Terrance McKinney vs. Damir Hadzovic

Terrance McKinney vs. Damir Hadzovic

Sure, Damir is old, less skilled and coming off a ridiculous 2.5 year layoff. SO he should and likely loses this fight. But Terrance McKinney is unreliable and chinny. Throwing money down on him at -455 odds is not a wise decision. Just enjoy the fight for what it is....
Bogdan Guskov vs. Billy Elekana

Bogdan Guskov vs. Billy Elekana

This should be a pretty straight forward win for Guskov. Billy isn't a high pace guy and is absolutely a step down in competition. My only concern here is that Bogdan was likely not preparing for a full 15 minutes and Billy is a guy that has no problem dancing...
Zach Reese vs. Azamat Bekoev

Zach Reese vs. Azamat Bekoev

I hate that SD Dumas dropped off this card because Zach Reese was as close to a lock as you can get in this sport. SD is terrible and Zach would've run through him. This is a very different matchup. Azamat is good. He can strike, he can grapple and he has cardio. As...
Islam Makhachev vs. Arman Tsarukyan

Islam Makhachev vs. Arman Tsarukyan

This is a rematch from 2019 where it was the first and only time that Islam has been taken down. It was also a 22 year old Arman making his UFC debut. Ive mentioned before that when I break down rematches, I look at what has changed since the first fight. If nothing...

Merab Dvalishvili vs. Umar Nurmagomedov

If you asked me who wins this fight a week ago, I would've been a little wishy washy, but as time goes on I seemingly am getting more confident. When two high level wrestlers go at it, it usually comes down to who shoots first and in this case, that is likely Merab....
Beneil Dariush vs. Renato Moicano

Beneil Dariush vs. Renato Moicano

Finally, a tough fight to pick. I disagree with how wide this line is. Moicano is more than a 2-1 favorite and while on the surface I understand that Moicano is surging and Beniel is on a skid, but if you go skill for skill in the matchup, it is not nearly as clear....
