Erin Blanchfield - After an unbelievable performance submitting Andrade in the second round, there’s only one way to go from here. Title shot. Valentina Shevchenko awaits.
Jéssica Andrade - Still a top contender in the flyweight division and I stand by my pick for Andrade after UFC 283. Alexa Grasso should be next for Andrade, assuming she loses at UFC 285 to Shevchenko.
Zac Pauga - Philipe Lins got a good win last night as well as Pauga, match them up and let's see how good Pauga really is.
Jordan Wright - If you can get both guys to the table, I’d keep Wright at 205 pounds and put him up against Tyson Pedro.
Jamal Pogues - Since my last prediction for him got booked, I’ll rebook him against Pogues who won last night. Parker Porter is my pick.
Josh Parisian - Book him for Mohammed Usman’s UFC debut. Parisian is a tough guy and would be a good test for Usman’s first bout.
Marcin Prachnio - I really like the idea of an all-European matchup in Prachnio vs Modestas Bukauskas who recently came off an impressive win at UFC 284.
William Knight - I can’t see Dana letting that performance slide, after three consecutive losses, Knight will more than likely be cut.
Alexander Hernandez - Assuming he stays at lightweight, Hernandez deserves a slightly bigger name at lightweight. His timeline seems to fit nicely with Jamie Mullarkey so that’s who I’d pair him with.
Jim Miller - He may have lost to Hernandez but I don’t think it’s a loss where his stock has taken a hit. Rebook the original Gabriel Benítez fight that was originally booked for this slot.
