Tom Nolan is getting his first main event, and he is the more dangerous striker in this matchup. I do think his best path to victory is by knockout. Renato Moicano is a good point-fighting striker, and I do think he could hang in a 5-round striking match. I also like Moicano to have the grappling edge, and he could win by sub in any round, or win minutes on the mat. I have to side with the old vet. I’ll take Moicano by submission.

This is Julian Erosa’s retirement fight, and those don’t typically go well for older fighters. Erosa is a high-volume striker and an even better grappler. He has a poor chin, though, and has taken a lot of damage. JeongYeong Lee is a fast and explosive striker. I am going to take him to send Erosa into retirement with his 9th TKO loss.

This should come down to who can control the range. If Alexander Volkov can stay on the outside, he is the more decorated striker, and he'd probably win a volume-based decision. Rizvan Kuniev needs to close the gap and land power shots, or get into the clinch. He can also mix in takedowns and that’s where he would have most of his success. Volkov has way more high-level experience and 33 more professional fights. I am going to side with him to do enough over three rounds and earn a unanimous decision win.

This should be a fun striking match. Lone’er Kavanagh is more technical, but Ramazan Temirov is more dangerous. Temirov is also more powerful and durable, and I think he'll finish the fight. Give me Temirov to land a big KO shot at some point and get the win.

Joaquin Buckley is explosive and powerful, and he is live for a KO here. That said, I think Mike Malott is the more skilled fighter overall, and he has KO power too. I think Malott's biggest edge in this fight is his submission game, which is why I’ll pick him to win. I think he'll finish Buckley at some point.

Louis is Charles Jourdain's brother, and he is making his UFC debut here after a submission win on DWCS a couple of weeks ago. Timothy Cuamba is well-rounded but low-volume, and he'll want to get takedowns and maintain top control here. I like Jourdain to be faster, flashier, and more dangerous on the feet. I’ll take Jourdain to win at least two rounds if he doesn't finish Cuamba first.

This should be a fun fight. I expect a striking match, but either guy could mix in takedowns, with Andre Fili being more likely to use his grappling. Fili is more experienced and has fought and beaten better competition. Kai Kamaka is younger and lands more volume on average. I think it will be close, but I like Fili’s overall skills more, and I’ll take him to do enough to win by decision.

Christian Leroy Duncan is the more explosive striker. I like him to have the overall striking edge, mainly in power and danger. Brendan Allen is a good point-fighting striker, and he can hang with CLD on the feet. I think Allen’s grappling edge is the biggest advantage in this fight, and it would be smart of him to wrestle heavily here. I’ll take Allen by submission at some point.

Both guys are on losing streaks and could be fighting for their jobs here. Ismael Bonfim is more experienced and well-rounded, but he looks washed and is more of a front-runner now. Bonfim likely starts hot and then slows down after Round 1. Francisco Prado is the guy who I’d trust to fight for my money late, and he could get a KO in any round. Give me the underdog by knockout.

These women are both high-level strikers, and this could be a fun one. Natalia Silva is faster with better movement and kicks. Cong Wang is more powerful and has better boxing. I do think Silva has a slight edge in striking, but I also think she is more likely to mix in takedowns. I have to side with her to win 3-4 rounds on the cards and take a unanimous decision.

This is an interesting matchup. Roman Kopylov is a skilled kickboxer, and he can give Ateba Gautier trouble on the feet if his chin holds up. Gautier is pure power and explosiveness, and it could take him only one shot to knock Kopylov out. I think Gautier is more likely to finish. I’ll go with him to get the KO.

This is a fun fight, and I like both guys. Alden Coria is the better and more technical striker at range. Imanol Rodriguez is an aggressive striker with big power in both hands, and he will be the stronger and more athletic fighter. I think Rodriguez is the more effective wrestler and will do more in top control, so I like him to win a decision if he doesn't finish Coria first.

I think the biggest edge in this fight is Rodolfo Vieira’s grappling/submission game. Robert Bryczek is more dangerous on the feet, but the striking can go either way over 15 minutes. I’m going to take Vieira to get the fight to the ground and pull off an early submission win.

Raul Rosas is a very good grappler, and if he can keep this fight on the mat, then he has the edge. Raoni Barcelos is a lot older, but he is the more well-rounded fighter, and he is good on the mat himself. If he can use his wrestling defense to keep this fight standing, then I think he'll rack up points with his striking and steal a decision. I’ll side with the underdog here, and I think he is live for a TKO as well.

Norma Dumont is the better striker here, but Ailin Perez is the better wrestler. Whoever keeps this fight where they want it should get her hand raised. I like the wrestling-heavy pace Perez sets, and if she can land 5+ takedowns, she'll keep enough control time to win a unanimous decision.
