MAIN EVENT TIME
Ryan Benoit vs. Zarrukh Adashev
Ryan Benoit is more experienced and has faced stiffer competition. Adashev has yet to impressive in the UFC. He came in as a big favorite in his debut fight against Tyson Nam and he got dusted in a round. Adashev is a guy with 6 pro fights, and hes really struggled against guys who are more seasoned in the sport. In Benoit, hes facing a guy with 17 pro fights, and whos losses are coming against some of the cream of the crop in the bantam weight division.
Ryan Benoit (lock) 140
Niklas Stolze vs. Jared Gooden
Both of these guys are looking for their first win under the UFC banner, but Jard Gooden’s losses are against Alan Jouban (ok, not horrible) and Abubakar Nurmagomedov (not Khabib!). Stolze’s lone fight was a loss against a guy im VERY high on, Ramazan Emeev. Look, this is the best of a bad bunch. It should be a decent fight and ill go with Stolze
Niklas Stolze -200
Gloria De Paula vs. Cheyanne Buys
Cheyanne Buys was humbled in her last fight. She came in as a huge favorite against Montserrat Ruiz and she got worked for 3 rounds. Both of these women are Contender Series alumni and while De Paula lost her initial fight as well, Im picking Buys because of the humbling experience. Thats it. It should be a good scrap but it will be very interesting to see what kind of Buys comes out
Cheyanne Buys-165
Kyung Ho Kang vs. Rani Yahya
Yahya should be able to get Kang down and submit him. Kang’s path to victory is his standup and I dont see it improving THAT much to make a difference against Yahya’s ground game
Rani Yahya +100
Sean Strickland vs. Uriah Hall
Sean Strickland has some Beautiful striking. He paints a masterpiece during his fights. His fists are the brush, his opponents face is the canvas. After a 2 year layoff because of an accident, he returned and didnt lose a step. All 3 of his fights have been lopsided. On the other side Hall is riding a 4 fight win streak. It seems like he may have finally put it together. He always had the potential, but it was just a question of IF he could turn potential into results. BUT….his last fight was apart of that 4 fight win streak, and he didnt throw a punch. It was an ugly UGLY Chris Weidman broken leg on a checked kick that was Anderson Silva esq (which is very ironic.) Hall looked visably shaken as Weidman laid in the cage. So I question the mindset he has entering into the cage. Strickland and by finish.
Sean Strickland (lock) -225
