UFC Fight Night Vegas 108, TAR versus Park takes place this weekend. And I'm going to go through the entire card, starting with the early prelims, ending with the main event, giving my prediction and breakdown for every single fight on the card. Starting with the early prelim opener of Pierre Rodriguez versus Ketellin Souza. You know what, guys? I'm going to have to go with Katellyn Souza. Now, Pierre Rodriguez does have an ability to take down opponents quite a bit, but Kelyn Souza, she's been taken down a few times in her fights. She's fought better competition than Pierre Rodriguez. We've seen Pierre Rodriguez outgrappled by Julian Robertson and submitted by her in the second round. She's had some iffy performances here and there, but she's coming off a win over Josephin Nutson, who was a kickboxer and didn't really have a grappling game and therefore got exposed in that realm by Pier Rodriguez, who took her down over and over again in the fight. I feel like Ketellin Souza has the experience necessary. She's beaten good prospects before. Yasmin Uregui was an amazing prospect in women's MMA. Everyone was talking about her. Unfortunately, just not masculine enough to get to the top. Got knocked out and chinned by Katellyn Souza. And Katlyn Souza did not have the credentials of Yasmin Uregui or the hype of Yasmin Uregui or the whispers around gyms. I know there was a bunch of coaches talking about Yasmin Uregui, this this girl that we've got in the gym. She's so technical. She's so advanced compared to the other women's fighters. It doesn't matter. Katellyn Souza is borderline not one of you. You know what I mean? So, Katelyn Souza is gonna win. Look at her compared to Pierre Rodriguez. At least Pierre is trying to pass off as one. Uh, Caitlyn Soua is going to win. I I really think that Caitlyn Souza is going to win. This is flawless logic for women's MMA. It works near enough every single time. We're about to watch Nunez versus Kayla Harrison to decide who the GOAT might be. I mean, Kellen Souza is going to win this fight and put hands on Pierre Rodriguez and get the job done by finish in the first two rounds. That's my prediction for this fight.

It's smart to use code guru because then we can both benefit from this. and you can play five and get 50 instantly in lineups. What I'm going to do this week is I'm going to say that Rinan Nakamura is going to land more than 2.5 uh takedowns against Nathan Fletcher. More than 2.5 takedowns. I think Esban Rivovic is going to land less than 81.5 significant strikes. And I think that Tatsu Roter is going to land or going to fight for less than 17 minutes fight time. So that's what I'm going for there. And we're going to resume with the prediction video. Picking back up with Raphael Leto versus Felipe Boon. I'm going with Raphael Leto here over Felipe Boon. I think Raphael Lester is very underrated, undefeated for a reason, 13-0. I will say this though. How does he win some of the fights? Charles Johnson robbed. I mean, we say this a lot about Charles Johnson. All of a sudden, damage don't mean nothing when Charles Johnson's getting controlled in the flyweight division. I swear to God is how it feels sometimes. Rafael Estam, he he won the fight. You know, he took this one on short notice as well. We also, I believe, missed weight for that fight with Johnson as well, which isn't a good look. Um, but he stepped up on short notice here, which means there's a good chance he'll miss weight again, and there's always an advantage to missing weight. That does need to be mentioned. If he's missed it before, taken this one on short notice, I feel like he'll be able to miss it again and have that huge advantage. Um, and only benefit, which is missing weight. Missing weight is a massive benefit in MMA. There's no punishment for it. Um, so Rafael Levan, I think he's going to win this one using his grappling over Felipe Boon. Boon's got [ __ ] up by Joshua Van. He had moments though, everyone has moments, you know what I mean, in fights, but Rafael Levan just seems a little bit too much with his grappling game. And I think he'll be able to do his grappling thing against Felipe Boon and just sort of like win dominant position, get the back, get the rear naked. He's known for going for a bunch of takedowns, working his jiu-jitsu game. Sometimes he can be a little bit too he can be a little bit too non-damage oriented. Like I do worry sometimes in Estan fights like, okay, we've got dominant position, but we need to do something more with this in order to secure ourselves the victory. So I do worry in a way that maybe Felipe Boon could, you know, do more damage in some of the rounds, but I just think Rafael Lev's going to control dominant position too much here. I can see him getting the back. I mean, Felipe Boon has lost seven times in his career, undefeated Rafael Levan. Um, he's had a couple close shaves with some decisions that does need to be said. But overall, his grappling is very good and he is able to implement his grappling in MMA. whether he does it efficiently enough to win. I think Charles Johnson's a little bit better of a counter grappler than Felipe Boon. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I think Rafael Levan will be able to implement his grappling on Boon, win and stall in some dominant positions like the back and the side control and maybe not do all that much, but maybe a submission attempt here and there. Um, but I think he's going to win this one with his grappling. So, I'm going to say Rafael Estan wins this fight by decision. maybe with a really tough third round where Felipe Boon has a really good third round against him. Johnson was beating him up in the third round of their fight. Um, so I'm going to go with Raphael Estam getting this one done based on the first two rounds. 