Joselyne Edwards, Dec
Other than her horrible takedown defense Edwards has decent hands, good leg kicks and body kicks. Manages range a good amount too, there is also no threat for the takedown with Kim primarily a boxer who has fought decent competiton but with very low head movement. Granted I will admit she did get robbed her last fight but Cachoeira runs into punches, in this fight I believe she will struggle with the distance control from Edwards and that will be her downfall leading to Edwards winning a 29-28 decision.

Sergei Pavlovich, TKO, R1
This is a true 50/50 fight. Lewis's stock really went down after the Tuivasa loss. Sergei could get his chin taken off here, but I think he's more defensively responsible than Derrick, and as we've seen, when Derrick starts to empty the gas tank and misses, he becomes extremely vulnerable. Sergei should finish him off with a clean counter shot.
Pantoja vs. Perez
Alexandre Pantoja, SUB, R2
Extremely close fight. Perez is very good and imo, doesn't get the recognition he deserves. But on the other hand, Pantoja is extremely good himself and if Moreno beats Kai later that night and beats Figueiredo in the fourth fight, then Pantoja could very well become champion. Honestly don't even hate his chances against Deiveson in a rematch if I'm not being a biased Figueiredo fan.
Ankalaev vs. Smith
Magomed Ankalaev, TKO, R2
Ankalaev's last few fights have been fairly low-output fights, but when his opponents have gotten aggressive, he's either dropped them or knocked them out cold. I think Anthony's aggression and pace will be his downfall here, and Magomed will get a finish somewhere midway through the fight.

Amanda Nunes 1 RD KO/TKO
Moreno with the front hand will dictate the pace of the fight, KKF raises a double deck for flurry attacks, Moreno will have space to dictate the pace with the jab, the input and output of the combination on which he will make an advantage in the output. KKF needs to initiate a stand-up fight like Pantoja did in TUF, I expect Moreno to do well there with the fact that he will look for the clinch when KKF has his series of strikes. Both are tough and I don't expect a knockout, I also don't believe there will be a grounder because KKF has too good TDD, and I don't expect KKF to look for a grounder fight because Moreno is much more explosive and methodical on the floor.

I just think that when he fights the best guys like Figgy and Moreno he’s gonna struggle. I rewatched their last fight to just see how it went down and Kai got beat pretty easily
That was in 2019 so obviously both guys have improved tremendously. They’ve been on a collision course of sorts since then. Moreno having his trilogy with Figgy while Kai built up a good 3 fight win streak. But during that time period I think Moreno improved more. Which is why I have him winning a close but clear decision

Brandon Moreno, DEC
Might flip a coin. Both overachievers. Probably a split decision
Lewis vs. Pavlovich
Sergei Pavlovich, TKO, R2
Pavlovich was made out of a lab
Pantoja vs. Perez
Alex Perez, DEC
You lose to askar askarov on the feet. That means i cant trust you with someone that can strike
Morono vs. Semelsberger
Alex Morono, DEC
Padded 4-1 UFC record lets be real. Morono just has to avoid getting clipped and he wins
Mayes vs. Abdelwahab
Hamdy Abdelwahab, TKO, R1
I have a feeling Hamdy is a very bad nail. But lets not forget Mayes gets messed up by anyone with knowledge of grappling. And Hamdy is an Egyptian Olympic Wrestler. But one thing i know for certain and that is that this will be a super entertaining fight
Kim vs. Edwards
Joselyne Edwards, DEC
If she didnt lose to Cachoeira i probably would've picked her. But i just lost all faith in Kim after that stunt, but i do hope ahe wins because if she dosent then she will get cut
Negumereanu vs. Potieria
Ihor Potieria, DEC
Another flip a coin fight. 2 meatheads clashing should be fun to watch
Cosce vs. Diamond
Blood Diamond, TKO, R1
Why not. Cosce proved he shouldn't be here after the rowe fight. The dude looked helpless on the feet
