Walk The Line MMA — UFC Fight Night: Buckley vs. Malott full-card predictions

Teller sees Galanti as the more athletic and capable fighter, with a stronger jiu-jitsu game and improved striking. Although he considers a knockout possible, he selects a submission, expecting Galanti to slow the pace, find the back and secure a rear-naked choke.

Teller favors Cerminara's reach, striking volume and experience over Stiller's judo and submission threat. He expects Cerminara to keep the fight standing, score rounds and cope better with a sustained pace, while noting her long layoff and the need to avoid being thrown onto her back.

Teller regards Faglier as the more complete mixed martial artist, combining wrestling experience with calculated striking and submissions. He thinks Faglier can resist Mahjoub's grappling, force a more varied fight and expose him as the rounds progress. He expects an inside-the-distance win but leaves open a TKO or submission.

Teller favors Chovancek's takedown defense, size and striking, expecting him to keep enough of the fight standing to land the greater damage. He considers a knockout possible but ultimately expects You's grappling pressure to consume time and Chovancek to win a decision. He calls the matchup close and sees the betting value on You despite his Chovancek pick.

Teller selects Koslow for his jiu-jitsu, youth and size, seeing ways to exploit Anheliger's grappling difficulties through takedowns, pressure and control. He also sees a possible submission but does not choose a method. His pick depends on Koslow having used his lengthy absence to sharpen his striking and overall game.

Teller expects Croden's physical strength, clinch work, takedowns and cardio to let her increase the pace and win the later rounds. He thinks Chandler can score at range against Croden's defensive openings, particularly if Croden starts slowly. He nevertheless selects Croden by decision while seeing the money-line value on Chandler.

Teller expects Diniz's stronger striking and power to hurt Boser and make him hesitant to pursue takedowns. He distrusts Boser's ability to exploit Diniz's grappling weakness, although he acknowledges that weakness creates a real path for Boser. He calls a Diniz knockout in the first or second round.

Teller favors Perez's dangerous striking, youth and developing all-round game, expecting him to land hard on Nelson and finish him. Nelson's response to his recent stoppage loss makes Teller doubt how he will cope with that damage. He views Perez's earlier loss to Souza in the context of a strong performance before the late finish, rather than as evidence of weak durability.

Teller backs Daukaus's size, boxing and high-level jiu-jitsu against Barriault's defensive openings. He expects a finish if Daukaus arrives sharp and confident after his recent loss. He considers both a submission and a striking stoppage, then selects TKO while acknowledging the method is a coin flip.

Teller expects Nallo's length, aggression and power to exploit Landwehr's defensive vulnerabilities and accumulated damage. He acknowledges that Nallo's own durability leaves Landwehr live to hurt him, and that Landwehr brings wrestling and toughness. He nevertheless calls Nallo by first-round knockout, with the second round a possibility.

Teller sees Jourdain as slightly more polished in his striking and ahead in his overall tactics, with a promising well-rounded skill set. He respects Cuamba's development and considers this a close, winnable matchup for the underdog. He selects Jourdain by decision while declining to back him confidently at the quoted favorite's price.

Teller expects Blanchfield's grappling to prevent Jasudavicius from imposing her usual pressure and control. He thinks Blanchfield's developing striking will then have opportunities against Jasudavicius's poor striking defense. He confidently backs Blanchfield to win and repeatedly calls a knockout for fun.

Teller favors Malott's wrestling and striking volume to win the majority of rounds, including close rounds through activity or timely takedowns. He worries that Buckley can capitalize on any dip in Malott's sharpness with a big strike. He selects Malott by decision, while leaning toward Buckley if the fight ends inside the distance.

“I am siding with Malot to win this fight and I'm going to say he wins the decision.”
