What it do? Bedtime crew. Hey man,
listen. Today I am finally here with my
full card predictions for the
generational pay-per-view happening this
weekend. You know, they're bringing out
all the big guns. They got Yuri Brahaska
versus Carlosberg in the main event.
They've got Bedtime MMA on the
countdown. We've got Azat Mosakanov.
We've got Curtis Blades, friend of the
channel. We got Paulo Costa, Dominic
Reyes, Johnny Walker, Cub Swanson, Esban
Reebic, man, Kevin Holland, Patriceio
Pitbull, Aaron Picto. This might be the
first ever card in bedtime MMA history
where I actually don't feel good saying,
"And the rest are no buddies." All
right, man. This is a great card. Let's
get into this. Starting off on the early
prelims, the first fight of the night is
going to be Charles Radkkey versus
Francisco Prao. I'm going to be going
with Charles Radkkey to get this one
done by decision. I feel like Radkkey
only really loses to quick powerful like
big 170ers. Carlos Pratess, Mike Malot,
the past two guys to beat him.
Otherwise, he's actually KO'ed a lot of
guys in the UFC. Um, and I think that in
this matchup he'll be a little bit too
big and long pause for Francisco Praau
who, you know, honestly look at the
reach disadvantage between them. Even
though Praau is like a little bit
taller, he's kind of this stocky little
155 block head. And I think that Radkkey
will be able to keep him on the outside
of his jab. Uh you know, Praau does box
quite well in the pocket, but against
170 pounders, he doesn't really show the
same power that he did at 155. And
Radkkey trains with a really good team,
Valley Flow Striking. He's out there
with Yay Rodri. Bro, bro, bro, he's out
here with Gold Bal Muhammad. You know,
bro, Prao, this guy sucks, you know.
He's literally a Minecraft character,
bro. He's a bum. So he he's training
with the goat Balah Muhammad. He's
training with the goat Brendan Allen. I
think that he's going to be, you know,
at a little bit of a power advantage, a
reach advantage. And I think that he's
going to be able to use cough kicks,
keep the jab going, and avoid getting in
the pocket with Pra. And if they do get
in the pro the pocket, I do think that
Praau will probably eat that left hook
that Radkkey lands really well. I'm
going to go with Charles Radkkey to win
this one by decision. All right, man.
Next fight of the night. Oh my god, man.
This is This is like if they matched up
Paul George on the 76ers before he got
good again and [ __ ] Kevin Garnett on
the Nets. This is actually a crazy
[ __ ] on matchup. Uh I'm going to go
with Kelvin Gassam though, bro. Like the
downfall of these dudes is genuinely
insane. But I am going to pick Kelvin
Gassam. I feel like he's the bigger guy.
I know he's the bigger guy. He's the way
bigger guy. Um but he also does have a
really good chin. All jokes aside, very
good chin, fast hands. Even though he's
a blob, he's pretty quick and light on
his feet. He's a good grappler. He can
scramble very well. And I just feel like
even if Vicente Lu is doing good, like
Luk obviously has a big reach advantage.
He's a better striker technically. Uh I
feel like Luk will be doing good with
calf kicks and head kicks and, you know,
popping his jab. Uh I I just know that
KG will find the straight left down the
middle, find the one two because he's
super fast with it. But also because
Luke has literally zero head movement.
We've seen the goat Vicente Luke get
tagged up by B by Brian Barbarina and a
bunch of other guys and he toughed it
out, but we've seen the chin kind of
deteriorate for Luk since the Jeff Neil
fight. And I I just don't like how he
looked in his last couple of fights. I
feel like Kelvin Gasson's going to be
quicker. I feel like he's going to hit a
little bit harder. He definitely has a
better chin. So, if they get in an
exchange, I'm going to be a lot more
worried for Vicente Luk. And I know Luke
has good jiu-jitsu, but he's not
necessarily the type of fighter that I
could see knocking down KG or taking
down KG the way that a Joe Pyer could or
somebody, you know, Robert Whitaker
could wrestle him and take him down a
little bit, you know. Um, that's usually
Kelvin Gaston's game is mixing in the
wrestling. So, I I feel like he can keep
this standing and avoid that Dar or that
Anaconda if you rush trying to wrestle
Luke. And I just feel like Gastam, one
thing I'll say for him as well, if you
if you look on Instagram, he's actually
in shape and he's actually moved camps.
