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. Kicks, punches in combination, clean mechanics, solid shot selection—it’s all there. He’s fluid when he gets going. But the issue is how he gets going.…

Prediction: Christian Leroy Duncan via TKO Duncan’s footwork is going to be the story of this fight. He doesn’t give you a stationary target to key in on. He’s in and out, switching angles, showing you looks, and then blitzing when it’s least expected. Anders, on the other hand, plods…

BEST BET PARLAY Christian Leroy Duncan + Fili/Rodriguez Over 2.5 (-140) Moneyline Iasmin Lucindo (-190) Roman Dolidze (+270) Over/Unders Fili/Rodriguez Over 2.5 (-220) Fernandes/Stoliarenko Under 2.5 (-180) Edwards/Cachoeira Over 2.5 (-180)

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…

Prediction: Uros Medic via TKO Gilbert Urbina doesn’t get enough credit for how smart his offense is. His striking is clean, he picks his shots better than people think, and when he mixes in the wrestling, it’s actually well-timed. He’s not just spamming double legs or flailing combos—there’s method behind…
