Gaethje is a brawly striker who gets dropped easily, while Topuria is the sharpest technical boxer in the UFC who specialises in knocking out technical strikers. The matchup is tailor-made for Topuria, who also out-grapples Gaethje if it hits the floor.

• Topuria has the edge everywhere, including grappling if it goes long
• Gaethje's only edge is heavy low kicks vs Topuria's front-leg-heavy stance
• Slight caveat: first fight since Topuria's divorce, could fight emotionally

• Gane is the first opponent not smaller than Pereira
• Wants an instant DQ if Gane eye-pokes

Hokit has legit NFL-grade wrestling and Lewis has essentially none, having been out-grappled by much of the division. The host expects an immediate takedown and ground-and-pound, and believes Lewis — a known quitter in high-stakes fights — gives up once on his back.

• Medium confidence — Lewis is the hardest puncher in the division
• Hokit is hittable and must stick to grappling, not trade
• Win comes via ground-and-pound TKO in round one

“Yeah, I'm going to go with Josh Hockett to finish Derrick Lewis by ground and pound finish in the very first round.”

• High confidence; sees the UFC building Ruffy
• Only path to a loss is if his grappling hasn't improved and Chandler leans on it
• Likely retires Chandler

• Concern: a de Ridder repeat where Nickal looks good then gets finished

Garcia is a sloppy, very hittable fighter taking a massive step up, while Lopes has gone fifty minutes with Volkanovski and finished Jean Silva. The host thinks Lopes is a step ahead and too sharp, though Lopes tends to go to decision.
