Gane is my guy - how many Muay Thai artists do you see with that kind of submission record? Look for him to show the same kind of patience with Volkov as he did with Big Boi.

I'll take the Banger.

I'm picking anyone named after Tamerlane on general principle. Check the screen name.

Marques vs. Nzechukwu
Kennedy Nzechukwu, TKO, R3
This is a classic striker vs grappler matchup. Danilo sells out for the takedowns, in his 2 UFC fights he shot a takedown in both fights in the first 30 seconds. Danilo is a solid wrestler and grappler who trains with Demian Maia in Sao Paolo. Danilo knows who he is, and isn't going to pretend he's a striker in this matchup, he will use wrestling, early and often to try to get this fight to the ground and keep position over Kennedy and eventually get a sub. Kennedy, on the other hand is a massive light heavyweight who has an 83 inch reach, heavy hands, great conditioning along with great TD defense and a great get up game. In order to win this fight Marques is going to have to wrestle and Kennedy isnt going to make it easy for him with his almost 80% TD defense and less than 10% control time against. I see Marques having some success with the wrestling early, eventually gassing out and getting KOed in the 3rd by Kennedy.

Gane vs. Volkov
Ciryl Gane, DEC
Main event time and it’s a good one, Ciryl Gane vs Alexander Volkov. Now onto the prediction, I have Ciryl Gane by decision. I think that he’ll be too quick and light on his feet for Volkov who’s someone that usually finds a lot of success against people who like to stand in front of their opponents. I also think that Gane’s leg kicks will be a big weapon against a guy like Volkov who stands decently heavy on his lead leg looking to counter and snipe his opponents. Finally, although I don’t think it’ll be used that much, Gane will also have the takedown threat like he did against Rozenstruik given that he’s the better wrestler and is nearly as big as Volkov which could help with takedowns that require a bit more strength. And although Volkov has shown to have a very “Unpassable '' guard, it also leads him to getting controlled on the ground a lot more.
St. Preux vs. Boser
Tanner Boser, DEC
Enter Your CommentsTanner Boser vs OSP in the Heavyweight division. I believe Tanner Boser, having been in a fight/camp not too long ago will help him a lot in getting the win. Looking at OSP’s last and only heavyweight fight against Big Ben, I must say he looked very slow, which is a pretty big red flag considering that Boser is, in my opinion, one of the fastest heavyweights out there. And also given that OSP usually finds better success in striking exchanges when countering (like against Shogun or Alonzo) or when sniping (like against Corey), fighting someone as fast and much faster than him is going to be terrible for those two striking traits. Now the reason why I originally thought this was closer than I originally expected is the fact that if OSP gets a Takedown, he could snatch a submission and get his hand raised. But thinking about it more in depth, Boser coming off a loss against Latifi, one of the better wrestlers and a much better one than OSP, and that’s most likely what his training rooted around when he was preparing for Latifi. Meaning that Boser’s takedown defense will be much better than before and I know he got taken down and controlled on the ground by Latifi for two rounds, but Latifi is also a much better wrestler than OSP. So with all that said, I don’t think OSP’s chances to win are that high and I strongly believe that Boser will win by decision come Saturday night.

Yeah Shavkat is a monster who has a 7 inch height advantage, 10 in reach. At a respectable line hovering between -260 and -285 or so.

Avila vs. Stoliarenko
Julia Avila, TKO, R2
Avila is the way better striker than Julija. If she can back Julija up against the fence and start unloading with her power shots and volume she can get the finish. Obviously the main concern is the grappling of Stoliarenko but she's nowhere near as good as eubanks when it comes to wrestling, which is why i think Avila will be able to keep this one standing and get the finish

Prachnio needs to be active and control the pace of the fight with his activity. he did this so well against Khalil and he'll do this successfully again. im just concerned with the defence of Prachnio, especially in boxing exchanges, his hands are always low so Ike can crack him hard but either way i think Prachnio will go out there and out point him

Alves vs. Wells
Warlley Alves, SUB, R1
Alves has the advantage in most areas. Wells is a solid wrestler with explosive striking but his striking isnt as good as Alves'. Alves is explosive too so its about who can take control early and i think Alves can do that, he's gonna force wells to shoot for a takedown and he then catches him in a guillotine

Gane vs. Volkov
Ciryl Gane, DEC
The Gane Train is going to outclass Volkov, Probably get caught once but make this one look pretty easy on the feet and be able to defend any take down. We are looking at the next HW contender for the strap.
St. Preux vs. Boser
OSP, DEC
OSP First time at heavyweight, slight chance of getting his **** slept, but wouldn't be surprised if he manages with take Boser down, sniff his jockstrap for three rounds and walk out of there with a UD.
Fili vs. Pineda
Andre Fili, DEC
Awesome fight, I think Fili can maybe get a late round stoppage due to a submission but i think this one is going to be a split decision. Really liked the way Fili fought against Bryce Mitchell would not be surprised if he caught the Victory here.
Dalby vs. Means
Tim Means, TKO, RD 2
Dalby definitely the more well rounded fighter, I think Means can put a stop to the Dalby Hype, with a left hook and some "Super-necessary" ground and pound to finish it off.
