LFA 200: Johns vs. Douglas Main Card Quick Picks

Super quick picks article for the LFA 200 main card. This card is broadcast at 09:00 PM ET on UFC Fight Pass on Saturday so this could be a great card to watch during a typical UFC timed broadcast.

ELIJAH JOHNS (10-2) vs. LERRYAN DOUGLAS (11-5) – Featherweight Championship

Elijah Johns is a non stop wrestler but I think his biggest weakness is his striking. He mostly throws jabs but is easily pressured and seems to avoid striking. Lerryan Douglas is a pressuring boxer with fantastic take down defense and lots of power in his hands. I think this fight is a good match up for the underdog to get a big win.

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

SHANNON CLARK (5-1) vs. CHEYNNE BOWERS (5-1) – Women's Flyweight Championship

This is not going to be a fun fight. Both are wrestlers but Clark's style is to pressure and win in the clinch against the cage using her size. I think Bowers has better striking and a grappling threat, as well as the physicality required to defend Clark's take down attempts.

Pick: Cheyenne Bowers to win by SUB or decision. Low-medium confidence.

VANILTO ANTUNES (16-7) vs. SHAMIDKHAN MAGOMEDOV (9-1) – Welterweight Championship

Antunes is a brawler but that's about it. His grappling is non existent and he doesn't take a punch very well. Magomedov is very well rounded but doesn't shoot for as many take downs as you would expect. If he does wrestle here he should be able to win pretty easily.

Pick: Shamidkhan Magomedov to win in round 1. High confidence.

JOEY HART (6-2) vs. CHRIS MIXAN (5-1) – Welterweight

This is a good match up for Hart as he is a very dynamic striker fighting against a basic boxer.

Pick: Joey Hart to win by KO/TKO or decision. Medium confidence.

DEVON LOZEJ (7-2) vs. ENRIQUE PACHECO PARRA (8-1) – Flyweight

The winner should fight on DWCS as they are both pretty fun grapplers. Pacheco is more dangerous as he has many defensive submissions but Lozej looks like the much better wrestler, and the better striker.

Pick: Devon Lozej to win by decision. Medium confidence.