He's gone away from Henry Cejudo. He's
gone away from the taco trucks in
Arizona. He's away from the tortas. He's
locked the [ __ ] in. So I think we get a
more skinny focused KG being a little
bit too fast, too powerful for Luk.
maybe rocking him a couple of time on
the feet, mixing in some takedowns
smartly once Lu gets rocked, controlling
him from top position, winning a
decision. I could see Luk winning
around. I think this is going to be like
a 2928, maybe 13 27 for Gastam. You
know, maybe Luke throws up a sub in a
scramble uh and wins around or he lands
some calf kick, some straight punches.
He's a little bit, you know, longer than
than Gastam and G KG has to kind of work
his way in and find those punches. But
all in all, I think KG is going to be
quicker on the feet, better chin, can
mix up the wrestling if he needs to.
Luka can't really do the same if he's
getting out struck, and Kelvin Gassam is
way more durable than Vicente Luk. So,
I'm going to pick him to win this fight,
and he's the bigger guy. So, I'm going
to pick Luke uh to lose that fight. I'm
going to pick KG. All right, man.
Headlining the early prelims. This is a
[ __ ] banger. This is such an
underrated fight on this card that even
when I was going through typology, going
through UFC, making my predictions for
this, I kind of overlooked this. But
then when I watched the tape, I started
to get excited for this. We got Chris
Padilla versus Markel Maderios. And I'm
going to put some respect on Marl
Maderio's name, dude. He actually looked
really good in his last fight against
Mark Chowinsky. And I just know Rogan is
going to be going absolutely [ __ ]
insane during this fight. Both these
guys love to chop the calf. Both of
these guys move around on the outside
really well, switch stances, land those
kicks, you know, can scramble, get back
up to their feet. They mix in the
clinch. I'm going to go with Chris
Padilla to win this one by decision. I
think he's a little bit more
experienced, a little bit higher IQ, and
just a little bit more crafty. I feel
like he can mix things up with the
clinch, maybe some takedowns, but he can
mix in those elbows and knees in close,
utilize that clinch and slow down some
of the speed and the movement of Marel
Maderos. Um because a big weapon that
Maderos uses in all of his fights to get
going, which is those calf kicks, as I
said, won't really be there with Padilla
because Padilla is a very tight tie
style fighter. Really light on that
front foot, able to check those kicks
pretty easily. So, I can see Padilla
checking a lot of those kicks, popping
the jab, getting a hold of Maderos,
mixing in some elbows, knees to the
body, you know, as Maderos tries to, you
know, move around on the outside and
then come in with combos. Padilla just
throws up elbows, mixes him up in the
clinch. And I also think that while
Marco Maderos like he does have good
defensive grappling, he got taken down
by Mark Chowinsky a couple of times, got
his back taken, but avoided the
submissions. He is there to be kind of
held against the fence, controlled
against the fence, taken down really
quickly and then get back up. And I
think Chris Padilla is a little bit more
well-rounded because he's more
experienced, because he's a bit older
and a little bit more crafty. I think
Chris Padilla is going to fight behind
his jab. I think he's going to check a
lot of Marco Maderas's kicks and not let
him get going with those early. I think
if they clinch, Chris Padilla is going
to have a big advantage there because of
his style. And I do think he's going to
win this fight by decision. I can see
him landing a big elbow that causes a
cut, maybe changing the course of the
fight. Uh, but it should be like a 2928
for Chris Padilla in my opinion. Both
these guys are [ __ ] sick though.
They're sick, dude. All right, man.
Let's move on. Next fight on the
prelims, we've got Tatiana Suarez,
former [ __ ] title challenger. See you
on the prelims, kid. Versus Lupy Godz.
Now, I did a lot of research for this
card, but if you think I'm going to sit
here and do give a 20 minute breakdown
of [ __ ] Tatiana Suarez versus Lupy
Godz,
you got another thing coming, brother.
All right, I'm picking Tatiana Suarez by
decision. I'm I'm going to ignore the
fact that her main training partner is
[ __ ] Patchy Mix, okay? She has a big
grappling and size advantage in this
fight. She's learned a lot of lessons
from the Jeang Lee fight. That's the
only one she lost. There's no shame in
losing to Jane Lee at women's
strawweight. And other than that, she
just takes people down and blobs them.
And we've seen Godz kind of struggle to
impose her forward pressure and her
grappling on people like McKenzie Durn
and Vina Jenjid Dobba. And I would put
Suarez right up there with those two. I
think Suarez beats both of those two.
So, I'm going to put Tatiana Suarez by
decision here. 3027. I'm not going to
overthink this. I think it's like a more
competitive version of the Tabitha Richi
Vinage Angeloba type thing. I think
Suarez will just be able to take her
down, hold her down, win a boring
decision, and probably get a title shot.