2928. We move on up the card to another fight. Austin Bashy versus John Yanis. Um, I'm going with Austin Basher over John Janis. I always wonder who this person is. It looks like an Uros Medic hairline. Um, maybe a Damon Jackson in his prime with his hairline. Anyone know who the outline silhouette is for these UFC fighters? I feel like I recognize this fighter for some weird reason. I swear that's Uros Medic. I don't know why it's Uros Medic, but I swear that's Uros Medic in like Dana White's Contender Series shorts. I don't know why, but either way, I'm going with Austin Bashi. John shouldn't be in the UFC here. He's ter he's a bad regional fighter. He's fought no one good. He's lost a bunch of fights. He's been dominated on the regional scene. He's been finished on the regional scene. He's fought bums on the regional scene to get wins like a guy who was four and four. And this is a very short notice step up for John Yiannis who happen to have a winning record in the local area at the time. I know Austin Bashy lost his debut. He was undefeated 13-0. Again, one of the most talked about prospects. Unfortunately, he ran into the great prospect destroyer of our era, Christian Rodriguez. I didn't even need to I didn't even need to say the name. You could have guessed someone that fraud checked a featherweight prospect or a bantamweight prospect. If I'm telling you a featherweight prospect got uh fraud checked and a bantamweight prospect got fraud checked, you're listing a name um whatever his [ __ ] name was. Christian Rodriguez immediately he's been frauding all of them and he loses to anyone that he definitely should be. This seems to be the case with him all the time. I don't know why Arosa is so difficult for someone while all of the next best waves of talent are just too easy for him. Um, but Austin Bashi is good. I think he's going to be able to work his grappling. I'm I'm predicting a very easy first round finish for him. I think first round Marina could choke. He'll go out there, mix in the striking a bit. Maybe John Yiannis will do some dynamic stuff. This will get him taken down. And I reckon that Austin Bashi will then get the takedown, get the back, get the reneaked choke. And I think this is going to be quite a cut and dry, simple performance. John Yiannis is not UFC level. It sucks that he's got this opportunity. Well, it's good for him that he's got the opportunity, but it sucks for the UFC that they've kind of had to give him a contract here because I wonder if they're going to give him another fight afterwards. It's kind of interesting discussion that maybe needs to be had, but um yeah, Johnny Yiannis is getting sacrificed to Austin Bashy here. It's tough. Austin Bashy was supposed to fight Francis Marshall, who's a good fighter himself, who would have been a good fight for Austin Bashy that I'm sure he's trained very, very hard for. But John Yiannis, I think he had a fight coming up in a couple of weeks. So, he is ready, but not ready on a week's notice to fight Austin Bashy, a great prospect, and make the weight as well. So, I'm going to go with Austin Bashy getting this one done. Early submission win over John Yanis. That's where the money's at. We move on up the card. Nick Klene versus Andre Pulv. I'm gonna go against Nick Klene because I saw something in him in his fight on uh the contender series against Mans Mansur Abdul Malik and although he had some moments in that fight, he even wobbled Mansur Abdul Malik in a moment as well. He actually cracked him and got him and kind of hurt him a little bit for a moment. Andre Pierv's going to win in my opinion. Now, maybe he's the underdog. I'm not sure. 6'4, ranging as [ __ ] good at range on the feet, good cardio, good grappling instincts, good takedown defense, fought Christian Leroy Duncan gave him a bit of a competitive fight the distance and then Christian Leroy Duncan took over in the third round at the very end of the third round actually and started really beating up on Andre Pierv. But Nick Klein, the Mansur Abdormalik fight, it was just so there's certain fights here where I look at it and I go, you're not a fighter. I'm probably going to get someone's going to be upset about that, but there's certain fights I can't describe it that you look at it and you think you're not you're scared. You are actively a scared man in the in the cage. I don't get that from Pulv. Maybe he's hesitant in moments. maybe he doesn't put the put uh doesn't put the gas on the way he needs to in certain moments, put the uh pedal to the metal the way he needs to and really go for it and you know really grind when he needs to. Maybe there's sometimes he lets things get away from him a little bit but in Nick Klein's fight on the contender series first of all I think he might have a grappling edge. I don't think it's enough to dominate and finish nor completely control Andre Pierv but he's probably going to get some takedowns. I think on the feet Pierv has an advantage but again Nick Klein against Mansor Abdomalik scared man a scared man out there very terrified rocked Mansur Abdomalik and then didn't follow up because he was scared in 2025 as a UFC fighter you're going in there in front of Dana White and I swear to God he was scared of Mansaw Abdul Malik Manser Abdul Malik in their fight timid shying away he was really low down at all time so he could like rear back as much as possible