Don't think Nishikawa will be a backpack like OAM did last fight. Hopefully Burgos has been working on that in case he has to face OAM again

Olivier Aubin-Mercier, DEC
Honestly great fight on paper, but I think in reality this is gonna be a total snoozefest. Romero is a great fighter & really happy to see him get his shot in the big show after getting snubbed from ufc, but he’s not winning. OAM is too ******* good for pfl
Sy vs. Mitchell
Sadibou Sy, TKO, R3
I wonder if this is gonna be another boring decisjon, or if sy has leveled up and gained killer instinct now. He’s really evolved into a phenomenal fighter. He knows how to use his size and kickboxing to outwork pretty much anyone. He’s improved his tdd an insane amount too. Mitchell is trash and should get smoked here
Burgos vs. Nishikawa
Shane Burgos, TKO, R2
Burgos looked dog**** at his debut & im a strong believer that he’s just a meh fighter at 155. However, he’s fighting a kid with good upside, but Yamato is incredibly green. He’s got some dog in him, but he’s just not ready to be in the big show. Also, despite being at 155, Shane is gonna have a huge size advantage here. I hate that Shane is fighting for paychecks now; it took away his fire & he doesn’t like to stand and bang anymore. However, I think he should finish this kid. I like Yamato but he’s too green currently
Collard vs. Ray
Clay Collard, DEC
Collard is a fun action fighter but just that. He’s improved a lot, but his last fight showed why he will never become pfl champ. He still doesn’t know how to check leg kicks. His fight iq in general is just lacking; he could’ve (& should’ve) finished Yamato. Instead, he let him back into the fight and almost lost to leg kicks. All this being said, Ray is hella washed & just not a great fighter. If he does get it to the ground, the fights probably over since clay is a **** grappler still. I worry this cluld be close & maybe even an upset spot, but I don’t think stevie has that fire he once had anymore
Magomedkerimov vs. Zawada
Magomed Magomedkerimov, TKO, R2
Zawada proved in his last fight he’s just not good enough to fight in the big leagues. He’s an ok fighter but clearly outmatched here. That being said, maga isn’t anything special imo. What I don’t like about him is he’s not really the greatest athelte. But he is a very good striker, so I expect him to smoke Zawada
Umalatov vs. López
Magomed Umalatov, TKO, R1
Lopez has such a padded record. He’s a decent fighter, but nothing special. I’m still not really that sold on Umalatov; idk why I just don’t really think striking dagis are that special. However, this is an easy win for him. It will test his tdd however
Schulte vs. Manfio
Natan Schulte, DEC
Idk
Leal vs. Taylor
Carlos Leal, TKO, R1
Damn rip Taylor, you had a nice run. He shouldn’t be in PFL because he’s really green. Not only that, but PFL’s style doesn’t help him grow as a fighter. He gets no time off to improve his skills & this is also gonna be his 7th fight in the last 1.5 years. Activity is great, but eventually it gets to a point where you’re just getting experience, not making improvements. Taylor needs a lot of time off, not only to refine his skills but to give his chin a rest. Coming back 2 months after getting you clock cleaned is a recipe for disaster. He better pull out or else his chin is gonna be glass by his 30’s. Leal is not someone you want to fight if you are chinny
Martinez vs. Miranda
Bruno Miranda, DEC
Martinez is so bad. He’s the king of winning fights he shouldn’t; if you break down his record, he really should be 8-6. Now not totally sold on Miranda. He fought a tin can & couldn’t finish the fight despite scoring like 7-8 knockdowns. His hands are lethal, but his grappling is questionable at best. As much as I dislike martinez, I’m just worried he gets the fight down at some point. Miranda is not a good grappler
Al-Silawi vs. Doumbé
Cédric Doumbé, TKO, R2
Don’t get me wrong, jarrah is a total fraud but he could win this fight. Major experience advantage and he has a grappling advantage. The issue is, he’s too ******* stupid to use it. I mean, jarrah has looked like a literal can since coming to the pfl. I’m still mad doumbe signed to the pfl, after blueballing everyone for months and making us think he was going to the ufc. I’m honestly pretty mad at him for trolling so much; gonna be rooting against him hard in the pfl. That being said, he looks like a really good ufc fighter. He was a phenom in kickboxing and has looked the same way in mma. What makes him so unique compared to other kickboxers making the transition is his boxing. Doumbe is one of the most boxing-heavy kickboxers in the sport. Of course he’s got the kicks, but his hands can do the talking as well; makes the transition to mma much easier. He should ko the fraud jarrah, but lowkey hope he loses for being a prick about signing to the ufc
Zurcher vs. Bardsley
Brahyan Zurcher, SUB, R2
Both grapplers. I have to assume zurcher is just better
Al-Qahtani vs. Brown
Abdullah Al-Qahtani, DEC
Surpised pfl signed this guy. He’s not a finisher but decently exciting. His most recent fight in brave was an absolute banger

Clay Collard, DEC
Collard is the most exciting fighter in the entire PFL.
Al-Silawi vs. Doumbé
Cédric Doumbé, TKO, R1
How is it not on the main card ?! Cédric Doumbé is one of the hottest prospect in the entire world right now, as arguably the best kickboxer of his generation... He showed some decent TD defense thus far in his MMA career, so he could very well follow the steps of Pereira or Adesanya, who knows. Super excited for this, and Al Silawi, while on a bad KO losing streak, is not a bad fighter and by far the best opponent of Doumbé's career. We will learn a lot about Doumbé's MMA potential in that fight.

