Karine Silva at + money is a must bet. Feel like that line will swing wildly once we get past 300

Karine Silva by submission right?
She hasn't lost since 2019, will be much bigger and more aggressive than Lipski, and at home on her back with the high rubber guard (not that lipski would dare). Submission in the 1st is my take.

Arianne used to accept getting taken down to throw up silly sub attempts from bottom, but it seems like she has been focused on defending them now to keep it standing and use her kickboxing. In her last 3 fights she has defended 21 out of 21 takedowns and looked very impressive against Casey O'Neil (I do think Casey was overrated and think Karine is much better). Should be a great fight, and I expect the winner to get a big step up after this. Rooting for Lipski but there is definitely bias involved .

Nicolau vs. Perez
Matheus Nicolau, DEC
Thank God ufc 300 delivered because it left us with the filler card of all filler cards. Going with the guy that actually trained for a 5 round fight. Nicolau has a bad chin but is the more well rounded guy
Spann vs. Guskov
Ryan Spann, TKO, R1
Spann is a dumbass but he's dangerous early and Guskov is extremely hittable
Silva vs. Lipski
Karine Silva, SUB, R1
Sadly this is probably the 2nd best fight on the card. Lipski improved her game big time last year she is a dangerous well rounded fighter but I just think Silva is a beast and can get an early submission
Diniz vs. Lane
Jhonata Diniz, TKO, R1
Glory kickboxer Diniz should easily ko trash lane
Pearce vs. Onama
David Onama, TKO, R2
Tough fight to call but I don't see pearce being able to out grapple onama all fight without getting ****** up on the process
Means vs. Medic
Uros Medic, TKO, R2
It's hard to pick 40 year old Tim Means but I do think he has more of that dog in him than medic does. I can see medic fumbling a finish then end up gassing and getting finished but I'm still picking medic
Yahya vs. Henry
Victor Henry, DEC
Henry is more well rounded and yahya is a grandpa
Hubbard vs. Figlak
Michal Figlak, DEC
Hopefully figlak has improved in his time off because I'm just fading Austin Below mid Hubbard
Mayes vs. Machado
Caio Machado, DEC
Dontale mayes is a big dumb dumb. Probably the more athletic guy but I think Machado is the better fighter
Souza vs. Mann
Ketlen Souza, DEC
Fading trash marnic mann. What kind of name is marnic
Llontop vs. Green
James Llontop, TKO, R1
Picking a 24 year old making his debut worries me but he doesn't show any huge holes in his game as of yet and Gabe green isn't really dangerous anywhere
Petrović vs. Liang
Ivana Petrović, DEC
Na liang knows how to fight for about 1 min then is useless
Hayisaer vs. Benítez
Maheshate Hayisaer, TKO, R2
Don't know how benitez is still in the ufc. I guess because he's kill or be killed but he's mainly on the bad side of that & only finishing bums. Although maheshate got torched by slava his last fight I still think he's the more durable guy in a standup fight in this match

Nicolau vs. Perez
Matheus Nicolau, DEC
Man this is such a downgrade from 300 but it’s aight. I’m hoping this main event can be somewhat decent but Nicolau isn’t exactly known for exceptionally exciting fights. He knocked out Schnell only because Schnell is a guy known for having bad defense and a poor durability. Perez is weird. He’s well rounded but I don’t see any area where he’s particularly great. Nicolau is kind of the same but more calculated in his approach. I just see Nicolau being the faster of the two and pot shotting his way to a UD
Spann vs. Guskov
Ryan Spann, TKO, R1
Fun fight but neither guy is particularly skilled. Especially Guskov who I see as a guy who can only beat the bottom tier of the division. Of course Spann ain’t great either but he has the skills to steamroll Guskov like Volkan did
Silva vs. Lipski
Ariane Lipski, DEC
Honestly this fight just depends on if Lipski can defend the takedowns. If she does I think her Kickboxing is plenty clean enough to cruise to a decision win. But if silva gets a hold of her she is strong on the ground. She hits hard too so Ariane is gonna have to be on high alert. I see it as the bookmakers do. Slight edge for Lipski but very close fight
Diniz vs. Lane
Jhonata Diniz, TKO, R1
Perfect fight to open up for Diniz tbh. Lane is very unimpressive. He’s athletic but his power isn’t great for his size and he screams 3 and out in the ufc to me. Diniz’s knockout power should be more than enough
Pearce vs. Onama
Jonathan Pearce, DEC
Banger fight. Onamas loss to Nate the train has aged very good and he looked improved against Santos. Pearce dropped his last one but I still like his nonstop pace and pressure to give Onama problems. However if he gets into a striking match he might be very ******. Onamas power is very impressive
Means vs. Medic
Uros Medic, DEC
Pretty cut and dry here. Medic got cooked last fight but he was fighting a caveman so I gotta give him a major pass there. Means is old and just doesn’t look like he can compete with legit guys anymore. I don’t consider Fialho to be that good. If he wrestles I see him having a chance. Other than that I see a UD for Uros or a mid to late fight TKO

Can someone explain why Ryan Spann is a favorite on Tap right now ? This dude lost a decision against the corpse of Anthony Smith.
If Guskov loses to this guy he might as well end his career right there.
