  • Marc Diakiese vs. Damir Hadzovic Prediction

    Marc Diakiese vs. Damir Hadzovic Prediction

    We have a scrap in the Lightweight division, as Marc Diakiese takes on Damir Hadzovic. Coming off an important victory over Viacheslav Borschev, which halted a two-fight skid, Diakiese returns to the octagon looking to make it two straight. Nearing six years with the UFC, Diakiese is going to need to do better than his 6-5 UFC record if he is ever going to realize his dream of becoming a UFC champion. Meanwhile, Hadzovic returns to the octagon for the first time in 2022. Having been out for over a year, which isn’t the first time, Hadzovic will look to finally build off his victory over Yancy Medeiros. A fight that was important for Hadzovic, as he avoided three straight losses and a potential exit from the UFC.

    An important fight for both, as the loser will not only find themselves at the bottom of the division, but potentially fighting for another organization next. Diakiese is a dynamic striker, who of late, has improved his wrestling abilities significantly. Having landed eleven takedowns in his most recent fight, Diakiese has proven that he isn’t one dimensional and can embrace the grind if he needs to. Given Hadzovic’s takedown defense sits around 37%, I would suspect that the Bosnian is going to face a lot of wrestling in this one. However, if Hadzovic can keep the fight upright, his power on the feet will come into play. With seven of his fourteen victories coming via knockout, Hadzovic isn’t someone to take lightly on the feet.

    In my opinion, this is Diakiese’s fight to lose. With advantages in the wrestling department, as well as a five inch reach advantage on the feet, Diakiese will be comfortable wherever this fight goes. Having never been stopped via strikes in twenty professional fights, Diakiese has the durability to withstand Hadzovic’s one real strength. Then again, I don’t believe that strength ever see’s the light of day, as I predict that Diakiese uses his wrestling to cruise to a decision victory.

  • Nathaniel Wood vs. Charles Rosa Prediction

    We have a showdown in the Featherweight division, as Nathaniel Wood takes on Charles Rosa. In a funk, that has saw Wood drop two of the last three, Wood comes into this fight needing to get back on track. Nicknamed the prospect and look every bit of it early, Wood is going to need to prove that he can get by the veterans of the division if he is to ever advance himself up the ladder. Meanwhile, Rosa enters this fight urgently needing a victory. Having dropped two straight and three of the last four, Rosa is turning into a gatekeeper with little hope of every challenging for the title.

    This is an important fight for both, as neither can continue the snide they are currently on. Wood, is a well rounded fighter, who has excellent motor. Eclipsing over 100 strikes in back-to-back fights, Wood is relentless with activity from the opening bell to the end. Not just a striker, Wood has shown to be an adequate wrestler with good grappling. Something in which could be a huge factor in this fight, as Rosa’s 38% takedown defense has been the root of many of his defeats. Mainly profiling as a striker, who will mix in a takedown once in awhile, Rosa is tough and a willing brawler. With eight submission victories though, Rosa is no slouch on the ground. However, he has had trouble keeping stronger grapplers from implementing their game on him.

    In what could be a fun fight, I’m going with Wood. With an excellent gas tank and a well rounded game, Wood can comfortably take this fight wherever he wants. The only thing that Rosa has going for toughness, which is why I predict that Wood will win this fight via decision.

  • Makwan Amirkhani vs. Jonathan Pearce Prediction

    A clash in the Featherweight division division see’s Makwan Amirkhani take on Jonathan Pearce. Coming off an important victory in his career, one in which halted a three-fight skid, Amirkhani returns to the octagon looking to continue his winning ways. Starting his UFC career 5-1, there is still hope that the 33-year old Amirkhani can make some noise at 145 pounds. Meanwhile, Pearce comes into this fight looking to continue his climb up the totem. A winner of three straight and eight of his last nine, Pearce has been on a tear. Adding another victory in this bout, over a veteran like Amirkhani, would align Pearce with a top fifteen foe next.