away from all of the shots that were being thrown. He wanted to stumble his way into a victory rather than go out there and get it against Mansor Abdomalik. He wanted to he wanted to fluke Mansor Abdomalik mistake making a mistake and then him getting dominant position and winning from there. He just looked timid. He looked timid and scared. And for that reason, I'm going with the Russian guy, Andre Pulyv. Um Nick Klein could win. Maybe he proved me wrong. Maybe he had a tough fight. You never know what happens with some of these guys, but I can't shake that image of the way he was fighting against Manser Abdul Malik. He's decent at grappling Nick Klein, but I reckon Andre Pierv's a bit more well-rounded and a bit more of a fighter. So, I'm going to go with Pulv getting this one done. We move on up the card. Rulo Vieira versus Tongan Gore. This one's tricky, but Tong Gore just got [ __ ] up so badly about four months ago. Um, which is a decent amount of time, but not enough, dude. He got dropped so many times against Marco Toleo, another Brazilian, but this time a striker, a kickboxer, a very good one at that. A very good guy at mixing in the strikes. I mean, he was putting on a show against Tong Gore. There was a moment where he got cracked himself, but then other than that, it was one-way traffic from Marco Tio, piecing up Tong Gore, hitting combos on him, spinning attacks, all sorts, knocking him down about I think I think he knocked him down about three times in that fight really badly and then finished him with the last one as well. Tio's a beast. So I'm not gonna say our Tong Gore lost to Tio, therefore he'll never be good enough to be anywhere. Tong Gore has definitely got some talent and more talent than his record suggests and more talent than losing by [ __ ] KO to Cody Brandage suggests. He's he's actually a talented dangerous striker. However, one-dimensional, not fluid with his uh footwork, so he's stationary and one-dimensional with his boxing. Occasionally, he's got a good low kick. He's got a nasty guillotine which I think is going to come into play in this fight because he loves to pull a guillotine. Tongan Gore. I know he got a really nasty one on um Josh Fmed I believe it was. And there was another fighter that he got a really nasty guillotine on. Um that looks very very painful. Like the crank that he can get on a guillotine is nasty stuff. But Ralph Oie is a jiu-jitsu god. I know he gassed out against Anthony Hernandez early in his career, but he was doing good in the grappling early on in that fight and then Anthony Hernandez started building into the fight and eventually Vieira got put into a guillotine and tapped because he was exhausted and absolutely exhausted from scrambling with Anthony Hernandez. I reckon though Ralpho Vieiraa is going to be able to take down Ton Gore and if he doesn't I could see him baiting a guillotine and then doing what Bryce Mitchell did to save Namdov. What did I say in the buildup of that Bryce Mitchell saved Namdov fight? I said Bryce is going to win using his control time and grappling, but he's got to watch for the guillotine. And that's what Sade Nebdov went for. But when you do that against someone who has an understanding of jiu-jitsu and wrestling, which Rulo Vieira does, you're going to often give up a takedown. Tan Gore might think, "Oh, I've got him. I'm going to jump this." Oh, now Ralph Vieira's passed over the other side. He's got side control on top position against the cage. I just think it's too much for Ton Gore. He's coming off a loss four months ago. I know Ralph Ovie has been pretty hit and miss recently as well. You know, he lost to Chris Curtis, but he's had some other good I mean, he submitted Arman Petroian in round one. That's an impressive win. He got down and subbed Arman Petroian in one round with an arm triangle. That's very impressive. And I know often here and there he gets into a bit of a shitty striking match, but I think against Tong Gore, he's going to be looking for his takedowns. And I think he's going to get his takedowns against Tong Gore and uh mix it up enough. And also, Vieira is not that bad on the feet. It's not like he's exposed waiting to be chinned on the feet at any moment with really bad striking. His boxing's all right against Chris Curtis. They basically had a boxing match for three straight rounds. And Curtis is decent at middleweight for a boxer. Um, I know at welterweight he might have like met his skill level there and should maybe stick at middleweight where they're a lot worse. But Ralph Fiera was in that fight all the way through the fight. Even though he was getting his worked, he was getting worked to the body by Chris Curtis. He was still in the fight staying composed, staying true, staying technical in moments as well. So, I think Ralfo Vieira is too wellrounded, hard to finish, and uh Will mix in the grappling to get a submission here. Ton Gore's just been finished too many times in my opinion. So, I'm going to have to go Vieiraa. Um but Gore could get an upset. I could so see him pulling a guillotine and Ralph Vieiera passing his guard because of it though. That's a mini in between prediction that I'm going to put out there. But I think Ralph Vieiera wins this fight by submission in round two. I think a round two finish for Adolf Vieira is in store here. We move on. Rin Nakamura versus Nathan Fletcher. I hate this. I hate these ones. Rena's not Rena had a ton of hype. He did off of an American not an American wrestling sorry just a wrestling background. Okay. He had a ton of hype. Freestyle wrestler I believe. Ton of