Edgar Cháirez, TKO, R2
Lacerda dangerous for 1 round, he could be due for a meme 1 round finish, but I’m not picking someone with always loses, also has very bad cardio which I don’t like

Even if Knutsson wins 90% of the time that means you make an 8% ROI on a -500 line, that's just a garbage risk/reward ratio for this type of fight.

But of course, everyone makes their own decisions and best of luck.

Alexa Grasso, DEC
I know Shevchenko is amongst the most decorated champs ever, but the mileage is evident. Granted, Santos and Grasso are both beasts in their own rights, they probably wouldn't have sniffed the version of Shev from a few years back. Her reaction times are much slower (cue Grasso lighting her up with straight lefts), which is deadly for somebody that relies so heavily on drawing attacks to counter as their offensive mainstay. Moreover, the mental advantage is going to lie in the hands of the champ, I'd assume; sure, Val is a veteran who's bounced back from losses before, but after an opening round comprised of varying degrees of success with her gameplan, I think the confidence will begin to wane a little bit, allowing Grasso to take over and either finish again in emphatic fashion, or to run away with the scorecards. I'll go with the latter.
Holland vs. Maddalena
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R2
Jack's last performance was a one-off letdown. It isn't a reliable indicator of his capabilities as an athlete, but even so - having cut weight twice in that short a timespan and still showing up to win against perhaps a decent talent, albeit in shaky fashion, is impressive. Holland is a rangy, awkward striker, and that's what sets him apart from the bunch. His style is immediately, famously associated with him. With that said, there are glaring holes in his defense... one that I expect a sniper like JDM to pick up on, close the distance with foundational movement principles, and make him pay for. The JDM train will be back, rolling on in full steam.
Rosas Jr. vs. Mitchell
Raul Rosas Jr., DEC
Solid rebound for Rosas. He still has a **** load of time to work up to the UFC calibre of competition, and I just hope that he's guided in the right direction. It would be such a shame to see him turn out a mediocre name that once shined owing to his age.
Campbell vs. Reyes
Charlie Campbell, TKO, R2
I had absolutely no idea Reyes was still in the UFC.