    This is an intriguing fight in the Featherweight division, that has two very realistic scenario’s. One, the grappling and submission ace Amirkhani gets this fight down to mat. From there, his control and submission prowess see him either bank two rounds or put a halt to this fight. Two, the wrestling workhorse that is Pearce, uses his heavy pace and cardio to outlast the fading Amirkhani. While normally, option two is something in which I have favored, especially considering Amirkhani’s gas tank being so poor. Seeing Pearce be taken down twice and almost submitted a few times in his most recent fight against a debutant, I am concerned that he can be caught.

    With that said, I’m going on a limb here and picking Amirkhani. Knowing all to well that he will fade in the later rounds, and probably get finished by a cardio machine-like Pearce, I have an inkling that Amirkhani will get this fight to mat early and have his chance to put a halt to this bout. With twelve of his seventeen wins coming via submission, as well as two of Pearce’s losses coming via submission, the ingredients are there for Amirkhani to get it done. My prediction, while knowing the danger, is Amirkhani tapping out Pearce.

  • Muhammad Mokaev vs. Charles Johnson Prediction

    The lone Flyweight fight on the card features Muhammad Mokaev and Charles Johnson. A credentialed and rising superstar, Mokaev returns to O2 Arena looking to replicate his successful UFC debut victory over Cody Durden. A fight in which only lasted a mere 58 seconds. Undefeated and only 21-years old, Mokaev is a legitimate prospect worth monitoring. Meanwhile, Johnson comes into his UFC debut a winner of four straight. Looking to play spoiler, Johnson heads into enemy territory with a goal of hushing the crowd. With eight of his eleven wins coming inside the distance, Johnson has the abilities to do such.

    As the second biggest favorite on the card, Mokaev will look to continue his dominance in mixed martial arts. Well rounded, Mokaev showed in his last fight, that he’s got some pop in his hands. However, his wrestling and grappling abilities are what really standout. A four-time IMMAF gold medalist, the Dagestani born is a mauler like fellow countrymate Khabib Nurmagomedov. Wanting all the smoke is Johnson. An Interim LFA Flyweight Champion, Johnson comes into his debut with double the experience as Mokaev. Backed back an excellent gas tank, which has shown it’s teeth in four straight scheduled five round fights, Johnson is going to bring forth a heavy pace. With a boxing background, Johnson has shown to be a formidable striker with some good pop.

    Coming into enemy territory is one thing, doing it in your UFC debut is another. While Johnson has talent and will find success inside the octagon, this is a fight that leans towards Mokaev. With superior wrestling and grappling, expect Mokaev to get this fight to the ground and rack up control time. Not sure if a finish comes to fruition, given Johnson has never been stopped, I’m going to go ahead and predict that Mokaev wins via decision.

  • Jai Herbert vs. Kyle Nelson Prediction

    Jai Herbert vs. Kyle Nelson Prediction

    An early contender for a performance bonus comes in the Lightweight division, as Jai Herbert takes on Kyle Nelson. A loser of three of the last four, with all three losses coming inside the distance, Herbert comes into this fight needing to right the ship. Nearly pulling off an upset win over Ilia Topuria in his most recent fight, Herbert returns to the O2 Arena hoping to get the job done this time around. Otherwise, his tenure with the UFC will likely meet an end. Meanwhile, Nelson comes into this fight in the same boat as Herbert. A loser of three of his last four, all of which he was stopped in, the Canadian moves back up to the Lightweight division seeking a spark. A much needed one, as another loss will likely result in Nelson’s walking papers.

    The judges won’t be needed in this fight, as both men are proven finisher’s, who have yet to see the scorecards during their UFC tenure. Herbert is a striker, with excellent power. Having dropped and nearly upset Ilia Topuria in his last fight, Herbert has proven that he is very dangerous on the feet. However, there are some glaring flaws in the Brit’s game. Lacking durability, Herbert has been knocked out in three of his four losses. The other loss came via submission, which isn’t surprising given his lack of wrestling and grappling. Perhaps looking to exploit those vulnerabilities is Nelson, who is a striker, but has attempted to wrestle in the UFC. Attempted being the key word, as Nelson has only landed two takedowns at a 12% accuracy in four UFC fights. With power on the feet, Nelson has proven to be dangerous early in the fight. As the fight wanes, so does he and his durability however.

