Early Prelims
Shayilan Nuerdanbieke vs. Melquizael Costa
Guru’s Thoughts: Guru picks Melquizael Costa for his superior striking and kick-heavy style. He believes Costa’s dynamic striking will overwhelm Nuerdanbieke, who might struggle to implement his ground game.
Pick: Melquizael Costa
Julia Polastri vs. Josefine Knutsson
Guru’s Thoughts: Guru is confident in Josefine Knutsson’s striking and takedown defense. He predicts Knutsson will outstrike Polastri, who needs to gain respect on the feet before attempting takedowns.
Pick: Josefine Knutsson
Jeka Saragih vs. Westin Wilson
Guru’s Thoughts: Guru expects Jeka Saragih to knock out Westin Wilson early. Saragih’s explosive power and ability to find KO shots should be too much for Wilson, who lacks the striking defense to survive.
Pick: Jeka Saragih
Carli Judice vs. Gabriella Fernandes
Guru’s Thoughts: In a tricky matchup, Guru leans towards Carli Judice due to her performance on the Contender Series and her potential for growth. He feels Fernandes’ grappling might not be enough to secure a win.
Pick: Carli Judice
Garrett Armfield vs. Brady Hiestand
Guru’s Thoughts: Guru believes Garrett Armfield’s boxing and composure will be the difference. While Hiestand might secure early takedowns, Armfield’s ability to get back up and dominate the striking exchanges will lead to a second-round TKO.
Pick: Garrett Armfield
Main Card
Nate Maness vs. Jimmy Flick
Guru’s Thoughts: Guru picks Nate Maness for his wrestling background and stand-up advantage. Despite Jimmy Flick’s knack for unexpected submissions, Maness’ commitment and overall skills should see him through to a win.
Pick: Nate Maness
Tagir Ulanbekov vs. Joshua Van
Guru’s Thoughts: Guru picks Tagir Ulanbekov for his relentless takedown ability and superior grappling. He feels Joshua Van’s need to build up damage won’t be effective against Ulanbekov’s constant pressure.
Pick: Tagir Ulanbekov
Adam Fugitt vs. Josh Quinlan
Guru’s Thoughts: Guru favors Josh Quinlan for his athleticism and striking power. Despite Fugitt’s wrestling, Quinlan’s ability to stuff takedowns and land powerful strikes will lead to a TKO win.
Pick: Josh Quinlan
Asu Almabaev vs. Jose Johnson
Guru’s Thoughts: Guru picks Asu Almabaev for his grappling dominance. He believes Almabaev will control Johnson on the ground and secure a victory despite Johnson’s size advantage.
Pick: Asu Almabaev
Miles Johns vs. Douglas Silva de Andrade
Guru’s Thoughts: Guru leans towards Douglas Silva de Andrade for his experience and durability. He doubts Johns’ ability to KO Andrade and feels Andrade’s well-rounded skills will lead to a win.
Pick: Douglas Silva de Andrade
Lucas Almeida vs. Timmy Cuamba
Guru’s Thoughts: Guru picks Timmy Cuamba for his composure and finishing ability. Despite Almeida’s power, Cuamba’s striking intelligence and experience against tough opponents will give him the edge.
Pick: Timmy Cuamba
Ikram Aliskerov vs. Antonio Trocoli
Guru’s Thoughts: Guru is confident in Ikram Aliskerov’s skills and predicts a first or second-round finish. He believes Trocoli’s lack of finishing potential will be his downfall against Aliskerov’s aggressive style.
Pick: Ikram Aliskerov
Alex Perez vs. Tatsuro Taira
