Oleksiejczuk, TKO, R2
The Hussar's striking defense gets him past the first round. His aggression gets him more knockdowns.
Devonte Smith vs. Ludovit Klein
Klein, SUB, R2
This was the hardest fight to call on the card, IMO. I think Klein's power shot rocks Smith, and Klein grabs the neck for the sub while Smith is down.
Tim Elliott vs. Tagir Ullanbekov
Elliott, DEC
I find this match even more on the nose with respect to current events and the rest of the card than the Moroz pick. Ullanbekov just doesn't seem to perform up to Dagestani wrestling standards, whereas Elliott does credit to Covington's Division 1 wrestling pedigree. Usually, Dagestan > US wrestling, but not in the case.
Brian Kelleher vs. Umar Nurmagomedov
Nurmagomedov, SUB, R2
And then order, in the wrestling world, will be restored.
Maryna Moroz vs. Mariya Agapova
Agapova, DEC
I'm sure there's some cosmic balance between skill and balance, and may sometimes tip towards skill, but on Saturday it tips to power--power in the form of takedowns and knockdowns.
Nicolae Negumereanu vs. Kennedy Nzechukwu
Nzechukwu, TKO, R1
Unless his balls get viciously mauled again, Nzechukwu's huge height and reach advantage make this his striking contest to lose.
Marina Rodriguez vs. Yan Xianan
Rodriguez, DEC
Rodriguez doesn't have the wrestling for the mount. Rodriguez doesn't have the power for, and Xianan's boxing is too good for, the TKO. Ergo, decision, Rodriguez.
Jalin Turner vs. Jamie Mullarkey
Mullarkey, TKO, R1
Another super close fight, but I think Mullarkey has a slight boxing edge. If Turner gets the takedown, I could be well-****** with this pick.
Sergei Spivak vs. Greg Hardy
Spivak, SUB, R2
Banking everything on Hardy not having good enough take down defense.
Kevin Holland vs. Alex Oliveira
Holland, DEC
Kevin Holland's one of my all-time favorite fighters in this sport. I'm not good at being impartial. I do think the weight cut's to his advantage, but he'd still be awesome at heavyweight. <3
Edson Barbosa vs. Bryce Mitchell
Mitchell, DEC
Mitchell by superior control time. No finish, because Barboza won't allow it. Also, Mitchell might have to finish without a head.
Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Renato Moicano
Dos Anjos, DEC
Old man strength, knowledge, and wisdom... for the win!
Colby Covington vs. Jorge Masvidal
Covington, DEC
I am down with chaos gods, but Covington doesn't bring chaos; he brings control. By Jorge and all that's holy, this is going to be less than half as exciting as I'd hoped it would be!

Gotta roll with Spivac for this one. Maybe by Submission? Once Hardy is on the ground, he becomes helpless. And I believe that this one will hit the floor at some point. Hardy also has a gas tank problem as we saw in the Tybura fight. If Spivac goes grapple heavy, Hardy will be done.

But if I'm being honest, as unpopular as it is, I don't like Spivak's chances of taking Hardy down in the first few minutes and I can count on Greg to put it on him early. Plus, his defense isn't trustworthy enough for me to see anything besides Hardy landing a nuclear hook and scoring a highlight

Anyone being confident in Hardy is ******* hysterical
His entire existence is "punchers chance", and not just in the cage.

Colby Covington, TKO, R2
i see colby KOing him to make a statement or maybe because jorge will be aggressive.
Rodriguez vs. Yan
Xiaonan Yan, DEC
yan will comeback with a huge win
Negumereanu vs. Nzechukwu
Nick Negumereanu, TKO, R1
kennedy is a notoriously slow starter and his last fight was just weird.
Moroz vs. Agapova
Mariya Agapova, TKO, R2
agapova has underrated striking tbh. maryna is decent but agapova has good power.
Elliott vs. Ulanbekov
Tim Elliott, SUB, R1
tbh i could see tagir just laying him and winning by decision via control time, but i believe tim elliot has been improving his last couple fights and should outstrike him and maybe can catch a submission in the grappling
Klein vs. Smith
Ľudovít Klein, TKO, R1
Smith is POWERFUL but tbh i dont trust his chin against ufc caliber strikers, also Klein has good cardio, good chin and wrestling.
