Prediction: Youssef Zalal via Submission Emmett’s been to the top and had his peak moment against Calvin Kattar, but that fight exposed how limited his style has become. He’s fallen into this trap of relying almost entirely on his power, but for good reason. His right hand is still a…

Prediction: Joe Pyfer via Decision Pyfer is a headhunter—he swings heavy and every punch has bad intentions behind it. Magomedov, on the other hand, is more of a layered striker. He’ll mix levels, touch the body, throw in kicks, and keep things more diverse. Early on, that variety can give…

MONEYLINE Punahele Soriano (-230) Daniel Santos (-133) Magomed Ankalaev (-260) OVER/UNDERS Ankalaev/Pereira Over 3.5 (-135) Prochazka/Rountree Over 1.5 (-135) Santos/Yoo Under 2.5 (+140) Pyfer/Magomedov Over 1.5 (-155)

Prediction: Auteba Gautier via KO Rd 1 Gautier has always been known as a powerhouse, but the big difference now is he’s not the same wild brawler he was on the regionals. Since finding his current team, he’s cleaned things up. He takes his time, sets up his boxing, and…

Prediction: Edmen Shahbazyan via TKO Muniz has that world-class jiu-jitsu, and when he gets guys down, he’s a nightmare. He’s long, he’s strong, and he knows exactly how to use his size to lock up control and work towards submissions. That’s always going to be the red flag when picking…

Prediction: Farid Basharat via Decision Gutierrez has always had that glaring hole on the ground. When he gets taken down, there’s no urgency to scramble back up and no real skill set to threaten off his back. He basically just accepts bottom position. Farid’s top pressure is heavy, he’s slick…

Prediction: Daniel Santos inside the distance Yoo’s already proven you can’t just rush in on him. He’s sharp enough to punish reckless entries, and with Santos, that’s exactly what makes Round 1 so dicey. Santos is chaos. He pushes a ridiculous pace, throws volume nonstop, and honestly fights like defense…

Prediction: Macy Chiasson via Submission Yana has definitely leveled up her striking. Her footwork is sharper, she’s mixing in kicks, and she’s strong enough to make it really hard to just grab hold of her and drag her down. Early on, that’s going to be a problem for Chiasson. She’s…
