UFC Fight Night full picks & predictions for Roman Dolidze vs. Anthony Hernandez

I wouldn’t be shocked if Dolidze lands something big or manages to snatch up a submission during an early scramble to secure a fourth-straight win, but I expect that Hernandez’s pressure will tire the Georgian out and potentially set up a finish for “Fluffy” during the later rounds.

(Pick: Hernandez)

Steve Erceg vs. Ode Osbourne

Erceg has had a tough run of matchups since being given a title shot just three fights into his UFC career, and as long as he doesn’t eat something big from Osbourne this looks like a good spot for him to finally get back into the win column.

(Pick: Erceg)

Iasmin Lucindo vs. Angela Hill

This should be a fun strawweight scrap, and if the majority of the fight takes place on the feet then I’ll side with Hill to continue what’s been an impressive run during the final stages of her fighting career.

(Pick: Hill)

Andre Fili vs. Christian Rodriguez

Rodriguez has made a name for himself as a fighter that’s capable of derailing undefeated prospects, but he’s unfortunately struggled in the UFC when matched up with established veterans like Fili.

(Pick: Fili)

Miles Johns vs. Jean Matsumoto

Matsumoto came up short in his first real test against Rob Font in February, and while I do think this is a well-matched fight it’s still one that the Brazilian should win if he’s going to get another crack at the UFC rankings.

(Pick: Matsumoto)

Eryk Anders vs. Christian Leroy Duncan

I think that the current betting line on this fight is a bit disrespectful to Anders, but if he’s not able to get this fight to the ground then Duncan should have his way with the American on the feet.

(Pick: Duncan)

UFC Vegas 109 Preliminary Card Predictions

Julius Walker vs. Raffael Cerqueira

Cerqueira is likely fighting for his spot on the UFC roster. Unfortunately, he’s been matched up with a fighter that’s eager to rebound from a disappointing UFC debut after joining the promotion as an undefeated prospect.

(Pick: Walker)

Elijah Smith vs. Toshiomi Kazama

On paper this matchup looks a bit similar to Walker vs. Cerqueira, with the difference being that Smith comes into the matchup carrying plenty of momentum as Kazama looks to avoid a loss that might spell the end of his UFC career.

(Pick: Smith)

Joselyne Edwards vs. Priscila Cachoeira

Cachoeira proved she still has something left in the tank when she brutally knocked out Josiane Nunes in her last outing, but I expect she’ll struggle to close the distance enough to find any real striking success against Edwards.

(Pick: Edwards)

Uros Medic vs. Gilbert Urbina

Following an upset-loss in his last fight against Punahele Soriano, Medic has a big opportunity to get back to his finishing ways here after all three of Urbina’s previous UFC bouts ended inside the distance.

(Pick: Medic)

Gabriella Fernandes vs. Julija Stoliarenko

Stoliarenko’s trend of alternating wins and losses indicates she should get her hand raised here, but Fernandes is riding high following her upset over Cong Wang and a split decision over Carli Judice that has aged quite well after Judice’s recent UFC success.

(Pick: Fernandes)

Cody Brundage vs. Eric McConico

Brundage moves up to light heavyweight here following the controversial ending to his bout with Mansur Abdul-Malik, and I’ll side with the UFC veteran to get a big win after a strange run of results over his last few outings.

(Pick: Brundage)