Let's be [ __ ] real, dude. All right,
moving on. This is one I'm excited to
talk about. We've got Matteos Gamer
Gameamrot versus Estabban Reebic. Now, I
love Estabban Ribo, dude. I've been
glazing this dude for a while. I've been
bringing up these bangers that he's been
having in the Apex. I love the style
that he brings. Okay, but in my opinion,
this is too much, too soon. And I think
Gameamrot wins this fight by decision. I
love Riovich's style. He brings forward
pressure, high volume combinations, rips
to the body, and then he'll find a big
shot up top. And he pushes people back
with straight punches really well. And
it can set up that head kick that we saw
in Terence McKini when he golden
freddied him. And he was trying to do it
a couple times against Elves Brener as
well. But in my opinion, Matteas Gamro
is one of the most underrated dudes in
the entire UFC. Not just in the
grappling, not just the wrestling that
he brings, and we'll talk about that,
but even on the feet, I think he wins
this fight. And I honestly don't even
think he necessarily needs to get like
10 [snorts] minutes of control time to
win this. I think he can actually box
decently well on the back foot. And I
think he'll mix in the wrestling and
that will slow down the forward pressure
of Estabban Rio. He's extremely hard to
scramble with. I mean, Rio did a good
job against Alves Brener who fought kind
of similarly to to Gameamrot early on.
heavy takedown attempts, ended up on
bottom, scrambled up from that single
leg. Esteban Rubic did a good job
scrambling with him and I I felt like
Elves Brener gave up on that after that
happened. But Matteas Gamro is not going
to give up, dude. He is a cockroach
maxer of the highest order when it comes
to the grappling. And Reebic pressures
very well on the front foot and I do
think he'll land big shots and he'll
push Gameamrot back and if he gets him
up against the cage, he'll land big
shots and and I'm sure at some point he
will drop Gameamrot. But one thing about
Riovich, he doesn't really pressure with
faints. He doesn't pop a little jab and
step forward. He kind of just moves in
moving his head and he leaves himself
open to be picked at at range with
kicks, jabs, straight punches. And I can
honestly see Gamerock utilizing the
[ __ ] AT special, bro. Calf kicks,
jabs, landing the right hand. I honestly
think he'll do better on the feet than
most people expect and then mix in
takedown attempts wherever wherever he
can to, you know, waste some clock or
avoid a big shot from Reevich or just to
slow him down. Even just changing levels
and coming back up top with punches. I
think he'll he'll slow some of the
momentum and the combination punching of
Estabban Riovic. Uh Riovich will, like I
said, he'll have success when he backs
up Gamerock to the fence and when he
lets go with combinations. We've seen
Gameamrock strugg struggle under kind of
heavy pressure from Dan Hooker and
Charles Olivera. These guys backed him
up and let their hands go and he kind of
crumbled a little bit, but those guys
are bigger and stronger and just more
dangerous than Esther Van Rivovic in my
opinion. Especially Charles Olivera with
the grappling, but also he hits really
hard. Dan Hook is a lot more physically
imposing. He's a bigger, longer guy.
Pors than Estebanovich. He's got that
front kick to the body. He's got the
guillotine. So, I I think in this fight,
Gameamrock will get pushed back. He'll
get clipped once or twice, maybe get
knocked down for a second, but
otherwise, I think he'll fight really
well on the back foot with his boxing,
land some nice shots, avoid some return
fire from Reebic, circle off, mix in the
takedowns, slow down the output of
Estabban Rio, and win a classic 2928
Gamro decision that people think is a
robbery because he got flash knocked
down at one point. I'm going with
Yamrock by 2928 masterclass decision.
All right, dude. Let's move on, bro. We
got Kevin [ __ ] Holland versus Randy
Brown. This is kind of a mirror matchup.
Honestly, when I was watching these guys
fight, I was like, god damn, these dudes
fight so similarly, man. They really are
very similar physically, the the length,
fighting behind the jab, letting the
hands go, slapping, you know, little
flicky calf kicks here and there, then
they'll put a big right hand on you.
This is a really tough one to predict.
This is a very low confidence pick, but
I think I'm gonna pick Kevin Holland. I
feel bad either way picking this fight.
That's another thing these guys have in
common. When I'm certain Randy Brown is
going to do good, he gets [ __ ]
chinned. When I'm certain Kevin
Holland's going to do good, he gets
smudged.
You know what I mean? So, I I think this
will be primarily striking. And I think
that Kevin Holland has a I know Kevin
Holland has a better chin than Randy
Brown. And I think Kevin Holland can
reach him. I I I'm I'm worried. Okay,
I'm worried. I was going to pick Randy
Brown, but Brown is very chinny. He does
fight really well behind long jabs and
those flicky little calf kicks, like I
said, but Holland is not a short little
welterweight. He's as big as Randy Brown
except probably a little bit thicker
considering he's fought at 185. He's
more durable than Randy Brown. I would
say he hits harder. like he has more of
a flash knockdown ability, land that
right hand, put you on on Dream Street.
