He has skills but his approach has got to be some of the most meatheaded I've seen in a good while. He's basically betting on being the toughest guy on the planet and outlasting whatever is in front of him with no adjustments in his tactics depending on the matchup.
It's like he trained only offense. I've seen him with some good takedowns, he's got great hands and punches in combinations but he has no defense whatsoever. I've never seen a man be head and arm thrown multiple times in the same fight before and he's never seen a hook he didn't happily absorb on his chin.

I dont see why Ribovics can't do the same thing. He's a much more violent striker than Manfio and the total opposite in terms of finishing ability.

Short thoughts:
Jones vs Gane- I think on the feet Cyril's athleticism and footwork will allow him to be the better striker on the feet. From clinch and closer, I think Jones will seriously make Cyril look amateur. Interested to see who can impose their will here. For me, siding with Jones via UD in what should be a close fight.
Shevchenko vs Grasso:Think Valentina's wrestling and grappling ability will prove the deciding factor. I like Grasso in the pocket and in boxing range but I don't think it spends much time there. On the feet, Valentina will pick at Grasso with the kicking advantage and look to get this down. Valentina via UD.
Nickal vs Pickett:Nickal dominates in a setup fight. Pickett doesn't have near the punching power or threatening striking to worry Nickal here. Easy pick and nice plus money on Nickal via Sub RD 1.
Turner vs Gamrot:I think last minute swap from Hooker to Gamrot could be one of the worst opponent changes stylistically you could have. Turner is dangerous and I don't hate the ITD shot but for me, the grappling pressure of Gamrot and the ability to scramble and maintain top position will wear on Turner. The first round will be scary but taking Gamrot via Sub RD 3.
Long thoughts are in this

The French guy with glasses with his flag du republique punching the air is the moment of the presser for me
