Key Matchups and Predictions
Brendan Loughnane vs. Pedro Carvalho: Shan is particularly excited about this fresh matchup. As fighters trained out of Ireland and Manchester respectively, both have had careers covered extensively by Shan, adding a personal touch to his commentary. He predicts an intense fight and hints at a slight leaning towards Loughnane due to his impressive run in the PFL.
Andre Koreshkov vs. Magomed Umalatov: This bout features a clash of seasoned experience, against formidable emerging talent.

The betting odds weren’t released at the time of recording, but Shan is keen to see how they shape up, tentatively favoring Koreshkov.
Logan Storley vs. Shamil Musaev: Storley, known for his wrestling prowess, faces a well-rounded opponent in Shamil. Shan appreciates Storley’s skills but highlights that his performances sometimes don’t live up to critical moments. He cautiously picks Storley for the win, citing his potential to rise to the occasion.
Braga vs. Gonzalez: In what Shan anticipates will be a standout fight, he notes both fighters’ capability to handle tough matchups and their prowess in stand-up combat. He gives Braga the edge, believing his experience in the PFL’s format might provide him with the upper hand.
Neiman Gracie vs. Goiti Yamauchi: This fight pits Gracie’s grappling against Yamauchi’s comprehensive ground game and striking.
