Egger brings way more experieince at this level. She's won 3 of her last 4 in UFC, all ITD. Alekseeva did win her last fight(only one in Bellator) by decision but that was in 2021. Egger gets this one to the ground and then potentially overwhelms the young Russian fighter with G-n-P or her food sub game.
If Durden banks on his wrestling ability, he has a good chance. Johnson is very dangerous however, a cadio machine with excellent Muay Thai base but has proven well rounded. It his TD defense holds up, it could be a long night for Cody
Martin Buday(11-1) looks to make a statement vs journeyman Jake Collier. Jake's a freak who had fought at 205 and even 185, but barely made weight yesterday at 265.5...tells me someone hasn't been doing all the reps. Too HW's going in opposite direction. Kinda scary odds are so low, but Buday looks clearly the better fighter to me.
Two welterweights open the main card, both like to bang and both carry power. Quinlan likes fighting close in the pocket, which is definitely where he will need to be vs Waters(7-1) who is huge for WW at 6'5" and will have a big advantage in reach. If Waters can control the distance and fight at range with a stiff jab, he has a good chance, but I'm thingin Quinlan (6-0) will not permit that.
Then we get 2 more heavies in Waldo Cortes-Acosta (9-0) & Marcos Rogério de Lima (20-8-1). Waldo's the more technical striker and should prevail as long as he doesn't find himself on his back with this huge Brazilian on top of him.
