UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs. Murphy | PREDICTIONS, PREVIEW, PICKS & BREAKDOWN | MMA BEST BETS

“I'm going with Emily Ducote she's better all around overall faster better Striker both are pretty strong and willing to strike but I feel like the little monster Vanessa throws a lot at air and she gets hit a lot when she decides to stand in throw Vanessa has good takedowns and she doesn't get absolutely dominated it's mostly just on the feet against better Strikers ducati's face better competition she's younger more experience we're going with the favorite at minus 275”

“we're going Kleydson Rodrigues atus 185 the Mongolian Knight is a great Underdog coming in at plus 150 Piera Rodríguez his two UFC losses have been bad I get it he does a very nice striking technique he is good at scrambling decent grappling fancy Striker and this is kind of like Prospect vers MMA veteran Clayton Piera Rodríguez it's time to turn things around this isn't an easy opponent to do that by any means but definitely a beatable opponent if you are a legit UFC Prospect Alateng Heili is well-rounded he's fought good opponents I'm iffy on this one but I'm going with the Brazilian”

“I'm going to go with Pierre Piera Rodríguez on this one Ariane Carnelossi though she has arms twice the size of me she's not a quick Striker she's strong but only really explosive early in the fight 14 and three as a pro pretty good resume here 3 and two in her last five fights has looked good in her UFC fights she did lose to Lupita ginz in her last fight before them was on a two fight win streak Piera Rodríguez 9 and one as a pro she is the favorite of mine 175 she hits hard she has quick hands former LFA Champion despite actually having some KO power and decent hand she can take women down at will solid resume on the regional scene and in the UFC I just don't see where carnelossi is beating her I don't think carnelossi knocks her out I don't think carosi has as quick hands carosi does have nine kotko which is very impressive but you look at Piera Rodríguez five kotko to her name as well despite her having some decent grappling she's got zero submissions cuz she never had to she's employed ground and pound and control to win her fights I'm going with Piera Rodríguez again caral Losi she's okay just not as quick and despite having that one punch power it's just not her her movements her technique not as explosive after the first round so we're going Piera Rodríguez on this one”

“we're going Abusupiyan Magomedov on this one minus 250 he's the favorite and I just think warley Alves he's done at the UFC level we'll probably see him fight in the pfl I don't think Alves will be able to put a high Pace on Abus he's just a big hard Striker now Abus is bigger Longer more dangerous looking at the B fight and even back at the Strickland fight in hindsight not the worst losses right not the worst losses I don't think he will gas as hard as he did against Strickland hopefully Paces himself a little bit more in the first round and again if he doesn't gas himself in the first first he'll probably get that KO TKO likely in the second round but regardless Abus Maga that's my pick”

“we're going Tamires Vidal let's move on to the next one next we have Oumar Sy against Tuco Tokkos I'm going to go Oumar Sy that is right both these guys have pretty damn good resumees Tuco Tokkos's on a three-fight win streak right now 4 And1 in his last five fights umarc 9 and0 he is undefeated ladies and gentlemen Tuco 6K two submission two decision three 0 in Fury fought twice in Bellator h yeah his last three fights haven't been that great though beat a 19 and 10 Guy 1 and seven and three and two and even lost on road to UFC against mingang Zang he was 15 and six before then put a decent win streak together be a 3 and one 5- one and 9 and three guy lost on road deev scene has just been crushing cans on shto Brazil and fury again Oumar Sy on the other hand has just been lighting It Up 4 K goes three submissions two decisions 3 and0 in ksw and he's foughten some really good opponents yeah his last three opponents 8 and2 19- 8 26 and 17 way better than his counterpart here and the MMA Guru actually hit the nail on the head on this one in his predictions video tuos has apparently popped before and C's used to fighting bigger juicier guys in ksw absolute monsters there that he has manhandled so even though tokos is a former PD abuser hell he still got a little suum in his system I don't think that will matter for c as he's used to it C's well rounded he hits Hard Solid striking good enough in the grappling and yeah toco's resume is just whack he has experience he's fought professionally 13 times but it's it's just not the greatest resume where Omar se's is way more impressive man way more impressive he's fought in ksw 100% fight Eagle FC against notable names so yeah Umar C minus 270 layup in my opinion on to the next one”

“I'm going to go Oumar Sy that is right both these guys have pretty damn good resumees Tuco Tokkos's on a three-fight win streak right now 4 And1 in his last five fights umarc 9 and0 he is undefeated ladies and gentlemen Tuco 6K two submission two decision three 0 in Fury fought twice in Bellator h yeah his last three fights haven't been that great though beat a 19 and 10 Guy 1 and seven and three and two and even lost on road to UFC against mingang Zang he was 15 and six before then put a decent win streak together be a 3 and one 5- one and 9 and three guy lost on road deev scene has just been crushing cans on shto Brazil and fury again Oumar Sy on the other hand has just been lighting It Up 4 K goes three submissions two decisions 3 and0 in ksw and he's foughten some really good opponents yeah his last three opponents 8 and2 19- 8 26 and 17 way better than his counterpart here and the MMA Guru actually hit the nail on the head on this one in his predictions video tuos has apparently popped before and C's used to fighting bigger juicier guys in ksw absolute monsters there that he has manhandled so even though tokos is a former PD abuser hell he still got a little suum in his system I don't think that will matter for c as he's used to it C's well rounded he hits Hard Solid striking good enough in the grappling and yeah toco's resume is just whack he has experience he's fought professionally 13 times but it's it's just not the greatest resume where Omar se's is way more impressive man way more impressive he's fought in ksw 100% fight Eagle FC against notable names so yeah Umar C minus 270 layup in my opinion on to the next one”

