Prediction Comments
Predictions: 4 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 265 Points | Tied for 3023rd
Pavlovich vs. Blaydes
Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R1
Pavlovich's takedown defense was terrible against Overeem and now he's up against the best wrestler in the division. Blaydes will shoot almost instantly and if he gets the takedown, it will spell the end of the fight for Pavlovich. If Pavlovich's TDD has improved and he stuffs the first takedown, Blaydes is in for a rough KO loss.
Song vs. Simón
Ricky Simón, SUB, R2
Simon's grappling will be the X factor of this matchup and I think Simon will submit Song on the mat after a close striking battle.
Green vs. Gordon
Bobby Green, DEC
I think Green is gonna light Gordon up. I think he can stuff the takedowns and avoid getting caught to win a dominant decision.
Tavares vs. Silva
Brad Tavares, DEC
Tavares should outstrike Silva in a close fight, landing some takedowns along the way to win a close decision and an absolute war.
Wells vs. Semelsberger
Matt Semelsberger, TKO, R1
Two of the most powerful punchers in the division. I think Semelsberger's length helps him find the chin before Wells.
Lucindo vs. Walker
Iasmin Lucindo, DEC
Lucindo should outstrike Walker pretty easily to win a decision.
Rosa vs. Dumont
Norma Dumont, DEC
I think Dumont will outstrike Rosa and stuff her takedowns for a decision win.
Marshall vs. Gomis
Francis Marshall, DEC
Marshall wins this fight everywhere it goes, expect a dominant decision or a highlight reel finish.
Cachoeira vs. Silva
Karine Silva, SUB, R1
Cachoeira's ground game is rough, and I expect Silva to capitalize on it almost immediately.
Glenn vs. Giagos
Christos Giagos, DEC
I think Giagos will win the fight on the mat with his slick submission attempts and ground control.
Candelario vs. Estevam
Rafael Estevam, TKO, R1
I'll go ahead and take the 11-0 knockout artist over the only fighter to be signed off of a loss on the contender series.
Yahya vs. Jackson
Montel Jackson, DEC
Jackson should outstrike Yahya very easily, but Yahya is a tough veteran and he always finds the takedown. I think Jackson's damage will win him the fight on the scorecards.
Danaa vs. Hiestand
Batgerel Danaa, TKO, R1
Hiestand's wrestling is excellent, but his chin is awful. If Hiestand can weather the storm, he'll win. I just don't see him weathering the storm.
Usman vs. Tafa
Junior Tafa, TKO, R1
Usman is 34 years old and not very good. Tafa is young and very promising. I think Tafa absolutely demolishes Usman.
Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R1
Pavlovich's takedown defense was terrible against Overeem and now he's up against the best wrestler in the division. Blaydes will shoot almost instantly and if he gets the takedown, it will spell the end of the fight for Pavlovich.

Yahya vs. Jackson
Rani Yahya, SUB, R2
Yahya is maybe in a clear disadvantage in athleticism and age, plus Jackson has a good wrestling base and good use of his reach and distance in striking. But JP Buys almost caught Montel in the first round with two quite deep submission attempts and that despite the fact that Buys has a disadvantage of plus 20 cm in reach, Yahya is the Demian Maia of the bantamweights and without a doubt if he manages to get a side control or 50/50 position has a great chance to win by arm-triangle choke or leg lock.

montel has been streaking together wins against lower comp rani isnt bad but is old and too one dimensional for montel montel probably gets a knockdown or 2 in this fight but doesnt pursue because rani off his back is dangerous

Pavlovich vs. Blaydes
Sergei Pavlovich, TKO, R1
I think Blaydes will be finished the same way he was against Black Beast. He's been trying to win fights on the feet when he could simply outwrestle a lot of these guys and finish them on the ground. Going with Pavlovich here.
Song vs. Simón
Ricky Simón, DEC
Tough fight to call. Yadong has a lot of power, and could finish Simón here, but I'll go with Ricky by wrestling to win a dominant decision (or a sub, maybe).
Lucindo vs. Walker
Iasmin Lucindo, TKO, R2
I think Lucindo will finish Brogan to make a statement here. Her fight against Jauregui really impressed me (from both sides). Brogan struggled badly against Miller, and we just saw what Veronica Macedo did to her.
Rosa vs. Dumont
Norma Dumont, DEC
I can't go with someone who almost lost against Lina Lansberg by having problems with fight IQ. Norma is the better fighter here, and she's a dog, so I'll bet her a small amount (WMMA for me is just about betting the dog ones from now on).

Only thing is that is they any proof Pavlovich can wresle, He's only loss is to Overemm by wrestling and now he fighting one of the best heavyweight wrestler ever, Curtis being able to wresle is a cheat code in heavyweight MMA because most can't do that
Pavlovich could sleep him quick because it heavyweight, But what will happen if that don't happen

Blaydes can wrestle but he's not much of a grappler if that makes sense. Once he gets you down he just lays in full guard. He doesn't really pass guard or take the back. Also his takedown entries are kind of predictable. Damn I think I'm talking myself out of picking him 😅
04.13.2023 | 3:02 PM ET
Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 275 Points | Tied for 2869th
The problem with Curtis is that we really don't know if he's gonna wrestle heavily or not. If he takes Pav to the ground, he can easily finish him with some nasty gnp, but I can't trust him to do it. It's gonna be a great fight though, as longs as it lasts!

Pavlovich vs. Blaydes
Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R2
I won't pretend to ignore that this pick is very biased but I think that Pavlovich's streak comes to an end by the actual best heavyweight in the world , pavlovich is a hammer there is no denying it but that's what he is a hammer pure offense which to be fair could come back to bite me if he just steamrolls curtis but I don't think so if you look into pavlovich's pre-ufc run you might get the impression that he could give 5 rounds but dude was looking very Ivan Drago esque if you understand what I'm reffering to literally look him up in his fight night global days dude is likely off cycle and without this secret juice i highly doubt this guy has the gas to go to deep waters with heavyweights best wrestler , the overeem fight was 5 years ago but is still quite important to lookback to I don't think curtis will smash Sergei in that dominant of a fashion but after rough first round I aspect the takedowns will start landing and control time will be racking up in heaps I expect Sergei will get tired pretty quick and we're looking at a 2nd or 3rd round TKO from the actual best Heavyweight on the planet
