Early Prelims- Start 6:00pm EST
Alessandro Costa -130 vs Kevin Borjas +110
- Anthony: The card today opens with a flyweight contest between Kevin Borjas and Alessandro Costa. Every fight tonight features one Brazilian fighter and Costa will look to start a winning trend for his countrymen. I think fighting this early may end up hurting Costa after what appeared to be a very tough weight cut. Costa rehydrates well but I think Borjas will fight him in a style that could be taxing on his gas tank. Borjas has exceptional striking and very fast hands even for a flyweight. He will land a steady barrage of strikes throughout this fight while Costa is instead looking for his one big shot to connect. Costa has an advantage grappling over Borjas but he is not always inclined to engage opponents there. I think Costa will fight in the pocket with Borjas and get touched up in doing so. He will want to land muay thai attacks and heavy low kicks against a boxer. He is the more explosive athlete but I have questions about overall skills and durability. Costa has been knocked out two times before. Kevin Borjas by Round Three KO
- Nick: Alessandro Costa is relatively well rounded with four of his thirteen professional wins coming via KO and six coming via submission. He’s extremely aggressive no matter where his fights go, but that sometimes comes at the expense of his defense. Kevin Borjas is 9-2 professionally, with eight wins coming via KO and one coming via decision. At 25-years-old he continues to show considerable improvements every time we see him fight. He’s primarily a striker, but he has solid takedown defense and generally does a good job working back to his feet if he’s taken down. This should be a very fun and competitive match-up to open the card. Costa is going to have a power advantage on the feet here, but Borjas is the superior technical striker. Costa is the better grappler, but if he can’t keep Borjas grounded it’s likely to deplete his gas tank. This is one of the tougher fights on the card to call, I slightly prefer Borjas as the underdog. Kevin Borjas by Decision
Ismael Bonfim -550 vs Vinc Pichel +400
- Anthony: This is a lightweight matchup between Vinc Pichel and Ismael Bonfim. Originally this bout was scheduled for last fall in Sao Paulo but Pichel did not agree to fight after Bonfim missed weight. All was good on the scales this Friday so the bout today will be official. Bonfim is the rightful favorite here but I find it hard to justify taking him at a -550. There should be a decisive grappling advantage for Bonfim but I do not feel certain he will quickly submit Pichel. The veteran is still a tough out at 41 and very deceptive when striking. Pichel is slower and less explosive than Bonfim but able to land knees and punches just as effectively. I think a high pace from Pichel will tire Bonfim and make this a rather chaotic back and forth. Live bettors should look to have some action on Pichel if he can survive the first five minutes here. I think he is worth the dart throw at +400 odds. Vinc Pichel by Decision
- Nick: Ismael Bonfim is 19-4 professionally, coming off an ugly submission loss to Benoit Saint-Denis. Bonfim came out aggressive in that match-up, but Saint-Denis wore the damage well and quickly turned things around and then took out Bonfim with heavy body kicks and an eventual rear naked choke. Bonfim is a dangerous and explosive striker that does a good job feinting to lead his opponents into power shots. He has solid BJJ and he’s competent in scrambles, but his hyper aggressive style does occasionally leave him there to be countered. Vince Pichel is a well-rounded veteran, who strikes well at range. He’s a decent grappler offensively, but he tends to struggle against wrestlers. Pichel is getting up there in age, but he only fights once a year. This means he isn’t as damaged as some of the other fighters at his age. That being said, he’s been out of action for over a year. At 41-years old he’s going to slow down even if he’s still generally durable. Pichel will have the better cardio and durability in this match-up, but I’m not confident he can weather Bonfim’s early aggressive attack. Bonfim has a very clear path to victory if he looks to grapple here, and I fully expect he will. Ismael Bonfim by Round One Submission
Dione Barbosa -250 vs Ernesta Kareckaite +195
- Anthony: This is a women’s flyweight fight with Dione Barbosa and Ernesta Kareckaite. It is a classic matchup between striker and grappler. Kareckaite is a good kickboxer with a very high offensive output. She is rather inexperienced as a professional but remains undefeated in the cage. It is imperative that she keeps this fight standing and lands strikes on Barbosa. Kareckaite benefits from a five-inch reach advantage over her. Barbosa will want to get this fight quickly to the mat where she can utilize her jiu jitsu and grappling. Barbosa is a late convert to mixed martial arts after being a standout judoka. It should be rather easy for Barbosa to drag Kareckaite down to the mat and find herself a victory. Dione Barbosa by Round One Submission