    In what is bound to be an exciting fight for however long it last, I’m going to side with Herbert. Knowing Nelson lacks the necessary wrestling to give Herbert fits, this fight will play out on the feet. An advantage for Herbert, as his power and size should overwhelm Nelson – who might I add is coming up from Featherweight. With a two-inch height and six-inch reach advantage, expect Herbert to get the better of Nelson on the feet and eventually put the Canadian down via TKO.

  • Mandy Bohm vs. Victoria Leonardo Prediction

    Mandy Bohm vs. Victoria Leonardo Prediction

    A preliminary card clash in the Women’s Flyweight division, see’s Mandy Bohm take on Victoria Leonardo. Coming off an unsuccessful UFC debut, which was Bohm’s first professional defeat, the German comes into her second appearance hoping for better results. Having had more cancellations than fights throughout her career, Bohm has been limited to eight bouts in nearly eight years as a professional. Luckily at 32-years old and in the Flyweight division, Bohm has time on her side to make a run. Meanwhile, Leonardo urgently needs a win. Dropping her first two UFC fights, both by TKO, Leonardo has had a tough time finding her footing inside the octagon. Taking nearly a year off since the last fight, Leonardo should come into this bout recharged and ready to roll.

    The urgency to win should be apparent in this fight, as both women seek their first UFC victory. Bohm is a striker, who lacks wrestling, but is most effective inside the clinch. It’s there where Bohm has landed nasty elbows and has used her grappling to get the fight to the mat. On the feet though, Bohm likes to keep distance and pump a jab. An effective strategy that could come into play in this fight, as she is sporting a seven inch reach advantage. Needing to get in the pocket is Leonardo. A fairly well rounded fighter, Leonardo boasts physical strength and overall activity. Doing a nice job blending in takedowns with her striking, it’s a little underwhelming that Leonardo has seen little success in the UFC thus far. Then again, Leonardo’s striking defense was abysmal on the regional scene and has reared it’s ugly teeth in her two UFC appearances.

    Expecting this fight to be close, I’m going to side with Leonardo. Obviously the concerns are striking defense, cardio and the fact that Bohm boasts a seven inch reach advantage. However, if Leonardo can get inside and physically bully Bohm against the cage, she can neutralize the German. With a takedown or two, Leonardo has the strength and grappling to hold down Bohm for long periods of time. In doing such, I could see her bank the first two rounds before slowing down in the third. So with that said, I predict that Leonardo will win via decision.

  • Nicolas Dalby vs. Claudio Silva Prediction

    Nicolas Dalby vs. Claudio Silva Prediction

    A pair of veterans clash in the Welterweight division, as Nicolas Dalby takes on Claudio Silva. Returning to the octagon for the first time in 2022, Dalby will look to rebound from a loss to Tim Means. Having faired better during this second UFC stint, with a pair of big wins over Daniel Rodriguez and Alex Oliveira, Dalby is a victory away from re-positioning himself for an opponent near the top fifteen. Meanwhile, Silva comes into this fight on a two-fight skid. A first in Silva’s career, who had previously won fourteen straight, with five of those coming inside the octagon. Nearing an end to his fighting career, the 39- year old can’t afford to drop another fight.

    This is an intriguing fight, that could go either way. Silva is a ground specialist, who has exceptional grappling and submission abilities. Having landed a takedown in all seven of his UFC bouts, Silva has parlayed that into five victories, including one over Leon Edwards. With good though comes bad, as Silva’s cardio is problematic. Slowing down in the later rounds, Silva’s takedowns become less effective and he becomes more vulnerable to being tagged on the feet. A blueprint to beating the Brazilian that Dalby will certainly look to capitalize on. A well rounded fighter, Dalby is adept to fight wherever the fight goes. With a karate background and some good boxing skills, Dalby makes it a priority to attack the body and chop down the legs. Using his physical strength, Dalby looks to control opponents against the cage and look for a takedown. More often than not however, he has lacked in successful getting the fight to mat.

    There are several scenario’s that could play out in this fight, which makes it hard to predict. For example, if this fight were to end early, it would be because Silva got the takedown and submitted Dalby. However, if Dalby weathers the initial storm, he should be able to outpoint a visibly gassed and wild striker in Silva. Given the Brazilian’s age and his recent skid, I’m going to side with Dalby. So with that said, I predict Dalby wins via decision.

