Fight	Pick	Actual	Winner	Method	Round
	FAV Medić · KO/TKO · R1	Medić · KO/TKO R1	Hit	Hit	Hit
Leans heavily on Rodriguez's long layoff and reads him as a lesser version of Geoff Neal, whom Medic already knocked out. Expects Medic to rush him immediately in front of a wild Serbian crowd. “I'm going to go with Uroš Medić to KO D'Rod in the first round.” Hear it — 24:33 View this fight →
	DOG Błachowicz · Dec	Stirling · KO/TKO R1	Miss	Not applicable — the winner call missed	Not applicable — the winner call missed
Says Blachowicz has had close fights with every monster at 205 and still has it at 43, while Stirling's record flatters him. Calls the step up on short notice too much too soon. “I'm going to go with Jan Błachowicz by decision.” Hear it — 21:06 View this fight →
	FAV Rakić · KO/TKO · R3	Rakić · Dec R3	Hit	Miss	Miss
Calls Tybura a beatable gatekeeper who has looked awful in his last two, while Rakic is the far better, taller, more powerful striker who should suit heavyweight better. Hear it — 18:10 View this fight →
	FAV Valentin · Sub · R1	Valentin · Sub R1	Hit	Hit	Hit
Sees Todorovic as very beatable with never-great grappling, and expects the newly locked-in Valentin to skip the striking war, shoot a takedown and hunt a finish on the mat. Hear it — 13:46 View this fight →

Backs Cepo's 100% finish rate and Oktagon form in front of a home crowd, and dismisses Urbina as 7-4 with one UFC win and finished in his last two. “I'm going to go with Vlasto Cepo by KO in the first round.” Hear it — 15:20 View this fight →

of 11 picks with a known pre-fight price

Fight	Pick	Actual	Winner	Method	Round
	FAV Holloway · KO/TKO · R2	Holloway · KO/TKO R1	Hit	Hit	Miss
Picks Max Holloway because McGregor's long layoff, lifestyle questions and repaired leg are too much to trust against an active elite striker. He gives McGregor a puncher's chance, but expects Holloway's pace and current form to overwhelm him in round two. Hear it — 31:19 View this fight →
	DOG Bautista · Dec	Bautista · Dec	Hit	Hit	Not called
Takes Mario Bautista as an underdog because he can threaten Cory Sandhagen in both striking and grappling phases. He thinks Sandhagen's elite schedule matters, but Bautista's all-around pressure gives Sandhagen more to solve than a one-discipline matchup. Hear it — 22:02 View this fight →
	FAV Kavanagh · Dec	Royval · Sub R3	Miss	Not applicable — the winner call missed	Not applicable — the winner call missed
Sides with Lone'er Kavanagh's speed, kicking game and technical striking in a striker-friendly matchup. He respects Brandon Royval's elite experience and volume, but thinks Kavanagh is the smoother fighter over three rounds. Hear it — 18:32 View this fight →
	FAV Steveson · Sub · R1	Steveson · KO/TKO R1	Hit	Miss	Hit
Backs Gable Steveson's Olympic wrestling and Jon Jones camp work to be too much for Elisha Ellison. He sees the matchup as designed for Steveson to get takedowns, control the fight and find an early submission. Hear it — 9:09 View this fight →
	FAV Whittaker · Dec	Whittaker · KO/TKO R3	Hit	Miss	Not called
Picks Robert Whittaker to win on skill despite moving up to light heavyweight. He sees Nikita Krylov as a fair first opponent at the weight and expects Whittaker's striking class and takedown defense to carry a three-round decision. Hear it — 11:38 View this fight →
	FAV Wang · Dec	Wang · Dec	Hit	Hit	Not called
Trusts Wang Cong's sharper striking and improved anti-grappling against Tracy Cortez's wrestling game. He expects Cortez to have moments, including possible takedowns, but thinks Wang keeps enough of the fight standing to win rounds. Hear it — 2:55 View this fight →
	FAV Riley · KO/TKO · R1	Riley · KO/TKO R1	Hit	Hit	Hit
Rates Luke Riley's boxing, Cage Warriors experience and finishing power well above the threat Kai Kamaka brings. He expects Riley to handle the grappling well enough and land a heavy first-round shot. Hear it — 4:50 View this fight →
	FAV Yañez · KO/TKO · R2	Yañez · KO/TKO R1	Hit	Hit	Miss
Leans Adrian Yanez because Cody Garbrandt's recent durability and defensive lapses worry him against a cleaner offensive boxer. He gives Garbrandt a chance, but expects Yanez's hands to catch up to him and force a second-round finish. Hear it — 6:57 View this fight →
	DOG Reese · KO/TKO · R1	Gandra · KO/TKO R1	Miss	Not applicable — the winner call missed	Not applicable — the winner call missed
Picks Zachary Reese to rebound with his size, striking and finishing ability. He acknowledges Ryan Gandra looked good in his UFC arrival, but trusts Reese as the bigger, more rounded fighter with the power to end it early. Hear it — 0:27 View this fight →
	FAV Costa · KO/TKO · R1	Costa · Sub R2	Hit	Miss	Miss
Sees Alessandro Costa as far too dangerous on the feet for Cody Durden. He expects Costa to keep the fight standing, punish Durden's defensive gaps and land the kind of power shot that ends the fight in round one. Hear it — 1:07 View this fight →
	FAV Saint Denis · Dec	Pimblett · Sub R1	Miss	Not applicable — the winner call missed	Not applicable — the winner call missed
Calls it a close, low-confidence fight but picks Benoit Saint Denis for having more ways to win. He expects Saint Denis to punish Paddy Pimblett's striking defense, mix in his own grappling and do enough across three rounds. Hear it — 25:50 View this fight →

