Sedriques Dumas vs. Denis Tiuliulin (2:56)

Teller believes Dumas will bounce back from his previous defeat, citing his youth, athleticism, and technical superiority over Tiuliulin. With a reach and length advantage, Dumas is expected to secure a win, potentially by knockout.

Betting Odds: Dumas -220

Prediction: Dumas by KO

Jai Herbert vs. Rolando Bedoya (9:04)

Teller leans towards Jai Herbert, who, despite being older, has shown resilience and technical prowess in his previous fights. Bedoya’s move to lightweight is noted, but Herbert’s experience gives him the edge.

Betting Odds: Herbert -160

Prediction: Herbert by Decision

Victoria Dudakova vs. Sam Hughes (13:25)

Victoria Dudakova is favored to win, with Teller noting her youth and potential. Despite some grappling concerns, her striking and overall game seem superior to Hughes, making her the likely victor.

Betting Odds: Dudakova -175

Prediction: Dudakova by Decision

Guram Kutateladze vs. Jordan Vucenic (18:20)

Guram Kutateladze’s wrestling and pressure are highlighted as key factors. Despite Vucenic’s grappling background, Teller predicts Kutateladze will control the fight and secure a decision win.

Betting Odds: Kutateladze -200

Prediction: Kutateladze by Decision

Shamil Gaziev vs. Don’Tale Mayes (23:50)

Teller favors Gaziev, citing his finishing ability and experience. Despite conditioning concerns, Gaziev’s power and skill set should be enough to secure a victory against the tough but inconsistent Mayes.

Betting Odds: Gaziev -260

Prediction: Gaziev by Decision

Mohammad Yahya vs. Kauê Fernandes (29:17)

Kauê Fernandes is expected to secure his first UFC victory against Mohammad Yahya. Teller notes Yahya’s lack of impressive performances and sees Fernandes as the more promising fighter.

Betting Odds: Fernandes -410

Prediction: Fernandes by KO

Alonzo Menifield vs. Azamat Murzakanov (34:19)

Despite a recent knockout loss, Teller sees potential in Menifield. However, Murzakanov’s striking and wrestling abilities make him the favorite. Menifield’s vulnerability to big shots could lead to a Murzakanov knockout.

Betting Odds: Murzakanov -223

Prediction: Murzakanov by KO

Joel Alvarez vs. Elves Brener (39:15)

Joel Alvarez is favored for his submission skills and striking range. Teller expects Alvarez to outpoint Brener, though he acknowledges Brener’s toughness and potential to surprise.

Betting Odds: Alvarez -185

Prediction: Alvarez by Decision

Mackenzie Dern vs. Lupita Godinez (45:22)

Lupita Godinez is picked to win, thanks to her striking and wrestling. Teller advises Godinez to avoid grappling exchanges with Dern, whose BJJ is elite. Godinez’s footwork and boxing should secure her a decision victory.

Betting Odds: Godinez +105

Prediction: Godinez by Decision

Tony Ferguson vs. Michael Chiesa (50:43)

Teller reluctantly picks Michael Chiesa, noting Ferguson’s decline and Chiesa’s grappling prowess. Despite Ferguson’s durability, Chiesa’s control and submission threats make him the safer bet.

Betting Odds: Chiesa -610

Prediction: Chiesa by Decision

Marlon Vera vs. Deiveson Figueiredo (55:50)

Deiveson Figueiredo is favored for his speed, wrestling, and striking. Teller sees Figgy outpointing Vera and potentially using grappling to control the fight, securing a decision victory.

Betting Odds: Figueiredo -160

Prediction: Figueiredo by Decision

Shara Magomedov vs. Michał Oleksiejczuk (1:01:56)

Betting Odds: Magomedov -225

Prediction: Magomedov by KO

Cory Sandhagen vs. Umar Nurmagomedov (1:06:29)

In the main event, Umar Nurmagomedov is favored for his well-rounded skill set and grappling. Teller predicts a tough fight, but Nurmagomedov’s relentless pressure and control will lead to a decision victory.