    Yair Rodriguez

    vs. Alexander Volkanovski – In a fight destined to a barnburner, saw Brian Ortega suffer a shoulder injury that halted the bout in the opening round. Unfortunate, but a part of the game, Rodriguez nabbed an important win. One that should see him challenge for the Featherweight title. Obviously, Volkanovski has been clamoring for a shot at the Lightweight title and quite frankly, has every right to. However, with the announcement of Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev in October, there is a timeline that could see Rodriguez get a title shot in December.

    Amanda Lemos vs. Marina Rodriguez – While Rodriguez deserves a title shot, given Zhang’s popularity and performance against Joanna Jędrzejczyk, there is little chance the former Champion isn’t getting the next crack at the title. On the backburner, Rodriguez will presumably need to emphatically make her case for a title shot. This is where an opportune Lemos steps in, who has developed herself into one of the more feared finishers in the division.

    Li Jingliang vs. Michel Pereira – After a stretch that saw Jingliang drop two of three fights, the “Leech” bounced back with an excellent stoppage victory over Muslim Salikhov. Still ranked in the top fifteen, a fellow ranked opponent in Michel Pereira would make for a logical next fight. It would also be really exciting.

    Matt Schnell vs. Matheus Nicolau – In an all-time performance, that saw an unbreakable will to win, Schnell pulled off an epic comeback victory over Su Mudaerji. Following the victory, which undoubtedly elevated his stock immensely, Schnell called out Matheus Nicolau. A perfect next fight for both top ten fighters.

    Shane Burgos vs. Ilia Topuria – After improving his record in New York to 7-0, Burgos seems like a shoe-in to return to the octagon in November at MSG. A logical fight would be against a fellow top fifteen foe in the undefeated Ilia Topuria.

    Lauren Murphy vs. the winner of Viviane Araujo vs. Alexa Grasso – Coming back from a rough title loss to Valentina Shevchenko, Murphy returned to the octagon with a flawless victory over Miesha Tate. While Murphy called out the winner of Manon Fiorot vs. Jessica Andrade (or Katlyn Chookagian), if Fiorot wins, she has every right to challenge for the title. With that in mind, what makes more sense is the winner of Viviane Araujo vs. Alexa Grasso. A fight that takes place in August.

    Punahele Soriano vs, Gregory Rodrigues – Ending a two-fight skid, with an excellent knockout victory, Soriano finds himself back in a position to climb the totem. Seeing that Gregory Rodrigues just won a month ago, I could definitely see the UFC pair the two heavy hitting sluggers against each other.

    Ricky Simon vs. Rob Font 2 – Despite being buried on the preliminary card, Simon picked up a huge win over the undefeated Jack Shore – which extended his win streak to five. Potentially finding himself in the top ten come Monday, Simon is in line for a big fight. Obviously wanting a piece of Sean O’Malley, after yet again calling him out, Simon realistically could strive for bigger things. For one, nearly the entire top-ten is booked. Only Rob Font, Pedro Munhoz and Petr Yan are available. Given Munhoz just fought and has an eye injury, he wouldn’t make sense. Yan being ranked one, probably wouldn’t take the risk. Which leads me to a rematch against Font. The number seventh ranked fighter.

    Bill Algeo vs. Ricardo Ramos – Surviving what seemed like a fight ending triangle-choke, Algeo went on to stop Herbert Burns. Showing off his well rounded game along the way, Algeo put the Featherweight division on notice with his second consecutive win. A fun next fight to make, would be against Ricard Ramos.

    Dustin Jacoby vs. Ryan Spann – Since returning to MMA, Jacoby has been on a mission. Unbeaten in the last nine fights, Jacoby notched an excellent knockout victory over a solid foe in Da Un Jung. Firmly entrenched in the top fifteen, it’s time for Jacoby to climb. Sitting at twelfth and coming off a submission win over Ion Cutelaba is Ryan Spann. A perfect next foe.

    Dustin Stoltzfus vs. Joseph Holmes – With three straight losses coming in, Stoltzfus’ UFC career hung in the balance. After a tight first round, Stoltzfus got his game flowing and took the last two rounds to notch UFC victory number one. Given his placement near the bottom of the division, it’s only right to pair him against a fighter in a similar position in Joseph Holmes – who too just notched his first UFC victory in May.

