Prediction: Dusko Todorovic via Decision Medina only got his UFC shot because he survived a beating on Contender Series. He didn’t show high level skill, he showed toughness, and while that’s respectable, it’s not enough when you’re going against someone who actually has the tools to pick you apart. Since…

Prediction: Joaquim Silva via KO Puelles needs this fight on the ground. His whole game is built around grappling, and when he gets it there, he’s slick, creative, and dangerous. But the problem is how he gets it there. His entries are slow, predictable, and from way too far out.…

Prediction: Tatiana Suarez via Decision Lemos' got the power, the sharper striking, and her takedown defense has come a long way compared to earlier in her career. The problem is, Suarez is exactly the type of fighter that makes those improvements look irrelevant. You can stop the first shot or…

Prediction: Toss Up (Lean Gurule) Aguilar has all the tools to win. He’s strong in the grappling, he’s got legit power in his hands, and when he’s on, he can rack up control time or create big moments that swing rounds. The problem is he’s got this bad habit of…

Prediction: Costa via TKO Costa fights with that kind of mean streak you want to see. The aggression is nonstop, and the foundation of his whole game is those brutal leg kicks. They’re not just range finders either. He’s throwing them with the intent to chop you down, and when…

Prediction: Alice Pereira (NO BET) I’m on Pereira here, but it’s not a confident pick because she’s still green. She hasn’t had that real test yet against quality competition, and this matchup is a big step up. These are the kinds of fights you don’t throw money on—you watch closely…

Prediction: Rodrigo Sezinando via Decision On the feet, Sezinando got heavy hands, but that’s actually where he’s at a slight disadvantage. Donchenko is the cleaner striker overall. He picks his shots well, plants on them with real weight, and once he finds that range and rhythm, he starts flowing with…
