I appoint Marthin Hamlet at -175. He has a gifted anaconda. Hamlet can deny the dark horse.
Silveira vs. Kei
I select Josh Silveira at -600. He has a creative facebuster and a xenotropic harai goshi. Silveira can penetrate the performance.
Flores vs. Torres
I tap Daniel Torres at -250. He has a laudable demeanor. Torres will ravage the masterpiece.
Loughnane vs. Moraes
I am sticking with Brendan Loughnane at -700. He has a nasty guillotine. Loughnane could quash the underdog. Заруби ceбe на носу!
Hendricks vs. Kasanganay
I elect Impa Kasanganay at -150. He has a yellow-bellied piledriver and a groundbreaking back mount. Kasanganay must sabotage the counteragent. I bet my life on it!
Monte vs. Flores
I am loyal to Delan Monte at -200. He has a laudable spinning back fist and a xenotropic right hand. Monte is gonna block the cycle.
Wade vs. Jenkins II
I believe in Chris Wade at -175. He has a quixotic spinning back elbow and a kempt crucifix. Wade ought to prevent the victory.
Khaybulaev vs. Kudo
I am sticking with Movlid Khaybulaev at -700. He has an intelligent spinning back elbow. Khaybulaev should best the underdog. Beep boop!
Jotko vs. Fleury
I am with Krzysztof Jotko at -270. He has a kosher hammerfist. Jotko isn't about to capture the chosen one.
Wilkinson vs. Santos
I embrace Rob Wilkinson at -190. He has a venomous kouchi gari. Wilkinson is about to toss the cage. Fix und fertig!

Brendan Loughnane, TKO, R2
Moraes actually has a path to victory where he uses a bunch of leg kicks on the heavy lead leg of Loughnane but that's considering he doesn't get blasted before it starts taking a toll on Brendan and even if this fight reaches later rounds, Loughnane is so much better as the fight goes on that I just don't know how effective it can be. This will most likely end very unfortunately for Moraes

Brendan Loughnane, TKO, R1
The Marlon Moraes situation is really sad at this point. Surely if he had won against Sheymon Moraes, Marlon would have received a Tune up in his first fight this season, but by losing by KO again, PFL is going to use the value of his name as a former WSOF Champion and UFC Former Title Challenger: that is why he They put up against the current PFL Champion and I wouldn't be surprised if Marlon's next fight is against Movlid or Chris Wade. Marlon was knocked out 2 times before his big run that led him to become WSOF of Fighting champion, but in his first 2 fights in the UFC he was nearly dropped 2 times against Assunção and Dodson drops him in at the start of the fight, he's chin was never exactly granite but his fighting style always made him a fighter with great chances of knocking out his opponent in the first exchange or his first head kick landing (as he did with Sterling and Rivera). The term glass chin is often an overreaction of many fans regarding the KO loss or KO loss percentage of a fighter, but that is very relative to the fighting style, the more you have standing fights against fighters with good KO Power, the more chances you have of winning by KO or get knocked out, Glass Chin for me was Gray Maynard who was dropped 3 times before being knocked out by TJ Grant (BJJ Fighter), who was also stopped by Nate Diaz punches (Nate is a Volume striker and not a really power hitter) and even Maynard knocked himself with a bad slam (the botched slam KO thing is something much more understandable) or Marvin Eastman who was brutally knocked out by One Punch KO of Travis Lutter (BJJ Fighter who only won by KO or TKO on that occasion), What is real is that with so much accumulated punishment I don't think Moraes can take a good shot for any striker with Good KO Power. from his last loss by KO and how that fight developed I think Moraes is at a point of no return it is not a matter of being stunned or wobble or being rocked for a single punch, at this point Marlon is probably flash dropped by any good strike of a decent power hitter or any strikes that Marlon can't see and block.
Wilkinson vs. Santos
Thiago Santos, TKO, R2
Thiago Santos may have gone through some rough times after double knee surgery, but I think he still has the level to do great things in PFL and I think he has the tools to knock out Wilkinson. I'm really interested if Shoeface is going to fight again this year in PFL.
Jotko vs. Fleury
Krzysztof Jotko, DEC
Jotko winning by decision unless caught by KO shot or a deep submission attempt
Khaybulaev vs. Kudo
Movlid Khaybulaev, DEC
Kudo has a really surprised addition to the PFL roster last year and in my opinion he arguably defeated Brendan Loughnane in the fight that ended by technical decision. But the Japanese has shortcomings in his ground game and tonight he faces a ground specialist like Movlid, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and the possibility that this fight will be more competitive than it seems on paper, but Movlid by submission Seems like a pretty likely scenario to me.
Wade vs. Jenkins II
Chris Wade, DEC
Wade has evolved incredible since the 2021 PFL season, his head kicks are really dangerous and his takedown defense is really good. Bubba Jenkins made it to the finale last season but his only way to win this fight is with a heavy wrestling plan and his Wade two years ago was able to stop him I see it as highly unlikely that strategy will work tonight.
Hamlet vs. Fakhreddine
Mohammad Fakhreddine, TKO, R3
Hamlet has bad cardio, if the fight reaches the third round Mohammad will most likely knock out a really exhausted Hamlet from so many wrestling scrambles.
Pinedo vs. Braga
Gabriel Alves Braga, DEC
Braga is going to beat Pinedo despite taking the fight on real short notice. Pinedo was released of his UFC Contract after only 2 fights due to a conflict of interest with his ex-agent (His agent got Pinedo the contract to enter the UFC and once Pinedo left his management, the agent exerted influence to remove him from the UFC). Braga is a good fighter from the Brazilian regional circuit and has already fought in promotions such as the LFA and PFL Challengers Series, achieving victories. The Brazilian circuit is much higher than the level of the Peruvian promotion, Pinedo was practically inflating the number of victories in his record in recent years at the Peruvian Circuit, but I don't think that this was synonymous with an improvement in his level.

EDIT: Should add that the value is pretty good at -110. Seemed too good to pass up for a guy as dominant as Movlid who can finish a guy either way, especially given his opponent. I think the PFL gave Movlid and Loughnane the easiest matchups possible to start knowing a rematch between the two is probably their ideal championship fight for this season.
