Strickland vs. Costa
Sean Strickland, DEC
Sean over 2 1/2 for sure. I see him putting on otherworldly pressure on Costa that he's never dealt with before. That reach is just gonna make that jab more of a piston for him more than it already is.

Kopylov vs. Almeida
Roman Kopylov, DEC
There's levels to this. Could Almeida pull this off? Sure, yea. But 1 loss to Hernandez doesn't mean Kopylov is washed. DEC or TKO finish in RD 2 or even poss 3 for Roman.

Almeida vs. Romanov
Jailton Almeida, TKO, R2
I see a RD 2 finish for Almeida after stuffing a lot of takedowns

Brown vs. Zaleski
Randy Brown, DEC
Zaleski has some mad underrated wins tbh & depending on the lines, might throw down some money on the underdog. But Brown has been on a roll lately & def has age, height & reach on his side here.

Edwards vs. Perez II
Ailin Perez, DEC
Hate her but sure.

Gall vs. Hafez
Bassil Hafez, DEC
Hafez took JDM to a tough DEC win (even though JDM threw Fight IQ out of the window). Hefez's wrestling could get him in a pinch but I believe he'll be able to survive & rack up control time.

Dawson vs. Solecki
Grant Dawson, SUB, R2
Solecki sucks lmao. Dawson by finish in RD 2. Likely over 1 1/2.

Rowe vs. Matthews
Phil Rowe, DEC
I feel like Rowe's height & reach is gonna be a problem for Matthews to deal with.

Price vs. Morono
Alex Morono, DEC
Would love a Niko Price comeback. This just seems clear to me. Morono is consistently good

One of the best picks to make tbh. Def sprinkling something on Poirier by KO tho.

No champion has ever retained their title on a card Paulo Costa has fought on. It's happened 5 different times now. Take that for whatever it's worth.
