UFC Fight Night 216: Bryan Barberena vs Rafael Dos Anjos preview and prediction
American Bryan Barberena will face Rafael Dos Anjos before the main event of the evening. Barberena comes into the fight on the back of a three-fight win streak and defeated Robbie Lawler in his last fight. Therefore, his confidence will be sky high.
Rafael Dos Anjos will look to make a statement after losing his last fight against Rafael Fiziev. While Dos Anjos has more experience in the octagon, he is approaching the twilight of his career. Therefore, this bout will be of a lot of significance.
We predict Barberena to continue his winning streak with a round 3 TKO. Dos Anjos may use his grappling skills to get the submission. However, we feel Barberena’s power and skill will be enough to beat the veteran.
UFC Fight Night: Stephen Thompson vs Kevin Holland: Main card preview and predictions of UFC Orlando
UFC Orlando: Matheus Nicolau vs Matt Schnell preview and prediction
The Flyweight division will witness an exciting fight between Matheus Nicolau and Matt Schnell. Nicolau comes into the fight on the back of a three-fight win streak, while Schnell will enter the octagon after an impressive submission win in his last fight.
Both fighters match very evenly in terms of their physical attributes and have very similar fighting styles. Nicolau and Schnell are comfortable on their feet and on the ground. Therefore, fans can expect a very close contest.
However, we believe Matheus Nicolau will beat Schnell by decision. After dominating the American for three rounds, the Brazilian will win via a unanimous decision.
UFC Fight Night prediction: Tai Tuivasa vs Sergei Pavlovich
The UFC Fight Night card also features an exciting heavyweight clash between two juggernauts. Australian Tai Tuivasa returns to the ring after a minor setback to his title challenge, while Pavlovich comes into the octagon on the back of an impressive win in his last fight.
Tuivasa and Pavlovich are both knockout specialists with 93% and 81% knockout rates, respectively. Therefore, it is unlikely that this fight goes the distance. Moreover, if you know Tuivasa, you know this fight is going to be high intensity from the first minute.
Despite it being a close contest, we predict Tai Tuivasa to beat Pavlovich. The Australian will weather the onslaught from the Russian and then knock him out in the 2nd round. However, it could easily be the other way around.
UFC Fight Night prediction: Jack Hermansson vs Roman Dolidze preview and prediction
Another great fight on the card will see Swedish fighter Jack Hermansson take on Roman Dolidze. Hermansson has had mixed luck over his last few fights with three wins in six fights. Dolidze, on the other hand, comes into the contest on the back of three wins.
While Dolidze is on a winning streak, we are still picking Hermansson to get the win. The Swede has faced better-quality of opponents in his last few fights and we think that could be crucial in this bout.
We predict Hermansson beats Roman Dolidze by submission in the second round.
UFC Fight Night prediction: Eryk Anders vs Kyle Daukaus
The main card will begin with an intriguing contest between two American middleweights, Eryk Anders and Kyle Daukaus. Both fighters are coming off losses in their previous fights and will be eager to make a winning return to the octagon.
Therefore, fans can expect a fun fight to begin the card. Both fighters have very different styles. Anders is a striker, while Daukaus is predominantly a grappler.
Thus, we predict Daukaus to beat Anders via submission. With an 82% submission win rate, it is difficult to overlook Daukaus’ skill on the ground. Therefore, we predict a third-round submission for Daukaus.
