Alex Perez vs. Tatsuro Taira Full Card Predictions

Miles Johns vs. Douglas Silva de Andrade

Lower weight divisions tend to become less forgiving for fighters as they get older, but Silva de Andrade, 38, is still performing at a high level. There are no easy fights in the UFC's powerful bantamweight division, and although Johns has one win already this year, I expect the Brazilian to continue his winning streak.

(Pick: Silva de Andrade)

As Almabaev vs. Jose Johnson

Johnson will face a tough matchup against “Lobo Solitario,” who fell short in his UFC debut but bounced back with a submission win over Chad Anheriger. Almabaev has been on a winning streak dating back to 2017, and a third UFC win against Johnson would greatly improve the 30-year-old's position as a contender.

(Pick: Almabaev)

Adam Fugit vs. Josh Quinlan

This is a great welterweight bout to kick off the main card at UFC Vegas 93. Quinlin is coming off two losses after winning his UFC debut, so he's under a lot of pressure. This matchup could be a tough fight, but I'm betting on Fugit. This fight definitely won't be a full fight.

(Pick: Fugit)

Tagir Uranbekov vs. Joshua Van

This might be the best fight on the card outside of the main event, and while Uranbekov is the obvious favorite, I expect Vann to extend his unbeaten streak in the UFC and pull off an upset to earn himself a spot in the top 15 of the flyweight division.

(Pick: Van)

Nate Maness vs. Jimmy Flick

I don’t like how wide the current betting odds are for this fight, but even though Flick is always a threat to get a submission, Manes should be able to thwart those attempts en route to a second consecutive win.

(Pick: Mannes)

Garrett Armfield vs. Brady Heistand

This is a relatively low-key matchup with Fight of the Night potential, and seeing as Armfield beat Brad Katona in his last bout, I think the 27-year-old should be able to end Heistand’s current two-fight winning streak.

(Pick: Armfield)

Carly Giudice vs. Gabriella Fernandez

Judith's courageous performance Contender Series She earned a UFC contract last year despite losing, but while that fight was entertaining, there are concerns that she may not have gained the regional experience necessary to be successful at UFC.

(Pick: Fernandez)

Jeka Saragi vs. Westin Wilson

Saragi’s knockout win over Lucas Alexander showcased the talent that got UFC on his radar in the first place, and I expect the Indonesian fighter to hand Wilson a third straight loss and possibly mean the end of his promotional run.

(Pick: Saragi)

Giulia Polastri vs. Josefine Knutsson

This is a great matchup between two promising young strawweights and while I expect Polastri to have success in the UFC, I expect Knutsson to add another win to his unbeaten record.

(Pick: Knutson)

Chaylan Nueldambieque vs. Melquizael Costa

This is one of those rare bouts where both fighters have lost to the same opponent, and while it's surprising to see Nuel Dambieque in a slight underdog position after winning three straight fights before facing Steve Garcia, Costa should come out victorious here.

(Pick: Costa)