Randy Brown's chin has always been sus.
And listen, even though we've seen Kevin
Holland get punished recently for being
kind of sloppy on the feet, especially
defensively, he'll just pull back into
the cage if you throw a combo at him. I
just have a Oh my god, I can't pick
either of these guys cuz I I have a hard
time trusting Holland. Like I think that
Holland will get boxed up, but that
he'll find Randy Brown's chin and Randy
Brown will just do the jelly leg dance
that he always does and get finished.
And I could see him falling into a sub
or just getting rocked really badly and
finished. Um because that that Bonfim
knockout was pretty bad. Before that, he
got dropped by Nicholas Dowby a couple
of times and then found that knockdown
in the in the moment. Um but I can't
trust Kevin Holland that much either
because he his last few fights it seems
like he doesn't really care about
winning. But I also just feel like he he
will chin Randy Brown. So I'm not super
confident, but I'll lean towards Kevin
Holland. Randy loves to throw extended
combinations. He can't help but continue
in exchange for as long as he can. And
that does lead to moments where people
find him, especially when he's like
circling out and still throwing his jab
and keeping his lead hand out there.
People can find him. And I can just see
Holland catching a, you know, the top of
his head, landing an uppercut. Boom. He
rocks him bad. leaping into that big
[ __ ] right hand as he's circling off,
rocking Randy Brown, finding a finish,
and then we think he's back. I don't
know. It's a low confidence pick, but
I'm going to go with Kevin Holland by
round two finish. I think he catches
Randy Brown circling after Randy Brown's
kind of piecing him up. Randy Brown
keeps that jab out there too long. Boom.
Right hand, gets rocked and Holland
jumps on a sub, finishes him or just
follows up with ground and pound, puts
Randy Brown out. I'm going to pick Kevin
Holland not super confidently. Okay,
dude. Main event of the prelims. We've
got Patricio Pitbull versus Aaron Pico.
Okay. And if you watch the bingo card
predictions, which you should check out
if you haven't already because we, you
know, we we are the best predictors on
YouTube, I stumbled into a theory. And
you know what? I think I'm actually
going to lean into it. I'm going to pick
Patricio Pitbull. I think I was on to
something in that bingo card video cuz
why the [ __ ] is Aaron Pico actually a
massive favorite in this fight? Is he
really as good as Yaya Rodriguez or
better? Is he really Is he closer to
Yaya Rodriguez than he is to Dan Eay? Is
he actually? I don't think so. What has
Aaron Pico actually done in his [ __ ]
career? These guys both got top five
caliber opponents in their debut except
Pit Bull did not get [ __ ] brutally
slammed out. He got some takedowns. He
got some control. He didn't get knocked
out. He got knocked down in the third
round, but otherwise he was okay, but he
just couldn't get inside the kicks of
Yay Rodriguez, who is elite, who is a
top five level featherweight. Like, I
have my problems with Yay Rodriguez, but
he's he's been a proven top five kind of
featherweight. He doesn't have that many
good wins either, but we know how
skillful he is. He's had close fights
with Vog and Max and, you know, Brian
Ortega, you know what I mean? Like, like
like Yay Rodriguez is good. He's [ __ ]
good and he's dangerous as [ __ ] right?
I would honestly be less surprised if it
was the other way round where Pico had
got decision by Murphy and Pit Bull got
slimed by Yay Rodriguez. But that's not
what happened. Aaron Pico got [ __ ]
slimed by Leon Murphy inside 2 minutes.
Pit Bull was higher level in Bellator.
