Tied for 7th with 3 others
Gennrich vs. Lewis Richie Lewis, DEC This is a tricky one. Gennrich isn’t amazing but he is very tough to fight. He can be taken down but he has very crafty bjj and is always going to force you to work. He has great cardio as well and can go for days. I’m not totally sure what to think of Lewis. I thought the Ernesto Rodriguez fight was impressive (although sloppy) because 1. It’s aging well and 2. He broke Ernesto with the crazy pace he pushed. However, Lewis has had some very flat performances against cans, and that makes me think other wide about him. His wrestling is very high level but he doesn’t do a ton on top. I think he can out control gennrich, but if gennrich is able to find openings, he will give Lewis a lot of issues. Lewis cardio seems great so he shouldn’t have a ton of issues, but at the same time I’ve never seen him be the nail before. His striking is also really unimpressive to me. Winner should go to dwcs
Kuziutina vs. Ellen Natasha Kuziutina, DEC This is a really good test for kuziutina. Ellen is pretty mid but she has a well rounded skillset and has good experience. Shes also pretty durable which helps. I don’t think natasha is a very good striker but her grappling is amazing. She is a judoka & also is a very good athlete. Her last fight with canuto was insane, she showed some of the best sub defense I’ve ever seen. Her age is a hindrance, but I hope someone picks her up. She may not go very far or stay in the sport long, but she is a very fun fighter to watch & has a unique style
Abdibait uulu vs. Junior Busurmankul Abdibait uulu, TKO, R3 This is an awesome fight. Junior is very explosive but his cardio isn’t great. Busurmankul is pretty well rounded and a much better wrestler. I think Junior is going to make this really tough early on, but once busurmankul survives the early storm I think he will take over. Winner should go to dwcs
Scott vs. Hart Joey Hart, TKO, R1 Great matchmaking, someone is getting slept bad
Sanson vs. Burkholder Miguel Sanson, DEC Sanson is the best 4-2 fighter in mma. He took two very hard fights back to back and was very competitive in both. The an ho fight in particular was very impressive. Burkholder is a really good wrestler but not a great striker & he’s also tiny. I think Sanson gets back to his winning waysb
Majidov vs. Barzilay Ilay Barzilay, DEC I don’t think barzilay is very good but this Tajik hasn’t fought in forever and hasn’t fought anyone with a pulse

Tied for 382nd
Nascimento has only ever fought for LFA in Brazil. This event is in Indiana, USA. LFA seems to be giving out additional belts to Brazil-only fighters. They're running their Brazil events almost like a separate thing. You can see they've done this recently with the LHW strap with LFA 175 (Brazil) and LFA 178 (California) - two diff LHW champs.

Tied for 256th
This main event is a complete coin flip. Grennrich is big and long and crafty as hell while Richie is decorated and tenacious. This will be quite the test for Richie & I really don’t know if he can handle it. Hmmm🤔

Tied for 109th
Ferreira vs. Junior I want Jose Ferreira at -200. He has a kempt overhead chop and an accurate palm block. Ferreira could wrestle the enemy.
Sanson vs. Burkholder I am obsessed with Miguel Sanson at -200. He has a jarring crotch-hold and a xenotropic leaping clothesline. Sanson is gonna elevate the previous pitfalls.
Rodriguez vs. Samuel I can't get enough of Cauatã Samuel at -200. He has a hot mounted elbow drop and a hedonistic double knife hand block. Samuel ought to impair the masterpiece. No question!
Vaci vs. Beckett I go for Zach Vaci at -225. He has a maniacal scissors sweep. Vaci will bake the natural order.
Gennrich vs. Lewis I desire Richie Lewis at -165. He has a wretched scissors sweep and a cybernetic side kick to the throat and also a formal reverse frankensteiner. Lewis is gonna fuel the underdog. Beep boop!
Scott vs. Hart I am obsessed with Joey Hart at -450. He has a hot osoto gari and an oppulent crescent kick. Hart must capture the canvas.
Sadeck vs. Kimble I am loyal to Paul Kimble at -135. He has a laudable reverse side kick. Kimble might undress the foe. Hammertime!
Leonard vs. Flores I can't get enough of Matthew Leonard at -400. He has a gifted kneebar and a zingy inverted atomic drop. Leonard shall terminate the cake.
