Prediction: Bekzat Almakan via Decision These are two extremely well-rounded fighters who can strike, wrestle, and defend at a high level, so this ultimately becomes about pace, variety, and effectiveness—and that’s where Bekzat starts to pull ahead. Katona is the more classic, boxing-centric technician. He relies on sharp timing, head…

Prediction: Marc-Andre Barriault inside the distance Silva is a shell of the fighter he once was. The explosive killer who used to pressure with real intent and swing with vicious, fight-ending power has been replaced by a flat-footed, one-dimensional brawler whose only remaining weapon is raw punching power—and even that’s…

Prediction: Charles Radtke via TKO Radtke is a patient, composed striker with sneaky, underrated power—especially in that left hook.

His striking is built around sharp fundamentals, measured pressure, and clean shot selection. He doesn’t rush his work—he breaks opponents down patiently, using feints, distance control, and accurate, snappy shots that don’t…

Prediction: Ion Cutelaba via Decision Modestas Bukauskas vs Ion Cutelaba is a classic matchup of range striker vs pressure brawler-wrestler, and stylistically it’s set up to be a fight where the tides can turn hard after the first round. Bukauskas will likely have the early success—he’s tall, long, and technical.…

Prediction: Jeong Yeong Lee via Decision Santos, for all the entertainment he brings, is a pure Chute Boxe product—relentless, aggressive, and constantly in your face. He throws with wild intent, pressing forward with flurries and pressure, but the core issue with that style is its complete neglect of defense. His…
