Montel Jackson ML Montel Jackson takes on Raoni Barcelos. Montel Jackson relies on athleticism, reach, and composure to control fights. His striking is clean and efficient, often built around maintaining distance. Mid-fight adjustments from Raoni Barcelos could involve mixing in grappling and pressure. Defensively, Jackson does a solid job avoiding unnecessary exchanges. His takedown defense has improved, making him harder to control.

If he dictates range, he should accumulate damage without taking much in return, likely leading to a decision win. PICK- Jackson ML -185

Marcus Buchecha ML Marcus Buchecha takes on Ryan Spann. Marcus Almeida is a world-class grappler whose transition to MMA continues to evolve impressively. His size and strength give him immediate physical advantages in clinch situations. Early danger comes from Ryan Spann, who brings real knockout power and explosiveness. Once the fight hits the ground, Almeida’s submission arsenal becomes a serious problem. He’s shown increasing comfort with striking, particularly as a way to set up takedowns. Opponents often struggle to keep him off them for extended periods. Even if he absorbs some shots early, his composure remains steady. This feels like a fight where his grappling should ultimately take over. PICK- Buchecha ML -125

Polastri’s volume and activity often sway judges, even in closely contested rounds. Defensively, she has shown improvements in avoiding big damage. If she can maintain range and tempo, she should control the striking exchanges. Grappling could be a swing factor, but Polastri has proven capable of scrambling back to her feet.

Rodolfo Viera ML Rodolfo Vieira takes on Eric McConico. Rodolfo Viera enters this matchup with one of the most dangerous submission games in the division. His ability to close distance and initiate grappling exchanges should be the defining factor early. As the fight progresses, Eric McConico will likely try to keep things standing and test Viera’s striking. Once Viera gets top control, he wastes very little time advancing position. Even if there’s early resistance, his persistence tends to break opponents over time. On the feet, he’s still developing, but he doesn’t need prolonged striking success to win. Expect him to force the fight to the mat within the first round. From there, a submission finish or dominant decision feels like the most likely outcome. PICK- Viera ML -198

Gokhan over 1.5 rounds Tanner Boser takes on Gokhan Saricam. Gokhan is likely to approach this fight with patience, making an early stoppage less likely. Both fighters should have enough durability to push this beyond 1.5 rounds. Early exchanges may be more about feeling out timing rather than taking big risks. That cautious start supports the expectation of a longer fight. His opponent should also contribute to that dynamic with a measured approach. If both fighters stay technical early, it strongly favors the over. PICK- Over 1.5 -220

Mallot over 1.5 rounds Mike Mallot takes on Gilbert Burns. Mallot’s style tends to be measured, and he doesn’t always rush for early finishes. This points toward a fight that extends past the midway mark. He often takes time to read opponents and set up his offense. That slower buildup increases the likelihood that both fighters make it into the second half of the fight. His opponent is likely durable enough to survive early exchanges as well. Unless someone lands something clean very early, this should develop at a more patient pace. PICK- Over 1.5 -200

Horth ML JJ Aldrich takes on Jamey-Lyn Horth. Horth stands out with consistency and composure, which often translates well in close fights. Expect a steady performance that edges rounds rather than chasing a risky finish. She tends to stick to a disciplined game plan and avoid unnecessary exchanges. That approach can frustrate opponents and make it easier to accumulate points over time. Her opponent, though, could bring higher output or aggression that catches the judges’ attention. If Horth allows herself to be outworked, it may become a difficult fight to score. PICK- Horth ML -150

Nascimento ML Mitch Raposo takes on Allan Nascimento. Nascimento’s grappling and control could be the deciding factor. If he gets the fight to the ground, he should be able to neutralize his opponent and rack up control time. His positional awareness allows him to stay dominant once he secures top position. Over three rounds, that kind of control can clearly sway the scorecards even without a finish. However, his opponent may have solid takedown defense or scrambling ability. If Nascimento struggles to secure or hold positions, it could turn into a much closer striking battle. PICK- Nascimento ML -180

Croden ML Melissa Croden takes on Darya Zheleznyakova. Croden brings finishing upside and aggression, which could be key here. If he capitalizes on openings early, he has a strong chance to end it before the judges are needed. Even if it goes longer, his forward pressure can influence how judges view control of the fight. The main factor will be whether he can maintain that intensity without slowing down late. His opponent, though, may be more patient and look to exploit that aggression. If Croden fades or gets countered clean, the fight could swing the other way. PICK- Croden ML -130

Valentin ML Robert Valentin takes on Julien Leblanc. Valentin’s advantage likely comes from cleaner technique and better fight IQ. If he stays disciplined, he should be able to outpoint his opponent over the course of the fight. He does a good job of managing distance and minimizing mistakes. In a matchup that could come down to small margins, his efficiency and shot selection should help him secure rounds consistently. Still, his opponent may bring pressure and physicality that could disrupt that rhythm. If Valentin gets dragged into a brawl, it could make things much tighter. PICK- Valentin ML -160

Nallo ML Mandel Nallo takes on Jai Herbert. Nallo appears to have the more dangerous tools, particularly if he can control the range early. If he imposes his preferred tempo, he should be able to dictate the fight. His offensive bursts can create openings that lead to big moments or even a finish. The key will be maintaining composure and not overextending, which would allow him to stay ahead on both damage and control. On the other side, his opponent may look to capitalize on any aggression by countering or forcing mistakes. If Nallo gets reckless, that could open the door for a momentum swing. PICK- Nallo ML -175

Casteneda ML John Castaneda takes on Mark Vologdin. Casteneda’s durability and well-rounded skill set give him an edge in a competitive matchup. He can mix striking with grappling and typically makes good mid-fight adjustments. That adaptability is key in fights that swing back and forth. If he can weather early moments and start implementing his game plan, he should take over down the stretch and edge the scorecards. His opponent, however, may have the sharper start and could bank early rounds. If Casteneda falls behind early, he’ll need to rely heavily on those adjustments to recover. PICK- Casteneda ML -125

Jourdain ML Kyler Phillips takes on Charles Jourdain. Jourdain’s pressure and striking volume should be the difference here, especially if he keeps the fight standing. He tends to overwhelm opponents who can’t match his pace, and that style often wins rounds clearly. His ability to mix in body work and keep a high output over all three rounds makes him difficult to deal with. As long as he avoids getting stuck in extended grappling exchanges, he should be in control for most of the fight. That said, his opponent could find success if they slow things down and force clinch or grappling situations. If Jourdain gets controlled for long stretches, it could make the fight closer than expected. PICK- Jourdain ML -135
