Contender Series 2025: Week 5 Predictions

On a great DWCS run going perfect for 3 cards in a row. Honestly, I think this could be a rough one though. A lot of fighters on this card don't have much tape available and if so, it is against very poor competition. Going to be a tough card to predict.

ANTHONY GUARASCIO (3-0) vs. STEVEN ASPLUND (5-1) – Heavyweight

Pick: Anthony Guarascio by KO/TKO. Low confidence.

SHANELLE DYER (6-0) vs. CAROL FORO (8-1) – Women's Strawweight/Flyweight

I thought this fight was at flyweight but tapology has it listed at strawweight.

Pick: Shanelle Dyer by decision. Low confidence.

CAM TEAGUE (9-1) vs. LERRYAN DOUGLAS (12-5) – Featherweight

Douglas is the biggest favourite on this card but stylistically Teague is a bad match up for him.

Pick: Lerryan Douglas by KO/TKO. Low-medium confidence.

CHASEN BLAIR (7-3) vs. SAMUEL SANCHES (10-1) – Lightweight

Terrifying that this is my most confident pick on the card.

Pick: Chasen Blair by submission. Medium confidence.

FELIPE FRANCO (8-0) vs. FREDDY VIDAL (3-0) – Light Heavyweight

Franco looks super fraudulent but it's hard to tell if a short notice Vidal is going to be the one to show that.

Pick: Felipe Franco by submission. Low confidence.
