Gian Villante vs Chris Bennett - I know I know Gian Villante is about lowest tier of UFC Fighters you can go + feels like they want to push Bennett because he could become a fan favorite prelim fighter but if Villante can make it out of the 1st, into the late 2nd round he could start pulling away.
C.J. Veraga vs Ode Osbourne - Veraga's rapsheet just scares me a little even with a SOLID upset over Bruno Korea + Ode Osbourne is just sus af to take.
Honestly pretty excited for both of these fights for the simple fact they both could end easily in round 1 or make it to a DEC, not knowing who could win either way. After UFC 267 I'm too excited for this card!

Melsik Baghdasaryan, TKO, R1
Souza is a liability to himself out in space here. If he has any grappling chops, he needs to pull the trigger on them here if he wants a split decision (or a Glendale Gym quitter tko)

Phil Hawes, TKO, R2
Showcase for Hawes. Curtis isn't as big a threat in space as Imavov, so hopefully we don't get the customary Hawes stanky leg in route to victory. Curtis is fortunate to have experience in this spot, defence and composure could carry him to a winning 3rd round, but Hawes seems to be on good form.

Kamaru Usman, TKO, R1
Expecting a more aggressive approach from both here, continuing the trend of high octane title fights that we've been having. Colby lands, but Usman lands harder here.
Namajunas vs. Zhang II
Weili Zhang, DEC
Weili will bank three rounds here with a more physical approach to this fight. Carla will be sitting at home jealous that she's not the one in there wrestling the title away from Thug Rose.
Shahbazyan vs. Imavov
Nassourdine Imavov, TKO, R3
If Imavov doesn't eat a big punch early, he should weather the storm and make Edmen quit late here with his volume.
Iaquinta vs. Green
Al Iaquinta, DEC
Typical spot for Green to lose a decision. If his previous opponent would have been focused, that would have been a more convincing loss.
Michailidis vs. Pereira
Alex Pereira, TKO, R2
If you have the bank roll, lay the mortgage down on Alex before he's a penny on the dollar.
Williams vs. Garry
Ian Garry, SUB, R1
Don't see why Garry can't replicate the work of Mickey Gall. Garry vs Gall next if he gets past this initial test?
Vergara vs. Osbourne
Ode Osbourne, TKO, R1
After seeing how vunerable Duraev looked last week, DWCS 2021 I'll lean on the side of fading. CJ was the underdog on DWCS..let's keep that train going...Ode ITD.
Villante vs. Barnett
Chris Barnett
Can't choose Villante to win fights.

Justin Gaethje, TKO, R1
This fight could be 50-50, Who land first. But honestly, I'm rather confident in Gaethje as he might have the best leg kick in the the game, And Chandler legs are kinda bad, I swear in every Chandler fight, he almost breaks his leg every time he take a leg kick
Michailidis vs. Pereira
Alex Pereira, TKO, R2
I think Alex Pereira is going to get wresle**** by someone, But The UFC knows what they are doing, Michaildis is not going to be the guy who does it, He pretty spastic tbh, I think he get flatline by Pereira left hook as UFC sells him as the man who KO Adesanya
Hawes vs. Curtis
Phil Hawes, TKO, R1
Why is Phil Hawes not fighting top 15 guys yet???. The guy who he beat is fighting a ranked guy in Imavov a fighter agter him, Also beat Kyle Daukous who fighting Holland. I hope Phil Hawes fight Kelvin Gastulum or Darren Till next, He has the right to prove why he's top 15
Villante vs. Barnett
Chris Barnett, TKO, R1
I love Chris Barnett, Webster Dictonary describe Meme fighter as Chris Barnett, I think Villante is the guy who be finish by something stupid at this point
