Smolka is definitely not trash, but feels like this is step up from morales vs getting a more winnable low level fight.

Yeah my thoughts as well, 49-46, I don't see him getting a finish unless Jan decides to do something really dumb and slip

Błachowicz vs. Rakić
Aleksandar Rakić, DEC
Imo Rakić may be the best lhw on the roster. He's methodical and elusive. Jan's a counterstriker, but he can't be playing on points with Aleksandar. This will be a fairly low-output chess match (considering the approach he takes against accurate power punchers) in which Rakić should thrive.

Spann vs. Cutelaba
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R1
Spann's chin is REALLY concerning. He has a load of power himself but if Ion can get his to the chin first, it's a wrap.

Nick Maximov is actually a dangerous favorite here but I understand it. He’s going to be the SIGNIFICANTLY better wrestler. Which means he’ll be the one controlling where the ground exchanges occur. I think Nick may have an edge in the pure BJJ, but I actually favor Petroski for striking and cardio. But Nick should net 5+ TDs here and win a decision or a leg lock possibly.

Who are people lining up for their top line. I pretty much only have good confidence in Grant. I don’t really like Tiara or Maximov as I can see clear paths to an L.

Guess I’m just taking a straight bullet on Grant for my top line.

Nick Maximov Has amazing bjj he’s way better then Petroski there and the striking is probably even Petroski last fight went against one of the worse guys I’ve seen in the ufc and had 1 right hand no other punch really and Petroski needs takedowns to win fights he’s going to shoot and get submitted quick this is the fight Maximov will get some fans

I think Maximov vs petroski has the potential to actually be entertaining. Or Maximov just lays on him the whole fight like he always does and we all fall asleep

Grant inside the distance

As much as Smolka has been working to improve he is just too slow and doesn't have a great chin. I think Grant puts him away with a tko or a choke from a desperate shot or rocked from hands

I also like Cutelaba and Angela Hill

To be fair, smolka was promising at FLW. At one point he was one of the hottest prospects but then he lost 4 in a row and hasn’t really done anything since
