What splits them
๐ฌ FormPicks Commentary
A true toss-up, and I won't pretend otherwise. Gane takes less damage and has the 8.0in reach edge, but Hokit is busier and younger. I'd expect it to go the distance. Hokit's takedowns could undo it if he drags Gane to the ground.
We are reading the room. Check back Friday night, ahead of kick-off.
Ciryl Gane wins by KO 12%, by submission 7%, on the cards 29%. Josh Hokit wins by KO 24%, by submission 6%, on the cards 23%.

Kayla Harrison
to win on the cards
๐ฌ FormPicks Commentary
Kayla Harrison on the cards, and not a lock. She takes less damage and is harder to take down, so I like her to grind out a decision over five. The fight likely goes the distance. What could undo it is 17 months out of the cage and getting out-struck on volume.
Amanda Nunes is 17 months out and Kayla Harrison is 1.4 years out, so the layoffs roughly even up. She is out-struck on volume and carries a 3.0in reach deficit, yet she has won 4 of the last 5 and beat Irene Aldana by decision last time out. Her path is timing her moments and making the fight messy enough for experience to count.
We are reading the room. Check back Friday night, ahead of kick-off.
Kayla Harrison wins by KO 17%, by submission 14%, on the cards 38%. Amanda Nunes wins by KO 8%, by submission 5%, on the cards 17%.

Yousri Belgaroui
to win on the cards
๐ฌ FormPicks Commentary
Belgaroui is rolling right now, three wins from three, while Borralho is living off his name. I like Belgaroui on the cards, likely by decision and probably the distance. His busier striking and reach should keep him in control. The risk is Borralho taking him down and winning the takedown battle.
Caio Borralho has won 4 of his last 5, and his last time out was a decision win over Reinier de Ridder. At 18-2 and ranked #6, the record shows a fighter who has beaten good people and kept winning. His path runs through the takedown battle, since the older man wins this if he can control where the fight is fought.
We are reading the room. Check back Friday night, ahead of kick-off.
Caio Borralho wins by KO 8%, by submission 7%, on the cards 23%. Yousri Belgaroui wins by KO 28%, by submission 4%, on the cards 30%.

Won 3 of 5, 1 as an underdog
Last DEC v Randy Brown

Kevin Holland
to win on the cards
๐ฌ FormPicks Commentary
Two strikers, so the question is range and the ground. Holland's 10-inch reach edge and his tougher takedown defence should keep Medic at arm's length. I'd back Holland on the cards, though I expect a stoppage before the bell. The risk is Holland getting out-struck on volume, and he's the older man.
Uros Medic has won 4 of his last 5, and his last fight ended in a KO/TKO of Daniel Rodriguez. Kevin Holland is 7 months out, and that layoff matters against a 14-3 striker ranked #9. Keeping it standing and punching looks far more doable against a man this long removed from the cage.
We are reading the room. Check back Friday night, ahead of kick-off.
Uros Medic wins by KO 30%, by submission 2%, on the cards 13%. Kevin Holland wins by KO 17%, by submission 9%, on the cards 30%.

Won 3 of 5
Last DEC v Francisco Prado

Charles Radtke
to win on the cards
๐ฌ FormPicks Commentary
Charles Radtke to win on the cards, and I'd expect it to go the distance. He's younger, harder to take down and on a run, so I lean his way without it being a lock. Stephen Thompson, a striker, is 1.3 years out from a decision loss to Bonfim. The thing that could undo this is Radtke getting out-struck on volume.
Stephen Thompson has won 1 of his last 5, but he's 17-9-1 as a striker and his path runs through the feet. Charles Radtke is 7 months out, and that layoff raises real questions about his timing. If the fight stays on the feet and the rust shows early, Stephen Thompson's hands give him a live shot.
We are reading the room. Check back Friday night, ahead of kick-off.
Stephen Thompson wins by KO 11%, by submission 3%, on the cards 20%. Charles Radtke wins by KO 18%, by submission 10%, on the cards 39%.

