Lerone Murphy, DEC
Holy moly, what a main event for the striking enthusiasts. This fight will probably be the ultimate test to see if Barboza is washed. Murphy is starting to hit the peak of his career and his standup, while nowhere near the Holloways and Yairs of the division, is still somewhere near elite. Murphy SHOULD win, but I'm not doubting Barboza, he still has some solid wins at 38.
Williams vs. Harris
Carlston Harris, DEC
Anyone who looks at my posts knows that I'm a big Carlston Harris fan. His stand up is pretty unorthodox but his wrestling and submissions are very good. He has a lot of solid wins too. The Izagakhmaev win is what turned a lot of heads, including Dana's which is why he's in the UFC. He then went on to beat Christian Aguilera, current PFL champ Impa Kasanganay, then lost to Shavkat which is a very good loss, and then has 2 more very good wins vs Gooden and Wells. The Wells win in particular was very good. Now let's talk about Khaos, another guy who I really like. The Alhassan KO had my jaw on the floor when it happened, and the 1 hit KO power is evident. He also has good submission defense as I saw in the Baeza fight, but he struggles against anyone who has a lick of technique in their striking. He barely beat a debuting Bedoya who will probably be good in the future but it's still not a good look since he's raw right now. I'm gonna take Harris here, I think he's a future champ.
Brahimaj vs. Gorimbo
Ramiz Brahimaj, SUB, R1
They are both kind of frauds, Brahimaj losing to a 37 y/o Court McGee is not a good look but McGee still is a very good wrestler. Gorimbo has striker length and tools but he only wants to wrestle for some reason. Gorimbo still has time to put it all together and if he does he could be good. Pretty sure Gorimbo comes out trying to wrestle and gets subbed quickly.
Yanez vs. Salvador
Adrian Yanez, TKO, R1
Any Salvador fight is guaranteed to be a good one but he will almost always be on the losing end. I hear a lot of people talking about him as like a bad version of Anderson Silva and honestly that checks out. He's basically Silva if it was only the version of him we saw in the first Weidman fight. UFC is basically gift-wrapping a win for Yanez, who is one of the best bantamweight strikers in the UFC.
Hill vs. Pinheiro
Luana Pinheiro, DEC
I feel like Hill has to be the worst fighter to bet on because she loses a lot of winnable fights and wins a lot of fights where she should lose. Any Hill fight is always guaranteed to go the distance though. I really like Pinheiro. She is comfortable on her feet and has power but her main thing is her wrestling. I have some worries about her cardio which she struggles with at times (especially against someone like Hill, that could be a problem) but she has room to get even better.
Nolan vs. Martinez
Victor Martinez, TKO, R1
I liked Tom Nolan at DWCS but now I don't. He has good size but getting chinned by Motta is a really bad look. Martinez is fine I guess, he has good striking, can be finished but I really don't think Tom Nolan is legit.
Sy vs. Tokkos
Oumar Sy, DEC
Tokkos to the UFC is interesting. He's a brawler but not a very good one. He will try to brawl and get outbrawled and KOd. Haven't seen much from Sy but he looks like a nice ground and pound guy.
Vidal vs. Gatto
Melissa Gatto, SUB, R1
Vidal has good power but she won't be able to beat Gatto's BJJ. Unless she is stupid and keeps it on the feet, Gatto should win.
Magomedov vs. Alves
Abus Magomedov, TKO, R1
Should be an easy fight for Abus. He has a 1.5 round gas tank but Alves doesn't have the chin to make out of the second round.
Rodriguez vs. Carnelossi
Ariane Carnelossi, DEC
I think they're both pretty solid, Piera is a jack-of-all-trades, master of none, she beat Gotsyk in LFA who I thought was pretty good, she hasn't had any too crazy wins in the UFC yet but I could see her making a solid win streak and becoming a top 15 fighter. Carnelossi is really good though. Her size is crazy for the smallest division in the UFC. She is BUFF, and she can do damage on the feet and on the mat with her physical tools. Even though Na Liang and Istela Nunes isn't the best comp, she looked out of their league in those fights. I could easily see her making a rise to the top 5, but being 31 she'd have to do it quick.
Alatengheili vs. Rodrigues
Alatengheili, DEC
Alatengheili is a very promising striker, I like his power and his accuracy is pretty good, and he finally gets sort of a test in KR. He's mainly a standup fighter but has some submission prowess, but his standup is more explosive than technical. If Alatengheili wins this, he should get a ranked fighter next.
Ducote vs. Demopoulos
Vanessa Demopoulos, DEC
I am mostly picking Demopoulous because of the fights that have been practically gifted to her (Frey, Murata) but if we don't get biased judges this is a very winnable fight for Ducote. She is a technical striker but does struggle with range and volume, but it's good thing Demopoulous is a wrestler, even though she's not a very good one. She has no takedown offense or defense, and she just spends the entire fight subhunting from her back. It does work, either by submission or robbery. Ducote probably wont try to get this fight to the mat but I have a feeling Demopoulous does some weird stuff to try to bait Ducote to the mat to do her thing.

Abus Magomedov, TKO, R1
We saw Abus take a more calculated and patient approach in his last fight, but I think we see the Abus of old here. He sees a finishable Alves fighting above his natural weight class and I don't think he's going to respect what's coming back at him whatsoever. He should get the early finish here.
Rodriguez vs. Carnelossi
Piera Rodriguez, DEC
Who knows what Carnelossi looks like after a 2 year lay off. So far in her UFC career she's beaten cans, then been completely outclassed by ranked fighters, so she lies somewhere in between. Rodriguez has the more impressive resume and aside from physique and raw strength, she should have the advantage everywhere when it comes to technical skills. I think she wins a clear, but not dominant 29-28 or 30-27 DEC
Alatengheili vs. Rodrigues
Alatengheili, DEC
One of the tougher fights on the card to predict. Kleydson is talented, but we still don't know much about him, especially at 135, and that's what makes this so hard to predict. He's a wild, dynamic striker, but that striking style causes him to slow down as the fight goes on. He lacks the basic boxing skills and that's where Alateng excels and will be what helps him win this fight I think. Kleydson comes out hot and wins round 1, but Alateng starts to work him with the boxing as Kleydson's output slows in round 2, then wrestles his way to a 29-28 decision in round 3. Not betting on this one though, especially with Kleydson being the far more dangerous fighter.
Ducote vs. Demopoulos
Emily Ducote, DEC
Ducote is so much more technical on the feet than Demopoulos and has solid takedown defense. She should be able to keep this fight standing and take the decision. If Demopoulos somehow gets this to the ground she has a chance though.

Lerone Murphy, TKO, R4
Barboza's last war against Sodiq he took a ton of damage. I will never doubt his toughness but there's no doubt it takes a toll on the body. Lerone has not faced the toughest competition but I think this will be a good proving ground to see where he stands in the FW division.
Brahimaj vs. Gorimbo
Themba Gorimbo, TKO, R1
The UFC wants Themba Gorimbo to do well. If he can keep it standing he will get it done quickly
Yanez vs. Salvador
Adrian Yanez, DEC
I think Yanez will come out a little gun shy but will get the job done either by decision or a finish in the later rounds