“I am going to pick Tom Nolan to win this one the odds seem a little wild like Victor Martinez is no schmuck he's former Fury Champion 32 years of age 13 and five and four- one in his last five fights only losing his last fight to Jordan levit though KO TKO that's why the odds are so whack however Tom Nolan lost his last fight to Nicholas MTA so why again why oh I'm going I'm going Tom Nolan I guess it sucks he got uh smacked by mat Tom Nolan's better all around solid resume for how young he is and for how young his prma record is good amateur run though so it's not like he doesn't have any experience at all he did go six- one as an amateur and developed an eternal MMA where he actually fought some decent opponents 2-0 when he was 2 7 And1 9 and6 11 and one on Contender series again Martinez has fought some really good guys as well he's got eight Kos in his prma career was on a great win streak coming into the UFC but yeah lost your debut against Jordan L Jordan l t KO you o Martinez does have KO power more fights but not in the best promotions and his resume other than fighting in Fury where he fought some good guys and actually won a belt there Tom Nolan that's the pick big train let's go”

“we're going with Angela Hill she's way better she's way better good counter wrestling good grappling really good striking and Angela Hill don't let her record fool you she has been robbed of decisions up and down her resume and recently as well other than getting beat up by McKenzie D You could argue the janir Roba fight was close okay I think she beat Amanda Lemos I think she beat Tisha Pennington she 100% beat Michelle Waton Gomez all right and Angela Hill Overkill she's a hard opponent despite her being almost 40 years of age she doesn't look like that in the cage she's quick she's still hits hard keeps the fights on the feet where her boxing her kickboxing her pocket strikes and Strikes at range usually get the better of her opponents Lana Panero she's 11 and two she's only the slide Underdog at plus one30 she's awful she's awful she's not going to win this fight she's not going to win this fight Angela Hill that's the pick way better allaround way better boxing Pano's slower despite being younger and Pano's she's not going to finish Hill she really isn't she's not going to knock her out she's not going to submit her I know she has five submissions in her promanade career it's not going to happen Angela Hill is going to win this one or she's going to be absolutely robbed of a split decision”

“I got andrean jannis in this one 16 and five as a pro for Yannis on a two fight losing streak right now despite going 5-0 in the UFC not necessarily Bea the best competition either takes a step up in competition gets knocked out to Rob font and then Jonathan Martinez takes out his legs ladies and gentlemen venicius Salvador on the other hand lost to CJ vagara lost to Victor Martinez he knocked out Shannon Ross on Contender series but again who hasn't knocked out Shannon Ross at this point right I'm not the biggest venicius Salvador fan he's okay he's only 27 years of age so he does have time to continue to train and to improve but Adrian Young I mean this is the level of opponent that Adrien jannis beats this is the level of opponent that Adrien jannis outboxes and just shows why he is in the UFC fighting back down in the basement of the rankings is Adrien jannis overall he's just way better both these guys are coming off losses but I do think Adrien jannis is you know maybe jiujitsu straight up against Salvador isn't the best but these guys ain't going to be playing no Jiu-Jitsu Salvador has okay leg kicks but jannis way better boxing good enough wrestling to counter whatever venicius Salvador will throw at him Yannis 10 Kos two submissions four decisions stud in LFA 5-2 in the UFC but yeah you look at the guys who we beat in the UFC Victor Piera Rodríguez Gustavo Lopez Randy Costa Davey Grant Tony Kelly right although that Tony Kelly one was very satisfying anyways Adrien jannis probably going to TK him or knock him out at some point in the fight”