- Nick: Dione Barbosa will be making her UFC debut here, coming off a win via submission over Rainn Guerrero on Contender Series. She is 31 years old and 6-1 professionally. She is primarily a grappler, with three of her six professional wins coming via submission. She looks to grapple in most of her fights. Ernesta Kareckaite will also be making her UFC debut in this match-up, coming off a decision win on Contender Series over Carli Judice. She is 5-0-1 professionally and just 25 years-old. Kareckaite is primarily a striker. She works well at range and she has a solid understanding of footwork. This is very much a binary match-up, but Barbosa is the rightful favorite. She’s going to be outclassed on the feet here but I expect she can close the distance and then take Kareckaite down repeatedly until she scores a submission. Dione Barbosa by Round One Submission
Mauricio Ruffy -220 vs Jamie Mullarkey +180
- Anthony: Next is a lightweight bout with Mauricio Ruffy facing Jamie Mullarkey. These are two brawlers that tend to get after it and put on exciting performances. Ruffy is a very dangerous striker with exceptional boxing. He has serious power for a lightweight and Mullarkey cannot take very many clean shots from the Brazilian. Mullarkey has suffered two knockout losses in the past calendar year. I rate his overall skill set higher than that of Ruffy but I fear Mullarkey is the less durable fighter and likely to come up short today. Mullarkey absorbs 4.49 significant strikes per minute, a recipe for disaster in this matchup. I expect Mullarkey to get knocked down as he moves forward closing the distance. Ruffy will find a home for his big shots early on in this bout. I will be betting him by knockout rather than straight at -220. Mauricio Ruffy by Round One KO
- Nick: Mauricio Ruffy will be making his UFC debut here, coming off an impressive Contender Series win via ground and pound over Raimond Magomedaliev. Ruffy is 9-1 professionally, with all nine of those wins coming via KO. Primarily a striker, Ruffy is an explosive athlete who has shown considerable power on the feet. He has tremendous power for the division, but he’s still somewhat unproven against top level competition. Jamie Mullarkey is a well-rounded brawler, who has consistently shown both his toughness and durability. He is more than willing to eat punches to throw them in striking exchanges. While he does leave openings to be countered at times, there is no denying the fact he’s dangerous everywhere. His chin does seem to be weakening a bit over his last few fights, which is likely to spell trouble for him in this matchup. I expect Ruffy to mostly keep this fight standing until he finds another knockout. Mauricio Ruffy by Round One KO
Preliminary Card- Starts 8:00pm EST
Drakkar Klose -185 vs Joaquim Silva +150
- Anthony: The preliminary card begins with lightweights Drakkar Klose and Joaquim Silva. Since returning to action two years ago, Klose has looked excellent winning three straight fights. He is more skilled than Silva everywhere and especially in terms of his technical striking. Klose has good defensive awareness and better technique than most of the brawlers he fights. Silva is going to be much slower than Klose and less likely to land any strikes of significance. He is starting to look a bit long in the tooth. Klose will also have no problem fighting Silva if he finds himself inside of his guard. Silva is comfortable fighting off of his back and Klose will take advantage here if that is the game he elects to play. Klose has excellent posture when grappling and I do not fear him getting caught in any of Silva’s submission attempts. This should be a clean victory for Klose against an opponent that never really was on his skill level. He is one of my more confident picks on today’s card. Drakkar Klose by Decision
