Prediction: Brad Tavares via TKO The massive gap in striking and the near-impossible path to victory for Gerald Meerschaert if he can’t get it to the mat. Tavares is levels above Meerschaert on the feet—faster, sharper, and fundamentally sound, while Meerschaert is slow, predictable, and wide open for counters. Given…

Prediction: Torrez Finney inside the distance Torrez Finney is the clear side in this fight, and it comes down to one thing—his wrestling. Valentin might have some raw power and a finisher’s mindset, but that doesn’t mean much when you’re getting taken down at will. His striking approach is built…

Moneyline Pat Sabatini (+180) Vanessa Demopoulos (-102) Torrez Finney (-220) Daniel Frunza (-155) Over/Unders Murphy/Emmet Over 4.5 (-175) Frunza/Mckee Over 2.5 (-115) Barbosa/Belbita Under 2.5 (+140)

Prediction: Daniel Santos (Winner) Both fighters have defensive flaws, but Santos is the one who will be pressing forward, keeping Grant on the back foot, and landing the higher volume of strikes. Grant is dangerous because he throws wild, looping shots with serious power, but there’s little setup behind them.…

Prediction: Daniel Frunza via Decision Frunza is an aggressive but measured striker—he’s constantly moving forward, but he does so while maintaining range, baiting his opponents into reacting. His best weapon is his ability to time his opponent’s striking entries, either beating them to the punch or slipping and countering with…

Prediction: Pero Falcão via Decision Pedro Falcão vs. Victor Henry is a fight where the value is on Falcão, primarily because of how relentless he is with his grappling. He’s not a one-dimensional fighter—he can strike when needed—but what makes him so effective is that he fully understands his strengths…
