It's next to impossible to make a confident pick on either of these guys. Either could have their way on the night, and both have monumental flaws that play exactly into one another's strengths. Holland could attempt a kick at 0.05 of R1 that he saw once in an X-men comic, from the other side of the octagon, fall over and spend the remainder of the round in missionary getting rutted and cracking yo mama' jokes out of guard. And then do it again R2 and R3.
It's often the case that Daukhaus couldn't hit a donkey with a banjo. He could spend every round lumbering about getting pieced up at range, diving in for takedowns that he has absolutely no chance of securing like an aged snowblind barn cat that has accidentally eaten peyote pouncing at mice that are not there.
Who knows. I'll take Holland by dec with next to no confidence.

Thiago Santos, TKO, R2
Santos is a killer.. Walker gon think **** sweet.
Holland vs. Daukaus
Kevin Holland, TKO, R1
Everytime Holland hit Vettori his head snapped back, Daukaus striking looked poor last performance. Holland is good off his back and should be able to use his hips to keep the fight on the feet especially with all the recent grappling training.
Price vs. Oliveira
Niko Price, TKO, R2
Wildman vs Wildman. Gimme Price, more durable and puts the WIL in WILD š
Cirkunov vs. Jotko
Misha Cirkunov, SUB, R1
Cirkunov is difficult to predict, but i think he'll get Jotko to the ground and wrap a limb or get to his neck before Jotko gets started up.
Ladd vs. Chiasson
Aspen Ladd, TKO, R3
Ladd by GNP, FOOK THE FEMALE MGK!! wasn't impressed with her standup, then old ass Tate gets a finish on Reneau...
Hernandez vs. Breeden
Alexander Hernandez, TKO, R1
Breeden has been chin checked in the 1st before, that Gruetzmacher win looks pretty decent now + Hernandez seems to fail only when he gets a step up.
Solecki vs. Gordon
Joe Solecki, DEC
BJJ vs Wrestling, could playout on the feet. But gimme the better all around grappler in Solecki. Wanted to go Gordon and if Solecki keeps it on the feet too long could take an L here.
Shevchenko vs. O'Neill
Casey O'Neill, TKO, R2
Wasn't too big on O'Neill, but she has a good camp and Shevchenko lost to KGB Lee so gtfo.
Rosa vs. Correia
Karol Rosa, DEC
Another close WMMA fight, siding with the younger all around well put together fighter.
Mullarkey vs. Smith
Jamie Mullarkey, SUB, R2
Mullarkey another hard fighter to predict, think with him training with Volk for last camp should be ready to take this fight wherever he needs to win, feeling a knock down into a sub from Mullarkey.
Andrade vs. Pirrello
Douglas Andrade, DEC
Pirrello just doesn't look ready for the UFC.
Young vs. Egger
Shanna Young, DEC
Close WMMA fight, gimme the younger fight with more experience.
Perez vs. Eduardo
Alejandro Perez, DEC
Really wanted to go Eduardo but nada.... dude is 41....

Niko Price, DEC
I believe this will be competitive, neither competitor is special, both coming off losses. I just think NIko has more heart and it will show. He is also a bit stronger.
Cirkunov vs. Jotko
Misha Cirkunov, SUB, R2
Cirkunov is a submission specialist so his fights typically end in him getting KOd or him submitting his opponent, Jotko is a Decision winner most of the time, he tends to stay standing. Misha will most likely take him down and submit him as jotko is not the strongest LHW.
Hernandez vs. Breeden
Alexander Hernandez, TKO, R1
Breeden gon get ****** up
Shevchenko vs. O'Neill
Casey O'Neill, DEC
Not sure with this one

Solecki should win here, and he's pretty good value at his current odds. Gordon's wrestling isn't going to be sufficient to keep Joe pinned, he's too scrambly, and too much of a submission threat. If he can't win on control time, which I don't find very probable at all, then you're looking at a fight in which he's going to get outstruck very easily due to terrible boxing reads and either outpointed, club n' subbed or TKO'ed late. Solecki doesn't pack the power of guys like Charles or Ferriera so I'll take option B and ignore when John Anik momentarily lifts his snout from a pair of used panties to crow about Solecki being the first guy to ever submit the flash, as though Do Bronx or Ferriera wouldn't have inevitably done that had they not separated him from his consciousness first in R1.
Solecki, sub.

Misha Cirkunov, SUB, R1
Always looking to fade Cirkunov but I canāt do that here. Jotko isnāt very good and is going to get submitted.
Hernandez vs. Breeden
Alexander Hernandez, TKO, R1
Easy payday for Hernandez, unless he gets ****y per usual and loses.
Solecki vs. Gordon
Joe Solecki, SUB, R1
Solecki will sub Gordon very easily. Gordon is a hardworking fighter but Solecki is gonna be a problem for many guys in the division.
Shevchenko vs. O'Neill
Antonina Shevchenko, SUB, R2
I see people on the Shevchenko side and I have no idea why. This line is wide and rightfully so. OāNeill will win this fight anyway she wants. I get that Shevchenko is a decent Muay Thai kickboxer but besides that, sheās one of the worst fighters in the UFC. OāNeill will most likely get this to the ground and then Submit Antonina because she canāt stuff a takedown.
Rosa vs. Correia
Karol Rosa, DEC
Karol Rosa is a beast. Correia is decent as well but Rosa should win a close decision.
Mullarkey vs. Smith
Devonte Smith, TKO, R1
Smith will stuff the takedowns and knock Mullarkey out. Mullarkey is decent but heās extremely hittable. This fight wonāt last long.
Andrade vs. Pirrello
Douglas Andrade, TKO, R1
This fight will be a banger and Pirrello is a live dog but I think Andrade knocks him out.
Young vs. Egger
Stephanie Egger, SUB, R2
Why is Stephanie Egger the underdog here? Sheās pretty good and Shanna Young got submitted by Sarah Alpar. I would take Egger anyways but losing by sub to Alpar is not a good look.
Perez vs. Eduardo
Alejandro Perez, TKO, R3
Iām leaning Perez here because Eduardo is really old for a bantamweight. Both guys like to scrap and I think Perez clips Eduardo and finishes him late.

Thiago Santos, TKO, R1
Johnny Walker is a fun fighter but heās a bust. Santos is going to knock him out with the first couple of punches he throws.
Holland vs. Daukaus
Kevin Holland, TKO, R1
Daukaus can outwrestle Holland here but Iām guessing Holland has worked on his wrestling with Daniel Cormier and if he can stuff a couple of takedowns he will knock Daukaus out.
Ladd vs. Chiasson
Aspen Ladd, DEC
Aspen Ladd is 100x better than Chiasson but there are worries here. Ladd has been out for a while due to injury and Chiasson hits very hard and never gives up. I think Ladd gets it done but I wouldnāt be shocked to see Chiasson win.