records and n and he's Nakamura. Kita Nakamura I believe was his older brother or cousin or something. He's got lineage to him. He's been doing this for a long time. Riny Nakamura can't throw hands and can't finish a fight on the ground on the feet. He looks lost when he doesn't get his own way. Muen Gaffrov should not be frauding you. I'm sorry. If you're a legit prospect, Muen Gaffarov should not be [ __ ] frauding you. Muen Gaffarov is [ __ ] garbage. End of. If you're a legit prospect, no way. Moo and Gaffarov's handing you your first loss. And that weren't the only red flag in his career, though. Before that, he went to a fight with Carlos Vera, who's had a moment, you know? I think he just like head kicked a dude that he wasn't supposed to beat. Maybe a Bellagio, I think, got head kicked and then re naked choked by him. I'm not sure who it was, but Carlos, no, it wasn't a Bellagio at all, was it? I'm [ __ ] Um, but someone some fighter got rocked really badly by Carlos Vera. Either way, he's an older man. He's got some finishing potential. Rinyan Nakamura beat him, but in that fight, Ryan Nakamura just kind of got stalled out on the ground in like no good positions. Um, didn't really do any damage at all in that fight. On the feet on occasion maybe, but I mean, he moves his feet well. He's an athlete, but I feel like Nathan Fletcher is going to be able to outwork him here with jiu-jitsu ability and with like striking and damage being done. Now, I know Nathan Fletcher just lost to Ken Lanin. Not a good look. I thought he won the fight, but not a good look regardless. I completely understand. I got a feeling about this one though, and I've been feeling it all week, and people have even been saying to me like, "You got you got Nathan Fletcher against Ryan Nakamura." And I've been like, "I do have Nathan Fletcher against Ryan Nakamura." And then someone else will donate in a live stream saying, "Dude, how about Fletcher against Nakamura?" And I'm thinking, "Yes, Fletcher against Nakamura." I don't know why I'm feeling it. I think Ryan Nakamura is going to get his takedowns. Um, but I don't think he's going to do much with them. I don't think he's going to get dominant jiu-jitsu position. I don't think he's going to finish Nathan Fletcher by submission. I don't think he's going to get a TKO win. I can see this being a bit of an up and down against the cage fest. And I think Fletcher will outwork him in those moments. I think he will outwork him in those moments. Knees to the body, punches, little elbows to the side of the head as Rena's in on the takedown, elbows from off bottom position, submission attempts from off bottom, off bottom position. I think Nathan Fletcher is a more well-rounded martial artist. Whereas Ryan Nakamura, what he does is very good, you need damage or you're running a very very uh you're running a very very risky game plan every time you go out there. If your game plan is to control control, no damage, no TKO, no knockdowns, no wobble you on the feet, no submission, real uh real submission attempt. I'm messing up a lot of words today. Um, I feel like Ryan Nakamura is going to get outdamaged to a decision loss. That's my honest opinion here. So, I'm going to go Nathan Fletcher. I think there'll be a moment where he cuts open Rena with an elbow or something along those lines, but I'm going to go Nathan Fletcher getting this one done against Rena Nakamura by decision. 2928 decision. Rena's looking around like what? I controlled him. What? And Nathan Fletcher gets the victory. 29-28 Nathan Fletcher over Nakamura. big upset in my opinion. We move on. Danny Silva versus Kevin Vallejo. Well, well, well. We are going to destroy Danny Silva. And we are going to get a first round finish on the main card of a fight night. And we will be getting a ranked opponent next if we win. And we will be getting a performance bonus for our victory. Kevin Vallejo is going to do what Kevin Vallejo does. Danny Silva's good. Danny Silva is actually pretty technical. However, he's leaving it a bit too close with his UFC fights in my opinion where he's getting into a dog fight with someone and it's gritty and it's back and forth. Vallejo has that style of fight with Jean [ __ ] Silva when he's 21 years old. You know what I mean? When Vallejo is 21 years old, a kid in the game, still young in the game, by the way. Um, but when he's a baby in the game, he fights Gene Silva on the Contender Series. he gets into the type of fight that Danny Silva has against some low-level UFC featherweight that's at the bottom of the barrel. And Danny Silva has won those fights and he's gritty. I just don't see the talent in him that I see in Kevin Vallejo. With with Danny Silva, I see composure. I see durability. I see toughness. I see cardio. He's got he's got everything you can work for in my opinion. He's got everything you can work for and work up. His technique's not bad. His grappling defense ain't bad. He's not like he's got a glaring hole in any one part of his game. But Kevin Vallejo, it's talent, man. And there sometimes you can't you can't not notice the talent. I think Kevin Vallejo is going to put hands on Danny Silva. I like that he's shorter than him. I think that's a good thing for Kevin Vallejo here to rip the body of Danny Silva and then mix in shots over the top. Um, so I'm gonna go with Kevin Vallejo, of course, one of the big uh biggest prospects in the UFC right now. Um, and I reckon he's going to do very well here. He is a little bit small for the featherweight division that I do worry about for him. But he's coming off a first round