Vinicius Cenci, TKO, R1
Patterson got that tall mans defense. From the 1 fight I’ve seen online Cenci has got some power in his hands, he’s at a good camp too. Patterson looks pretty good in most areas but the defense is the thing I’m concerned with

Bo Nickal, TKO, R1
Bo smesh
Patterson vs. Cenci
Sam Patterson, SUB, R1
Patterson is liable to get cracked but they’re giving him a can
Linares vs. Jenkins
Jack Jenkins, DEC
Jenkins is super well rounded. Really solid fighter
Ramos Estevam vs. Elias
Rafael Ramos Estevam, TKO, R2
Not impressed with Elias
Ajim vs. Mendonça
Mateus Mendonça, TKO, R3
Ajim is super dangerous for the first round then he fades

Freddy Emiliano Linares, TKO, R2
I think Linares is the less technical fighter but he comes with some aggression that will get to Jack imo
Ramos Estevam vs. Elias
Rafael Ramos Estevam, DEC
Elias is exciting and is pretty decent but Rafael looks like another solid Nova Uniao fighter
Ajim vs. Mendonça
Mateus Mendonça, TKO, R2
Ashiek looks like an exciting fighter but in his fights its clear that if he doesn't get that 1st round finish, he has a tendency to gas. Mendonca also has the advantage of being in one of the best gyms in Brazil at Chute Boxe who has been bringing some killers into the ufc

Bo Nickal, TKO, R1
Beard is better than Bo’s other opponents, but has been controlled before by lesser opponents. Where lesser opponents control, Bo will dominate and finish.
Patterson v. Censi
Sam Patterson, SUB, R1
Patterson’s defense is a mess, but Censi is probably not the guy to expose that. He’ll likely grapple early and get caught by the lankier, more creative grappler in Patterson.
Linares v. Jenkins
Freddy Emiliano Linares, SUB, R1
Jenkins is good, but seems to make mistakes under pressure. If Linares, a good athlete, puts it on him early and forces a mistake, I could see him capitalizing for an early finish.
Ramos Estevam v. Elias
João Elias, DEC
I like Elias’ pressure game and he seems to enjoy a war, and Ramos Estevam, while impressive, is relatively untested. Think he has a good start and fades late here.
Ajim v. Mendonça
Mateus Mendonça, SUB, R2
Ajim has BIG power, but pretty questionable durability and a not-so-good gas tank. If Mateus is smart and doesn’t get caught early, he drags Ajim to the floor and submits him early round 2.

Bo Nickal, TKO, R1
Yeah no it's Bo here... he takes it, though Donovan will be a much tougher opponnent then the 2 fights before, I think it's a perfect match for him to enter the UFC fought a young wolf in Zachery and now will fight a experienced MMA fighter in Donovan
Patterson vs. Cenci
Sam Patterson, TKO, R1
Listen I'm really not a fan of not keeping your gaurd up especially being a tall guy like that and not chunking your chin too...But Patterson really manages distance well and actually uses something tall fighters always forget...height advanteges, Patterson has a really really decent resume and fought some real competition all arround the world with Brave, so this is just another thursday(movies refference) for him, confident in Sam, Cenci is really that avarage South-American with low level competition fighter, and they don't do well in DWCS this season.
Linares vs. Jenkins
Jack Jenkins, TKO, R2
I'm not often quickly impressed, don't get me wrong Linares is quite good, but that's maybe due to his opponents he fought and he got dropped by a random hook in the gonzalez fight. If Jack is thouching you he'll ******* hurth you man, Jack is so well rounded like it should be illegal, Jack has really good TD defense, you can't rock that guy and is so so so technical. I'm ****riding but Jenkins gets it done, Linares has nothing more the pressure to offer Jack and Jack will piece him up. he tends to throw calf kicks and jab a straight and those hurth so much man look at the Jason fight, made the man give up due to his calf kicks and pieced up Rod Costa in his latest fight whom I see similarities with Linares in.
Ramos Estevam vs. Elias
João Elias, DEC
Not really convinced, I mean Elias looks decent but sloppy sometimes. Hope he wins. not a confident pick though.
Ajim vs. Mendonça
Mateus Mendonça
Mendonca is very decent, Ajim is a bum in my eyes, dunno why, his style is not confident at all altough I give credit where it's due and admit he must pack KO Power. but Cardio concerns here? Mendonca a nother non confident pick.
