Jackson have a chin and its the only thing he need to beat Cooper. Jackson 30-27. Hope Jackson-Magomedkerimov happen in the next champ vs champ event.

Cooper III vs. Jackson
Ray Cooper III, SUB, R3
Absolutely hate this fight. Cooper is not only washed but he doesn’t even seem to care about fighting anymore. Jackson is gonna be way bigger and is in his prime. He couldn’t finish a wank but there’s such a big skill/size gap here that maybe he can pull something off. Either way this is a dumb fight

Ali Walsh vs. Palacio
Biaggio Ali Walsh, TKO, R1
Biaggio Ali bum got lucky with opponent change. The time to fade is coming

@StyleBenderPicks  Actually, there will be. There will be one per year until the Bellator roster is folded fully into PFL which will likely be in 2026.

Ray Cooper III

Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 275 Points   |   Tied for 1550th

Cooper’s wrestling might not be at the level of Brunson or Magomedkerimov, but he is a well rounded fighter. There has definitely been a change since he won the season in 2021, but there is no denying he is highly skilled striker and wrestler when he is at his best.

Ferreira vs. Bader
Ryan Bader, TKO, R1
Ferreira is a huge, scary dude. There is a big chance he could catch Bader clean and knock him out early, Bader has been hit before. But Bader has also fought huge dudes before without getting knocked out, and he is a great HW wrestler. If he gets Renan down I don't think he'll squander the chance like Goltsov did. Give me Bader as the more skilled, smarter fighter to get the stoppage with ground and pound.

Kasanganay vs. Eblen
Johnny Eblen, DEC
Impa looked good as a LHW, and if he was still in the ufc would probably be an ok middleweight as well. But Eblen is way too good. Impa has power but is fairly slow and Eblen is really well-rounded and defensively sound.

Pinedo vs. Pitbull
Patricio Pitbull, DEC
I'm going back and forth on this one. Pinedo looks amazing lately and I wish success for him, but I also want Pitbull to keep proving his legacy to casuals. I'm leaning Pitbull because his two recent losses were at different weight classes, and he beat taller strikers like Adam Borics (and McKee) only a year ago. As long as he returns to his confident ways, I think Pitbull can win. But I am not confident and may change my mind, lol.

Cappelozza vs. Nemkov
Vadim Nemkov, SUB, R2
Nemkov all day. I think he's one of the best fighters in the world. It will be interesting to see him at heavyweight, is the only catch.

Santos vs. Romero
Thiago Santos, DEC
I love Yoel but I'm leaning toward the slightly younger guy in Santos.

Collard vs. McKee Jr.
AJ McKee Jr., DEC
This one should be awesome. I think Mckee is the better grappler and can probably hang fine on the feet, but it's a big test for him! Clay is beatable but super tough and has skills.

Cooper III vs. Jackson
Jason Jackson, DEC
I've come around on Jackson. I didn't think much of him because although he was winning, he was coasting and getting decisions that weren't against impressive competition. But the way he shut down Amosov, even if Amosov had an off night, that proved something to me. Hopefully this looks like his last fight, but even if it's boring again he should get the win. Cooper doesn't seem motivated lately, and apparently isn't going to try to make 170 for this one. But I hope both guys bring it because this could be exciting if they are both at their best.

Braga vs. Pico
Aaron Pico, DEC
I saw that Braga's father died, that's really sad and I hope he's coping ok and it won't affect his career. However, I really like Pico. He has a ton of tools and I think he's smart enough to use them all.

JJ's fight against Megomedkerimov was interesting, he had JJ winning, since Megomedkerimov is of a lower level, who suffered in his fight against Solomon Renfro, well this match is now history

I saw sheilds and desantis going back and forth on ig comments about how sheilds apparently can’t make weight for a made up weight class. Not only that, but she apparently declined a catch weight at 162. How fat is she lmfao
