Abbey vs. Johnson🔥
Darion Abbey🇺🇸 (7-4)
KO/TKO's: 4
SUB's: 2
DEC's: 1
Opponents combined record: 77-51-1
Donte Johnson🇺🇸 (5-0)
KO/TKO's: 5
SUB's: 0
DEC's: 0
Opponents combined record: 13-27
PICK: Abbey (RD1 TKO)
People might think Johnsons movement should help him coast past someone like Abbey who has been finished by KO/TKO 3 times and dropped even more but he's at a power and 6 inch height disadvantage in this fight against a natural Heavyweight.
Pérez vs. Sousa🔥
Cristian Pérez🇲🇽 (13-1)
KO/TKO's: 4
SUB's: 6
DEC's: 3
Opponents combined record: 124-96-2
Manoel Sousa🇧🇷 (12-1)
KO/TKO's: 7
SUB's: 3
DEC's: 2
Opponents combined record: 142-61-2
PICK: Sousa (DEC)
I think both are currently UFC level, both are experienced and well rounded so this is very hard to call but Sousa has already shown a level of skill which has gotten him a win over Mauricio Ruffy by KO.
Lorenz vs. Yakhyaev🔥
Alik Lorenz🇺🇸 (6-1)
KO/TKO's: 5
SUB's: 1
DEC's: 0

Abdulrakhman Yakhyaev🇹🇷 (6-0)
KO/TKO's: 2
SUB's: 3
DEC's: 1
Opponents combined record: 26-12
PICK: Yakhyaev (RD1 SUB)
Lorenz has a style that could make this more difficult than most are thinking with his pressure and volume but I still believe in Yakhyaev's grappling advantage.