KO, not against anyone that great to beat. I think it was like a not Doohoo Choy, but another Asian fighter, Dan Young something. Sting Sting. That guy, you know the guy. the guy who went to a [ __ ] double knockdown fest against Michael Trzano. I can name Michael Trzano. I can't name the [ __ ] guy that Kevin Vallejo put away in his last fight. Either way, um I'm going to go Kevin Vallejo. Better talent, hands nasty. His low kicks are pretty good as well. I don't see any grappling here. I think this is going to be a standup fight between Danny Silva and Kevin Vallejo. And Vallejo is way more talented in the boxing. I think he's got a better chin. The Danny Silva looks a bit crowded in moments when he fights. Whereas Vallejo looks like he catches you at the end of everything and he's got good spacing and distance management. Whereas Danny Silva in a lot of his fights, I see him hunched over in the pocket and he's taken a couple shots and he'll throw a couple of them back and then he takes a couple of shots and throws a couple of them back. Whereas Kevin Vallejo sits more slick defensive work. Don't get hit by the first lot and then tag you three or four times back. So maybe we could see a situation where Danny Silva survives Kevin Vallejo. And for that reason, people say Danny Silva did really well. Um, but I actually see a finish here. So, I'm gonna say first or second round TKO finish for Kevin Vallejo. Talent is the difference. And Kevin Vallejo has a lot of talent. Very, very obviously knows what he's doing. And uh, we are going to be victorious. We are going to be victorious in the UFC. We will get our performance bonus and we will be getting a ranked opponent next. Kevin Vallejo gets it done. TKO in the second round. I'll say we move on up the card. Neil Magny versus Allesio Zeleleski Doss Santos. I ain't picking Neil Magny to win any more fights anymore. I'm going with Allesio Zeleleski Doss Santos. I know he got kneed in the face by Chidino Jiuani, but that fight was a very technical back and forth fight before that. And I even called that Chino Juani should go for the knee up the middle right now and then he boom did it. That was one of the fight moments where I called it as it was about to happen. So you could kind of see unless you about to get caught with that near. Um I can't pick Neil Magny to win. I feel like Neil Magny is just a I know Jake Matthews just beat Chidino Jacquani very easily which isn't a good look for uh Allesio Alleski dos Santos here but I feel like uh Chidy is just like a prime Neil Magny without the grappling offense and I don't see Neil Magny having any level of grappling success against Allesioleski dos Santos. Neil Magnney is a veteran of the game. Very, very good for the years that he's been in the UFC. I think he's got the most wins in UFC welterweight history. I mean, crazy stats on Neil Magny. He's got a lot of wins. He's had a lot of fraud checks, but the only real good performance he's had recently, I guess you could say, would be against Mike Mallet where he got dominated the whole fight and then won in the last moments of the third round when Mallet failed a [ __ ] grappling exchange and ended up on bottom. I mean, what are we doing? I I just feel like Magny has just not been the same, but he's so tall that sometimes he can be annoying to deal with for like I'm an upand cominging prospects. Even though Michael Morales finished him and Protes flatlined him. I mean, I'm just going through back in my head right now the last fights of Neil Magny and there's just too much destruction against him. I can see him sinking to the canvas against Protest and getting finished by TKO. Oh no, by Flatline KO. I can see him sinking to the canvas against Morales and getting finished by TKO. Mallet's dominating him and schooling him on the feet at range. And then you go before that and there's just another Ian Garry's chewing up his legs for three straight rounds. He beat Daniel Rodriguez. Neil Magny beat Daniel [ __ ] Rodriguez, which is a [ __ ] embarrassment. But D-Rod threw away that fight by letting Magny up from bottom position at the end of the third, which then led to him losing the third round because of it. So Drod's [ __ ] in that fight. If you look back at that fight, that was a very dumb decision that he made. Um, but yeah, I reckon Allesie Alleski Doss Santos, he's a veteran. He's seen a lot of styles before. He's seen taller opponents before. He's basically had this training camp against a more athletic in prime version of Neil Magnet in Chidino Juan, which he did quite well against, by the way. But as Alleski, you know, he almost fraud checked Renat for Cretinov. Hurt him really badly to the body. didn't really follow up the way that he needed to because once MMA fighters hurt someone to the body, they throw nothing but head punches afterwards. Um, even when the guy goes down on the ground, they'll just throw head shots over and over. Even though the guy's not hurt to the head, just kick him once to the body. Have you not learned anything from Khil Roundree, please? Um, but I'm going to go Leleski. He's a veteran. He's not going to be shocked by the height of Magny and be like, "Oh, this is weird. I've never experienced this before." I think he'll play a very technical striking game, a lot of low kicks. Um, and I think he'll beat Neil Magny with those low kicks. He's good. He's got great kicks. Alles, use Allesi Doss Anttonos. I think he'll use them at range here. Um, and do like a better Mike Mallet performance without the need for the offensive grappling. So, which is eventually what got Mallet