Prediction: Kevin Holland inside the distance Rodriguez has solid hands. He’s got that slick boxing rhythm, throws in combinations, and he’s comfortable in the pocket. But the big issue is that he’s kind of a stationary target once he’s in motion. He throws, but his feet stay planted—and that’s a…

Prediction: Dan Ige via Decision Pitbull still has the power. Still has the reflexes. Still has that technical counter game that used to scare guys into freezing. The timing is there, the tools are there—but the willingness to use them? That’s what’s been fading. He was always a patient counter…

Prediction: Daniel Zellhuber via Decision Johnson still has that fast-twitch speed and sharp boxing when he’s in rhythm, but what’s always elevated that speed is his reach advantage. He usually gets to be the longer guy who gets off first and keeps people on the outside. That’s not happening here.…

Moneyline Vinicius Oliveira (-160) Roman Kopylov (-250) Nikolay Veretennikoc (+125) Over/Unders Johnson/Zellhuber Over 1.5 (-225) Spann/Brzeski Over 1.5 (+120) Vettori/Allen Over 2.5 (-325) Poirier/Holloway Under 4.5 (+115)

Prediction: Auteba Gautier via KO I’m picking Gautier to get the win—and get it early—because the guy’s finally figured out how to use the freakish power he’s always had in a smarter, more dangerous way. It used to be all about the knockout with Gautier. He’d load up, try to…

Prediction: Vinicius Oliveria Yeah, Phillips is gonna come out looking slick. The speed, the movement, the clean striking flow—it’s all gonna be on display early. That’s just who he is. The dude’s footwork is top-tier, and when he’s in rhythm, he looks like a problem. But we’ve seen this movie…

Predictiion: Brendan Allen via Decision This pick isn't necessarily about who’s the better fighter on paper, but more about where they’re at right now. And that’s why I’m leaning toward Allen. If this was 2022 Vettori, this wouldn’t even be a debate. That version of Marvin was a tank. Never…

Prediction: Nikolay Veretennikov via Decision Let’s keep it real—Prado’s size did a lot of the work for him at lightweight. He was physical, strong, and explosive for that division, but now at welterweight, all that natural size advantage? Gone. This doesn’t feel like a guy who grew into a new…
