Having watched tape I now think Sean Strickland wins this. I am betting on his cardio and constant forward pressure. I don't think Jack likes to get hit. Also I think Sean's grappling and wrestling is very under rated. I think he could at least be the equal of Jack with his wrestling and his BJJ is apparently quite good. Probably good enough to defend a submission and get back to his feet. I can see him doing this a few times, Jack getting tired and frustrated and losing a tough decision.
First time in a long time I am taking a favourite in a main event but I now feel pretty confident about this one.
Also watched tape on Dawodu and Trizano. I agree with you, Dawodu seems over rated. Flat footed, low volume and hittable. His power is not that great either. I think Trizano has very good boxing and leg kicks and really good head movement and defensive movement. I think his wrestling and grappling is obviously better than Dawodu as well. Also I really rate Trizano's fight IQ. I think its great.

Does this trend continue here or does Strickland finally break the trend as a favorite winner?

Philip Rowe, DEC
The Fresh Prince got some size and height on him. Uses this to his advantage on the ground, for defending takedowns and the getup. Don't like some of his decisions in fights, he tends to allow himself to get stuck in a position. Rowe has some decent striking that can KO fighters with a weak chin. He brings some volume and forward pressure into the fight as well. Path to victory here for Witt is taking this fight to the round & grappling mixed up with some dirty boxing in the clinch. I like his defense but he tends to back up a bit too much in fights and can be low volume. If The Fresh Prince can keep this fight standing and stuff the takedowns while avoiding getting in the clinch with Witt he may be able to grind out a DEC W here.
Davis vs. Stoliarenko
Julija Stoliarenko, DEC
Not much to say about this fight. Backing the dog here to cause an upset and grind out a decision against Davis. She's younger, enjoying the better momentum and some nice high kicks and SUB attempts to end the fight. I see her grinding out a decision here.
Marques vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, SUB, R1
Good fighter in Danilo Marques. Has a god mix of punches and kicks. He also goes for the takedown and will look to control you on the or against the cage. Marques tends to gas out and struggles with securing takedowns as seen in his last fight with Kennedy which is a bit of a concern. I think he has fought the better competition compared to Almeida and that may give him a bit of an edge coming into this fight. Almeida has a good getup game and some powerful takedowns of his own. Almeida throws his punches and kicks with some furious power that can end the fight when they land. Since Marques will probably be looking to take this fight to the ground, I think he'll find himself in some trouble here and leave himself open to a SUB.
Gordon vs. Bondar
Denys Bondar, SUB, R2
X has some tricky movement which can serve him well in. Confuses his opponents with his movement for takedowns and can land with some power for the KO. Good work on the ground by Gordon, does tend to leave himself vulnerable to strikes by leaving his guard open when he attacks. Like his control of his opponents against the cage and his ability to implement instructions from the coaches. X can fight a 3 round fight if he has to, really impressed by his cardio. Looking forward to see him fight here. Bondar on the other hand is has an aggressive fighting style. Likes to control you on the ground and land massive shots. Bondar has some knees and kicks that can end the fight if they land. Bondar does a pretty good job at avoiding damage, dude has some great head movement and his guard stays up. I think Psycho has the edge over Malcolm Gordon here on the stand up and if this fight goes to the ground he might find a submission or end it via G&P.

No shame in getting out grappled by Movsar.
Also Dawodu’s pre MMA kickboxing career is so extensive, Trizano’s striking shouldn’t be anything new to him.
But if the fight does in fact remain a stand up affair & Dawodu losses…his value as a striker is going to plummet in my opinion

His best bet would be to spam tdds and subs hope for best or gnp for decision.