Fight	Pick	Actual	Winner	Method	Round
	FAV Topuria · KO/TKO · R1	Gaethje · KO/TKO R4	Miss	Not applicable — the winner call missed	Not applicable — the winner call missed
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 “It's tailor made for Ilia.” Hear it — 24:06 View this fight →
	FAV Pereira · KO/TKO · R1	Gane · KO/TKO R2	Miss	Not applicable — the winner call missed	Not applicable — the winner call missed
Pereira has built a career knocking out elite technical strikers, while Gane's best striking win is Volkov and he carries no real grappling or knockout threat. Gane is smooth and hard to hit, but Pereira has the power and resume and the host trusts him to find a way. Low-confidence pick — unknown how Pereira looks at heavyweight Gane is the first opponent not smaller than Pereira Wants an instant DQ if Gane eye-pokes Hear it — 19:46 View this fight →
	FAV O'Malley · KO/TKO · R2	O'Malley · KO/TKO R2	Hit	Hit	Hit
O'Malley has faced far better strikers and grapplers across his career than Zahabi, a 38-year-old who only barely beat Aldo and Vera. The host sees O'Malley as the most dynamic striker in the division and expects vintage form. High confidence — 'most winnable opponent O'Malley's had in years' MMA-math nod: O'Malley destroyed Vera, who pushed Zahabi close Predicts O'Malley's first finish since Almakdam Hear it — 16:57 View this fight →
	FAV Hokit · KO/TKO · R1	Hokit · KO/TKO R2	Hit	Hit	Miss
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 Hear it — 12:53 View this fight →
	FAV Ruffy · KO/TKO · R1	Ruffy · KO/TKO R1	Hit	Hit	Hit
Ruffy is one of the most precise strikers in the division after his KO of Fiziev, while the 40-year-old Chandler is hittable, droppable and coming off poor showings — even Pimblett out-struck him. The host expects Ruffy to counter Chandler's wild swings with a big shot. 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 Hear it — 11:20 View this fight →
	FAV Nickal · Dec	Nickal · KO/TKO R1	Hit	Miss	Not called
Nickal is favoured everywhere — underrated striking plus a huge wrestling base — and the host sees him a step ahead wherever it goes. Daukaus is dangerous and well-rounded and holds his own, but the host doesn't think he beats Nickal. Medium confidence — wary since the de Ridder loss Concern: a de Ridder repeat where Nickal looks good then gets finished Daukaus is a finishing threat everywhere Hear it — 6:38 View this fight →
	FAV Lopes · Dec	Lopes · KO/TKO R2	Hit	Miss	Not called
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. Medium confidence — admits the odds (~63%) are closer than expected Garcia's danger is real — seven of his last eight by KO A very winnable stylistic matchup for Lopes, not a domination Hear it — 3:12 View this fight →
