UFC Vegas 90 is set to deliver an exciting lineup of fights, with the main event featuring a highly anticipated rematch between Brendan Allen and Chris Curtis. Here’s a breakdown of the predictions for each fight on the card:
Melissa Mullins vs. Nora Cornolle
- Prediction: Melissa Mullins. AJ believes Mullins is the better grappler and will benefit from the small cage at the UFC Apex, predicting a unanimous decision victory for her.
Dylan Budka vs. Caesar Almeida
- Prediction: Dylan Budka. Despite Almeida’s kickboxing experience, Budka’s pressure and potential for takedowns are expected to give him the edge in a competitive fight.
Jean Matsumoto vs. Dan Argueta
- Prediction: Jean Matsumoto. Matsumoto’s balanced skill set in submissions and knockouts, along with his quality kickboxing and grappling, make him the pick against Argueta.
Cynthia Calvillo vs. Piera Rodriguez
- Prediction: Cynthia Calvillo. Initially leaning towards Rodriguez, AJ changes their mind, citing Calvillo’s better wrestling and experience as the reasons for her potential upset victory.
Alatangheili vs. Victor Hugo
- Prediction: Heili. Heili’s wrestling base and striking are expected to challenge Hugo’s jiujitsu, making Haley a live underdog in this matchup.
Norma Dumont vs. Germaine de Randamie
- Prediction: Germaine de Randamie. Despite the long layoff, de Randamie’s striking and potential for submissions are believed to be enough to secure a win over Dumont.
Court McGee vs. Alex Morono
- Prediction: Alex Morono. Morono’s striking and movement are seen as too much for McGee, with a knockout victory for Morono being a strong possibility.
Trevor Peak vs. Charlie Campbell
- Prediction: Charlie Campbell. Campbell’s technical striking is expected to overcome Peak’s chaotic style, with a knockout win for Campbell predicted.
Lucas Brzeski vs. Valder Walker
- Prediction: Valder Walker. Walker’s physicality and takedown ability are anticipated to lead to a TKO victory over Brzeski.
Ignacio Bahamondes vs. Christos Giagos
- Prediction: Ignacio Bahamondes. Bahamondes’ striking and potential for a knockout or submission victory make him the clear favorite against Giagos.
Morgan Charriere vs. Chepe Mariscal
- Prediction: Chepe Mariscal. Mariscal’s experience and pressure wrestling are expected to secure him a gritty decision win over Charriere.
Alexander Hernandez vs. Damon Jackson
- Prediction: Alexander Hernandez. Hernandez’s speed and striking are predicted to either win by decision or potentially knock out Jackson.
