Standing, the fight favors Vallejos's climbing volume and finishing threat, while Emmett's reach gives him room to land power from the outside. If it stretches deep, Vallejos's cardio and pace become the story, and Emmett has to make his moments count early. Vallejos's ability to defend takedowns keeps exchanges where he wants them; Emmett's path runs through landing something heavy before the pace tells.

Fili's push to drag it down meets Delgado's danger both standing and off the mat. If Fili scores takedowns and works from top, he steers the fight away from Delgado's volume, but landing on Delgado's back invites the submission threat. Should it stay upright, Delgado's pressure and finishing ability set the terms, and his cardio favors him if it stretches deep.

Standing, Rahiki's finishing power is the story, and staying upright plays to his ability to close the show. On the ground, the picture shifts toward Hardwick, whose submission threat off the canvas is the central danger for Rahiki. The switch stance can complicate Rahiki's orthodox angles and lines of entry. If Hardwick can drag exchanges to the mat, his finishing threat becomes live; if Rahiki keeps it standing, his power dictates.

Cutelaba carries the deeper experience, but the matchup-specific tools lean Sy's way. The 20 cm reach edge, paired with his range management against Cutelaba's southpaw angles, shapes most of the striking. If Cutelaba looks to change levels, Sy's takedown defense keeps it standing, and when it does hit the mat Sy's top control applies. With his cardio and finishing threat, the longer this goes the more his output and power matter.

Standing favors Johnson's range and length; the ground brings Silva's submission threat into play. The reach gap lets Johnson fight on the outside and keep this a kickboxing match, where his conditioning grows in value over the distance. Silva's path runs through closing that space and getting the fight to the mat, where his finishing becomes the central danger. Johnson's recent durability matters most if Silva's power connects on entries.

Orolbai's drive to get it down meets Curtis's takedown defense head-on, and that collision decides most of this. If Orolbai puts him on the mat, his top game and finishing ability become the central danger. Kept upright, Curtis's higher output and pressure take over, though Orolbai's distance management and durability give him tools to survive the striking and reset his entries.

Petrino carries the deeper track record and proven grappling danger, while Asplund's matchup-specific tools sit in the striking. If Asplund pressures and pushes volume, Petrino's distance control and durability become the counter, and his submission threat gives him a route once it hits the mat. Asplund's takedown defense complicates that entry, so whether Petrino can drag it down against a taller man who wants it standing decides much here.

The early and middle rounds tilt toward Smith's tools, his wrestling in both directions, the length he can fight behind, and the finishing power that has ended recent fights. You's path runs the other way, through time: the longer this goes, the more his durability and late-round pace matter. If Smith can't close early and You weathers the power, the grind of the later rounds becomes You's territory.

The finishing pressure runs through Sousa: his ability to end things and his threat on the ground both matter most in the early and middle exchanges. Oki's 8 cm of reach lets him fight long and keep Sousa at the end of his strikes, where the debutant has to close space to bring his mat game and finishing into play. If Sousa gets it to the floor, his submission threat becomes the central danger. If Oki keeps it at range, distance decides it.

Anders's push to get the fight to the mat meets Tavares on the ground, where Anders's rising control and top pressure give him a reason to change levels rather than trade at range in this southpaw-orthodox setup. If he lands takedowns, his top game and improving positional work steer the fight. Should Tavares keep it standing and force distance exchanges, Anders's grappling case loses its footing and the fight opens up.

Standing, Sosa's height offers him room to fight at range and keep the exchanges long. The floor is where things shift toward Lacerda, whose danger on the ground is the central threat here. That makes Sosa's ability to stay upright, or scramble back to his feet, the pivotal question. If Lacerda drags it down and settles into top position, his submission threat becomes the story; if Sosa keeps it standing, he dictates terms.