“gimbo that is my pick moving on to the co- main event of the evening which features Khaos Williams and carlston Harris ladies and gentlemen interesting match up here interesting matchup very very close as far as the odds go chaos Williams minus 125 he's the favorite Carlston Harris plus 105 Khaos Williams is 30 years of age Carlson Harris 36 years old but you could have fooled me with how good he's looked recently 4-1 in his last five fights he's 19 and5 as a pro sub Jeremiah Wells and went to a decision with Jared Gooden lost to shavkat ranov no shame in that before them beat impa kasang and Christian Aguilera so honestly his last five fights he's fought really good opponents and four of those have been really good wins now Khaos Williams coming onto the scene I thought this guy was going to be unreal he's been okay he hasn't he's he surely hasn't been unreal but he does have some good wins on his resume six kot gos two submissions six decisions 5-2 in the UFC split decision against Ronaldo bedoya who's 14-1 for them beat a 10- one guy and an 8-2 Matthew simburger lost Michelle Pereira no shame in that beat Abdul razak alhassan and he was only t two at that time beat Alex morono man he's got some good wins in the UFC but again the Randy Brown Lost split decision so he lost the Randy Brown Split Decision don't like that you should be knocking out Randy Brown Michelle Pereira I don't mind too much but Michelle Pereira was still pretty green at that time in 20 T20 Carlston Harris man it's it's tough not to pick him cuz his grappling is so legit and he's fought in so many good promotions and so many good opponents six submissions five k Ko's never been submitted eight decisions 4-1 in the UFC 2-1 in Brave 3-0 in xfc and 2-1 in SHO oh man I know I know he's 36 going up against a 30-year-old but I do think Williams is going to rely on his striking a little too much Carlson Harris will find the entry and out grapple him we're going Carlson Harris on this one probably submission to be perfectly honest I'm going with the underdog locking it in chaos williams' power is always dangerous but I think I think Harris puts it together”

“we're going Carlson Harris on this one probably submission to be perfectly honest I'm going with the underdog locking it in chaos williams' power is always dangerous but I think I think Harris puts it together by the way Umar C on this card was supposed to fight Antonio troli and rolfo bolat so ends up settling for this opponent here all right moving up the card main event of the evening ladies and gentlemen and yes he is back in another Main Event Edson Barboza against Lerone Lerone Murphy luron Lerone Murphy is undefeated ladies and gentlemen 130 and one as a pro he's the slight favorite of minus 150 32 years of age beat Josh kba in his last fight Gabriel Santos before that Amir Connie before that but everyone beats Amir Connie Douglas Silva de Andra and Ricardo Ramos 14-2 26 and three Amir con will'll just pretend that we don't care about because we don't uh Gabriel Santos 10 and0 and Josh kba about 11-1 so luron Lerone Murphy he's been taking out really good opponents in the UFC s kotko six decisions 50 And1 in the UFC what else is there to say he's very well-rounded is he does he have that dangerous knockout power that Edson Barboza had throughout his career and still has no but he knows how to put it all together he knows how to win a fight if he if he has to make it boring he will if he has to out point you he will but luron Lerone Murphy's a very smart fighter but Edson Edson Barboza been there done that main event Fight Night former title Contender 24- 11 in his prma career and he's on a little bit of a Resurgence 4-2 in his last five fights beat Shane Bergos before going on a two-fight losing streak against gig chicat and Bryce Mitchell decision against Bryce Mitchell by the way then knocked up Billy corello And had a tremendous performance against sadik yusf where he rocked him a couple times and just just beat him all around just beat him all around look is he as quick as he once was no is his timing still there absolutely is he still tough his nails yet and does he still hit hard absolutely dude Edson Barboza 38 years old still looks very very good but luron Lerone Murphy that's a big big test that is a step up from a sadique yusf that is a step up from a Billy quarantillo And as far as luron Lerone Murphy you're taking a step up as far as fighting a guy with experience CU kibal Santos Ricardo Ramos they're not Edson Barboza now I will say Douglas silv D dra had had a lot of experience as well but again not Edson Edson Barboza ladies and gentlemen Edson Barboza 18- 11 in the UFC 13 kotos two submissions nine decisions and at plus 125 we're going with Edson Barboza I feel like these up and cominging Prospects they always disappoint in one fight that you're like oh you're going to up against the old fart of course you're going to win this one not against Edson Barboza not against Edson Barboza this is the first five rounder for luron Lerone Murphy again Edson Barboza he's been there done that many many times he's got decent takedown defense insane striking even at 38 awesome kicks as we know especially that spinning heel kick coming off two great wins don't get me wrong Lerone Murphy is very good very well rounded but not as dangerous in his striking not as dangerous in his one punch power first five rounder in the UFC probably will keep it a boring pace and drag out a close decision if luron Lerone Murphy wins whereas Edson Barboza is going to be pushing the pace in my opinion I'm banking on Edson Barboza to do more damage to the body and legs or get that KO Edson Barboza another Main event Victory here 38 years of age let's freaking go that is my prediction”

“we're going with Edson Barboza I feel like these up and cominging Prospects they always disappoint in one fight that you're like oh you're going to up against the old fart of course you're going to win this one not against Edson Barboza not against Edson Barboza this is the first five rounder for luron Lerone Murphy again Edson Barboza he's been there done that many many times he's got decent takedown defense insane striking even at 38 awesome kicks as we know especially that spinning heel kick coming off two great wins don't get me wrong Lerone Murphy is very good very well rounded but not as dangerous in his striking not as dangerous in his one punch power first five rounder in the UFC probably will keep it a boring pace and drag out a close decision if luron Lerone Murphy wins whereas Edson Barboza is going to be pushing the pace in my opinion I'm banking on Edson Barboza to do more damage to the body and legs or get that KO Edson Barboza another Main event Victory here 38 years of age let's freaking go that is my prediction”
