🇧🇷Jean Matsumoto vs 🇦🇫Farid Basharat (9/13)

🇦🇫Farid Basharat via DEC

Farid Basharat is likely to win this fight by decision because he is simply a more efficient and disciplined fighter when the rounds start stacking up. While Jean Matsumoto is incredibly dangerous and brings a ton of energy and volume, he tends to get hit just as much as he lands. That kind of back and forth brawl style might look exciting, but it’s hard to sustain against someone like Basharat, who is a master at staying out of trouble. Farid uses his reach perfectly to pick shots from the outside and, more importantly, he has the wrestling skills to change the momentum whenever he wants. By taking Matsumoto down and controlling him on the mat, Basharat can kill off Matsumoto’s rhythm and drain his gas tank. Over fifteen minutes, Farid’s ability to stay technical and dictate where the fight happens should clearly win him at least two, if not all three, rounds on the judges' scorecards.

🇺🇸Dustin Jacoby vs 🇺🇸Julius Walker (8/13)

🇺🇸Dustin Jacoby via KO/TKO

Dustin Jacoby is coming into this fight with a massive advantage in pure striking experience that simply can’t be ignored. While his opponent is younger and more explosive, Jacoby has spent years at the highest levels of professional kickboxing, which has given him a level of polish and timing that most MMA fighters never reach. He doesn't just throw hard; he sets traps. He uses a constant, stinging jab and low kicks to frustrate his opponents, eventually forcing them to get reckless. Once they start lunging in out of desperation, that’s when Jacoby usually finds the opening for his signature counter-punches. Even though he’s taking this on short notice, his "Factory X" training team is legendary for getting fighters ready for specific threats. Expect Jacoby to weather the early storm, stay composed under pressure, and eventually land a perfectly timed shot that ends the night early.

I can step in, I know not ideal. I’m in great shape and cleared by doctors post fight. Need clearance.

My last performance doesn’t sum up what I’ve been in this promotion. The most reliable man at the weight class. ❤️‍🔥📈🏴‍☠️

If possible I’ll make the weight and right the ship.

🇦🇿Rafael Fiziev vs 🇧🇷Mauricio Ruffy (12/14)

🇦🇿Rafael Fiziev via DEC

Fiziev operates at a technical level that Mauricio Ruffy hasn't quite reached yet. While Ruffy is dangerous and has one shot KO power that can end a fight in an instant, Fiziev is incredibly durable and has spent years going blow for blow with the absolute best in the world without folding. He uses a smart, disciplined Muay Thai style that focuses on chipping away at his opponent’s body and legs, which eventually slows down explosive fighters like Ruffy. As the fight goes on, Ruffy tends to wait too long for the perfect punch, while Fiziev stays busy with fast combinations and sharp kicks. By staying active and using his veteran experience to avoid the big home run shots, Fiziev should be able to control the rhythm and convince the judges he was the better, more consistent fighter over all three rounds.

🇦🇺Tai Tuivasa vs 🇧🇷Tallison Teixeira (11/14)

🇧🇷Tallison Teixeira via KO/TKO

Teixeira is a nightmare matchup for Tuivasa because of the sheer physical gap between them. At 6’8”, he towers over Tai, using his massive reach to land heavy shots while staying safely out of range of those hooks. While Tuivasa is known for his incredible heart, his chin has shown signs of wear lately against the division’s elite power punchers. Teixeira is a clinical finisher who picks his spots with terrifying precision. He uses his long arms like spears, and as soon as Tai tries to close the distance, he’s going to run directly into a perfectly timed knee or a straight right hand. Because Teixeira is so much bigger, Tai has to take massive risks just to get in range, and in the heavyweight division, that usually leads to a quick exit. Expect Teixeira to find a gap early and land a devastating blow that the veteran simply can't absorb anymore.
