Watch the full video above or read the short breakdown of each fight below:
Main Event: Matheus Nicolau vs. Alex Perez
Jacob predicts a potentially boring encounter due to Nicolau’s counter-striking style, anticipating a lot of defensive movements and minimal aggression following Nicolau’s recent KO loss. Nicolau is expected to play it safe, which could lead to a less engaging fight. Jacob’s Pick: Matheus Nicolau
Co-Main Event: Ryan Span vs. Bogdan Guskov
Expecting a quick finish, Jacob highlights the striking power of both fighters. He advises watching the under on rounds, anticipating an early knockout due to the aggressive striking styles of both fighters. Jacob’s Pick: Bogdan Guskov
Maheshate Hayisaer vs. Gabriel Benitez
Jacob favors the younger Hayisaer to have the striking advantage over Benitez, who has shown vulnerabilities when pressured. Despite Benitez’s experience, Jacob expects Maheshate Hayisaer power to be decisive. Jacob’s Pick: Maheshate Hayisaer
Ivana Petrovic vs. Liang Na
Liang Na, according to Jacob, might pull off an upset due to her aggressive ground game, despite her poor striking. Petrovic is the significant favorite, but Jacob sees potential for Liang to exploit any grappling exchanges. Jacob’s Pick: Liang Na
Katlin Souza vs. Marnic Mann
Jacob appreciates Mann’s physical improvement but remains skeptical about her ability to convert it into effective fighting skill. Souza’s advantage in striking leads Jacob to favor her in this matchup. Jacob’s Pick: Katlin Souza
Don’tale Mayes vs. Caio Machado
Jacob foresees a sloppy fight where neither fighter will significantly outpace the other. He slightly leans towards Masado, expecting him to utilize his wrestling background effectively against Mayes. Jacob’s Pick: Caio Machado
Austin Hubbard vs. Michal Figlak
Highlighting Hubbard’s resilience and Figlak’s striking, Jacob predicts a tight match where Hubbard might find success if he can bring his wrestling into play. However, he edges towards Figlak due to better striking and preparation. Jacob’s Pick: Michal Figlak
Victor Henry vs. Rani Yahya
Despite Henry being a heavy favorite, Jacob suggests that Yahya’s grappling and experience could surprise Henry if the fight goes to the ground. He sees Yahya potentially controlling the fight if he can manage takedowns. Jacob’s Pick: Rani Yayha
JSP vs. David Onama
Noting Onama’s striking power and improved defense, Jacob anticipates that Onama could outperform JSP if he keeps the fight standing. He expects Onama’s resilience to shine through in this clash. Jacob’s Pick: David Onama
Uros Medic vs. Tim Means
Jacob describes this as a high-risk fight for Means, known for his toughness but vulnerability to precise strikers like Medic. Expecting an explosive first round, Jacob leans towards Medic due to his striking prowess. Jacob’s Pick: Uros Medic
Johanata Deniz vs. Austin Lane
Lane’s lack of striking finesse leads Jacob to favor Deniz, albeit hesitantly, given Deniz’s unconvincing high-level kickboxing background. This fight might reveal more about Deniz’s true capabilities. Jacob’s Pick: Johanata Deniz
Karine Silva vs. Ariani Lipski
Jacob is impressed with Silva’s ability to control the pace and expects her to capitalize on Lipski’s predictable striking pattern. He sees Silva managing the fight well both on the feet and on the ground. Jacob’s Pick: Karine Silva
