Johnny Walker, TKO, R2
I think Santos is dangerous but Walker has so many efficient weapons and knows how to use them he gets the TKO
Holland vs. Daukaus
Kevin Holland, SUB, R2
I think Holland has a lot to prove after going 0-2 in his last bouts he's done some good training and now he's ready to go
Price vs. Oliveira
Niko Price, TKO, R2
This is gonna be a fight for the 8mins of the bout Niko needs the win he's a crowd favorite he's still hungry Alex is gonna bring it expect fireworks
Cirkunov vs. Jotko
Krzysztof Jotko, TKO, R2
Another heavy hander fight both come at you with power I believe Jotko gets it done
Solecki vs. Gordon
Joe Solecki, SUB, R2
This fight doesn't make it to the judges gordon is gonna come in swing and push the pace and Solecki is gonna capitalize
Shevchenko vs. O'Neill
Casey O'Neill, TKO, R2
I never wanna go against the Bullet sisters but Casey is a dog in there she's raw and gritty she's looking to keep that streak going
Mullarkey vs. Smith
Devonte Smith, TKO, R2
I can't believe this fight is on a prelim card this is gonna be a show both have knockout power and know how to use it someone's going night night

Kevin Holland, TKO, R2
Definitely think Holland gets back into the win column in this one. Daukaus is a solid grappler, decent boxer but his takedowns aren't anywhere near as good as Holland's last two opponents and Daukaus can get hit. Holland is a very good striker, I can see him hurting Daukaus in striking exchanges and maybe we see some TDD improvements from Holland too

Johnny Walker, TKO, R1
Jones and Texeira did career-altering amounts of damage to Santos and he hasn't been the same since. Walker is still improving at 29 years old and I think he can use his massive reach advantage to put Santos out early.
Holland vs. Daukaus
Kevin Holland, DEC
Holland has beaten 5-6 fighters who I would consider to be better than Daukaus, if he shows up in this one it should be no problem.
Price vs. Oliveira
Niko Price, SUB, R1
I'm compltely shocked that only 6% are picking price by SUBMISSION! Oliveira's kryptonite is the club n' sub and Price is so quick to do exacly that! I understand that the fight might get called when Cowboy hits the ground, but I wish I was in Vegas again this week because Price by Sub is +1100 at some books right now and that's juicy as hell
Cirkunov vs. Jotko
Misha Cirkunov, SUB, R1
You have to KO Cirkunov to beat him, and Jotko doesn't knock out anyone.
Hernandez vs. Breeden
Alexander Hernandez, TKO, R2
Even if this is somehow tit-for-tat on the feet, Hernandez should have the wrestling and grappling advantage
Solecki vs. Gordon
Joe Solecki, DEC
Gordon's win over Fishgold is aging like an opened packet of goat's cheese
Shevchenko vs. O'Neill
Casey O'Neill, SUB, R2
Grappler vs kickboxer, tale as old as time
Rosa vs. Correia
Karol Rosa, DEC
If you bet on this you hate money
Andrade vs. Pirrello
Douglas Andrade, DEC
Andrade has been in the UFC long enough that it's fairly safe to trust the public's assessment of the fight.
Young vs. Egger
Stephanie Egger, DEC
I'm literally scratching my head looking at this one.

Walker vs Santos
Santos KO round 1
Should be a banger but santos has dogs in his hands!
Daukaus vs holland
Daukaus Dec.
Y'all are sleeping on daukaus and over hyping holland.
Hernandez's vs breeden
Hernandez's KO round 1
Not a whole lot to say here.
Cirkinov vs jotko
Cirkinov sub round 3
You never know what your getting with misha.of hes on spot tonight he should be able to takedown and control jotko with relative ease
Cowboy Oliviera vs Price
Price TKO round 3
Another banger. Not sure what happens but price is a bit younger so I'll stick with him