Olivier Aubin-Mercier, DEC
Mercier was hit and miss over the years it took him a good while to build his striking confidence and skill but its cool to him reach the pinnacle, with MMA being banned in his region makes it very special, maybe there is hope for MMA in Quebec
Sy vs. Mitchell
Sadibou Sy, DEC
I never thught Sy would turn out to be the success story he is when I first saw him in PFL a few years ago... Pretty inspirational with his age too, I hope he gets into coaching he must really know his stuff/how to train
Burgos vs. Nishikawa
Shane Burgos, DEC
At 5 ft 7 shouldnt Nishikawa be fighting at 145 at the very least logically thinking?... Maybe he has heavy bones he doesnt look like he has much weight, but yeah at 5 ft 7 thats a typical 145 frame and not even a skinny one... If they bring him back he needs to drop down. Burgos last 2 wins are solid
Collard vs. Ray
Clay Collard, DEC
Collard should hang in there, if he keeps winning or performing he may get invited back next season, though who knows if he can make the final I will be happy for him he is a gladiator
Magomedkerimov vs. Zawada
Magomed Magomedkerimov, TKO, R1
33 the Masonic high number... And your tournament winner is.......
Umalatov vs. López
Magomed Umalatov, TKO, R1
Lopez is Mexican so he might make it to the 2nd round, but there is something off about a few Dagestani's I have seen lately, they fighting with a rage, a mad look in their eye..... Mountains Unchained
Schulte vs. Manfio
Natan Schulte, DEC
Schulte should have been on the Forbes millionaires under 30... What a great career he has made and he started 1-2 in MMA and started 0-1 in PFL (WSOF)
Leal vs. Taylor
Carlos Leal, DEC
Both are very solid but Leal is the heavy favorite... I suppose he is from Curitiba
Martinez vs. Miranda
Bruno Miranda, DEC
Watched Miranda a few times I like his style powerful Brazilian striking and built well... Martinez is the best Paraguay fighter so far but PFL is very competitive
Zurcher vs. Bardsley
Brahyan Zurcher, SUB, R2
Cobrinha BJJ nice he is a jiu jitsu legend... And training with Brandon Moreno? Cant go wrong there
Al-Qahtani vs. Brown
Abdullah Al-Qahtani, DEC

Al-Silawi vs. Juusola
Jarrah Hussein Al-Silawi, TKO, R1
Silawi faced 2 killers but he can come back next season hopefully or pull outs you never know

Predictions: 8 of 9 Winners, 2 Perfect, 450 Points | Tied for 963rd
Olivier Aubin-Mercier, DEC
However, Olivier Aubin-Mercier's experience, grappling prowess, and ability to weather strikes give him the edge in this matchup. He has faced tougher competition in the past and has the ability to control the pace of the fight with his smothering tactics and effective striking. Ultimately, Aubin-Mercier's experience and well-rounded skill set should allow him to secure a unanimous decision victory.
Burgos vs. Nishikawa
Shane Burgos, DEC
Considering Nishikawa's limited experience against high-level competition and the struggles he faced against T35 Collard, he is predicted to face a tough challenge against Shane Burgos, a more experienced and well-rounded fighter. Ultimately, Nishikawa's toughness and determination may keep him in the fight, but Burgos' overall skill set and adaptability are likely to lead him to a unanimous decision victory.
Collard vs. Ray
Clay Collard, DEC
Considering these factors, I predict that Clay Collard will emerge victorious in this fight. His aggressive striking style, ability to absorb shots, and solid takedown defense should give him an edge over Stevie Ray. Collard's volume and variety of strikes, combined with his durability, are likely to wear down his opponent over the course of the three rounds. I anticipate Collard to secure a unanimous decision victory based on his overall performance and effectiveness in both striking and grappling exchanges.
Magomedkerimov vs. Zawada
Magomed Magomedkerimov, SUB, R2
Considering Magomedkerimov's superior record, well-rounded skills, and previous success in the PFL, I believe he will have the edge in this fight. Given Zawada's vulnerability to accurate striking and his previous knockout losses, I predict that Magomedkerimov will secure a submission victory, most likely in the second round, utilizing his grappling expertise and capitalizing on Zawada's weaknesses on the ground.
Umalatov vs. López
Magomed Umalatov, TKO, R2
Considering these factors, it is likely that Umalatov will continue his winning streak in this welterweight bout. His powerful striking, precise timing, and ability to control the fight should allow him to secure a TKO victory, most likely in the second round.
Schulte vs. Manfio
Natan Schulte, DEC
Considering Schulte's proven track record, dominant performances, and well-rounded skill set, I believe he will be able to dictate the pace of the fight, land significant strikes, and control the grappling exchanges. Given his ability to withstand strikes and maintain forward pressure, I predict that Schulte will win this fight by unanimous decision after three rounds of action.
Leal vs. Taylor
Carlos Leal, DEC
Considering these factors, it is likely that Carlos Leal will win this fight via unanimous decision. Leal's aggressive striking style, power, and ability to control the fight with his clinch work will likely prove to be the deciding factors in his victory over Taylor.
Martinez vs. Miranda
Bruno Miranda, TKO, R2
Considering these factors, I believe Bruno Miranda's aggressive striking style, particularly his powerful hooks, will be too much for Martinez to handle. Miranda's ability to compromise his opponent's legs with calf kicks will likely limit Martinez's movement and make him more susceptible to Miranda's striking combinations. Unless Martinez can effectively neutralize Miranda's striking and implement his own game plan, I expect Miranda to capitalize on his momentum, overwhelm Martinez with his striking prowess, and secure a TKO/KO victory in the 2nd round.