He has a ranked win in the UFC over Dan
Eay where honestly he avoided every big
shot of Dan Eay. He did a good job of
blocking, rolling with a lot of those
shots, mixed in takedowns very
effectively, landed clean counter shots
and he did enough to win. And I honestly
think he could do the same here. Pico is
so wild. He let he cannot settle into a
fight. He just bulldozes you and you
either crumble cuz you're a fat PFL
[ __ ] random or you [ __ ] chin him
out cold if you're if you're an athletic
PFL random. He's super explosive. I like
the body shots because Pit Bull actually
did a great job of of high guarding and
blocking a lot of shots from Yayer and
Dandy Gay. Um but he does leave the body
open with that. Um, and you know,
Patricia Pipple did a good job avoiding
the big swinging punches to the head
against Dan, and I think he'll do a a
similar job here against Aaron Pico
because I do think Aaron Pico will spaz
out early on. I could see him just
running over Pit Bull, taking him down,
you know, winging big punches. But if he
takes down Pit, Pit Bull's a really good
grappler. I think he'll show he can get
back up. He will he won't get subbed by
Aaron Pico. I'm pretty confident in
that. And I think he'll take an opening
when Pico 110% like tell me you
genuinely think Pico will take down Pit
Bull and just lay on top of him. He will
open up and try and land big bombs. Pit
Bull will be out of there. I honestly
think Pit Bull is going to win this
fight by decision. I think he'll be a
lot more calm and composed. I think
he'll block or avoid a lot of Pico's big
punches on the feet. I think he'll just
land jabs. He'll land straight shots
inside. He'll start to choose calf
kicks. He'll mix in some takedown
attempts. He doesn't even necessarily
need to get them. I can see him getting
to the back body lock and just slowing
down Pico a little bit, making him fight
long. And I think Pit Bull's going to
win a crafty decision here. I could
maybe he colds Pico since that's usually
how he loses, but I can see Pit Bull
just fighting pretty smart and tactical.
He's he's he's been pretty low output in
the UFC. So, I'm going to say Pit Bull
is a little bit more composed on the
feet. He can mix in the grappling. He's
not going to get ragdollled in the
wrestling. I think he will be able to
get back up and throw up submission
attempts, scramble back up to his feet.
He's going to be very short and compact.
I don't think Pico is going to lock up a
random sub on him. I think it is KO or
bust for Pico. I don't I actually think
that he is kind of still overrated. I I
know that he he has all these physical
gifts and these crazy background and
stuff like that, but look at his resume
and look at Pit Bull's resume. I think
Pit Bull actually is more proven. So,
I'm going to pick Patricio Pit Bull by
crafty decision. So, my picks for the
prelims, we've got Pit Bull, we've got
Holland, we've got Gameamrock, we've got
Suarez. I picked A on the exam five
times. We've got Padilla. Oh my [ __ ]
god. We got Gastelum. And we got
Radkkey. I don't like that I picked all
the red corner fighters, but it is what
it is, dude. I'm just I'm I'm feeling
it, dude. I think Randy Brown has a good
chance of beating Kevin Holland.
Obviously, I could see Pico winning, but
I'm I'm going to pick Pit Bull. All
right, dude. Let's move on to the main
card. First fight on the main card. I
love this fight, dude. Cub Swanson
versus Nate Lanware. This is actually
such a sick matchup that deserves to
open up a pay-per-view like this. I
think this is a pretty fair matchup for
Cub Swanson as well. This is his
retirement and I love the knockout that
he got against Billy Quarantillo, but
I'm going to go with Nate Landwear. I
think he's going to cockroach max his
way to a W here. Um, I see this being a
war. I feel like this is going to be a
bloody war back and forth. Swanson
starts out a little bit quicker and
sharper on the feet. One thing about Cub
Swanson, he's going to get that straight
right off, bro. Cob Swanson has like
three moves, dude. He's going to throw
that straight right blitz in, then he's
going to roll and dip under, whip up a
left side head kick. He's going to go
like 32, just a straight up two or a two
and a head kick on the other side. This
is what he does. This is Cub Swanson
heritage, mate. Um, but as he moves and
as he starts to, you know, slip and rip
and fight like he used to, we've seen
that because he's a little bit older, he
will slow down a little bit as the fight
goes on. He does get clipped in those
exchanges with his hands down. He does
get pushed back and I I think that early
on Swanson will do well. I could see him
definitely rocking Nate Lanwware or
knocking him down with that straight
right because Nate Lenwear, one thing
about this guy, he is going to get
chinned in the first round at some
point. Um, but I see Swanson kind of
slowing down, Nate Lamware coming back,
pouring on the pressure, capitalizing on
those exchanges where Swanson kind of
runs into him and they tie up. I can see
Nate Lamware landing knees up the
middle, pushing Swanson back to the
cage, landing combinations, mixing in
takedowns, and I think he's going to
find a TKO in late round two or early
round three. Starts out bad, gets
clipped with that right hand. They're
trading and brawling. They're both
landing big shots. Nate Landwear has the
cardio in the wrestling advantage.
Pushes back Cub Swanson lands some big
shots, lets his hands go against the
cage, mixes in takedowns, finds a TKO in
the late second or early third round. I
think it's going to be a banger though.
