Why tf on earth should Jiri Prochazka get a title shot after getting put to sleep in the first round by a guy with fucking one leg? Honestly, I have got an even better question,why is an interim LHW belt even a thing right now? The champ's coming back in January anyway. Volkanovski fought in February 2026 after being out since April 2025, and I didnt see any interim belt for that.Or belal,10 months.Petr yan 10 months.Khamzat 9 months.Islam 9 months.There was 1 year gap between Miocic and Dc’s second and third fights.Which one of these had an interim title fight?Ulberg put that fake samurai to sleep in 3 minutes and people dont want to see that.Hes not even on the p4p list and he is the champion.Even the ufc disrespects him,its not just people

Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez vs Gregory “Robocop” Rodrigues Breakdown & Prediction This is a really interesting middleweight main event because both guys have very clear paths to winning. On one side you’ve got Anthony Hernandez. Relentless pressure, ridiculous cardio, chain wrestling and one of the most exhausting styles in the division. On the other you’ve got Gregory Rodrigues. Bigger, powerful, dangerous everywhere and probably one of the last guys you want standing in front of you when he’s fresh. The numbers tell you a lot about what Hernandez wants to do. Fluffy averages 5.88 takedowns per 15 minutes, with a 48% takedown accuracy, and averages 1.6 submission attempts per 15 minutes. That’s not just “I’m going to shoot a couple of times and see what happens.” His entire game is built around constantly forcing you to defend something. And that’s where I think this fight gets really interesting. Rodrigues has a 75% takedown defence, which is excellent, and he’s also the bigger man at 6’3”. He’s not going to be easy to simply grab and hold down. But Hernandez doesn’t necessarily need to land one clean takedown and control Rodrigues for five minutes. He can shoot, force Rodrigues to defend, transition to the clinch, work the body, attack another takedown and make Rodrigues carry his weight. That’s the Hernandez fight. The longer it goes, the more I trust Fluffy. We’ve already seen him turn fights into absolute wars against guys like Roman Dolidze and Michel Pereira, where his pressure and pace eventually became overwhelming. Against Dolidze, Hernandez landed 9 of 11 takedown attempts and finished the fight with a rear-naked choke in Round 4. Against Pereira, he put together over 15 minutes of control before eventually finishing him with ground-and-pound in the fifth. But Rodrigues is a completely different problem. He’s dangerous enough that Hernandez can’t afford to just walk forward recklessly. Robocop averages 5.53 significant strikes landed per minute, and his power is a genuine equaliser. He’s also coming off three straight wins, including a knockout over Brunno Ferreira. And this is probably the biggest question of the fight: Can Rodrigues hurt Hernandez badly enough early that the pressure never gets going? Hernandez has the better pace, the higher-volume grappling game and, in my opinion, the more sustainable style over 25 minutes. Rodrigues is also coming into a five-round main event for the first time, while Hernandez has already gone deep in five-round fights. That’s a factor I don’t want to overlook. Hernandez is coming off the loss to Sean Strickland, which snapped an eight-fight winning streak, but I don’t think that fight tells us much about how this matchup plays out. Strickland forced Hernandez into a predominantly striking fight, whereas Rodrigues is giving Hernandez a completely different set of opportunities with the clinch and grappling exchanges. So for me, the first five minutes are the most dangerous part of this fight for Hernandez. If Rodrigues catches him early, we could be looking at a completely different result. But if Hernandez survives that initial danger and starts chaining his wrestling together, I think the fight begins to snowball. Round 2 becomes harder for Rodrigues. Round 3 becomes harder again. And by Round 4, I can see Hernandez drowning him in pressure, clinch work, takedowns and ground-and-pound. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rodrigues has his moments early, he’s far too dangerous for me to predict an easy fight. But over 25 minutes, I trust Hernandez’s pace, wrestling and ability to make opponents work more than I trust Rodrigues to maintain the same level of effectiveness. Prediction - Anthony "Fluffy" Hernandez by Submission Round 4.

Pico is going to run through Allen. 1. The body shots, Pico’s left hook to the body will be a problem for Allen. Allen relies a lot on his movement and ability to create space, and Pico constantly coming forward and digging to the body will slow him down and make those exits much harder as the fight goes on. 2. Boxing into the double leg, Pico is really good at mixing the two together. He can pressure Allen with combinations and get him reacting to the hands, then suddenly drop in on the double leg. That’s what makes him tricky Allen can’t just focus on the boxing because the takedown threat is always there. 3. The forward pressure, This is probably the biggest thing. Allen hasn’t looked at his best when he’s been forced onto the back foot, and Pico is naturally going to push the pace and take the fight to him. With the combinations, body shots and wrestling threat all coming together, Allen is constantly going to have something to deal with. TLDR: Allen got dropped by a jab from Movsar, keep pretending Pico has more durability issues you’re in for a rude awakening. Pico 30-27 or a late TKO

Arnold Allen’s 3 biggest weapons against Pico: 1) Step In knee: Allen closes distance while jumping and throwing a knee, Pico has been caught by this before and he jumps out of range when threatened by this. 2) Teep to the body: Allen regularly throws a stabbing kick at his opponents stomach while at kicking range, the way he throws the teep makes it hard for Pico to catch as it’s disguised by his stance. The teep and knee usually have the same setup. This setup then opens up Allen to throw a straight punch (like we saw against Melky) 3) Allen’s ability to find space: Allen consistently found space with Movsar on his back and popped back up, after becoming comfortable in his ability to get up he started throwing a knee. Allen’s ability to granby roll with Jean Silva on his back allowed him to escape the body lock and get back to his feet. TLDR: Aaron Pico is chinny and defensively irresponsible, he’s getting chinned in r2.