- Nick: Klose has a solid wrestling base, but he is known as a powerful and athletic striker that pushes a serious pace. He’s found success against a quality level of competition, with notable Wins over Bobby Green, Lando Vannata, and Mark Diakiese. Klose is well rounded with decent defensive grappling ability in scrambles. He’s shown quality technique no matter where his fights go, but he is overaggressive at times which can make him vulnerable against less-skilled opponents. Klose has an excellent calf kick and he does a good job grinding his opponents up against the cage. His boxing continues to show considerable improvements, and his power and durability have both shown to be strengths in his overall game. Joaquim Silva is a BJJ black belt, but he doesn’t really have the wrestling or takedown entries required to get the fight to the mat against stronger opponents. He’s a flashy striker, but he usually only carries his power in the earlier rounds. He is 13-4 professionally, coming off a hard fought decision win over an aging Clay Guida. Silva will be dangerous early here, but Klose should be the better technical fighter no matter where this one goes. This will be competitive early, but I expect Klose’s advantages to show as this fight progresses. Drakkar Klose by Round Two KO
Myktybek Orolbai -260 vs Elves Brenner +200
- Anthony: Next is a matchup at lightweight between Elves Brenner and Myktybek Orolbai. This fight should produce fireworks with these aggressive athletes ready to scrap. Both men are big for the division and now rehydrated after rather grueling cuts to 155 pounds. Orolbai had a very dominant UFC debut, beating Uros Medic by submission last year. The Kyrgyzstani has all the makings of a contender with great grappling and confidence in his striking to boot. I think while Orolbai may be the rightful favorite it is hard to justify him getting so much action here this week. Orolbai’s resume is rather thin apart from his most recent cage appearances. Brenner has fought the much tougher competition and put forth a more consistent product from fight to fight. Brenner is going to be fine no matter where this fight goes and even content to try and grapple with Orolbai. I like the staying power of Brenner and I really like his ability to throw in combination late. I think this will be a very close scrap and for that reason I will have my money on the underdog. Brenner should win more minutes here standing and take over as we see rounds two and three. Elves Brenner by Decision
- Nick: Oralbai is 12-1-1 professionally, most recently securing a win in his UFC debut over a tough out in Uros Medic. Orolbai is relatively well-rounded with six wins coming via KO and four coming via submission. He’s made considerable improvements over his last few fights, primarily in his striking ability. While well-rounded, he is primarily a grappler. He pursues takedowns with relentless pressure and once he grounds his opponents he is very heavy on top for a fighter with his frame. Elves Brenner is an aggressive striker who does well backing his opponents up against the cage. He has solid durability and cardio, but he sometimes leaves himself open to be countered as he seems to lack defense in exchanges. Brenner’s style makes him a volatile fighter to back, but he’s also a potent finisher. He’s on a five fight win streak under the UFC banner and continues to improve fight-to-fight at just 26-years old. The line feels wide here as Brenner is skilled everywhere. Still, I see Orolbai as the rightful favorite. He should be able to score plenty of takedowns across fifteen minutes and he should be able to score damage as he finds himself in favorable positions. Myktybek Orolbai by Decision
Iasmin Lucindo -400 vs Karolina Kowalkiewicz +300
- Anthony: This is a fight at women’s strawweight between Iasmin Lucindo and Karolina Kowalkiewicz. The 22-year-old Lucindo has captivated many fans in Brazil, already winning in the UFC at such a young age. She is a rather talented grappler proven capable of finishing fights on the mat. Kowalkiewicz enters this bout on an impressive streak of four straight wins. She is sixteen years older than Lucindo but still fighting hard and finding her way to victory. Kowalkiewicz will need to keep this fight standing to have any chance at winning today. Lucindo seems a bit green on the feet while Kowalkiewicz is very skilled with her kickboxing. Lucindo should be able to secure early takedowns if Kowalkiewicz is not careful when moving forward. Kowalkiewicz is going to be live at +300 if this does end up being a closer decision. Lucindo will hope to find a submission or control Karolina by grappling in all three rounds. Iasmin Lucindo by Decision
- Nick: Iasmin Lucindo is a well-rounded prospect with a high-volume striking style, solid cardio, and excellent durability. Lucindo can be a dangerous submission grappler if this fight hits the mat, but she doesn’t really have the wrestling ability to take the fight there consistently. It seems much more likely that she’ll do what she can to keep this fight standing, where she’ll have a dramatic athleticism and power advantage here against an aging vet in Karolina Kowalkiewicz. Kowalkiewicz is sharp on the feet. She pushes a serious pace and does a good job stringing together effective combinations. Kowalkiewicz lands more than five significant strikes per minute, but she tends to take a lot of damage in exchanges. She has shown improvements in her grappling abilities over the years, but she’ll be outclassed significantly on the mat in this match-up. The line feels wide here, but Lucindo is 16 years younger than Kowalkiewicz so the physical gaps here should be considerable. I expect Lucindo to have success everywhere in this one. Iasmin Lucindo by Decision
