Ovince St. Preux, DEC
How in the hell is OSP an underdog in this fight? His opponent didn't even win his Contender Series fight and he's supposed to beat a veteran of the game? Nah give me OSP
Saaiman vs. Koslow
Cameron Saaiman, TKO, R1
Not much to go on, but Saaiman had an impressive left hook KO on the Contender Series, so I'll roll with that momentum.

Yikes talk about a hard fight to predict, take down defence on topuria should make it a fight on the feet

Cameron Saaiman, TKO, R2
Saaiman is really talented but a little green. Koslow has good grappling so maybe he could have success ewrly but otherwise saaiman has this in the bag

Raul Rosas Jr., DEC
Risky pick given rosas age but Perrin is a regional level fighter.
St. Preux vs. Trócoli
Ovince St. Preux, TKO, R2
I understand the OSP fade but trocoli is really bad. Just has tall man’s defense and is a grappler

Jan Błachowicz, SUB, R2
Very risky picking Blachowicz here, but I think people tend to forget that, like Ankalaev, he's a tactician and he knows his way around his opponents. Magomed looks a little raw sometimes and gets complacent all too often in fights. I expect an early showing of Ankalaev leading by numbers until Blachowicz begins to open up. I see him putting Magomed down and finishing him in my mind, and I have a feeling the fight ends in a submission here.
Pimblett vs. Gordon
Jared Gordon, DEC
Gordon's tdd is extremely concerning against Pimblett (especially considering his sneaky hip tosses), but he's a much cleaner striker with much better navigational abilities in the clinch. He should grind against Pimblett on the fence and pick him apart from range for a decision win.
Ponzinibbio vs. Lawler
Santiago Ponzinibbio, TKO, R2
Comlete mismatch. Lawler is slow, and his haymakers don't have the same sting anymore. Ponzi should clean him up pretty quickly.
Till vs. Du Plessis
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R1
Till has been plagued with injuries that will really affect a push-forward counterstriker like himself. Plus, Dricus is a tough fight for Darren to begin with. His ground game is rather underrated and could be a viable asset in this fight. Dricus should piece him up and finish him off provided that Darren hasn't magically leveled up.
Mitchell vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, TKO, R2
Bryce is great, but Ilia could be be in the title picture very soon. His body shots are absolutely vile and his ability to push his opponents forward right into his power will be the x-factor of this fight. I tend to lean towards power punchers in pressure vs pressure matchups.

Billy Quarantillo, TKO, R3
Hernandez mindset worries me here. He was stalking about retirement after the moicano fight and now he’s going down a weight class? Against a cardio fighter who makes guys quit? Idk lots of red flags on the Hernandez side
Silva vs. Brown
TJ Brown, SUB, R2
Tj is terrible and screwed me many times but I really can’t trust silva. No tape past the first round and he’s old. Tj is a dumbass but at least he’s aggressive and can wrestle. I really don’t think silva is all that
Rozenstruik vs. Daukaus
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R1
Mid off but daukaus is just not a good heavyweight. Should be at 205
Curtis vs. Buckley
Chris Curtis, TKO, R3
Buckley really isn’t as good as everyone thinks.’just atheltic and has heart. Curtis works the body a lot and I think he will gas out buckley and finish him late
da Silva vs. Salvador
Vinicius Salvador, TKO, R1
Da silva could win if he grapples ewrly but after 2.5 minutes this is Salvador all day and easily

Magomed Ankalaev, TKO, R4
Ankalaev is a problem
Pimblett vs. Gordon
Paddy Pimblett, TKO, R1
This is honestly a great test for paddy. Jared can test him everywhere but ultimately I think Jared’s lack of durability will fail him here at
Ponzinibbio vs. Lawler
Santiago Ponzinibbio, TKO, R2
This would be a sick fight like 4-5 years ago, but this just feels cruel now. Lawler showed he’s pretty much done after the barberena fight; ponzi is washed too but he’s still having close fights with young contenders
Till vs. Du Plessis
Darren Till, TKO, R3
If tills bum ass makes it to fight week he will win. Dricus leaves his chin up every time he rushed in and that’s a big nono against a counter striker
Mitchell vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, TKO, R1
I think topuria is just on another level tbh
Shahbazyan vs. Lungiambula
Edmen Shahbazyan, TKO, R1
I could see dalcha possibly having some success early but otherwise this is Edmen all day. He’s finally found a good camp and is still young so this is an easy showcase

having said that, locks of the card are edmen and ponzi so far - still need to watch film on this card but i'm also really high on topuria, salvador, saaiman, ankalaev, curtis and quarantillo off of instinct alone, still need to take a closer look specifically for this card on those dudes

Fighters coming off 3 Ls tend to not have the best confidence which could lead them to losing to guys that they are better than
