" will be double champ holding 170lb and 185lb belts...

Volkov seems more acurate with is punch but Gane as a lot better defence. I know Gane does not hit as hard as much of the division so he will probably not rock Vokov but he will touch him a lot and maybe bring some takedown if needed to mix things up. Gane by decision seem obvious but he may win by sub. Blaydes repeatedly take Volkov down before gasing out but he has no jiu-jitsu to finish this.

Moicano vs. Herbert
Renato Moicano, SUB, R3
Herbert has a considerable height and reach advantage in addition to having good KO power. Renato has good striking, but I think it is convenient for him to look for a grappling match more since from the exchanges he is Herbert's strong point. If Moicano uses the strategy of being effective in striking (with leg kicks or body punch), he seeks the Muay Thai clinch and taking the fight to the ground, possibly getting a rear-naked choke in the second half of the fight. But if he goes out to trade like he did against Fiziev he probably ends up the same way.

Prachnio vs. Villanueva
Marcin Prachnio, TKO, R1
Parchinio gives me the same feeling as Julian Erosa, to obtain his victory he must first pass the early thrill of his opponents' punch, despite the fact that his majority of victories are by KO in the first round in the UFC the longer he makes his fights will have better results. I think based on this and the fact that Parchinio is a Kyokushin Black Belt and trains in the Netherlands, I believe that he can get through the initial storm against "Hurricane Ike" and then get the TKO at the end of the same first round. Like Chase Sherman and Jordan Wright, it is convenient for Parchinio to clinch Villanueva, as he can not only hurt and cut him with elbows or knees but also protects himself from Villanueva's hooks.

Avila vs. Stoliarenko
Julia Avila, DEC
Stoliarenko reminds me in many ways of Chase Hooper, both are fighters with a great level of grappling but it is necessary to work a lot in the other aspects. At least in the UFC, Stoliarenko has been unable to complete a takedown and his strategy to find the armbar has been pull the guard. Like vs. Kunitskaya, against Avila, faces a fighter who surpasses her considerably in striking and who probably knows how to score her with ground and pound when she already guards her in search of the armbar. I think Avila's strategy will be to use combinations of blows from the distance, use the clinch and if she reaches the ground to score with the ground and pound in addition to getting up when necessary.

Fili vs. Pineda
Andre Fili, DEC
Excellent matchmaking, hard to believe that this fight is the opener of the event. This fight can be an instant classic, as both are very skilled at striking. For Pineda it would be very useful to mix his striking with takedowns since they were very useful against Herbert Burns (BJJ Black Belt), For Fili it would be very useful to exploit the difference in height and reach and try head kicks that were very useful against opponents those it exceeded in size. I think this fight will be the same as Fili vs. Myles Jury or Fili vs. Charles Jourdain, fights back and forth but that Fili will win by a small margin

I agree with all of your points, I think Avila and Fili are live for finishes... and Prachnio could win a decision here.

brandonk You're right. Avila proved against Mazany that she can end fights, Storialenko's Pulling Guard strategy exposes her to a TKO for ground and pound if she gets fatigued in the second half of the fight or also if Avila manages to hurt her and follow up on her. Fili could catch Pineda at any time with a Head Kick or a good one-two because Pineda is used to fighting off guard. And with regard to Parchinio it seems to me that if he and his coaches consider fighting from a distance (reaching decisions or looking for a late finish), Parchinio will obtain better results in the UFC.

Gane being the more complete fighter doesn't always means he will win. But he seems sensible enough to use all his weapons if he gets put in a bad spot on the feet with Volkov.

Michel Prazeres vs Shavkat Rakhmonov
Shavkat Rakhmonov , SUB, R2
From what I've seen of these 2 dudes, Prazeres is very small in height and reach compared to Shavkat.
Shavkat will keep the pressure and hurt Prazeres. Prazeres will than close the distance to save himself and when hes tired in R2, Shavkat will find the SUB. Prazeres will have his first finish loss.

I find the ground stuff interesting to think about, Gane haven't really grappled anyone since Dontle Mayes and the other guy in his debut. He tried to against Rozenstuck, but was ineffective landing 2 out of 14 takedown. Volkov is also a hard guy to submet or land ground and pound on as not a lot of people  or no one but Volkov can survive long with Curtis Blaydes or Fabricio Werdum on top of them for large periods of the fight and Volkov gassed them both out trying to finish him, Also Volkov cultaveted 10kg of mussle, so he be harder to takedown

I think Gane have to really get good time takedown and not just spam wresling, Or it could be detrimental to his cardio because Volkov will make him work for them

not confident in this one at all really, both guys coming off a 2 year layoff so its to say where each guy is going to be at in their careers. leaning Medeiros because he has the experience advantage and i think he'll be the one pressing the action, walking forward and if he can utilise his 5 inch reach advantage i do think he can get it done

Rosa vs. Jaynes
Justin Jaynes, TKO, R1
i see a large majority picking rosa in this one, i do think it's fairly close. Jaynes is actually pretty good at being able to close the distance and land his power shots and on someone like Rosa who has his hands low, i do think Jaynes can crowd Rosa and get the finish. However, Rosa can absolutely win if he keeps this at range using his kicks and footwork. just got a feeling Jaynes lands the big punch tho

Gane vs. Volkov
Ciryl Gane, DEC
Outside of a Championship fight, this is possibly the best or at least, most interesting fight that could be made in the Heavyweight division. Alexander Volkov is the harder hitter of the two in my opinion but Ciryl Gane is the smarter, more tactical fighter and once he's figured out Volkov's gameplan, he should be able to control the range of the fight and counter Volkov's attacks and get the win.

Dalby vs. Means
Nicolas Dalby, DEC
I'm surprised to see Nicolas Dalby as the betting underdog but I'll take advantage of that and put a tenner on it!

Moicano vs. Herbert
Jai Herbert, TKO, R2
A close fight and I am worried about Jai Herbert's ground game and he'll be the worse of the two if it goes there but he was amazing in Cage Warriors and is a much better fighter than he looked on his UFC debut against Francisco Trinaldo who was a tough first opponant so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a win here as he's certainly got the motivation to do so. As for the method, I think he'll need to find a KO if he's gonna get the win but with his power, a KO win is never out of the question.

Prachnio vs. Villanueva
Ike Villanueva, TKO, R1
Marcin Prachnio got a good and unexpected win against Khalil Rountree at UFC 257 but I'm still very suspicious of his chin, especially against a "kill or be killed" fighter like Ike Villanueva. Villanueva can be inconsistent in his performance but there's no denying his power.

Tough fight to call. Neither of these guys is exactly burning it up right now. I'll take Boser based on size and age, but this isn't my most confident moment.

Marques vs. Nzechukwu
Kennedy Nzechukwu, TKO, R2
Another tough call, but these guys are both on the upswing. Rare to see two light heavies with these physical tools, but I'm taking Nzechukwu with that amazing reach. Should be a heck of a fight.