Joanderson Brito -185 vs Jack Shore +150
- Anthony: The featured prelim is a matchup at featherweight between Joanderson Brito and Jack Shore. This is a volatile piece of matchmaking and I advise not putting money on either one of these guys. Shore will be undersized here facing Brito but he does have a significant advantage here electing to wrestle. Brito has just 52 percent takedown defense and seems to struggle to fight back to his feet once taken down. Shore should be able to secure takedowns here and land more than half his attempts against the Brazilian. Brito was successful finding a choke from bottom position in his last fight, but I find it unlikely that we see lightning striking twice. Brito will need to keep this fight standing to win, landing powerful attacks on Shore and burning him up with his muay thai. I am nervous about Shore getting put out by Brito early but the later that this fight goes the more I favor the Welshman. Jack Shore by Decision
- Nick: Joanderson Brito is known to be extremely aggressive early in fights. He throws explosive strikes, he has powerful takedown entries, and dangerous BJJ as well. His hyper-aggressive style allows him to overwhelm many of his opponents, but it does make him tough to rely on if he can’t secure an early finish. He’s coming off an impressive comeback win over a tough out in Jonathan Pearce. Jack Shore is primarily a grappler and he comes into this match-up with a solid 17-1 professional record. He has a solid wrestling base with an excellent gas tank and he continues to show considerable improvements in his striking. Shore is content to stand and trade, but his chain wrestling is what has led him to most of his wins professionally. I expect Shore to score takedowns here, but I’m not confident in his ability to damage Brito when he’s grounded. This fight likely plays out closer than the line suggests, but I see Brito having the bigger moments and potentially finishing Shore late. Joanderson Brito by Round Three Submission
Main Card- Starts 10:00pm EST
Caio Borralho -625 vs Paul Craig +450
- Anthony: The main card opens with a middleweight contest between Paul Craig and Caio Borralho. It is usually easy to handicap Craig’s fights as he is extremely reliant on the submission. Craig is a jiu jitsu specialist with thirteen professional wins coming by way of submission. Opponents can get into trouble engaging at all with Craig but I think Borralho knows better than to test his grappling against that of the Bearjew. Borralho’s gym is known as the Fighting Nerds. He is a student of the game and a very aware fighter when the cage door locks. Borralho has a clear advantage over Craig when it comes to his kickboxing skills. He should be able to hurt Craig standing over the course of this fight. Borralho seems like an easy pick here, fighting close to home in São Paulo. He is currently on a fourteen fight winning streak and 5-0 in the UFC. I think he will stay out of damage early and eventually unload on Craig. Caio Borralho by Round One KO
- Nick: Caio Borralho is light on his feet and does a good job peppering his opponents at range. His striking has been impressive in his short UFC tenure, but he’s found most of his success via grappling and advancing on the mat for submissions. He does a good job scoring takedowns both in open space and against the cage. He has solid cardio and durability, and his fighting IQ has proven to be a major strength for him since he made his promotional debut. He’s coming off impressive wins over Michał Oleksiejczuk and Abus Magomedov, and he carries a lot of momentum into this match-up here in front of his home crowd. Paul Craig has outstanding BJJ, with thirteen of his seventeen professional wins coming via submission. He’s coming off an ugly loss in his middleweight debut to Brendan Allen, and he’s in a similar match-up here against a well-rounded opponent in Borralho. Craig is always live for an upset via submission, but Borralho is defensively sound on the mat and the far better striker. I expect Borralho to mostly keep this fight standing where he should outclass Craig significantly. Caio Borralho by Decision
Michel Pereira -625 vs Ihor Potieria +450