Thiago Santos, TKO, R1
I don't have any confidence in either of these guys. I think this is a pretty sad main event.
Holland vs. Daukaus
Kyle Daukaus, DEC
Daukaus by wrestling.
Price vs. Oliveira
Niko Price, DEC
I know Oliveira has like a dozen kids, and that's why he keeps coming back to fight, but I wish he'd retire.
Cirkunov vs. Jotko
Misha Cirkunov, SUB, R1
Fun style matchup.
Hernandez vs. Breeden
Alexander Hernandez, TKO, R1
I don't think even Factory X can cause Hernandez to lose this matchup but I'm sure they'll try.
Solecki vs. Gordon
Joe Solecki, SUB, R1
This is the hardest one for me to pick. I lean Gordon by decision but Solecki by sub has to be pretty close to the same chances. I'm back and forth
Perez vs. Eduardo
Alejandro Perez, DEC
I can't believe this fight made it onto a UFC card.

Thiago Santos, TKO, R1
This fight is just chaos, despite the knee injuries from Santos he still hits extremely hard and he's still fast. Walker just leaves himself so exposed so it's hard for me to choose him against Santos because of that. Unless Walker has fixed some defensive issues I think he's getting knocked out, but Walker has the ability ti KO absolutely anybody, he might be the hardest hitter at 205 and he just needs to land clean against Santos. It's not gonna be the prettiest fights in terms of technique but it'll be fun, I see Santos landing a big hook countering of Walker's kicks

Thiago Santos, DEC
expecting walker to look godly for 5 minutes before he is forced to play at thiago's pace for the rest of the fight.
Holland vs. Daukaus
Kevin Holland, DEC
honestly think this "holland can't wrestle" attitude is overblown and disrespectful to brunson/vettori. i'm not sure daukaus will be able to really set up his td entries when he's at such a reach disadvantage unsure if he has the striking chops to work his way in.
Price vs. Oliveira
Niko Price, DEC
guess i figure price has the power to keep alex from committing to things, but not so sure we see a ko.
Cirkunov vs. Jotko
Krzysztof Jotko, TKO, R2
feels ridiculous picking jotko by ko with a grand total of 1 ufc ko, but i'm gonna do it based on the matchup. idk how misha is gonna look at 185 and i'm kinda expecting him to be noticeably slower than other mw's. jotko is pretty well rounded so i'm expecting him to stay outside and defend td's when needed.
Hernandez vs. Breeden
Alexander Hernandez, DEC
possible we see alex hernandez re-live his own debut on the opposite side, breeden clearly has the ability to end with strikes, but just based off his competition i'm not comfortable making that my pick. so i'll say alex switches it up and shoots for top time.
Solecki vs. Gordon
Joe Solecki, TKO, R2
question is gonna be if solecki can keep gordon off of him in r1 and i'll say he does. once jared tires he's gonna be a target if he can't find his entries.
Shevchenko vs. O'Neill
Casey O'Neill, DEC
oneill can grapple and that's antonina's weakness. also think casey can win standing if she chooses to stay there.
Rosa vs. Correia
Karol Rosa, DEC
bethe can't even make weight for her retirement fight, i can't trust her to hit more than air.
Mullarkey vs. Smith
Devonte Smith, TKO, R2
wanted to go mullarkey as an underdog here, but i feel like his losses show that guys who apply pressure to him can have success and devonte is definitely a pressure fighter.
Andrade vs. Pirrello
Douglas Andrade, DEC
could be fun and i do expect pirrello to have his moments where he tags andrade, but i'm gonna take the guy whose only tko loss is to petr yan.
Young vs. Egger
Shanna Young, DEC
seems like whoever gets on top will win. i'll go young because she's seen more decisions?
Perez vs. Eduardo
Alejandro Perez, DEC
really no faith in eduardo at this point. striking is always sharp, but i can't trust him to stay upright, whether that's because he gets taken down or because he gets overconfident and gets clipped. i'm gonna go decision though because i think perez is unlikely to sub him and might not commit to finding a finish when he does land.

So I'm going to put 1 unit on the following and see what happens...
Walker
Daukaus
Gordan
Shevchenko
Circanov
Mullarkey
Oliveira
And maybe pirello and young. But idk. Andrade isn't really a grappler and young only because the line flipped. Most likely just leaving these two out. As far as bethe and the guy Hernandez is fighting not really a point in betting those