Last SUB v Renato Moicano

Chris Duncan
to win on the cards
๐ฌ FormPicks Commentary
Expect this one to reach the cards rather than end early. Duncan gets the nod on the scorecards, helped by his youth, takedown threat and ability to take less damage than Dober. It's no certainty, though, and Dober's power is the risk, since one clean shot could flip it.
Drew Dober's last win was a knockout of Michael Johnson, and at 29-15 he is a striker who can make the first minutes count. Chris Duncan is 7 months out, so early rust is a real problem. Dober wins if he keeps the fight standing and catches Duncan before he finds his timing.
We are reading the room. Check back Friday night, ahead of kick-off.
Drew Dober wins by KO 14%, by submission 4%, on the cards 21%. Chris Duncan wins by KO 15%, by submission 11%, on the cards 34%.

Last SUB v Jared Gordon

Terrance McKinney
18-9-0
Won 3 of 5
Last KO v King Green

Terrance McKinney
to win on the cards
๐ฌ FormPicks Commentary
Miller has the longer record, but McKinney is the busier, younger striker, and I'm backing him. His takedown threat and 2.0in reach should keep him in control. Expect a stoppage, with McKinney edging the cards if it goes the distance. The risk is him absorbing more damage, as he did against Green.
The problem with McKinney is that Jim Miller absorbs more damage and still wins, taking 3 of his last 5. He submitted Jared Gordon last time out, and his balanced 39-19 record shows he wins more than one way. Miller's chance rests on soaking up the early pressure and keeping the fight off the ground.
We are reading the room. Check back Friday night, ahead of kick-off.
Jim Miller wins by KO 6%, by submission 5%, on the cards 11%. Terrance McKinney wins by KO 24%, by submission 25%, on the cards 29%.

Cesar Almeida
7-3-0
Won 2 of 5
Last KO v Damian Pinas

Donte Johnson
to win on the cards
๐ฌ FormPicks Commentary
The ground decides this one, and Johnson's takedown threat and tough-to-take-down frame favour him. Almeida is a striker who needs to keep it standing, and Johnson takes less damage. I like Johnson on the cards, likely by decision. The risk is Almeida out-striking him on volume.
Cesar Almeida is a 7-3 striker, so a fight that stays on the feet suits him. He's been out-struck on volume and has won 2 of the last 5, but the power in his hands keeps him dangerous. His path runs through clean exchanges and a chin that holds, since his last loss to Damian Pinas ended by KO/TKO.
We are reading the room. Check back Friday night, ahead of kick-off.
Donte Johnson wins by KO 21%, by submission 15%, on the cards 39%. Cesar Almeida wins by KO 6%, by submission 3%, on the cards 15%.

Last DEC v Arnold Allen

Melquizael Costa
to win on the cards
๐ฌ FormPicks Commentary
Gordon getting Costa to the ground decides this, since that wipes out Costa's 3.0in reach edge. I like Costa on the cards, most likely by decision, and this one probably goes the distance. Gordon taking him down or out-striking him on volume is what could undo it. Costa's younger and takes less damage, so I'm siding with him.
Costa's game is built to put Jared Gordon on the mat, and Gordon gets taken down and is out-struck on volume. Still, he's 21-9 and has won 2 of the last 5, even after losing to Jim Miller by submission. His path runs through staying on his feet and out-working Costa there.
We are reading the room. Check back Friday night, ahead of kick-off.
Jared Gordon wins by KO 9%, by submission 6%, on the cards 24%. Melquizael Costa wins by KO 15%, by submission 10%, on the cards 36%.

Bia Mesquita
to find the finish on the ground
๐ฌ FormPicks Commentary
Bia Mesquita's three straight wins look real, and her submission of Melissa Mullins backs that up. Macy Chiasson is back after eight months out and a loss to Ailin Perez, so rust is a worry. I like Mesquita to finish it on the ground, most likely by submission. Her 5.0in reach deficit could keep her at range, and that's the risk.
Macy Chiasson is 11-6 and ranked #14, a balanced record that keeps her live despite 2 wins in her last 5. The 5.0in reach deficit hurts on the feet, so her route runs through takedowns and control on the ground. Should she close the distance and keep it grinding, the recent decision loss to Ailin Perez looks like a blip.
We are reading the room. Check back Friday night, ahead of kick-off.
Macy Chiasson wins by KO 9%, by submission 5%, on the cards 24%. Bia Mesquita wins by KO 9%, by submission 30%, on the cards 22%.
