With very limited information available, it's difficult to make a strong prediction. The betting line favors Salkilld, and his first main event could either be a huge motivator or a source of pressure. Gamrot's reported connection to Poirier is an interesting, albeit intangible, factor.

This is a tough fight to call given Ferreira's recent skid and Quarantillo's move up in weight. While Ferreira has a clear grappling advantage, the weight class jump for Quarantillo and Ferreira's age and recent durability concerns make this a close one. I lean slightly towards Quarantillo due to his momentum and Ferreira's recent struggles, despite the betting line.

Curtis Blaydes presents a significant stylistic nightmare for Waldo Cortes Acosta with his elite wrestling and ground control. While Acosta has shown good striking, his takedown defense will be severely tested against 'Razor' Blaydes, who has a clear path to victory on the mat. Blaydes' experience against higher-level competition further solidifies his advantage in this matchup.

Dan Ige holds significant physical advantages, particularly in reach and the fact that Martinez is moving up a weight class. Ige's experience against higher-level competition and his well-rounded skill set should allow him to control the fight. Martinez will likely struggle to close the distance and deal with Ige's power and grappling.

Alexandre Pantoja enters this rematch as the clear favorite, having already defeated Joshua Van and holding the championship belt. His well-rounded skillset, particularly his grappling and relentless pressure, proved too much for Van in their first encounter. Expect Pantoja to leverage his experience and championship pedigree to defend his title once again.

Renato Moicano holds a significant physical advantage in height and reach, which will be crucial in keeping the fight where he wants it. While Brian Ortega's submission game is elite, the move up to lightweight and the size disparity against a well-rounded fighter like Moicano presents a tough challenge.

With very limited information available, this fight is a tough one to call. Menifield's reach advantage is the only clear physical edge, but Baraniewski's youth could be a factor. Without knowing their styles, recent form, or finishing abilities, it's impossible to make a confident prediction.

This fight presents an intriguing stylistic clash at Welterweight. While Malott has a height advantage, Buckley's significant reach advantage and southpaw stance could allow him to control the distance and land his powerful strikes. The fight likely comes down to whether Malott can close the distance and utilize his grappling or if Buckley can keep it standing and find a knockout blow.

Erin Blanchfield enters this fight with significant momentum, boasting an undefeated UFC record and a reputation as an elite grappler. Her youth and finishing ability, particularly on the ground, give her a clear edge over the older and less dynamic Jasmine Jasudavicius. While Jasudavicius is durable, Blanchfield's relentless pressure and superior jiu-jitsu should lead to a dominant performance.

Mandel Nallo holds a significant physical advantage in height and reach, which could be a major factor against Nate Landwehr's aggressive, brawling style. Landwehr also moving up a weight class to Lightweight adds another layer of challenge. While Landwehr's grit is undeniable, Nallo's physical attributes and potential for a more technical striking approach give him an edge.
We treat the betting line as the starting point — the crowd already prices most of the signal — then adjust it with
seven scouting factors (form, style, physical, finishing, activity, context, sentiment), each grounded in the real
tale of the tape and weighted by how confident we are it matters here. We cap how far we can drift from the market,
so a pick is never a wild swing. When our number meaningfully beats the line, we flag it a value pick.
For upcoming UFC cards we call the whole main card, even before the books post a line.
Every pick is logged and auto-graded against the result, so the record above is honest, fight by fight, including how we stack up against the betting line.
