JJ Aldrich vs. Veronica Hardy

In the flyweight bout, Teller appreciates the skills of both fighters, particularly noting JJ Aldrich’s exceptional boxing abilities. Veronica Hardy, having trained under the tutelage of Dan Hardy, shows significant improvements post-layoff. Teller predicts Aldrich, a slight underdog at +115, to leverage her size advantage and well-rounded abilities to secure a decision victory.

Jared Gooden vs. Kevin Jousset

Teller expresses less confidence in Jared Gooden, noting his inconsistent UFC performances. Kevin Jousset, praised for his technical striking and potential, comes in as a stronger favorite. Despite Gooden’s resilience, Teller sees Jousset winning by decision, given his sharper skills and strategic fighting style.

Jake Hadley vs. Charles Johnson

Teller is excited about this matchup, highlighting Jake Hadley’s potential and comprehensive skills. While acknowledging Johnson’s toughness, Teller leans towards Hadley’s ability to control the fight, predicting a win by decision for Hadley, who is a favorite at -165.

Trey Waters vs. Billy Goff

In a matchup between two promising welterweights, Teller sees Trey Waters leveraging his reach and evolving skill set to overcome Billy Goff. Despite Goff’s recent knockout wins, Teller selects Waters, who shows promise with his adaptability and technique.

Tabatha Ricci vs. Tecia Torres

Teller discusses the challenges Tecia Torres might face coming off a layoff and recent motherhood against an active and hungry Tabatha Ricci. Emphasizing Ricci’s solid grappling and improving striking, Teller cautiously picks Ricci to edge out a decision win.

Terrance McKinney vs. Esteban Ribovics

Terrance McKinney’s explosive style and power are well-noted, but Teller raises concerns about his consistency and durability. Esteban Ribovics, less worn by fight mileage, is predicted to handle McKinney’s bursts and potentially secure a finish.

Chase Hooper vs. Viacheslav Borshchev

Chase Hooper, known for his grappling, faces a tough test against the striking prowess of Viacheslav Borshchev. Teller predicts Borshchev to dominate in striking and potentially secure an early finish unless Hooper can drastically change the fight’s dynamics on the ground.

Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs. Robelis Despaigne

Highlighting the knockout power of Waldo Cortes-Acosta, Teller predicts a likely early finish against Robelis Despaigne. The fight is expected to be an exciting stand-up battle, with Cortes-Acosta’s striking ability tipped to be the decisive factor.

Alex Caceres vs. Sean Woodson

In this featherweight clash, Sean Woodson’s reach and striking are expected to control the fight against Alex Caceres. Teller is impressed by Woodson’s continuous improvements and predicts a decision win for him, leveraging his superior boxing and tactical acumen.

Diego Ferreira vs. Mateusz Rębecki

Teller notes the age and recent performance decline of Diego Ferreira against the rising Mateusz Rębecki. Predicting a finish by Rębecki, Teller highlights the younger fighter’s power and technique as key advantages.

Alonzo Menifield vs. Carlos Ulberg

Despite Alonzo Menifield’s power, Carlos Ulberg’s technique and fight intelligence are expected to shine. Teller foresees a tactical battle with Ulberg likely securing a win by leveraging his superior kickboxing and range management.

Joaquin Buckley vs. Nursulton Ruziboev

Teller is torn in this exciting middleweight matchup. Ruziboev’s power and aggression are noted, but Buckley’s experience and crowd support in St. Louise could play a significant role. Teller hesitantly picks Ruziboev, expecting an intense fight that could go either way.

Derrick Lewis vs. Rodrigo Nascimento

The main event features Derrick Lewis’s knockout power against Rodrigo Nascimento’s grappling. Teller is intrigued by the dynamics of this heavyweight bout, predicting that Nascimento could use his grappling to control and possibly submit Lewis, although the threat of a Lewis knockout always looms large.
