Prediction: Gregory Rodrigues (Winner) Rodrigues is the side here. Yeah, his last fight wasn’t pretty—he gassed hard, early. But don’t let that fool you into thinking he’s suddenly gonna change who he is. That man fights one way, and it’s straight up violence. He walks you down, stays in your…

Prediction: Jose Delgado via Decision Let’s talk Hyder Amil first. The dude fights like he’s on a mission to break the Octagon in half. He pushes a crazy pace, throws everything with 110% power, and just tries to drown you with pressure. But the problem is, it’s all raw. There’s…

Prediction: Toss Up (Lean Mckinney Sub). Terrance McKinney is the definition of “kill or be killed.” Dude comes out like his controller batteries are about to die. Full sprint. No chill. He’s either putting you down with bombs or dragging you to the mat and drowning you in grappling pressure.…

Prediction: Jhonata Diniz via TKO Let’s start with the obvious: yeah, Diniz off his back isn’t exactly elite. If you’re gonna beat him, that’s the blueprint—get him down, keep him there, and chip away. But here’s the catch—Hines isn’t really that guy. He’s capable of wrestling, sure, but that’s not…

Prediction: Jacobe Smith via TKO Let’s not sugarcoat it. Smith is just younger, faster, stronger, and he’s got that real “I’m here to take your job” energy. The dude’s not playing games. He doesn’t waste time trying to rack up cage control or look for slick submissions—he’s hunting violence. That…

Myktybek Orolbai via Submission (+400) Melissa Mulliins via TKO/KO/DQ (+220) Irina Alekseeva Rd 2 or 3 submission (+550) Hill/Roundtree Over 2.5 (+100)

Prediction: Khalil Roundtree inside the distance My pick is Rountree, and it’s not because I think Hill’s washed—it’s because this version of Hill, the one we’ve seen post-title, just isn’t the same cold sniper that rose up the rankings. And against someone like Rountree, who’s all violence and explosion with…

Prediction: Rafael Fiziev via Decision Let’s be real: this line is wild. Fiziev as anything short of a clear favorite is just another case of fans falling in love with the new shiny name and forgetting what elite actually looks like. My pick is Fiziev, and I’m saying that with…
