Johnny Munoz Jr., DEC
Simmons' whole style is based on looking for takedowns but the issue with that is Munoz is extremely good off his back and would welcome the takedowns all day. Munoz likes to throw a lot of kicks and I think he frustrates Simmons a bit with them because he's taller. Munoz has some alright takedowns, he might have a hard time taking this fight down to the mat because Simmons is strong in the clinch too but I do think Munoz can out point Simmons with his kicks

Derrick Lewis, DEC
Ciryl Gane will use his footwork and distance management to pick Lewis apart for 5 rounds, maybe even getting a late finish if he attacks the body.

Have we overrated the meme of Derrick Lewis?

And if we zoom even further out and look at the last guy with a competent ground game Lewis fought, DC was passing guard like it was a practice. I don't expect this to go to the ground much, but Gane has great submissions. If it goes there, I dont think Lewis could do anything to stop a heel hook or something.
Gane will be out of range, destroying Lewis' legs and popping him with jabs every time Derrick tries to step in. When Lewis makes fun of himself and says it'd be pathetic for the heavyweights if they let him be champ, I kind of think that's true. Skilled heavyweights are supposed to be able to solve this puzzle.

I think the KO over Blaydes was a little flukey. Blaydes dipped his head and Lewis let up an uppercut....I dont see a guy like Blaydes making mistakes like that too often but that's how this sport goes.
I do think Gane wins..he's just so precise and calculated...hard to catch a guy like that.
And @Erison....I would love to see this fight go to the ground...but I think Gane would need to be in danger to try and take Lewis down..He can piece him up standing and avoid the big power. Gane ground game +Lewis get up game would be cool to see what happens. Is Gane strong enough to keep Lewis down if he gets him down? Nobody else has been able to that I can think of.
Also..I'm in on Chiesa as a dog play. This man is always under rated but he's been putting it together even though he's been in the booth a lot lately. He made Neil Magny look like a regional scene fighter. I keep fading Luque and I keep getting it wrong...but I think Chiesa can enforce a grapple heavy gameplan and possible tire Luque out.

Gane throws a lot of good body kicks. He throws the front kick to the body like it's a jab.

Victoria Leonardo, DEC
I like her in this one, I think her aggressive striking can give Gatto some issues on the feet, her striking is a bit poor however she's very young so she could've improved a lot since her last fight. Leonardo should try and keep this one standing, Gatto has some good subs off her back and Leonardo can absolutely win this one if she avoids going for takedowns and avoid getting taken down herself