    Emily Ducote vs. Luana Pinheiro – Following a solid debut victory over Jessica Penne, Ducote has firmly entrenched herself into the division’s top fifteen. A good next step, without pushing her too quickly, would be against a fellow top fifteen fighter in Luana Pinheiro.

    Brian Ortega

    vs. Bryce Mitchell – Unsure how long Ortega is expected to miss with his shoulder injury, it’s hard to grant his request of a rematch with Yair Rodriguez. Given the injury could result in a lengthy absence, this prediction is based on timing. As long as Mitchell has another fight soon, and wins, I could see him earning a top five foe. Ortega would stylistically be an intriguing fight, that could see two of the best grapplers in the division tangle.

    Michelle Waterson vs. Amanda Ribas – If the UFC would add an Atomweight division, Waterson would be the first to fight for the title. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like something that the UFC has in the woodworks. Given that, Waterson will have to have to continue her trek in a division full of bigger foes. A perfect next fight would against Amanda Ribas. A fellow ranked fighter, who unsuccessfully forayed up to Flyweight in her last fight.

    Muslim Salikhov vs. Tim Means – While a win would of catapulted Salikhov into the top fifteen, the loss was his first in the past six fights. Still on the outside looking in, but not too far off, a fight against an exciting veteran in Tim Means would make for an exciting clash.

    Su Mudaerji vs. David Dvorak – In an epic fight against Matt Schnell, one which earned “Fight of the Night” honors, Mudaerji fell short. Rocking Schnell multiple times, it had appeared like Mudaerji was nearing a stoppage. Unfortunately for the Tibetan, that wasn’t the case, as Schnell pulled off a tremendous comeback. While the loss hurts, Mudaerji’s ranking and stock should remain relatively unimpacted. With that said, a top ten fight against David Dvorak wouldn’t be out of the realm.

    Charles Jourdain vs. Alex Caceres – While Jourdain did not sway the judges, who’s scorecards were all over the place, the Canadian swayed the fans with an impressive third round. Given Jourdain almost won the fight and notched his name among the division’s top fifteen, he shouldn’t be penalized in his next fight. One in which should be against Alec Caceres, who fell out of the top fifteen following a defeat to Sodiq Yusuff.

    Miesha Tate vs, Cynthia Calvillo – Not sure if Tate will continue to fight after seeing her plan to leapfrog herself into a title shot fail. However if she does and at Flyweight again, a fight against Cynthia Calvillo would be ideal for both. Especially considering they are in ruts and urgently needing a victory to get there careers back on track.

    Dalcha Lungiambula vs. Jordan Wright – If the UFC grants the former EFC champion, who has lost three straight, another shot, a fight against a fellow struggling Middleweight in Jordan Wright would make sense.

    Jack Shore vs. Casey Kenney – Suffering his first professional defeat, Shore may require some additional time off. However, upon his return, a fight against Casey Kenney, who thwarted from the division’s top fifteen following back-to-back losses against Dominick Cruz and Yadong Song would make sense.

    Herbert Burns vs. Darrick Miner – If Burns suffered a leg injury, he will presumably be out for the rest of the year. Unsure of his timeline, a fun fight in the horizon would be against a fellow submission artist in Darrick Miner.

    Da Un Jung vs. Ion Cutelaba – Seeing a fifteen-fight unbeaten streak snapped, as well as a chance to crack the division’s top fifteen not come to fruition, Jung will have to get back on the horse. A fun next fight that could position Jung back to knocking on the division’s top fifteen, would be against the madman that is Ion Cutelaba.

    Dwight Grant vs. Alen Amedovski – Dropping his third straight and fourth in the last five, there is a possibility that Grant may be cut. However, if granted another shot, a fight against someone somehow on the roster still in Alen Amedovski would make for an ideal pink slip fight.

    Jessica Penne vs. Kanako Murata – With all the lost time due to a suspension, it was tough to see Penne’s two-fight win streak halted. At 39 years old, her chances at a title shot may be over – unless the UFC opens up an Atomweight division for her and Michelle Waterson. However, if Penne continues, a fight against Kanako Murata would make for an intriguing clash of styles.
