Prediction: Roman Dolidze Late finish or Decision Fluffy’s whole game is built around pace. He overwhelms people. Even technically better strikers fade because they can’t keep up with how many exchanges they’re forced into. But that style only works because his grappling holds up. If he can’t get you down,…

Prediction: Steve Erceg Let’s be real—technically, it’s not close. Erceg’s striking is sharp, calculated, and built around flow. He throws in rhythm, he sets traps, and he can string together combos without ever losing balance or giving away big openings. And when you pair that with his size and length,…

Prediction: Andre Fili via Decision The first thing that jumps out is the speed. Fili’s always had that snappy jab, clean movement, and the ability to switch stances mid-combo without losing balance. That’s gonna be huge here because Rodriguez has to pressure into range to make anything happen—and nothing about…

Prediction: Jean Matsumoto via Decision Jean Matsumoto is the side—but it’s not a layup. At all. The dude’s clearly got the more complete striking arsenal.

Prediction: Elijah Smith inside the distance Let’s keep it real—Kazama is a scrappy dude, but his whole game hinges on getting the fight to the ground. That’s his bread and butter. The problem? He’s not just outgunned in the striking, he’s outmatched in the grappling too. Smith isn’t just strong—he’s…

Prediction: Joselyn Edwards via Decision Joselyne’s striking isn’t wild, but it’s sharp. It’s methodical. She picks her shots, uses her length well, and carries sneaky power. She’s not going out there looking for a firefight—she’s trying to touch you, frustrate you, and make you pay every time you overextend. And…