- Anthony: Next is an exciting matchup at middleweight between Ihor Potieria and Michel Pereira. Pereira has now won seven straight fights and really shown tremendous improvements. He has reeled in a rather reckless style and now fights with much more measured aggression. While I consider him more skilled than Potieria everywhere, the biggest advantage Pereira holds today is in his offensive grappling. Pereira is always quick to jump on choke attempts and secure dominant positions over his opponents. Potieria has defended 57 percent of opponent takedowns since joining the UFC. The Ukranian can present challenges to Pereira here standing but it will be a washout if Pereira elects to grapple. The crowd will be in full support of Pereira carrying the Brazilian flag into battle tonight. Potieria beat Shogun Rua here at Jeunesse Arena when the promotion was in Rio last year. Expect an inspired performance from Demolidor and yet another win by first round finish. Michel Pereira by Round One Submission
- Nick: Michel Pereira is like a video game character in the way he flips around the ring. He’s one of the most entertaining fighters to watch, but his Fight IQ is always in question. He likes to throw ridiculous looking spinning kicks and he’s been known to backflip onto his opponents for pretty much no reason. This can put an unnecessary dent in his gas tank, but he does have strong striking ability and he has shown a solid chin against decent competition. He is now on an impressive seven-fight win streak, and it seems he’s growing more intelligent in the cage from fight to fight. He’s pulled back on the wild antics in favor of a more conservative approach, and as a result he’s as dangerous as he’s ever been. Potieria is primarily a brawler with dangerous offensive striking ability. He is 21-5 professionally, but he really hasn’t been tested extensively at this level. He is explosive in open space and striking out of breaks, but he seems far from refined in terms of his footwork and head movement. His kill or be-killed style makes him dangerous as an underdog, but his technical abilities are far from refined. Potieria will be dangerous early here, but I expect Pereira to stay safe until he outclasses him as he starts to fade. Michel Pereira by Round Two Submission
Vitor Petrino -550 vs Anthony Smith +400
- Anthony: The featured bout comes at light heavyweight with Vitor Petrino facing Anthony Smith. The undefeated Petrino is 4-0 in the UFC and certainly has the tools to keep on winning. While Petrino is not the most sophisticated striker, he is effective at closing the distance and landing big hooks to his targets. Petrino is comfortable in clinch positions and stronger than a lot of the guys he has faced. The recent wins for Petrino are not of very high quality but Anthony Smith is becoming an easier out here at the latter stages of his career. I do not think Petrino should be such a heavy favorite but I find it hard to imagine a way that Smith wins this fight. Smith has some good submissions to his credit but I doubt he gets the chance to display his grappling here. Petrino is a good grappler and dominant in top position. Smith will land some good jabs while these two are standing but he won’t be able to match Petrino’s power punch for punch. Eventually I think a shot will hurt Smith and cause this fight to be stopped. Vitor Petrino by Round Two KO
- Nick: Vitor Petrino is somewhat untested against elite level competition, but there’s no denying his overall athleticism or his power in striking exchanges. Seven of Petrino’s eleven professional wins have come via KO. He’s almost always aggressive early in fights. His cardio was a weakness for him earlier in his career, but he has shown major improvements in that facet of his game. He is 4-0 in the UFC coming off a dominant decision win over Tyson Pedro. Anthony Smith has shown outstanding cardio, and even in his recent losses he has shown quality durability. Even when he’s getting crushed, he is difficult or impossible to put away. He is certainly in the twilight of his career at 35-years old and he is coming off a KO loss to Khalil Rountree, but he’s still one of the more technically sound fighters in the division and a tough out for up-and-comers. This fight should play out far more competitively than the line suggests here, but I do see Petrino as the rightful favorite. He should have enough of an athleticism advantage to lead most striking advantages here, and he can lean on his grappling if he needs to. Vitor Petrino by Round Three KO
Jonathan Martinez -145 vs Jose Aldo +120
