MMA Experts — Hooker vs. Parnasse full-card breakdown

Rates Benouaich's technical game and defence above Montenegro's power-first, defence-light brawling.

“I do feel like the French start off with the win. Deli's technical MMA game should be able to overcome a fun brawler in Sophia Montenegro.”

Trusts Aljarouj's power and wrestling to outdo Sintes' trickier but lower-level grappling and striking.

“So, I'll go Michael Arajuj in a competitive fight to do some more damage.”

Thinks Sy's reach and wrestling let him out-work Bukauskas across fifteen minutes.

“I'm going to go with Umarci on the judges scorecards to do a little more over the 15 minutes and take it on uh unanimous decision probably.”

Expects Pinto's technical kickboxing to tire Spann and land the finish late.

“So Mario Pinto to get the job done to get the knockout in the later stage of the fight.”

Favours Syguła's camp and recent improvement over a Cornolle he reads as slowing after injury.

“So I will go Claudia Saigula to get it done against Norah Corno.”

Points to Dias never checking kicks as the opening for Duclos' leg kicks and mobility.

“I think that Ducllo is a tricky matchup for Luis Phipe Diaz. And I'm going to pick Ducllo here.”

Calls it a low-confidence pick leaning on Campbell's jiu-jitsu, while flagging concern about his chin.

“I am going to predict Curtis Campbell,”

Rates Donchenko's varied striking as too dangerous for the more boxing-bound Soriano.

“So, we'll believe in Donchenko to get the job done. And uh I do hope he shows us a bit of the patience, but he's live to knock Sorano out.”

Sees Lima as more technical everywhere and expects him to out-work Charriere's wilder power style.

“So I'm going to go with Felipe Lima to shut down Morgan Sharier to a unanimous decision win.”

Rates Keita's speed and layered striking well above what he calls a generalist in Naimov.

“I'm going with Los Kea.”

Picks Nurullo Ruziboev after identifying the size, pressure, knockout power, and submission threat as problems for Michael Page; no method is stated in the pick cue.

“I'm going to go with Nur Sultan Rizzy Boy.”

Credits Ziam's technical striking, clinch work and experience over a more hittable, less tested Sola.

“So, we're going FZam to beat Axel Sola in the co-main event.”

Believes Parnasse's rounded striking and grappling exploit Hooker's declining defence.

“So, we're going Parnas in the main event with just simply too many weapons, much athleticism, too much precision.”
