Josh Walker, DEC
Walker is super talented but he is held back by an awful chin and bad cardio. If he had those fixed, he would be very good. I worry about something failing him in 5 rounds, but he’s the bigger opponent & his opponent doesn’t have crazy ko power
Martinez vs. Efrain
Mana Martinez, TKO, R1
Mana had an unfortunate ufc run. He’s no world beater but I don’t see him losing in fury
Aswell vs. DelValle
Michael Aswell, DEC
Really good matchmaking here
Torres vs. Jones
Justice Torres, DEC
This will be a good test for torres. I thjnk he passes
Melancon vs. Wanderley
Gabriel Wanderley, SUB, R2
Wnaderley looks good on paper, but he still has a lot of holes in his game. I think he should win this fight tho
Despaigne vs. Gregoire
Robelis Despaigne, TKO, R1
Happy to see despaigne is fighting again. He’s such a unique hw prospect. No idea if he will turn out to be any good, but his size and atheltisicm may win him a lot of fights. Also, very rare to see guys that big who can do spinning attacks

Alberto Trujillo, TKO, R4
I am not as high on Walker as some other people, his fight against Petereit still biases me. On the other side I really like Trujillo, his boxing is legit. Walker will be a lot bigger and will have an enormous reach advantage, situation similar to his last fight where he looked at his best. He has good power and Trujillo doesn´t have the best chin, so if Walker gets the nod, it will be early. His cardio did not look good the last time Walker got to the third round, and with that size I don´t expect it to be better. I expect Trujillo to dominate the latter rounds and with such good combinations a bodywork there is a chance he finishes him late. Really good fight regardless
Martinez vs. Efrain
Mana Martinez, TKO, R3
Mana isn´t nothing special but he should edge this. If he wants to get back to the big leagues he really needs to fix those weight issues tho
Aswell vs. DelValle
Yadier DelValle, TKO, R3
Really good matchup, so much that I have both guys with the same grade. The winner will cement himself as a legit contender to enter the big leagues. The key to this fight will be Aswell´s ability to impose his wrestling. Delvalle gets the nod on striking, which in addition to the cuban wrestling background I expect him to defend himself well in the ground, which I think will give Delvalle the win
Torres vs. Jones
Justice Torres, TKO, R2
Justice´s activity is really commendable, he has been fighting decent oposition showing he is a really complete MMA fighter with the very few holes. At this rate, we may see him on a big show before the year ends
Jones vs. Gomez
Aaron Gomez, DEC
Gomez hasn´t wowed me yet, a dominant victory against a gritty veteran like Jones may do it
Melancon vs. Wanderley
Gabriel Wanderley, SUB, R2
I like Melancon, he is really polished and I consider that KO loss a fluke. With that said, Wanderley is a BJJ wonder and may finish the fight at any moment if it hits the ground. Melancon needs to impose his better striking and avoid clinching because Wanderley may pull guard, and it may even work for him.
Despaigne vs. Gregoire
Robelis Despaigne, TKO, R1
Always cool to see a heavyweight with an olympic background
Kennard vs. Foster
Sean Kennard, TKO, R2
The best beard in the game is old for a guy debuting as a pro, let´s see if he makes the most of it
Patrick vs. Culpepper
Diara Culpepper, TKO, R3
Love Diara´s striking, he is a really fun guy to watch
Mederos vs. Lamparez
Marquel Mederos, TKO, R2
Mederos is building a really good resume, he should cruise on this one
Medina vs. De La Cruz
Alex De La Cruz, TKO, R2
NJCAA National champ and looks like he has hands, De La Cruz may be a legit prospect

Peter Caballero, SUB, R2
While both fighters have their strengths, Peter Caballero has a more extensive background in grappling and a solid track record in both amateur and professional fights. Caballero has showcased his proficiency in various chokes, including some rare ones, and has secured five different types of chokes in his victories. With six wins by decision, Caballero has proven his ability to go the distance and control his opponents. In his previous fight, he displayed effective takedowns and back control, hunting for the rear-naked choke and mixing in small strikes to wear down his opponent. Caballero's fluid grappling style and his ability to absorb strikes while implementing his game plan make him a formidable fighter. Considering his experience, well-rounded skill set, and past success, it is likely that Peter Caballero will capitalize on his grappling expertise, potentially taking his opponent's back and securing a second-round submission victory via rear-naked choke.

If I were fighting Sean Kennard, I wouldn't even bother trying to hit his chin or jaw! That beard is a thing of beauty though!
