Johnny Munoz Jr., DEC
Going with Munoz Jr here as I think he should have the advantage wherever the fight plays out. Simmons will look to go out there and implement a game plan to take you down but the issue with that is that Munoz is good off of his back and is content to work his BJJ. I’d also say Munoz has the advantage in striking, especially his kicks which he throws a lot of. Think that may frustrate Simmons as they are quick and he is going to be the smaller man in there which means they can be more effective for Munoz. Feel like Munoz Jr should have this one covered in all aspects

Predicting fights is a crapshoot no matter what. But seeing a prospect adrenaline dump and be completely exhausted after 4 minutes is the worst feeling. There's so much fight left and they may even be winning but you can just see they're on borrowed time. At least with a vet you know what to expect.

I've seen a lot of knockouts, but that was quite disturbing but I believe there was a lot of trash talk but still no reason to blame Herb Dean. Makes me laugh everytime
That's on Herb Dean - Derrick Lewis after nearly killing a man
There is something very savage about him, but he's likeable giant killing machine
The only thing I really dislike is he tries to bait guys into punches, like plays possum, take it seriously, man. Gane can't make a single mistake, he can't eat a well placed shot from this man. 5 rounds for Derrick to do it, so Gane might wanna use his kicks similar to Volkov and hurt Derrick early and get him out of there. Not sure what Gane does but I don't see him being in any rush.

Victoria Leonardo, DEC
Gonna go with the underdog Leonardo here. Can’t help but think activity is going to be a key factor as since Gatto last fought Leonardo has had 11 fights. Think Leonardo’s aggressiveness on the feet can give Gatto issues as she has struggled with pressure fighters in the past. Gatto’s subs usually come when she’s on bottom, so it will be smart for Leonardo to not go for takedowns in this one. Too many question marks surrounding Gatto to choose her. Has her style advanced into something unrecognizable when she was away? Not sure, can only work with what I’ve seen so think Leonardo can grind out a decision

Miles Johns, DEC
I picked Johns when these two were previously scheduled to fight and I'm picking him again. Dos Santos has wild striking but I don't think it'll be effective against Johns, Johns keeps everything tighter and his jab is gonna be able to land on Dos Santos whenever he throws it. It'll be used to stop the aggression of Dos Santos and the one thing Johns needs to be careful of is shooting for takedowns and getting caught in guillotines, other than that I think he defends the takedowns and gets this one done
