​Main Event: Renato Moicano vs. Chris Duncan.

​Division: Lightweight

Odds: Renato Moicano (+132) vs. Chris Duncan (-160)

​Renato Moicano (20-7-1)

​Fighting Style: Moicano is a high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) black belt with a sophisticated striking game. He excels at using his reach to establish a jab before looking for a clinical takedown. Once on the ground, his back-taking ability is among the best in the division.

​Recent Form: Moicano has had a mixed run in his last three outings. He suffered a tough 1st-round Brabo Choke loss to Islam Makhachev and a Unanimous Decision loss to Beneil Dariush. However, he showed his grit by finishing Benoit St. Denis via TKO (Doctor Stoppage) in the 2nd round.

​Chris Duncan (15-2-0)

​Fighting Style: Duncan is a powerhouse with explosive striking and a rapidly evolving submission game. With 7 KOs and 4 Submissions, he is a “finisher” who thrives in chaotic exchanges and possesses the wrestling to dictate where the fight takes place.

​Recent Form: Duncan is on fire with a 3-fight win streak. He famously submitted Terrance McKinney via Anaconda Choke in just 2:30 of the first round, followed by a gritty Unanimous Decision over Mateusz Rebecki and a Guillotine finish of Jordan Vucenic.

​Score Games MMA Prediction:

​While Moicano has the veteran experience, Duncan’s momentum and finishing instinct are hard to ignore.

• ​Win Probability: Chris Duncan (70%) | Renato Moicano (30%)
• ​The Pick: Chris Duncan via KO or Submission.

​Co-Main Event: Virna Jandiroba vs. Tabatha Ricci.

​Division: Women’s Strawweight

Odds: Virna Jandiroba (-130) vs. Tabatha Ricci (+106)

​Analysis: This is a classic grappler vs. grappler matchup. Virna Jandiroba (22-4) is a submission specialist with 14 subs to her name. Her recent Armbar win over Amanda Lemos proves she is elite. Tabatha Ricci (12-3) is coming off a solid win against Angela Hill but has struggled against the very top tier, like Xiaonan Yan.

• ​The Pick: Virna Jandiroba via Unanimous Decision. Her superior grappling control should negate Ricci’s pressure.

​Light Heavyweight: Abdul-Rakhman Yakhyaev vs. Brendson Ribeiro.

​Odds: Yakhyaev (-2326) vs. Ribeiro (+950)

​Analysis: Yakhyaev (8-0) is one of the most terrifying prospects in the LHW division. He has finished his last 3 fights in the 1st round. Brendson Ribeiro (17-9) is a heavy hitter but has shown defensive gaps in his recent losses.

• ​Win Probability: Yakhyaev (90%)
• ​The Pick: Abdul-Rakhman Yakhyaev via 1st Round TKO.

​Bantamweight: Ethyn Ewing vs. Rafael Estevam.

​Odds: Ethyn Ewing (-139) vs. Rafael Estevam (+113)

​Analysis: This is a battle between the heavy hands of Ethyn Ewing (9-2) and the undefeated wrestling of Rafael Estevam (14-0). Ewing is on a 3-fight win streak, while Estevam’s 7 decision wins show he can grind out a victory over 15 minutes.

• ​The Pick: Ethyn Ewing. We are siding with the favorite’s power to stop the takedown attempts.

​Featherweight: Tommy McMillen vs. Manolo Zecchini.

​Odds: Tommy McMillen (-1351) vs. Manolo Zecchini (+700)

​Analysis: Tommy McMillen (9-0) is a massive favorite for a reason. He is a versatile finisher with a balanced record of KOs and Submissions. Manolo Zecchini (11-4) is a dangerous striker (9 KOs) but faces a steep uphill battle against an undefeated technical master.

• ​Win Probability: Tommy McMillen (85%)
• ​The Pick: Tommy McMillen via Submission.
