FIGHT NIGHT - LEWIS VS NASCIMENTO​

Prelims:​

• 3/2.50 Veronica Hardy -120
• 3/3.15 Charles Johnson +105
• 3/2.11 Trey Waters -142
• 2/1.18 Waters/Goff u2½ -170
• 4/2.96 Tabatha Ricci -135
• 1.33/2 Terrance McKinney +150
• 1/3.00 McKinney wins in round 1 +300

• Ladies flyweights open the card, Aldrich has more grit than skill. She will have her best chance on the ground, but Hardy has shown excellent TDD since her 3-year layoff from 2020-23. Since then she is 2-0, both on decisions, which is most likely where this one ends up as well.
• Johnson (14-6) - Hadley (10-2) ... A very close flyweight men's battle follows. Johnson has more experience and Hadley just 2-2 in UFC after coming in at 8-0. I'll take CJ to build on his last fight/win at plus money.
• Goff (9-2) - Waters (8-1) ...Goff is the stronger wrestler and mostly likely tries to rush the takedown(s). Goff is a solid striker with good Jui Jitsui coming off a sensational 1sr round KO win in his UFC debut. I think this kid has the tools to keep the fight standing and punish Goff and eventually get a finish.
• Ricci is the young up and comer, looking to advance her career while "The Tiny Tornado" may be nearing the end of her run. Both lost their last fight to top contenders by decision. Just thinking "Baby Shark" is hungrier and may have the advantage grappling.
• McKinney (15-6) - Ribovics (12-1) ...This one will start fast as "T.Wrecks" will come quick and hard. If Ribovics can survive the early onslaught, there's a good chance he will take charge and dominate down the stretch. He is a polished striker, but more deliberate and reactive, which McKinney will try not to allow. Good matchup, tough call.

Prelims:​

3/2.50 Veronica Hardy -120
3/3.15 Charles Johnson +105
3/2.11 Trey Waters -142
2/1.18 Waters/Goff u2½ -170

[4-3 +6.39]

• 1.67/2 Borshchev/Hooper u1½ +120
• 1/2.50 Hooper wins inside distance +250
• 1/3.40 Hooper wins by submission +340

• Hooper (13-3-1) - Borshchev (7-3-1) ... Hard to believe Hooper is still hanging and actually 5-3 in 4.5 years in the UFC. You would think he would eventually develop a striking game, but it's yet to manifest through his last fight. Even though he technically has 2 KO wins in the UFC they weren't due to a skilled striking arsenal. Borshchev has 6 KOs in his 7 wins and may well put Chase to sleep, but if this fight hits the mat, I really don't see "Slava" escaping the sub.

[6-4 +10.62]

Main Card:​

• 3/1.43 Robelis Despaigne -210
• 2/2.00 Despaigne wins in round 1 +100
• 2/4.20 Alex Caceres +210

• "The Bad Boy" has 5 first round KOs in 5 fights so far. The specimen likely continues his streak at Cortes-Acosta's expense. Physically, I don't know anyone that could matchup with Despaigne. Also with his build, he needs the quick finish so he doesn't potentially gas out.
• Woodson (11-1-1) is the much more skilled and technical striker, and could sit back and pick Caceres apart if he's patient. "Bruce Leeroy" is very unorthodox and could easily catch Woodson in something crazy if he's not careful. I'll take a shot on the crazy.
