A report came out today from reporter Leonardo Guimaraes that top-ranked Bantamweight contenders Deiveson Figueiredo and Cory Sandhagen are set to face off in a main event matchup later this year. This matchup is scheduled for five rounds on May 3rd in Des Moines, Iowa.

## Announcement: Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Cory Sandhagen Bantamweight Main Event

The former Flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo will look to bounce back from his decision loss to Petr Yan late last year in Macau. Cory Sandhagen was last in action late summer in Abu Dhabi against Umar Nurmagomedov, where he lost a decision.

Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Cory Sandhagen Set For Main Event in Iowa

The UFC heads to the Emerald City this weekend as former Flyweight and Bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo headlines against Yadong Song in the main event of a stacked card from the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington. I went over that fight and every other matchup on the card to give my picks and best bets so let's get into it.

**Odds provided by Duelbits accurate as of 2/20/2025**

## Henry Cejudo +220 vs. Yadong Song -278

A pivotal matchup in the Bantamweight division goes down here in our main event. Henry Cejudo is a former Olympic wrestler who developed a unique striking style out of a karate stance, which he used to earn championships in both the Flyweight and Bantamweight divisions, although he hasn't been consistently active since his retirement back in 2020. Yadong Song is a young boxer entering his prime, who has shown serious potential, with his last fight being a close decision loss to former champion Petr Yan, where he kept the boxing close and showed good defensive grappling skills.

I like this matchup for Song as I believe he has the grappling defense to keep this standing, where he will be landing more frequently with more power.

Prediction: Song by 3rd Round TKO

## Brendan Allen +250 vs. Anthony Hernandez -323

Two top-tier Middleweight grapplers go head to head for the second time in their careers in this fun matchup. Brendan Allen is a highly skilled fighter with great submission skills and solid striking, what concerns me is his cardio looked bad against Nassourdine Imavov, and he has durability questions. Anthony Hernandez is a constant pressure grappler with insane cardio that he uses to drown opponents as he does damage and makes opponents work the entire fight.

I'll pick Hernandez to get another win over Allen, as I believe after the first round, he will be the one controlling the grappling and doing the damage. 

Prediction: Hernandez by 3rd Round TKO

## Rob Font +129 vs. Jean Matsumoto -159

A young prospect steps in to save a fight between these two Bantamweights, although it will take place at a Catchweight. Rob Font has hung around the top of the division with his tremendous high-volume boxing, although his durability is questionable, with him having been rocked badly when fighting hard hitters. Jean Matsumoto is an undefeated prospect with a few UFC wins under his belt, having shown his submission skills against Dan Argueta and then had a stand-up war with Brad Katona, showing his chin and pace, although he took a lot of damage.

I took Font as the underdog here despite his age concerns, as he will have a big advantage in the striking, and I don't see Matsumoto consistently wrestling enough to win.

Prediction: Font by Decision

## Jean Silva -556 vs. Melsik Baghdasaryan +390

Featherweight strikers clash here in this must-see matchup. Jean Silva is a powerhouse striker who is coming off an impressive pair of wins over Charles Jourdain and Drew Dober, where he showed the dangerous power in his hands and much-improved cardio from earlier performances. Melsik Baghdasaryan is a very fast kickboxer with a good kicking game, although he hasn't shown much finishing or grappling ability in the UFC.

I'll pick Silva, but at this price, I can't even think about betting on him as this is going to be a striking match where Baghdasaryan has a real chance, but the power of Silva is going to cause more damage and lead to a decision win in my mind.

Prediction: Silva by Decision

## Alonzo Menifield -238 vs. Julius Walker +190

Powerful Light Heavyweights collide in this one to open the main card. Alonzo Menifield is a strong and aggressive fighter with a well-rounded offensive attack, although his defense is a concern, with Carlos Ulberg and Azamat Murzakanov taking advantage of his aggression quickly. Julius Walker makes his UFC debut here, he is very inexperienced but is a solid athlete who has finished all six of his pro wins, having shown a decent ground game.

I'm going with Menifield here as he is the much more dangerous and experienced fighter who should have the advantage everywhere this fight goes.

Prediction: Menifield by 1st Round KO

## Ion Cutelaba +147 vs. Ibo Aslan -182

Light Heavyweight finishers will square off in this very interesting matchup. Ion Cutelaba is a wildman with big swinging striking and a solid wrestling attack, but the defense has never been his strong suit. Ibo Aslan is a powerful knockout puncher who has yet to be tested against much real competition and has a questionable ground game.

I've got Cutelaba as the underdog here, as he has a few big advantages in this fight, mainly his experience and his grappling, which I believe will lead him to a victory. With that, Ion Cutelaba is my best bet of the week. 

Prediction: Cutelaba by 2nd Round TKO (Best Bet)

## Andre Fili -109 vs. Melquizael Costa -112

All action Featherweights square off here in the featured prelim. Andre Fili is a slick and battle-tested veteran with good boxing, but his consistency has been an issue. Melquizael Costa is a solid finisher both on the feet and on the mat, although his cardio is questionable, and he hasn't had much success against solid competition.

