Prediction Comments
Predictions: 10 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 620 Points | Tied for 437th
Jordan Zébo, TKO, R2
Doumbe is a beast and has looked very good in mma but this is weird matchmaking. Zebo is a roid freak and an explosive wrestler; he broke the cage one time from slamming his opponent. I’m gonna pick the underdog here; doumbe is truely elite but giving him a wrestler just seems ********
Abdouraguimov vs. Ottoni
Abdoul Abdouraguimov, SUB, R1
Ufc is ******** for letting petty beef between managers prevent them from signing lazy king. Well, nothing was preventing them, but the ufc is ********. I’m just happy lazy king has a home. He is one of the most unique fighters I’ve ever seen. Maybe he would never be a contender in ufc but nobody fights like him. He just flows on the ground with super unique submission attacks. Ottoni is a legit opponent too but he can’t hang on the mat with abdoul
Salamone vs. Nedoh
Jakob Nedoh, TKO, R1
Let’s see how Nedoh does with a real step up. He’s looked good so far but man his opposition is terrible
Powell vs. Er-Ramy
Simeon Powell, TKO, R2
Powell is a fascinating prospect. I wonder how ufc managed to miss this guy. Massive lhw with diverse striking, good grappling, and fantastic cardio. He looks super legit
Ditcheva vs. Holm
Dakota Ditcheva, TKO, R1
Ditcheva is truly an elite talent. I say it every time she fights, but pfl is wasting her talent. They need to find her a ufc vet or some good prospect so we can finally see her tested
Chouchane vs. Vendramini
Luigi Vendramini, TKO, R2
Yazid is on a great win streak rn. Really shocked to see Luigi back; I think he is far better than what he showed in the ufc. He’s no world beater but his ufc tenure doesn’t do his skills Justice. Interested to see how he has improved in his layoff
Mlambo vs. Nuzzi
Francesco Nuzzi, DEC
Outside of that insane knockdown, mlambo looked horrible in his pfl debut. He has a lot of good qualities but seems to fight to his opponents level. Nuzzi is really good. I think he will outpoint mlambo here
Tuke vs. Kaszuba
Jakub Kaszuba, TKO, R3
Still shocked tuke managed to win his last fight; I legit think he is so bad. For hughes to lose that fight is genuinely embrassing; no coming back from that. I don’t rate kasuba that highly but he should finish tuke
Mitchell vs. Chizov
John Mitchell, DEC
Chizov is a can
Taleb vs. Kakhorov
Ali Taleb, TKO, R1
Surprised this fight isn’t higher up; this is one of the best fights on the card. Taleb is a problem; he is low volume but he has absurd power. Every shot he lands has death touch ko power. He’s an explosive grappler too. I think he finishes this early
Eeckhout vs. Scatizzi
Valentina Scatizzi, DEC
Loss by finish to a 4-6 girl is insanely alarming but I can’t pick a girl who lost to Mandy bohm
Gevers vs. Dyer
Shanelle Dyer, TKO, R2
Dyer is a great pickup by pfl. She can’t grapple for **** but her striking is ferocious. She trains at gbtt so you know her cardio is great and she can strike for days. I don’t know who gevers is but I do see she has 2 subs definitely a little concerning because she can win if she grapples but I gotta take dyer

Abdoul Abdouraguimov, SUB, R1
Abdoul finally at a major promotion. Gotta love it.
Chouchane vs. Vendramini
Luigi Vendramini, TKO, R1
UFC never should’ve cut Vendramini.

TBD
Honestly I am 50/50 Doumbe could just sleep him in 1 rd, go through a grinder survive and still sleep him. Or the Roid monster could just sleep, gno tko, submit Doumbe or just sleep on top of him the whole fight. This fight if Zebo chooses to wrestle is the test to know how good MMA Doumbe is. I'll probably go rewatch some tape on both and make a last minute pick I have no confidence in.
Abdouraguimov vs. Ottoni
Abdoul Abdouraguimov, SUB, R2
lets be real, Ottoni may be okay and he will always have a chance, but its Abdoul you need to bring something special like being a roid monster, crazy power or Lopes esque submission hunting.
Salamone vs. Nedoh
Jakob Nedoh, TKO, R2
I like Nedoh a lot, shame for Salamone I dont think he is half bad either for a LHW. But Nedoh like Powell hs just looked like a real prospect
Powell vs. Er-Ramy
Simeon Powell, DEC
Lets be real PFL europe was largely made to give Ditcheva and Powell as much good experience they cn get and see if they ae the real deal. I think both are, Powell is imho one of the best LHW prospects but i think this goes to a decison and I think that will be a very beneficial experience for both of them.
Ditcheva vs. Holm
Dakota Ditcheva, TKO
KO on the feet or TKO via GNP
Chouchane vs. Vendramini
Luigi Vendramini, DEC
glad to see Luigi back, I know the paddy loss is embarassing but glad to see him back. Yazid is a tough test but getting up there in age.
Mlambo vs. Nuzzi
Francesco Nuzzi, DEC
mlambo is a fighter i want to like but always disappoints
Tuke vs. Kaszuba
Jakub Kaszuba, TKO, R1
As a NI man, Irish MMA is fake, stop trying to make it a thing when its not. We have Garry and Hughes that are actually good.
Mitchell vs. Chizov
John Mitchell
okay despite what i previously said irish mma is better than chizov

Fernand is the matchmaker for pfl europe. Him and doumbe have had beef for years & now Fernand gives him one of his guys who happens to be a wrestler & steroid freak….
Take with that what you will, but I don’t believe pfl europe is trying to set doumbe up for a win

Cédric Doumbé, TKO, R2
I rewatched a pretty much all the Zebo tape and honestly despite the wrestling threat. Doumbe should win this. Zebo makes a lot of mistakes and is susceptible to being out grappled himself. All Doumbe needs to do is attack the legs and body, defend the iniitial grappling. Then come out in round 2 hunting. Zebo has a chance but I just think on rewatch, he is just a carefully thought out test for Doumbe.

I grazed over a fight of his as well, his cardio was not good and he struggled after being taken down. He also threw a spinning back kick at an incorrectly close distance, showing strike inefficiency. Talk about an easy lay up here

Abdouraguimov vs. Wheeler
Abdoul Abdouraguimov, TKO, R1
Close fight😬
Salamone vs. Nedoh
Jakob Nedoh, DEC
The frenchie is so bad
Powell vs. Er-Ramy
Simeon Powell, TKO, R2
Powell is a savage. One of the best 205 fighters fighting in the regional scene.
Ditcheva vs. Holm
Dakota Ditcheva, TKO, R3
Ditcheva at range is a really dangerous fighter. If she puts combos constantly on Cornelia, I cant see Cornelia goin to decision.
Staropoli vs. Boundjou Nadjombe
Laureano Staropoli, DEC
*** is this fight? 🤣🤣🤣
Taleb vs. Kakhorov
Ali Taleb, TKO, R1
Taleb walks like he talks.

Won't pick against Nuzzi since he beat Benardo, Mlambo will be competitive here.
Dyer vs. Cifuentes
Shanelle Dyer, TKO, R2
Shanelle is a great prospect, has some areas to improve on though.
