MMAPREDICTIONGURU — UFC Belgrade predictions

Calls Buzukja more technical but Grad more explosive and powerful, says Grad looks hungrier and has had longer to recover from his knockout loss, with control time the difference.

“because it's happened recently to both of them. So, it's a difficult fight to of them. So, it's a difficult fight to be super confident in, but I'm going to be super confident in, but I'm going to lean towards Bogdan Grad, and I'll say lean towards Bogdan Grad, and I'll say he actually wins via decision. he actually wins via decision. And we got a short notice match up once And we got a short notice match up once again here with Bogdan Grad, and or not again here with Bogdan Grad, and or not Bog”

Grants Elliott heart, cardio and the only grappling path, but expects him to press forward and run into Oliveira's left hook from a much longer, more damaging striker.

“feel like he's that likely to be able to strike for three rounds without getting strike for three rounds without getting clipped with that heat. So, give me clipped with that heat. So, give me Oliveira via round two KO/TKO. Oliveira via round two KO/TKO. And man, I mean, the good fights just And man, I mean, the good fights just keep on coming. I know a lot of people keep on coming. I know a lot of people [ __ ] on this card, but maybe I'm like a [ __ ] on this card, but mayb”

Openly calls it a 50/50 with little insight to offer, but leans Klein as the longer, younger, crisper striker who out-volumes Musayev over three rounds.

“last his last fight, but I don't see that being a viable option here. that being a viable option here. And um And um I'm going to slightly lean with Klein I'm going to slightly lean with Klein via decision, but like you could tell, via decision, but like you could tell, don't really get a lot of don't really get a lot of great insight to give you guys in this great insight to give you guys in this one, and uh one, and uh just kind of think he's going to out just kind of think he's going to out v”

Notes all 14 of Cepo's wins are finishes and says Urbina's defence and chin are not good enough to bang with him, leaving Urbina only an outside wrestling-based path.

“I think the safe money is on Ceppo finding the chin, knocking out Urbina in finding the chin, knocking out Urbina in the first round. the first round. So, I'm going to go with Vlachos Ceppo So, I'm going to go with Vlachos Ceppo first round KO. first round KO. And another kind of janky fight here, And another kind of janky fight here, Dusko Todorovic and Robert Valentin. And Dusko Todorovic and Robert Valentin. And pretty shocking that these guys are both pretty shocking that these guys are both”

Dismisses both records but gives Todorovic the wrestling edge, thinks he can nullify Valentin on the ground and win the cardio battle, with his takedown threat opening up the striking.

“I expect that his wrestling could open up some striking and I just think he's up some striking and I just think he's the more well-rounded guy. the more well-rounded guy. So I'm going to go with Dusko Todorovic So I'm going to go with Dusko Todorovic here in this fight. here in this fight. And another really random fight here, And another really random fight here, Marcin Tybura Aleksandar Rakic. And both Marcin Tybura Aleksandar Rakic. And both these guys just trying to hang on for these guys ju”

Thinks Rakic has every base covered against an aging, fading Tybura — far faster at range, with no realistic takedown threat against him — and calls a quick blitz finish.

“slick for Tybura, avoid getting dragged into a slow-paced clinch battle, and into a slow-paced clinch battle, and just win this fight. So, I'm going to just win this fight. So, I'm going to say he actually wins via first-round KO say he actually wins via first-round KO here. here. And co-main event time, we got Jan And co-main event time, we got Jan Błachowicz. He's coming back. He's Błachowicz. He's coming back. He's taking on Navajo Sterling. taking on Navajo Sterling. And um And um another fi”

Rates Blachowicz the better overall fighter but thinks he is slowing, keeps losing close calls with the judges, and that Stirling's range, leg kicks and clinch work win a competitive decision.

“wrestling and clinch battle to get him tired and then win a decision in this tired and then win a decision in this fight. So, I see it being competitive fight. So, I see it being competitive once again, but I'm going to go with once again, but I'm going to go with Nalvo Sterling via decision. Nalvo Sterling via decision. And then last but not least, we got the And then last but not least, we got the main event, which is going to be a barn main event, which is going to be a barn burner with Earle”

Says he would have picked Rodriguez if not for the prison layoff and the fight being in Serbia, but Medic's speed, front kicks and one-shot power tip it. Would not commit to a single round.

“I just think he's going to be more ready. ready. And um And um going to go Errol's first, second round going to go Errol's first, second round KO in this fight. KO in this fight. And I'll actually say it will be with a And I'll actually say it will be with a head kick. head kick. So there you have it, guys. It's the So there you have it, guys.
