JACK HERMANSSON vs. JOE PYFER
Middleweight Main Event:
Jack Hermansson is a Norwegian fighter who has been in the UFC since 2016, he is a well-balanced fighter with his stamina showing in his recent fights. He has struggled to pick up wins as of late, losing 3 of his last 5 fights with 4 off these bouts going the distance. His most recent fight was against Roman Dolidze where he lost by TKO in round 2.
Due to the recent form Hermansson has shown, he will enter the octagon as the underdog this weekend.
Joe Pyfer is an American fighter who is known for his heavy hitting and clean strikes. He is new to the UFC, with just 3 Pro UFC fights to his name, however he has been on solid form since his debut, winning all 3 of his fights so far. His most recent fight was against Abdul Razak Alhassan where he won by round 2 submission.
He will enter the fight as the comfortable favourite and he will be looking to pick up another win and climb the division rankings.

Hermansson 85/40
Pyfer 4/10
PREDICTION:
I believe Pyfer will comfortably take the fight just like the betting odds suggest, with a round 2 TKO stoppage.
DAN IGE vs. ANDRE FILI
Featherweight Fight:
Dan Ige is an American fighter with a good few years of UFC experience behind him. He has however been in poor form recently losing 4 of his last 6 fights with 5 of these going the distance. His most recent fight saw him clash with Bryce Mitchell in September last year, where he lost by unanimous decision.
Although he has not been in particularly good form as of late, he will enter the fight as the slight favourite in the betting markets.
Andre Fili is an American fighter who has been in the UFC for more than a decade, he has consistently been on both sides of the draw recently, winning 2 and losing 2 of his 5 most recent fights, with 1 fight ending in a no contest. His last fight was in December last year where he beat Lucas Almeida by TKO in round 1.
Fili has been in reasonable form and although he is in good shape at the moment, he will be looking for a dark horse victory.

Ige 8/13
Fili 11/8
PREDICTION:
I believe this fight will go the distance, with Fili putting up a solid performance and winning by decision.

Middleweight Fight:
Brad Tavares is an American striker who shows good stamina, he has won 3 of his last 5 fights with all of his wins being by decision. His most recent fight was against Chris Weidman, where he won by decision at UFC 292.
He will enter the octagon with the betting odds stacked against him this weekend.
Gregory Rodrigues is a Brazilian grappler who can pack a heavy punch. He has also won 3 of his 5 latest fights with all of his wins being by TKO/KO. His most recent fight was against Denis Tiuliulin where he won by TKO in round 1.
Although Rodrigues is far less experienced, he has been named favourite for this fight by the bookies due to his current form.
