Vadim Nemkov, DEC
Nemkov can avoid the power early and win a decision
Pettis vs. Pitbull
Patricio Pitbull, DEC
Pitbull makes mma history
Newman vs. Perry
Jordan Newman, TKO, R1
Was Perry in prison or something for the time between his last 2 fights. Maybe he was working on his flaws and leveled up but no guarantee

Vadim Nemkov, DEC
Considering Nemkov's well-rounded skill set, his ability to neutralize his opponent's grappling, his effective footwork and striking, and his previous success in the Bellator promotion, I believe he will continue his winning streak and claim victory over Yoel Romero in a hard-fought battle that goes the distance.
Pettis vs. Pitbull
Patricio Pitbull, DEC
Considering their performances and recent form, Patricio Pitbull appears to have the edge in this fight. He possesses better boxing skills, crisp counters, and powerful low kicks. Pitbull's ability to avoid strikes and maintain distance will likely pose a challenge for Pettis, who struggled against Horiguchi's striking in their previous bout. Additionally, Pitbull's well-rounded skills, including his wrestling ability and control on the ground, could neutralize Pettis' grappling and ground game. While Pettis has shown resilience and finishing ability with his spinning backfist knockout, Pitbull's experience and overall skill set make him the favorite to win. Therefore, the prediction is that Patricio Pitbull will emerge victorious by unanimous decision after five hard-fought rounds.
Anderson vs. Davis
Phil Davis, DEC
Considering these factors, Phil Davis is expected to utilize his superior wrestling skills and maintain control throughout the fight. His technical striking abilities will likely help him avoid Anderson's power shots. While Anderson's athleticism and knockout potential cannot be overlooked, Davis' experience, conditioning, and well-rounded skill set should enable him to secure a unanimous decision victory in this three-round contest.
James vs. Saricam
Gokhan Saricam, DEC
Considering these factors, it is predicted that Gokhan Saricam will use his striking skills, particularly his jab and leg kicks, to control the distance and keep James at bay. Saricam's experience and technical prowess in striking give him the edge in this fight, leading to a unanimous decision victory in his favor.
Moore vs. Polizzi
Alex Polizzi, DEC
Given the three-round duration of the fight, I predict that Polizzi's wrestling dominance and control on the ground will earn him a unanimous decision victory. He will likely score points with takedowns, ground control, and effective striking from top position, while Moore may struggle to find consistent success in his striking offense against Polizzi's grappling prowess.
Buist vs. Rabadanov
Gadzhi Rabadanov, DEC
Considering these factors, Gahdzi Rabadanov is predicted to win this lightweight fight. He has shown better overall skills, including a well-rounded grappling game, and his ability to control the fight and accumulate points through takedowns and ground control should give him an edge over Pieter Buist.
Willis vs. Kuramagomedov
Ramazan Kuramagomedov, DEC
Considering Kuromagomedov's track record and his ability to maintain control and deliver effective ground and pound, I believe he will outwork Willis over the course of three rounds. Kuromagomedov's smothering style and constant pressure are likely to lead him to a unanimous decision victory in this welterweight matchup.
Colgan vs. Sanchez
Emmanuel Sanchez, DEC
Ultimately, Emmanuel Sanchez's experience, well-rounded skill set, and relentless pressure are expected to secure him a unanimous decision victory over Archie Colgan in this three-round lightweight contest.
Novenyi Jr. vs. Oniszczuk
Norbert Novenyi Jr., SUB, R2
Given Novenyi Jr.'s dominant grappling skills and Oniszczuk's susceptibility to chokes, I believe Novenyi Jr. will find success in the grappling exchanges. He will likely look to take the fight to the ground, where he can utilize his superior grappling to secure a submission victory. I predict that in the second round, Novenyi Jr. will catch Oniszczuk in a rear-naked choke, forcing him to tap out and securing the win.
Khizriev vs. Smullen
Timur Khizriev, DEC
Considering Khizriev's well-rounded skill set, his dominant performance in previous fights, and his undefeated record, it is likely that he will have the edge in this matchup. Smullen's grappling skills may allow him to survive and potentially threaten Khizriev with submissions, but Khizriev's superior overall game, including striking and grappling, is expected to lead him to a unanimous decision victory after three rounds.
Crutchmer vs. Nash
Bobby Nash, TKO, R1
Overall, I anticipate that Bobby Nash's aggressive striking, coupled with his desire to bounce back from his UFC losses, will overwhelm Crutchmer and lead to a decisive victory by KO/TKO in the first round.
Vanderford vs. Aliev
Imamshafi Aliev, SUB, R3
Considering Aliev's undefeated record, his solid wrestling, and the ability to secure submissions, it is likely that he will utilize his grappling skills to take Vanderford down and control the fight on the ground. Eventually, Aliev may find an opportunity to secure the back of Vanderford and apply the Rear-Naked Choke, leading to a submission victory in the third round.
Higo vs. Mikhailov
Leandro Higo, DEC
Ultimately, after three rounds of action, I predict Leandro Higo will emerge as the winner by unanimous decision, showcasing his striking prowess and effective grappling skills throughout the fight.
Hamel vs. Nikaev
Mike Hamel, DEC
In this fight, Hamel's aggression, forward pressure, and twitchy feints will likely keep Nikaev on the defensive, limiting his opportunities to implement his own game plan effectively. Although Nikaev's durability and technical skills could allow him to survive until the final bell, Hamel's overall dominance and ability to land powerful strikes should sway the judges in his favor, resulting in a split decision victory for Mike Hamel.

Should probably wait for the weigh-ins to put a prediction in for this one. IF the cut goes smoothly for Pitbull, I don't really see Pettis giving him any problems.
Anderson vs. Davis
Corey Anderson, DEC
Would be suprised if either of them get a takedown.
