Prediction: Islam Dulatov via TKO Islam's got that clean, confident striking style that just flows. There’s no wasted movement, no overcommitting—he stays sharp, smooth, and precise. And when he smells blood? He doesn’t go wild—he goes surgical. That kind of killer instinct, paired with the control he shows when finishing,…

Prediction: Jimmy Crute I’m siding with Crute here—not because I fully trust him, but because he’s got the clearest route to a win: grappling. Crute’s ground game is solid. He’s heavy on top, nasty with pressure, and if he commits to the takedown early, he’s got all the tools to…

Prediction: Brunno Ferreira via KO Rd. 1 Now look, I’ll be honest—I don’t love the size difference here. McVey’s a big dude who’s constantly pressing forward like he’s trying to delete you off the map. He’s got that “I’m coming to finish or die trying” energy, and when guys fight…

Vitor Petrino via Decision (+700) Gabriel Bonfim via Unanimous Decision (+250) Junior Tafa via TKO/KO/DQ Rd. 1 (+250) Valter Walker via Dec. or Technical Dec. (+400)

Prediction: Toss Up - Best Bet: Under 1.5 (-200) Teixeira being the favorite is understandable—he’s younger, longer, and actually fights like he knows how to use that reach. He comes out hot, firing early, aggressive, and looking to get you out of there before the first few exchanges are even…

His takedowns aren’t just brute-force—they’re timed well, chained together smoothly, and once he gets position, his control and submission threat are legit. If he comes in with the mindset…

Prediction: Steve Garcia via Decision Yeah, Garcia is taking a big step up in name value, but don’t get it twisted—his aggression and output are 100% going to give him moments in this fight. Garcia’s not afraid to get into the fire, and that confidence in his offense lets him…
