Prediction: Almabayev via Decision Almabayev doesn’t need to win a striking battle. He just needs to use his movement, his IQ, and that calm, measured tempo to force Ochoa into bad spots. His footwork isn’t just defensive—it’s strategic. He glides in and out, sets his feet with purpose, and never…

MONEYLINE Asu Almabayev (-109) Amanda Ribas (-169) Nikita Krylov (-185) OVER/UNDERS Yahya/Nguyen Over 1.5 (-200) Leal/salikhov Over 1.5 (-155) Whittaker/Ridder Over 1.5 (-275)

Guskov’s dangerous, no question. He’s got big power, clean timing, and if you give him space to settle, he’ll plant and snipe you. But Krylov’s not going to give him that space. From the jump, Krylov’s going to be walking him down, forcing reactions, and mixing it up between the…

Prediction: Carlos Leal Rd 3 -390 is a little wild. Salikhov might be getting older, but the man is still sharp, still fast, and still dangerous when he gets into rhythm. That counter-striking is real, and when he finds his timing, he can put guys out cold or at the…

Prediction: Da'Mon Blackshear via Submission or Decision Blackshear is the clear side here. He’s the more complete fighter, straight up. He’s got clean, accurate striking when he picks his shots, he’s defensively sharp, and most importantly, he’s got the wrestling advantage that can completely break this fight open. Grant fights…

Prediction: Amanda Ribas via Decision Ribas has been in there with killers and held her own. She’s battle-tested, and this is a level Ricci just hasn’t reached yet. Stylistically, Ribas is a huge problem for Ricci. On the feet, Ribas is way more polished. She’s got real striking at range—clean…

Prediction: Ibo Aslan via TKO He’s explosive, confident, and when he touches you clean, it changes the whole fight. On the feet, there’s levels to this—and Elekana just doesn’t have the weapons or durability to stand and trade with a guy like Aslan. That said, I’m staying off the bet.…

Prediction: Steven Nguyen via Decision He's not the most technical, he’s not the most dangerous—but he fights. He bites down, moves forward, and puts heat on his opponents from the jump. That kind of pressure matters, especially against someone like Yahya who straight up doesn’t like being the one to…
