Nishikawa vs. Mustafaev
Magomed Mustafaev, DEC
Yamato is more talented at 19 than most guys are at 25-26 he is a very good fighter and i only see him getting better but they threw him to the wolfs on short notice but even then he has a hard style for Magomed. Magomed doesnt like a high pace volume he likes to fight his fight for an example brad was putting it on him and while he looked very uneasy so he shot a takedown and controlled that 2nd round. I belive that if Yamato was 25-26 and kept evolving from where he is now to 25-26 he could be a top 15 talent he is very good and i belive he will prove it later on in his career but i still belive that Magomed is just a step above him (not by that much tho). Magomed should be able to control where the fight goes he has the better takedowns and Yamatos takedowns are very sloppy so it shouldnt be a problem for Magomed to stuff them. all i worry about is Magomed having some form of ring rust and Yamatos pressure being overwelming but Magomed always has the option to control on the ground because Yamato has not shown that he knows how to get up from bottem so beacuse of all of that Magomed UD but if they rematch in like 5 years i fade Yamato

Why is Chookagian vs Fiorot on the main card? Oezdamir vs Krylov and Muhammad vs Brady are much better fights. Whichever of thise two isnt on the main card can be at the top of the prelims. Chookagian should never be anywhere near a main card.

I think the UFC wants to promote Fiorot so they can put her in a title fight with Shevchenko. You also have to consider that this card is so stacked that there's no clear bad choice for the main card (except maybe Nurmagomedov v Omargadzhiev). Fiorot is a pretty fun fighter, I think it's a good fight for the main card. Doubt Chook will make it to round three without a beating.

No Nurmagomedov vs Omargadzhiev is a decent fight. Not main card worthy in ANY universe where an event is this stacked, but it's far better than a couple of the other fights like ****ter Rosa vs the can shes fighting

Yan vs. O'Malley
Petr Yan, TKO, R2
I just don’t see how O’Malley wins this one. He doesn’t seem to take pressure well, Yan is gonna cut off the cage and land big shots. I don’t think O’Malley is gonna be ready for what’s coming his way. Even if Yan starts slow I still don’t see O’Malley being able to outpoint him if Sandhagen wasn’t able to

Dariush vs. Gamrot
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
This is a great fight, I think Beneil has the striking edge and has a good chance of KOing Gamrot but Gamrot’s wrestling will be key. Volume too

Nishikawa vs. Mustafaev
Magomed Mustafaev, TKO, R1
Tough fight for a 19 year old, he has a lot of experience though and has a good record. Unfortunately Magomed is on a different level compared to him, he’s the only man to beat Fiziev

Chookagian-Fiorot is actually an amazing fight. Say what you will, Chook is a high volume striker. And Fiorot love to fight. Manon won't let Chook stay outside and point fight. It's gonna be a good high level scrap.

I think skill for skill, strength for strength, Sean Brady is better than Belal everywhere. But man, Chiesa had Sean gassed badly after 3 rounds of grappling. And outcardio-ing better fighters is what Belal Muhammad does. He keeps proving us wrong.

You could definitely put a little money on Beneil. Those are good odds for how close the fight is

If anything Dariush is over-valued. This fight is not close. Skill for skill Gamrot has him everywhere and by a significant margin. This is on par with picking Dariush to beat Islam, he's out of his depth at this level.

Remember the name should be a big favorite in this fight imo. Belal has much better standup, and Brady's cardio really isn't that good. Brady was gassed at the end of the Chiesa fight, and Belal is going to make him work much harder for the takedown than Chiesa did. I wouldn't be surprised if Belal got a finish here

Yan vs. O'Malley
Sean O'Malley, DEC
This pick will likely be wrong, but O Malley is a good dog shot. Yan starts slower than O Malley which Sean will have to use to his advantage. If Sean banks the 1st round, there's a chance he can win the 2nd too. 3rd round will 100% go to Yan assuming it goes that far

Very high-level grappling by both guys. I just think Gamrot is hungrier and more active. Great scrap though

Muradov vs. Borralho
Caio Borralho, SUB, R2
I agree with what the other guy said about Round 2 sub. Borralho was a training partner for Demian Maia. For that alone I have to pick him

Mokaev vs. Gordon
Muhammad Mokaev, DEC
Mokaev is top 10 level at 22 years old

Abdurakhimov vs. Almeida
Jailton Almeida, SUB, R1
This won't be close. Almeida probably a -800 too