in trouble. So, I'm going to go Alleski Alleski Dos Santos getting this one done by decision or maybe a second or third round. TKO finished a ground and pound after Magny's leg is absolutely cooked. ZDS gets it done. TKO second or third round. We move on. Carol Rosa versus Norah Canol Tattoos Aoy for these two. Um, yeah. I don't know with this one. I want to say Carol Rosa. I really weirdly want to pick Carol Rosa to win this fight. Should I do it? Nora Canol lost to Jacqueline Cavalcia. Carol Rose has beaten Jana Kunitskaya who's he now Jana Santos who I mean I don't know how much to rate a [ __ ] win over Misha Tay I I don't or a Tate win over I I don't know what to it's women's MMA is it like I really don't know Nora Canol's good but she's not clearing the [ __ ] she's not setting herself way ahead of the pack. I know Carol Rosa just lost to Ailen Perezh what do I do here? I want to I almost feel like this is going to be a Crafty Vet Carol Rosa performance where you're like oh yeah she went to a close decision with Norma Jamont or oh yeah she went to a close decision with this other top Irene Alana they went to war against each other and I I know that Norah Cano's the upandcomer but I'm going to probably go with Carol Rosa here. I'm going with Carol Rosa by decision. I can see a crafty vet performance and Norah Canelo in my opinion has not Natalyia Silva vastly separated herself from the pack. I know this is women's flyweight, not bantamweight, but the the rules can still apply for a prospect in women's MMA. Natalyia Silva separated herself from the pack so far, you could trust her to beat the top contenders. And even then, it got very close against the top contenders, extremely close against the top contenders compared to when she was fighting regional or like lower level ranking fighters at flyweight or unranked fight uh women's flyweights, anything along those lines. Um, and Natalyia Silva had such a giant gap between her and the comp. Norah Canal, I don't know how much I [ __ ] value a win over Haley Cohen. She's not Carol Rosa, who's a legitimate women's bantamweight perennial top contender is, you know, it's tricky one. It's a very tricky one to predict because it's going to be one of those ones where you're like, you picked Carol Rosa, but yeah, Norah Canó's not really separated herself, man. Very, very close fight. lost to Jacqueline Cavalcante, who I don't think is like that far. I don't think is a top contender herself. Like, oh, that's going to be a battle where they both see each other at the title someday. I don't think they see each other in a rematch for the title. I think they're both pretty medium level prospects. And I'm going to go with Carol Rosa getting this one done. Experience. Um, she's still in her prime. She's not like over the hill as a women's fighter. She's had some iffy performances recently. I understand. But I feel like this might be a little bit of a jump up too soon for Nora Canol. So, I'm going to go with Carol Rosa getting this one done. Close decision victory over Norah Canol. 29-28 split decision. People are confused. People might be angry. Who knows? But I'm going to go over Crafty Vet women's performance from Carol Rosa here. Likely as an underdog against Nora Canol. We move on. Elves Brener versus Esbam Rivic. I see the 5% Indian in him. We're going with Esteban Riich. No, I'm joking. Um, he does look like this is one of these Indian variant Brazilians. But Elves Brener was at one point a [ __ ] savage, okay, on the come up. He was a nasty guy. Remember when Garamzi was considered like the benchmark with for whether or not you were going to become a champion or not in the division? Anyone remember those times when Elves Brener beats Garam Ka Toledi and people are like he's the best unranked guy in the whole [ __ ] division and then uh what's it Jordan Vuik loses close to Garam Cleti on short notice and people are like dude but he'll be a top contender one these guys are going to see each other in the top 10's just not that level is what we find out so that has diminished a little bit in terms of the quality of win for Alves Brener he also had another win over another opponent Ku Kuski or something like that. Kratuski. Um got a first round KO. Caught him right behind the ear with a with a massive overhand left I believe. Um it was actually a missed punch, but it caught him right on the back of the head as he like moved out the way of it. So I guess it landed and it flatline KO'ed Kuski. Um but since then Elvis Brener got dominated by MC Bear Oral or beaten very convincingly with some moments of success, but got beaten very convincingly by Mate Beckoral. Not too embarrassing, but then absolutely picked apart and beaten the [ __ ] out of by Joel Alvarez. Esteb Rivovic though. So that is I do apply that to Alves Brener. He's off of two bad losses, especially the last one where he got [ __ ] up pretty badly. Okay. Um so I do worry for him because of that, especially against Esban Rivic who's a dangerous fast starter going to throw the kitchen sink at you. has first round finishing ability is going to cause damage to you. So if you're not up to it to take some damage, you ain't going to beat Esban Rivic. You're gonna have to tough down and grit through an Estabban Rivic fight to beat him. That being said about Rivic split decision to Daniel [ __ ] Zel Huba needs to pull it out the bag in the third round after getting dropped and doesn't finish him there. That's a bad look. Zel Huba is very basic. Zel Huba is very simple. I don't know who would win. I think Brener would beat Zel Huba. You know, maybe