I lean toward Fili, as I think he is the better striker and wrestler with better cardio but his durability and lack of consistent ability to string wins together makes me hesitate.

Prediction: Fili by 3rd Round TKO

## Nick Klein +700 vs. Mansur Abdul-Malik -1250

The highly anticipated debut of an exciting Middleweight prospect goes down here. Nick Klein is a solid grappler with a good submission game that he has used to finish his last three opponents, although he has yet to face any tough competition. Mansur Abdul-Malik is a very highly touted prospect who has shown thunderous power that he showed in his first-round debut knockout against Dusko Todorovic along with a strong ground game that he showed in his win on Dana White's Contender Series.

I see this being another quick finish for Abdul-Malik as he is just on another level to his opponent, as is reflected in the odds.

Prediction: Abdul-Malik by 1st Round KO

## Ricky Simon +205 vs. Javid Basharat -256

Two high-level Bantamweight grapplers will test their skills against each other here. Ricky Simon is a gritty veteran wrestler who has competed with a lot of tough competition although he has struggled recently suffering three losses in a row. Javid Basharat is a skilled prospect with slick striking and solid grappling who looks to get back in the win column after a few rough results in his last few including a decision loss where he got off to a good start but failed to separate himself against Aiemann Zahabi.

I expect a very close fight here, but I lean slightly towards Basharat with him being the younger fighter who I see having the more effective striking at range.

Prediction: Basharat by Decision

## Austin Vanderford +105 vs. Nikolay Veretennikov -128

A late addition to the card here features a new face at Welterweight. Austin Vanderford is a decently well-rounded fighter who makes his debut here on short notice coming from a long career in Bellator where he had fights with guys like Fabian Edwards and Gegard Mousasi. Nikolay Veretennikov is a tough striker with solid power coming off a loss where he showed heart against highly touted prospect Danny Barlow.

I'll pick Vanderford here as I give him the grappling edge here and I like that he has faced very tough competition outside of the UFC.

Prediction: Vanderford by Decision

## Nursulton Ruziboev -286 vs. Eric McConico +220

Middleweight finishers square off here early on the card. Nursulton Ruziboev is a dangerous striker early in fights with solid wrestling although against Joaquin Buckley his cardio was a clear issue as he was getting beat up late. Eric McConico is a solid fighter with good experience on the regional scene, although he is now in his mid-thirties making his debut and we have seen him hurt and finished several times before.

Ruziboev likely gets another early finish here as McConico is making his debut later in his career and we have seen him hurt and finished by lower-level fighters.

Prediction: Ruziboev by 1st Round KO

## Modestas Bukauskas -278 vs. Raffael Cerqueira +220

Light Heavyweight strikers kick things off in this fun matchup. Modestas Bukauskas is a solid kickboxer coming off a wild fight with Marcin Prachnio where he had to fight through some adversity to get a late submission win. Raffael Cerqueira was a dangerous and fast finisher on the regional scene but he is coming in off a disastrous debut where Ibo Aslan was able to unload on him without consequence.

I'm taking Bukauskas here as there is just no way I can pick Cerqueira after what we saw from him in his first UFC fight and Bukauskas is not an easy fight by any stretch.

Prediction: Bukauskas by 2nd Round TKO

Sean Brady Steps in For Main Event Against Leon Edwards in London

It was an incredible back-and-forth battle while it lasted, but the veteran Jared Cannonier won over Gregory Rodrigues in the fourth round of their main event matchup at the UFC Apex.

## Result: Jared Cannonier def. Gregory Rodrigues via 4th Round TKO (0:21)

Rodrigues got off to a very strong start, scoring two knockdowns in the first round and walking forward the entire time. The second round saw Cannonier start to land more often and make it an even fight through two rounds. The third saw Rodrigues begin to push back landing some good shots before a late elbow from Cannonier sent him to the canvas where he barely survived the round. It was clear at the start of the fourth that Rodrigues had not recovered and Cannonier was able to quickly jump on him and finish the fight.

Both of these fighters would create the best and most skill striking matchup in the UFC if they fight. It also could be an opportunity for a title shot for the winner if this fight. GIVE THUMBS UP IF UNCLE DANA SHOULD GIVE US THIS FIGHT👍!!!! 

Sandhagen vs Sean O’Malley is the highest level striking fight that can be made in the UFC right now 

These are some of my most confident picks I pushed Agendas for that I was wrong about. Let me know which one is the worst. 

Card: Fight Night: Prates vs. Magny 
Fight: Prates🇧🇷 vs. Magny🇺🇸 
Pick: Magny🇺🇸 (RD3 TKO) 
Notes: Was so confident Neil would take him down and drown him for a finish. 

Card: UFC 305 
Fight: Du Plessis🇿🇦 vs. Adesanya🇳🇬 
Pick: Adesanya (RD2 TKO) 
Notes: Completely overlooked the grappling credentials of DDP/didn't think he'd be able to take Izzy down easily. 

