MMA Experts — UFC 329 full-card predictions

Calls the short-notice UFC debut a tall task for Garza. He likes Garza's pressure and right hand, but sees Basharat as the seasoned, well-rounded UFC fighter with enough grappling layers to take over and finish by submission.

“I'll go Farid by submission finish.”

Treats the fight as a Steveson showcase. He expects the Olympic wrestler to put Ellison on the mat quickly, lean on ground-and-pound, and finish in the first round.

“Gable Stevenson should deliver a first round TKO.”

Likes Whittaker's speed and cleaner striking at light heavyweight. He sees Krylov as hittable and vulnerable after recent knockout losses, giving Whittaker a statement finish opportunity.

“I think Robert Whitaker is gonna end up knocking him out, too.”

Trusts Kavanagh's cardio, energy management and cleaner striking after the Moreno fight. He thinks Royval is durable enough to avoid the finish, but not sharp enough to win the minutes.

“Nah, bro. Nah, I got Kavanaaugh decision.”

Shares the Holloway stoppage read. He expects McGregor to fatigue and become uncomfortable as Holloway's combinations stack up, with Holloway avenging the first fight by knockout.

“I think Max Holloway is going to avenge that loss by KO.”