I just hope Cub Swanson gets a real
retirement video, bro. Cuz like I said
in my bingo card video, if we're giving
out a [ __ ] 20inut promo to Anthony
Smith and Michael K and we're getting
jelly roll and all these guys to come
in. Thank you Anthony for everything
you've done. Then Cub Swanson, a real
[ __ ] legend of the game, like a real
former, you know, top guy at
featherweight for so long for all the
best guys in the UFC. He deserves that
type of send off and more. So yeah,
shout out Cubs Swanson, but I'm going to
pick Nate Lamew, man. Let's move on.
We've got D and Dominic Reyes. We got
Dominic Reyes versus Johnny Walker,
dude. Okay. I mean, either way,
someone's getting flat flatlined in the
first round. Let's be Let's be real.
This is a genuine cold or get colded
matchup. Someone is getting Golden
Freddied and I'm going to pick Dominic
Reyes to win. I think he's a little bit
more sharp. He's a little bit more
technical in his striking. He's less
likely to do something dumb in an
exchange or make a weird defensive move
and randomly get chinned. Even though
both of them have, you know, have been
chinned a couple times and that that's
why I think this is going to be over
very quick. Walker is tall. He's long
for the division. He's very aggressive.
He fights behind calf kicks really well
and he loves to kick and then punch
right after in between, you know, the
jumping around, the goofy [ __ ] all this
stuff. He also likes to tie up in the
clinch. Uh, but I think he's a little
bit careless and I think he gets overly
aggressive and just backs out randomly.
And I can see him just I I can just see
him playing into the game of Dominic
Reyes, which is counter punching, being
on the back foot, pulling you into a big
shot, whether he steps back as Walker
comes in, lands that right that that
[ __ ] jab and wobbles him or lands
that straight left and chins him. Even
on the break of exchanges from like
clinching or whatever it is, Walker does
get caught a lot and moves his head in
really weird ways. I could see Reyes
just throwing up a left hand or a little
uppercut or a [ __ ] you know, head
kick on the break. He's very accurate
with not much wind up and he finds a way
to hurt people in these moments. So I
think he'll find the KO in the first
round. Even if Walker I can I can see
random little like even if Walker throws
a big headkick and slips and lands on
his ass and Reyes just goes in the guard
and lands like two hammer. I can just
see him randomly putting out Johnny
Walker with hammer fist. So I'm going to
pick Dominic Reyes by KO in the first
round. I think it's chin or be chin for
both of these guys. I'm going to lean
towards Reyes. All right man. featured
fight of the night.
We will be beating Josh Hokit. We will
be gatekeeping the top five. We are
Curtis Blades. I'm picking Curtis
Blades, brother. Don't matter, man. Josh
Hoit, Josh Gad,
who's another Josh, dude. Josh Giddy.
Don't matter. Blades and three. That's
all I got to [ __ ] say, baby. We are
picking Curtis Blades to win this fight.
Um Josh Hook's really good, man. I think
he's a good prospect. He's really
athletic. He's got good pressure. He
chains together takedowns and controls
people from that back body lock. Really
reminds me of Kobe Coington. The way
that he fights, it's not just the
gimmick and the persona. He does really
just spam takedowns, force you to be on
your hands and knees. He's got that back
body lock, kneing the thigh, punches
around the guard, you know, breaking you
down until you get tired and then he
finds a finish, whether it's a
submission or he pours on the ground and
pound. Um, and he also lets his hands go
really well when he has someone backed
up to the fence. He can hurt you with
that right hand against the cage. That's
a big weapon that he has. We've seen
that in both of his UFC fights. Um, but
Curtis Blades to me is a huge jump up in
competition. Man, this dude has only
lost to championship caliber KO artists.
Sergey Pavlovich fought for the interim
belt, was a favorite against Tom
Aspenol, was the number one contender at
the time. Tom Aspenol, current
heavyweight champion, beats everybody
else in the division exactly the same.
Francis Enanu, former heavyweight
champion. You know what I'm saying?
Derek Lewis, fought for the belt multip
uh two times. Yeah. Inter and undisputed
king of fluking people. Let's be [ __ ]
real here. And other than that, nobody's
beating Curtis [ __ ] Blades.
Especially if you're a wrestler, dude.
I'm sorry, but Curtis Blades has beat
everybody else in this division. He can
strike. He can wrestle. He's not going
to slow down in a three round fight. He
has a big reach advantage here. He has
the striking advantage. He's quick and
athletic on the feet as well, especially
now that his injuries are sorted out.
And I can just see him out striking
Hookit with the calf kick, landing his
jab, moving around on the outside. And
if Hookit rushes Curtis Blades, Blades
will hurt him with a straight right.