it'd be a close decision. Who knows? Um, but Esban Rivovic beat Daniel Zel Huba, but then the Nazar Hakra fight. I know people call robbery. It was a close fight. It could have gone either way. Hate to break it to some people. That could have gone either way that fight. Even though Rivic threw a lot more punches and a lot more strikes, uh, Nazarras was landing very good shots in that fight, too. And landed probably the better shots throughout the fight. So very very close last two fights. Ribovic won the Zel Huba fight of course. Um and then of course I thought he could have lost a Naz fight even though a lot of people called it a robbery. I just like the output from Rivovic here. High output, high volume, throwing everything. Brener coming off of two losses in a row. He really needs this one. He's also coming off a TKO loss in his last fight that was really bad where he got damaged a lot. Um so I think Esban Rivovic is going to get right in his face and get a throw in here. Maybe Brener could catch him early, but you've got to imagine the longer this fight goes on, the more it favors Esban Rivovic. Although we've seen Brena tired and push through, we ain't seen Rivic tired. So you could say, "Ah, Brena's got really good cardio. We've seen him tired and we've seen him push through and break Garam Cutzi Cutledi in the third round." Riovic doesn't show fatigue in his fights. third round against Daniel Zel Huba slowed down after he threw a 100 punch combination against him in the third round, but he had a 100 punches to throw in the third round. He had output records to throw against Nazra Hackar within 15 minutes. There's just too much output to say Brena wins past round one. And I don't see a first round victory for Elves Brener. So, I'm going to go Vest Ban Rivic getting this one done. I just realized there's two Argentinians on the card. So, I guess this is going to have a good amount of Argentine fans watching the event with Vallejo and Rivovic on the same card, but I'm going to go with Esban Rivovic getting this one done by second or third round TKO victory. Maybe could be a 29-28 decision based on the last two rounds. I just think he's too good at striking and have too much volume for Alves Brener. We move on. Matteos Rebecki versus Chris Duncan or should I say Matal Rambetski as they pronounce it versus Chris Duncan. Now, I like Chris Duncan. I'm I root for the Scots. I got a bit of Scottish DNA in me. You know what I mean? I'm I like to root for the Scots. I I I think Chris Duncan's a cool dude. Okay. I think he's a cool dude. He's messaged me before. Was it heated and then we sorted things out and we and we became a little bit chums? Who knows? But um I don't know how he's here. I don't know. I don't know, man. I just I look at Chris Duncan and I see I see talent in every one of his opponents and not him, you know, when he's fighting on the Contender Series against uh Campbell. I'm seeing the talent in Campbell and then Duncan wins and gets the win against him and then I I see something else and I see the talented opponent and a man the opponent looks really good. Ah, Duncan's guillotine them got a ton of talent. Crazy amount of talent, dude. What a fighter. Oh, wow. Oh, he's looking fast and sharp in this first round against Chris Duncan. Man, he looks talented. Ah, Duncan's beatating him. Jordan Vuchenk, really talented up and coming prospect in my eyes at the time. Really talented up and coming prospect. Let's see how Duncan deals with this one, dude. Oh, Duncan's dominating him. Oh no, here's Venick in the second round. There's that talent we were talking about. He's Duncan's guillotined him. Duncan's [ __ ] weird. I don't see him beating Rebecki though. But I just wanted to get that out there that Duncan [ __ ] confuses me because I don't I I did not think he would he would be the one. You know what I'm saying? That going to take on Rebecki and if he wins this one, maybe get a ranked opponent. Um, so I don't know. It's a It's a weird thing with Duncan. I would say Rebecki wins, but then what if I say Rebecki wins and he goes out there, beats the [ __ ] out of Duncan for two rounds, gets guillotined in the second round. This is the worry. And Duncan's training with a great gym at tier, you know, he's not I know he's a Scott, but he's not restricted to a small niche gym in Everest and we do a lot of training up here. He's not in that I got a gym down in Dundee, man. It's none of that. He's at 80 tier. He's with good fighters. Rebecki is great as well though. I think Rebecki beats him. I think Rebecki beats him. I think Rebecki has shown us. I mean, he beat Mate Beck Coral BL. He beat Mate Beck Coral BL and that fight arguably could have been stopped for him in round three, but he put his all into the finish in round three and it still didn't come out good for him. Carlos Diego Fea beat Matteosbecki, but you guys know how I feel about Carlos Diego Fea. This guy's a [ __ ] marauder. Okay, people forget, man. Carlos Diego Fea he's a [ __ ] split decision with Benil Darush by the way needs to be mentioned split decision with Benil Darush it was looking risky against Gamrock before Gamrock need him in the smaller rib and broke his tiny little floating rib he was looking good against Gamrock Rebecki dropped him in the first round ended up gassing out getting beaten up in the later rounds um but I'm going to go Rebecki this time against Ora looked like he controlled his cardio a lot better um he's had some time to improve. He's got a great record. He's got a lot of experience now. It's now or never. He's a little shorter, tankier