Tafon - Equal reach. More power. Ulberg's chin is up in the air and his hands are down. Got cracked by Cherant last fight. Tafon has better wrestling and will win the clinch. Has 3 round cardio and Ulberg will slow down late.
Kelleher - Mario is good but Kelleher should wrestle for 3 rounds and grind him out. Also a chance of catching his neck. Doubt this will stay standing for long.
Demopoulos - Striking is equal for both. Demopoulos is younger, faster and tough. Working wrestling with Cejudo. If it hits the ground Frey will get tapped quick.
Reasons for the other plays
JP - Could be the closest fight on the card and Durden is live, but JP has the better offensive wrestling and cardio though he too does slow down. Main worry is his chin. But Durden is not Bruno Silva or Montel Jackson. Even then JP does not seem to get put out cold though he gets dropped, often gets up again. Can't see Durden doing that beyond first round due to cardio, but I don't think even that's likely. Skill wise striking is close though Buys can be more tentative, but again against Silva or Montel which is different. Other worry is JPs defensive wrestling but even if taken down, his scrambles are good and likely tire out Durden. Durden often falls to quick submissions and JP is good at those. Looking at Durden's wins, I feel he actually lost to Gutierrez and Aori so could actually be 0-4 in the UFC. JP has fought the much, much better competition. In the Gutierrez fight he had his back for almost a round and did nothing, then gassed and lost the last 2. Sure it was short notice but that fight should not have been a draw. This is a close fight, but overall JP is more skilled and likely to be motivated. Whoever shoots first with the wrestling is likely to get ahead quickly and think that will be JP. He is the favorite for a reason.
Baudot - Parisian has striking volume but only for one and a half rounds. Unlikely to have power to put out Baudot unless with some unexpected spinning attack. Not very likely to happen as most now aware of that risk. Baudot could get taken down which is trouble but seems unlikely. Parisian likely fades in round 2 -3 and Baudot likely takes over and maybe puts him away late. Baudot has better skills, better cardio and seems durable. Fairly confident play for me.
I respect your opinion for sure but I respectfully disagree regarding Armen and Moises not being locks. Gamrot is amazing, agreed but has not faced a wrestler on the level of Armen who has been training with Armenian Olympic medalists for this camp from what I hear. Gamrot has 5 round experience but not against this level of continuous wrestling attack and we saw he started to fatigue against CDF in round 2. His striking is good but Armen is better there as well. Armen also has the better bjj. So overall better skills, more reach, better cardio, better striking wrestling and grappling. Also not to discredit Gamrot's amazing achievements but strength of schedule in UFC is better for Armen. Gamrot has early finishes of Stephens, Holtzman and CDF due to a rib injury where he was beginning to slow down. I feel Armen's wins are better. I do really think Armen is a lock here and a confident play.
Regarding Moises, he is just better everywhere. One area Giagos is better is offensive wrestling, but cardio does not support that for more than a round. Striking is better and has very good counters and grappling is better. Giagos could possibly win round one but not likely to do much damage. After that Moises taked over. 3rd most confident play after Shavkat and Umar.
Hope that explains my thought process.

And my friend, I would really like to see the winner of this fight Chandler, what a fight! I hope Chandler is not too fixed on fighting Mr McGregor because the killers are coming up the ranks!
