Kunath — UFC Fight Night: Buckley vs. Malott full-card predictions

Kunath expects Malott’s takedowns and cleaner, more patient counter-striking to create more paths to victory. He notes Buckley’s power, body kicks and late-round cardio as the main risks.

“So, give me proper Mike to win inside the distance.”

He expects Blanchfield’s wrestling to put Jasudavicius on her back and create chances to take the back, and does not expect Jasudavicius to outgrapple her.

“So, I'm going to take Erin Blanchfield to win. Give me Erin Blanchfield by submission.”

He sees Perez as younger, faster and harder-hitting than Nelson, with wrestling as another path, and points to Nelson’s poor takedown defense and trouble under pressure.

“Give me Perez inside the distance.”

He expects Barriault’s strength and gritty clinch pressure to trouble Daukaus if Barriault survives early danger, and predicts a knockout/TKO finish.

“I'm going to take Marc-André Barriault. I think he ends up winning by knockout. I think he gets a nice TKO finish.”

He expects Jourdain’s steady output to outscore Cuamba over three rounds, with Jourdain holding the jiu-jitsu edge if the fight reaches the mat.

“So, give me Luis Jourdain by decision.”

He believes Nallo’s technique, speed and size advantage over Landwehr will create a knockout, despite frustration with Nallo’s previous performance against Jai Herbert.

“Give me Nallo to win. I'm going to take him by first round knockout, but I don't like it.”

He expects Diniz to tag Boser over three rounds; Boser may have moments, but Kunath does not expect sustained success and says Diniz has a good chin.

“So, give me Jonata Diniz at the chance of winning by decision.”

He considers Leblanc’s UFC debut a poor showing and expects Galanti to win early by knockout.

“I'm going to take Nick Galanti to win. I think he ends up winning pretty early, wins by knockout.”

He expects the stronger, Olympic-level wrestler to take Faglier down and control him. He acknowledges Faglier could hurt him with kicks and hands if the fight stays standing, but predicts a submission.

“So, I'll take Javid Magomedov to make good on his UFC debut to move to 6 and 0. I think he ends up winning by submission.”

He backs Stiller’s judo as the route to victory and expects a submission, particularly if Cerminara ends up on the bottom.

“So I'll take Mackenzie Stiller to win. I think she ends up winning by submission.”

He cites Koslow’s ground game as the strength that should let him take down and submit Anheliger in the first round.

“So I think Steven Koslow gets a submission. I think he does it round one.”

He expects Croden to pick Chandler up, take her down and finish with ground-and-pound.

“So, give me Melissa Croden. Give me Melissa Croden by knockout.”