opponent. I don't see him getting guillotined for that reason, for some bizarre [ __ ] reason. Um I just think he's too tanky and stocky and his shoulders are so high up. Whenever I see a long necked opponent, I'm like, "This dude's getting guillotined at some point in his career." I don't see that with Rebecca. And I reckon he'll be able to uh out technically box Duncan with speed on the outside with his footwork. I'm going to go over a Becky getting this one done. I'm going to say TKO in the first round. Duncan, do it again. I dare you. I dare Chris Duncan to do this again and pull off the victory again. I don't understand him as a fighter. I don't see it. I don't see the the the things I see in other lightweight fighters that are outside the rankings, but he keeps winning and winning is the way forward. And we've seen that recently in MMA that winners win. Okay, it doesn't matter how bad they look or how sloppy they look in moments or if he had a bad round here or there or if he got dropped in the fight. Winners win in MMA. But Rebeck is a winner as well. So, I'm going to go with Matteas Rebecki getting this one done against Chris Duncan. I'm going to say first or second round TKO, but I want I want Duncan to to prove me wrong and get an upset win. He won't. I'm going with Rebecki getting this one done. We move on. Oh, the big main event, folks. It's Tatsu Roter versus Hyanung Park. The one you've all been waiting for, guys. Now, you may notice no difference from this fight compared to the early prelim opener, but that's just MMA. That's just the UFC in 2025, folks. You're a casual fan if you don't if you aren't hyped up for this main event. Should be a Tatsu Roter a pretty easy victory. Um, Hyansung Park, they actually have a common opponent in Carlos Hernandez and Hyans Park dominated him and Tatsu Roter also beat him very convincingly if I'm not mistaken. Um, Hyansong Park taking this fight on short notice. This was supposed to be Amir Albazi who I also would have chosen Tatsu Rotera to defeat. Um, I'm also going to choose Tatsu Rotera to defeat Hyans Park. Hyans Park was supposed to be fighting another fighter in the flyweight division in a couple of weeks. So, this is an off the couch Yanung Park. He's been in training camp. He just maybe wasn't dialed in for his weight cut yet. Um, but he had a fight coming up after this and it wasn't a grappler. And I'm trying to remember in my head who that opponent was that he was matched up against, but it was a striker in the flyweight division. Um, and I can't remember who it was, but it was a striker, which is very important here because Tatsurro Terra's been training for Amir Albazi, a well-rounded, decent at striking, decent at grappling opponent, and Terra is looking to enforce his game plan, which is to get the back all the time. Tay is looking to get the back. Jansong Park's not been strain, not been training specifics. He's not been training specifics to deal with Tay's game. I think Tay is a guy you need a full training camp for. You need a full training camp for it because Brandon Roy Val is a top level flyaway and we know that. We know how Tara hangs at the top level. I know he lost but it was a very close fight and he had moments and he had dominant rounds and uh he had the back of Brandon Roy Vow in moments as well and he got to his dominant position against a fighter in my opinion at flyweight that is just five times more proven at flyweight than Hyans Park. Hyans Park is talented. He comes in, he gets a finish in his debut, he gets a finish in his second fight. He's a finisher. Very fast starter. I don't think Taylor is going to get caught out here. He's he's he's just come off a loss and I think that's the best position for him to be in here because if he was just on the come up and then Hyans Park got chucked in, maybe he'd still think too much of himself. But I like that Terra just got humbled and he got humbled in a fight that he did well in, that was a close fight that he had moments in, that he grappled well with Roy Val in. Roy Val is a hell of a grappler. Roy Val is a hell of a grappler. He can scramble very well and make you work for a whole bunch of nothing. And that did happen at moments in the Tra, but in other moments, Tara held his back for a whole round and had dominant position and and did well. So, I'm going to go with Tatsu Rot being able to enforce his game plan on Hyans Park. wouldn't be wouldn't be uh shocked if Jansen Park somehow gets an upset, but I'm going to say that Tatu Rotera gets this one done by second round submission victory. Reaked choke is what I'm going to go for here. I just think Hyans Park needed a specific training camp for Tara and what he deals with and what he does. Um whereas Tay doesn't need a specific training camp for Hyansong Park because Tay is going to do what he's going to do. You have to react to what Tara wants from you and deal with it that way. Unless you're maybe you're Alejandra Panto and you can just [ __ ] bullheadedly get what you want regardless. Um, but if you're Hansung Park, you've got to have a training camp prepared for what Terra is going to do to you. And I don't think he's got that. I don't think he's got that. So, I'm going to go with Tatsuro Terra submission in the second round over Hansung Park. Shitty main event. Um, no matter what an Asian guy wins, I guess that's good for the UFC and trying to get into that market. But, uh, yeah, Japan versus South Korea. I've got Japan. Open a history book. I'm joking. Let me not get too crazy. But, I'm going with a Tatsu Roter. Submission. Second round. Goodbye.
