Irene Aldana vs. Norma Dumont

Irene Aldana vs. Norma Dumont

I want to be all over Norma Dumont here. She is big, knows how to slow a pace and can grapple. If she 30-27'd Germane in her last fight then I would be all in. But she didn't, she was clearly not the better striker (which was expected) but she took too long to start...
Manuel Torres vs. Ignacio Bahamondes

Manuel Torres vs. Ignacio Bahamondes

I don't really know what to do here because this is such a good matchup. Manuel Torres looked like the real deal in his last fight. But Ignacio is no slouch himself. The knock on him in the past was that he wasn't always aggressive, but he definitely was in his last...
Yazmin Jauregui vs. Ketlen Souza

Yazmin Jauregui vs. Ketlen Souza

This should be Yazmin all day. She is the much more technical striker and has more than enough takedown defense to keep it on the feet. My one and only concern here is Ketlen's power. Ketlen throws heat and I watched Yazmin get put out live at UFC 290. She should be...
Edgar Chairez vs. Joshua Van

Edgar Chairez vs. Joshua Van

Edgar is not that good and I feel like you're getting a discount here. Yes, Josh Van was just knocked out by Charles Johnson who doesn't typically have that KO power, so thats not a great look, but skill for skill, Van is the better fighter here. Clean striking,...
Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Aoriqileng

Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Aoriqileng

Listen, Aoriqileng is a tough guy, pretty durable and certainly well rounded enough to hang. But Raul should win here and the line reflects that. Raul will need to strike though and has hopefully improved. You only need to go back to last October to watch Aoriqileng...
Matt Schnell vs. Cody Durden

Matt Schnell vs. Cody Durden

This is a very different fight for Schnell. Before he was fighting a powerful striker who was going to light his legs up. Now he is fighting a chinny wrestler who isn't very dangerous. Even though this is a “safer” matchup, I do not think it is an easier...