Dude, Blades has a nasty straight right
down the middle. I think he'll put calf
kicks on the end of them. He'll be
popping his jab. He's light on his feet,
especially, like I said, now that the
injuries are cleared up. I think he'll
do a good job defending takedowns. And I
I think at some point he will KO Josh
Hoken. Maybe he wins a decision similar
to the uh the it's not Walt Harris, the
other fat black guy that he fought that
was like super athletic. The other guy,
the big ticket. No. No. Not Walt Harris.
It was somebody Oh my god. Justin
Willis. Big pretty. Big pretty. Big
titty. Learn to wrestle. Go home. That's
what I think Curtis Blades is going to
do here. Straight right down the middle.
I think he's going to stuff the
takedowns. I think he'll mix in, you
know, ground and pound and top control.
He'll out wrestle Hoka, end up on top.
I'm picking Curtis Blades to win this
fight pretty confidently. I think this
is too much too soon for Josh Hokit.
He's a good athletic wrestler, decent
striking. There's a lot of things we
don't know about him. I don't think
he'll be able to to hold down Curtis
Blades for three rounds or tire out
Curtis Blades or, you know, out strike
him. I think Blades will be long, land
the calf kick, stuff the takedowns, land
ground and pound, tire him out, and I
think he finds a TKO finish or a
dominant decision win. Give me Cotus
Blades, bro. All right, man. Next fight
of the night, we've got Azamat Mosakanov
versus Paulo Costa in the co-main event.
All right, dude. Really good fight here.
I'm going to go with Mosakanov. I
actually do, but I do think this is
going to be a entertaining close back
and forth fight. Um I I see this being
quite entertaining. I think that
Mosakanov does have an advantage in the
power and the boxing and the accuracy of
his striking. Obviously, you know, both
of these guys kind of like to box on the
inside, but Azamat Mosakanov is just a
little bit quicker and a little bit more
accurate. And I think this will mainly
be a striking fight. Both these guys
have great takedown defense and
scrambling. Uh, and I think that it
comes down to the southpaw versus
orthodox battle. I mean, Paulo Costa's
body kicks are a huge weapon and his
inside leg kicks and those will be there
against a southpaw. Uh, he uses those
really effectively and I do think at 205
he'll fit in really well physically. Uh,
but Mza kind of just got through Rockic
so easily, dude. And Rakage is the
ultimate 205. How the [ __ ] is this guy
at light heavyweight? He's massive. He's
got nasty kicks. He can box decently
well. Uh, and Mosakanov smoked him,
dude. Mosakanov stuffed his takedowns,
got on the inside of the kicks, bombed
him with that jab, and Paulo does leave
a lot of openings in the boxing for
someone like Mosakanov. as Paulo just
loves to kind of pull back from
exchanges with his hands down. I I can
definitely see Azamar landing the
overhand left. I can see him landing
body shots with that left hand. I can
see him landing his jab on the inside of
Paulo trying to kind of lean back and
land that hook that he always does. Uh
but the reason I think this will be a
back and forth fight is because Costa's
chin is [ __ ] crazy. We saw the war
that he had with Vtori at 205. He
doesn't get rocked. He doesn't really
get wobbled. So, I think that Mosakanov
will go through a bad round of kind of
getting kicked at range and then he'll
start to find his way on the inside in
the boxing, land the overhand left, land
the jab on the inside, body shots, and I
think he'll block or avoid a lot of
Polo's kicks. Counter them with the
step- in left hand as Polo's on one leg.
Uh, I'm going to go with Makanov by
unanimous decision. 29-28. Both these
guys have some big moments. Costa does
his emoting and is smiling, but Azimat
Mozakanov lands the bigger, better shots
with the hands. And I think that's going
to be the difference here. I'm going to
go with Azamat by decision. All right,
man. Main event of the evening. Let's go
for that. Now, listen. You know, I have
made three video on this fight. You
know, you guys know my thoughts on this,
man. This is the final cry. This is the
final hurrah because Yuri Prohaskca will
be winning the [ __ ] light heavyweight
belt back. I just feel like Carlos
Goldberg does not have that stopping
power of an Alex Pereira on the back
foot. And Carlos Oberg is really good. I
don't want to take away anything from
him. I'm not hating on him. I'm not a
hater of of Carlos Orberg. I I'm willing
to put the Dominic Reyes KO in the past
and just look at this matchup for what
it is. Yuri Pasca, younger, more
experienced going championship rounds,
more durable, better chin, insanely hard
to finish, improved his defense and some
of those defensive liabilities that we
saw get exposed by Alex Pereira and even
early on by Demir and Rockic. He went
through those tests and he's made
improvements.
And Yuri Prohaska is going to be walking
forward, attacking Carlosberg's body,
slipping and ripping, landing straight
punches. He's okay to get hit. The leg
kicks of Carlos Orberg will be there.