Card: UFC 304 
Fight: Edwards🇬🇧 vs. Muhammad🇺🇸 2
Pick: Edwards🇬🇧 (RD2 TKO) 
Notes: Legit was leaning Belal by decision until for some reason I gained major confidence in Leon because he was annoyed at Muhammad? Super casual mindset going into this one. 

Card: UFC 303 
Fight: Alex Pereira🇧🇷 vs. Jiří Procházka🇨🇿 2
Pick: Procházka🇨🇿 (RD2 SUB) 
Notes: This one is especially bad because it wasn't my first time picking Jiří by sub...it was my second. Truly bad stuff here.

Card: UFC 298 
Fight: Volkanovski🇦🇺 vs. Topuria🇪🇸 
Pick: Volkanovski🇦🇺 (DEC) 
Notes: I knew Volk wasn't winning this fight, knew he wasn't gonna win every time I said he would in a comment on Verdict/Twitter but I did it anyway trying to will it into existence. Don't regret this one.

Card: UFC 295 
Fight: Pavlovich🇷🇺 vs. Aspinall🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 
Pick: Pavlovich (RD1 TKO) 
Notes: The happiest I've ever been to be wrong! Was so worked up about Tom's striking defense being poor that I thought he would get put down the first time he was caught. 

Card: UFC 293 
Fight: Adesanya🇳🇬 vs. Strickland🇺🇸 
Pick: Adesanya🇳🇬 (DEC) 
Notes: Pretty sure I made on post on Verdict saying if Izzy didn't win by DEC it'd be by a perfectly timed question mark kick KO because I was so confident Sean would get worked. Proved me wrong with ease. 

Card: UFC 285 
Fight: Jones🇺🇸 vs. Gane🇫🇷 
Pick: Gane (DEC) 
Notes: In my opinion my worst pick EVER. I thought Jon would be ultra washed after a 3 year layoff and that Gane would have enough movement to not be taken down without punishing Jones, LMAO. 

Card: UFC 274 
Fight: Oliveira🇧🇷 vs. Gaethje🇺🇸 
Pick: Gaethje🇺🇸 (RD2 TKO) 
Notes: Didn't believe Charles had anything for Justin on the feet or that he'd be able to take him down. 

Card: UFC 267 
Fight: Błachowicz🇵🇱 vs. Teixeira🇧🇷 
Pick: Błachowicz🇵🇱 (RD3 TKO) 
Notes: Not only did I not think Jan would be taken down, I also thought I was being generous thinking Glover would last until the third.

Fun Fact Friday , Fighters are more educated than all other pro sports 

Israel Adesanya responds to people saying he’s “washed”. 

A lot of people seem to believe Ankalaev’s path to winning is through grappling, but how much of a threat is he really with 0 career submissions and only 4 takedowns across 14 Ufc fights?

Is Magomed Ankalaev a ground threat to Alex Pereira? Thoughts?

Brendan Allen (24-6) is a grappler with good takedowns and scrambles. He's a great back taker and constantly chases and acquires rear naked chokes. On the feet, he is okay, sticking with basic combinations and volume punches with his hands and throws the occasional body kick, which I like. The flaws I see in his game are #1 that he fades in fights where he's grappling for long periods in time, shown when Chris Curtis was able to out scramble him in moments late in their rematch. #2 is that Allen is not good moving backward and has been finished because of it. His defense needs to be sharp so he doesn't get caught. Anthony Hernandez (13-2) has a win over Allen back in the LFA. He combines striking and grappling arguably the best at 185. On the feet, everything he does is to assist his takedowns, pressing forward and throwing volume combinations. He has good takedowns, scrambles, and attacks submissions just as much as Allen. When people try to stand up, he ruins their posture, and by the time they get up, he is willing to shoot on a high volume for 5 rounds. My worry is that most of his wins are over guys who aren't good grapplers, and his most recent performance was quite overrated in terms of showing if he's ready for the top of 185. My pick is Fluffy by decision. 

Allen vs. Hernandez 2 prediction

These MMA Wiki fans are wildin, Look at what they did to Mario Bautistas page 😭

"All Islam needs is 2 months to prepare for anybody. He's not gonna care who he fights...

He's not gonna say no [to Ilia]. If that's who they offer, if that's who's on the table for Islam, that's what Islam's gonna do. That's just the way he is, he's a true warrior...

We're champion, we're #1 for a reason. We're not supposed to reject any person they throw in front of you."

(via. @SubmissionRadio) #UFC #MMA

Islam Makhachev's coach, Javier Mendez, says Islam wouldn't turn down a fight against Ilia Topuria if it was offered to him:

Seems Davis just didn’t want to make excuses for his loss and keep it on the low after the fight. This would explain his unwillingness to box and constant effort to pull guard.

Huge news! I live in Upstate New York near where Mike Davis grew up and got informed that Davis had a broken hand going into the Ziam fight.
