Fight Predictions and Thoughts
Maheshate vs. Gabriel Benitez
- Maheshate, a dynamic striker, faces the more traditional Gabriel Benitez. Kyle predicts Maheshate’s victory, citing his creative striking and potential for growth despite recent losses. Odds favor Maheshate at -140, with Benitez at +275.
Ivana Petrovic vs. Na Liang
- Na Liang’s UFC stint has been disappointing, and Kyle isn’t optimistic about her facing Ivana Petrovic, who he sees as a more capable fighter. Betting odds heavily favor Petrovic as Liang is seen as a +400 underdog.
James Llontop vs. Gabe Green
- This matchup features two well-rounded fighters. Kyle leans towards Gabe Green due to his experience, despite Llontop’s potential shown outside the UFC. The fight is expected to be closely contested.
Ketlen Souza vs. Marnic Mann
- Souza, aggressive and versatile, is predicted to dominate the less impressive Mann. Kyle expresses strong confidence in Souza’s abilities and sees this as a mismatch, with Mann as a significant underdog at +340.
Don’Tale Mayes vs. Caio Machado
- In this heavyweight clash, Kyle is less impressed with Mayes and slightly favors Machado due to his better technique, though he acknowledges the unpredictability of heavyweight fights.
Austin Hubbard vs. Michal Figlak
- Both fighters prefer striking, but Kyle is intrigued by Figlak’s aggressive style. Despite Hubbard’s recent decent performance, Kyle tentatively picks Figlak to win, citing his potential to be more active in the fight.
Rani Yahya vs. Victor Henry
- Yahya’s age and declining performance lead Kyle to predict a victory for Victor Henry, who has been more impressive in recent outings. Henry is a significant favorite in this matchup.
Tim Means vs. Uros Medic
- Means showed unexpected vigor in his last fight, but Medic’s strong striking is expected to dominate. Kyle hopes for a Means victory but believes Medic will prevail, reflected in his -200 to -300 odds.
Jonathan Pearce vs. David Onama
- This fight excites Kyle the most, highlighting both fighters’ strengths. It’s a tough call, but Kyle slightly leans towards Pearce due to his grappling advantage, though Onama’s striking makes him dangerous.
Jhonata Diniz vs. Austen Lane
- Diniz’s superior technique is favored over Lane’s athleticism. Kyle predicts Diniz will handle Lane’s power, making this another closely watched fight.
Karine Silva vs. Ariane Lipski
- Silva’s consistent improvement and dominance make her Kyle’s pick over Lipski, despite Lipski’s recent enhancements. This fight is expected to be competitive, with Silva slightly favored.
Ryan Spann vs. Bogdan Guskov
- Spann’s inconsistency makes this prediction difficult for Kyle, but he leans towards Spann due to his slight technical edge over Guskov.