Yuri Prasa is very rooted and ready to,
you know, blitz him with big
combinations, switch stances, throw in
combo, jump, you know, do whatever he
needs to do. Tie up in the clinch.
Carlos Oberg will be doing good until he
isn't. And that's really what this comes
down to. I just feel like yes, he does
have some nice KOs on the back foot with
that check hook. Obviously has the one
two as well. He has great timing. He's
quick. He's athletic. But I think Yuri
Prahaska will put that pressure on him.
And Yuri Prohaska will find his moments
and he'll start to find his rhythm. And
once you see Yuroprasa jabbing and
landing that jab and and avoiding the
big shots in return from Carlosberg,
flicking that front kick to the body,
you know, jumping in, getting a hold of
the wrists, stepping his jab over the
top, slipping, landing big shots,
pushing back. I think that is when it's
going to be the beginning of the end for
Carlos Bberg. I I I just feel like Yuri
Pras is the move here, dude. Berg, he's
good on the back foot. Um, and you know,
obviously there is some comparisons to
the Alex Pereira matchup because a big
light heavyweight. He's got good leg
kicks. He has that left hook. He's a
little bit more defensive with it,
whereas Alex Pereira can kind of push
you back and land it or he can step back
and pull you into shots. Um, but I feel
like what it came down to for Yuri Pasco
against Alex Pereira was the defense,
right? Like the the wing se I'm moving
my head every time and I'm leaning into
those kicks. We saw it kind of glimpsed
for a second in that first fight and
then it came back to bite him in the
second fight. Whereas now that gap has
kind of closed, you know, and I think
that yes, he will be starting out
finding his rhythm, but the way that
Yuri Prahaska controls range and closes
range and pushes people back. It looks
sloppy and weird, but it's actually kind
of effective. And he actually does a
good job of avoiding and rolling with a
lot of big shots. I can just see him
grabbing Carlos Olberg's wrists
constantly kind of frustrating him with
that little flicking inside calf kicks.
Olberg switches stances trying to be
pretty, trying to be technical whereas
Yuri Prasa is just walking them down
making his reads. I trust Yuri Praasa to
eat the big shots and you know the
counters of Carlosberg because
quite low output. He's going to be
waiting for Yuri Praasa to go. I
definitely see him fighting on the back
foot fainting and countering and you
know waiting for that Yuri Prasa leg
kick. Boom boom step in with a one two,
you know, avoid, switch stances, move
around, look for that check hook. Um,
but I think that Yuri Prahaska will just
disrespect his game once he finds his
rhythm, once he times his timing. He's
shown that ability to roll with the
shots. He pressures quite well. Uh, not
so much of a head hunter as he used to
be. Like I've said in some other videos,
I think the body shots will be a big
factor for him here, especially when
Bberg goes southpaw. That front kick to
the body will be there for Yuri Pasa.
And I think every time he ties up in the
clinch, Yuri will cause damage and
Carlos Oberg will want to cause
distance. That's what it seems like to
me. Berg wants to fight at kickboxing
range. He's a kickboxer. He has a big
pedigree in that area. Every time they
clinch, I can just see ducking his head,
pushing away, maybe mixing in a body
lock, trying to take down Yuri Brasa a
little bit. I just feel like Yuri Brasa
forces a fight out of people and he's
built for that. Over five rounds, he
will start to wear downberg. Put him on
the back foot, back him up to the cage.
I think this is going to be a round
three or four TKO for Yuri Prasa. Maybe
he rocks bad. Bberg tries to wrestle.
Yuri Prasa does have a nasty submission
game. Very sneaky with it. So, I'm going
to say Yuri Prasa weathers an early
storm, getting chopped with the calf
kicks, you know, getting kicked at
range. The jab is there, the one two.
He's slipping and ripping, starting to
find his rhythm. Then he just turns on
the autism mode, starts to walk down,
finds the finish late in the fight, and
we get the Europasa roar, and he's
[ __ ] talking. I'm gonna
Yes. And now my mission. I have to find
my kid, you know? Let's go for that.
I think that's what we're going to be
hearing from Yuri Pasca at 327. These
are my predictions for UFC 327. I can't
wait for this card. Of course, you guys
know I'm going to keep the videos coming
throughout the week. I'm also going to
be dropping an immediate recap video
after this card is done. I also have a a

very soon. Uh stay tuned for that on his
channel. We were talking about all these
fights. I don't know when it's going to
drop, but uh yeah, it was really cool to
talk to Mighty Mouse again. So, make
sure you guys keep keep an eye out for
that. It was a really good conversation.
