Check out my notes on each fight here: Alessandro Costa vs Kevin Borjas ✔︎✔︎✔︎ - Alessandro costa - By submission? - Costa Fought Erceg who was much faster than him, Borjas is way slower - Costa is more focused, I also think that hell come to this fight with that erceg experience and win - I think a submission here could be possible. I think costa might knock Borjas to the ground and because of how Borjas is build; be forced into a bit of a grapple and ultimately submit him Ismael Bonfim vs Vinc Pichel ✔︎✔︎✔︎ - Ismael Bonfim by KO or points - Vince is 41, Ismael is 28 - - Tim means// Uros Medic, Jim Miller // Bobby Green - Last fight Ismael had was with St Denis who showed him what a strong fighter with amazing grappling could do - Vinc is unstable on his b=feet, he looks really awkward when he fights Dione Barbosa vs Emesta Kareckaite ✔︎ - 50/50 - Ernesta is a boxer, Barbosa is a grappler - Ernesta is so much taller than Barbosa, I feel like even when Barbosa takes her down she'll be able to get back up Mauricio Ruffy vs Jaime Mullarkey ✔︎✔︎✔︎ - Mauricio Ruffy by KO or points - Looks way more solid on the feet, he’s got that good student straight back which ive noticed is a favorable trait - Jaime is slow, he doesn’t act, and it feels like he fights with fear which I think Mauricio will sense Joaquim Silva vs Drakkar Klose ✔︎✔︎ - I feel like this is going o be a Klose fight haha - I think Klose will win by points, he’s more aggressive but he’s also careful - Silva is the type of fighter that prefers to stay defensive and then pounce when he spots opportunity - I don’t think Klose will give him those openings, and I think he will stack points while silva stays on defense PRELIMS Jean Silva vs William Gomis ✔︎(✔︎) - William Gomis finish - Gomis has a reach advantage and I don’t think he will allow silva to get too close - Silva doesn’t seem to do too well against hunter type fighters, and gomis is one Elves Brener vs Myktybek Orolbai ✔︎ - Myktybek Orolbai (by sub prolly ) he beat uros medic - I think he’s more focused and more careful, smarter fighter overall Karolina Kowalkiewicz vs Iasmin Lucindo ✔︎✔︎ - Iasmin Lucindo finish - Way more focused than Karolina - I feel like this will go the same way karolinas fight with andrade went inn a way. Lucinda fights more like a man - Joanderson Brito vs Jack Shore ✔︎✔︎✔︎ - Joanderson Brito finish - Better grappling, more solid on the feet - I feel like he has better fight IQ, he’s faster Paul Craig vs Caio Borralho ✔︎✔︎ - Caio Borralho. If he wins, probably by sub - Paul Craig doesn’t do anything when he fights, he remains on defense and tries to not get hit MAIN CARD Michel Pereira vs Ihor Potieria ✔︎✔︎(✔︎) - Michel Pereira by KO or points - Hes super long, he will keep his distance from ihor - Way more aggressive and intimidating - He hits hard Anthony Smith vs Vitor Petrino ✔︎✔︎ - Vitor Petrino by ko or points - Vitor is much more creative , he’s also better grappler - Anthony smith just isn’t on it like Vitor is Jonathan Martinez vs Jose Aldo ✔︎ - Jonathan Martinez by KO or points - I think he will control the fight and stay on offense for most of the time - Aldo is 7 years older - I liked Martinez’s performance against Said Nuramagomedov better than Aldo’s performance against mehrab Dvalishvili Alexandre Pantoja vs Steve Erceg ✔︎(✔︎) - Steve Erceg finish - Steve is just a little more focused than pantoja - I think Steve gives it his 110% vs others

[@flaviocintra1481]

Great video!

[@AaronLaLux]

Fight Fairy, you've won me A LOT, been following you since the first video. Not sure how you know so much, but you do! BLESS YOU!

[@Swingman30]

Really liked your breakdowns of each fight! I do think the main event will be close, big step up in competition for Erceg

[@mmafightfairy]

Yeah, i definitely don’t think Erceg will cut through this fight the same way as his previous ones. I also think that people want to believe in Pantoja more because it’s a hometown fight

[@CheckmateMMA]

Good picks! I got Karolina and Petrino wrong. What a fun night of fights. I like how you see things, subbed 😄

[@mmafightfairy]

Thanks for the sub! Petrino lost foolishly.Terrible fight iq. dont know why he decided to slam Smith to the ground when he had his arm around his neck. smh.

[@moneyhew]

Good picks and breakdowns. I would have told you to look at fight goes to decision for Aldo/Martinez and even tho I love Erceg. Pantoja is Brazil is asking a lot for anyone. Great picks tho, subscribed.

[@MrGiovannijohn]

Really awesome breakdown i like your analysis!!For future video you should definitely break up each prediction by chapters or timestamp in the comments.

[@mmafightfairy]

Timestamps in description! I will add chapters if I can

[@hanchohoudini]

[@notoriousmti]

@@mmafightfairy 🥳🥳

[@ZingWingz]

8-0 I love you beautiful.

[@fane80]

she just doesn't miss lmao

[@AaronLaLux]

Erceg is an underrated savage. for real. I think MMA Guru and Fight Fairy nailed it, and I think Lucas Tracy is trippin. Just saying.

[@svensvenson2316]

yea Steve showed up to Brazil a week before Pantoja. I think he'll get a 4th or 5th round ko

[@mmafightfairy]

People underestimate Steve, so he shows up overprepared 💪

[@illinoisbigfoot2005]

💪🏻🫅🏻💪🏻🏰

[@riddlerecsful]

watch 10th ranked Erceg KO Pantoja for the belt on only his 4th ufc fight

[@AaronLaLux]

I'm hoping for that

[@gonzalovazquezavila535]

Pathetic. You didn't predict Jean Silva vs William Gomis would be cancelled.

[@dwoh4345]

if you didnt pick aldo you are a casual and this was the ultimate fight to see where people stand in betting/prediction ability but many got it wrong but not the top iq predicitors like lucastracy mmaguru aldo is on roids + good shape and way better than martinez, nothing more to see here aldo only loses to championship level fighters

[@mmafightfairy]

I posted a short with an update on that specific pick before the fight. I watched weigh ins and stated that I underestimated Aldo’s sharpness.

[@michaelsomone-rn1tv]

Yikes