- Anthony: The co-main event comes at bantamweight with Jonathan Martinez facing Jose Aldo Junior. It has been two years since Aldo last fought in the UFC after what was a brief retirement from the sport. It seems that Aldo is appearing here tonight to fulfill the last fight on his promotional contract. Aldo will be free to pursue boxing in any promotion he choses after leaving the octagon tonight. Since his loss to Merab Dvalishvili, Aldo has stayed active going 2-0-1 boxing. He still has great reaction time and good speed on his attacks and counters. Aldo will need to find his early timing here to beat a very dangerous opponent like Martinez. The American has won six straight fights with two of those stoppages coming by way of leg kicks. Martinez is similar to Aldo in his affinity for the low kick and effective use of his kicks as an offensive weapon. It is a difficult matchup for Martinez stylistically as his aggression will play to a detriment against someone as experienced as Aldo. I fear if Martinez fights in his normal style he will eat too many checks and counters from Jose. This fight is very volatile from a betting perspective but I have my money on the King of Rio here one last time. Jose Aldo by Decision
- Nick: Jose Aldo is currently fighting at bantamweight, but he’s one of the greatest featherweights of all time. A former champion, Aldo is 31-8 professionally and he’s expected to retire from MMA after his final fight here in front of his home crowd. Aldo is one of the more dangerous and pure strikers in the division. He throws powerful leg kicks, a snappy jab, and he does an excellent job stringing together lengthy combinations. He’s likely to have a grappling advantage in this match-up, but it’s rare we see him lean on that part of his game. Jonathan Martinez is fairly well rounded, but mostly excels on the feet. He’s a traditional boxer with solid head movement and footwork. He throws meaningful strikes and he does an excellent job mixing up his combinations to keep his opponents guessing. He is excellent at striking heavily out of breaks and he’s shown sneaky power in spite of his wiry frame. His greatest weapon are his powerful leg kicks, which have become his signature over his last few fights. Martinez enters this fight on a six fight win streak, with notable wins over Adrian Yanez, Said Nurmagomedov and Cub Swanson. This is one of the tougher fights on the card to call as both of these guys are outstanding strikers. Martinez’s best weapon is his leg kick, but Aldo checks and defends leg kicks as well as anyone in the history of the promotion. I expect a competitive fight that hits the scorecards here. I’ll back Aldo as an underdog in front of his home crowd. Jose Aldo by Decision
Alexandre Pantoja -185 vs Steve Erceg +150
- Anthony: The main event is a fight between Steve Erceg and the flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja. I think Pantoja proved in two title fights last year just how well rounded and dangerous a champion he is. Pantoja is the best flyweight in the promotion, blending great jiu jitsu with a dogged style of combat on the feet. Erceg is an exceptional boxer with better hands and crisper combos than Pantoja. However, Pantoja has great control of distance and uses his long range weapons to great effect. He does not struggle eating shots in this weight class and coming forward with consistent offense of his own. I think Erceg will be deterred quite a bit as Pantoja weathers his early offerings on the feet. Pantoja also has a huge advantage here grappling if he does elect to pursue takedowns in this fight. I think Erceg will eventually find himself in positions under Pantoja where the champion makes his strength and grappling dominance felt. Erceg is a live challenger for sure but I feel very confident backing Pantoja here. This should be a substantial title defense for the Brazilian who gets to lift the title here at home. He is a great bet at -185. And Still. Alexandre Pantoja by Round Three Submission
- Nick: Alexandre Pantoja is elite pretty much everywhere. He’s outstanding on the ground and his striking is crisp and explosive. He’s on a five-fight winning streak, most recently defending his title against a dangerous opponent in Brandon Royval. In that win over Royval and in his title-capturing performance over Brandon Moreno, we saw Pantoja lean on his wrestling to win minutes. Steve Erceg is 12-1 professionally, with six of those wins coming via submission. Erceg comes in on an eleven-fight win streak, coming off a highlight reel KO of Matt Schnell back in March. Erceg’s striking continues to improve, and while he doesn’t carry much power, he’s technically sound everywhere and capable of putting out a lot of volume. He certainly prefers to grapple, but he’s shown a well-rounded game and his cardio and durability have proven to be strengths at this level. Simply put, Pantoja is the more well-rounded and also the more technically sound fighter in this match-up. He has found success against a much higher level of competition and while Erceg can be dangerous, it feels like he finds himself in a title fight a bit sooner than he should be. And Still. Alexandre Pantoja by Round Three Submission
