The King Owl Predictions

Eddie Alvarez vs Dustin Poirier: I believe that Alvarez manages to reduce the pace of the fight considerably to undermine Poirier's style and score gradually, winning in the decision. Alvarez should have no problem in takedown Poirier and keeping him on the ground for as long as he needs to. He can work well on leg kicks to undermine Poirier. Dominate the fight in the clinch and leave victorious by points in the decision of the judges. If the two fighters forget to defend themselves and decide to strike madly, I believe that Alvarez wins with a knockout, to better absorb the strikes and to have a better chin than Poirier. Eddie Alvarez win @2.05 (+105)

Frankie Edgar vs Yair Rodríguez: Yair has never faced anyone like Edgar. Never faced anyone with the level of boxing that the American has. Never faced anyone with the level of wrestling that the American has. Frankie Edgar can knock the Mexican down any time he wants and keep the fight on the ground until next month. The size of Yair will also be no problem, since Edgar is accustomed to always be the little one. Edgar can beat Yair in all areas in this fight.

Even though he had not made his best exhibition in his last fight, Frankie Edgar did just enough to win. If Yair gives work, the American has everything to win another fight. Yair will probably strike using distance, but I believe Frankie Edgar will find the time still in the first round. If Yair chooses to use the low kicks, he will end up easing Edgar's job of getting a takedown. I can not see a victory for Yair in this fight, of course taking an unexpected knockout. Frankie Edgar win @1.77 (-130)

Demian Maia vs Jorge Masvidal: I believe in the Brazilian's victory. Masvidal will end up accepting Demian Maia's gameplan and will be finalized. I do not see Masvidal running away from the grid, or running from the clinch attempts, or trying to get up when he's on the ground. I see the American pounding even when the situation is bad for him. Only now he's facing Demian Maia. The Brazilian has not lost any chance to finish his opponents.

In my opinion, it is very likely that Maia ends up winning by submission. Even if it's only three rounds, at some point Masvidal will make a mistake. If the Brazilian fails in their takedown attempts, he would still be able to score better in the first two rounds for controlling the fight. Demian Maia win @2.10 (+110)

Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs Jéssica Andrade: My prediction for the fight is that Andrade follow in the footsteps of Joanna's last opponents and can score better in the first two rounds. Because the Brazilian does not have experience in five-round fights, it is very likely that Joanna can score better in the fourth and fifth rounds. It would be the third round to decide who will get the belt. That is when my bet happens. I think Andrade can win the first three rounds and take the belt home. She has enough cardio to fight well for three consecutive rounds and beat Joanna. In addition, there is the possibility of getting a knockdown or even a submission, since Joanna is usually thrown to the ground over three to four times in the first rounds. Andrade can get hold of Joanna on the grid, knockdown and manage to finalize the fight still in the beginning. Jéssica Andrade win (+135)

Jéssica Andrade is listed at 5'2 but she looked small compaird to Angela Hill who is listed at 5'3 who was a former World Kickboxing Association champion. Jéssica Andrade is going to have alot of problems with Joanna Jędrzejczyk height and reach advantage. Joanna Jedrzejczyk last 3 fghts have gone the distance. To me Joanna Jedrzejczyk best weapon is her front kick to keep Jéssica Andrade from shooting or using her boxing skills, just and frustrait Andrade. Jéssica Andrade likes charge at her opponents and fight at close range but Joanna Jędrzejczyk Thai boxing experience and size will give her the advatage, Jéssica Andrade will be eating knees in the clinch like fat girls eat cake.
Jéssica Andrade puts together nice 3 and 4 punch combos, bit after that she is going to get cracked in the face and is going to be bloody. Joanna Jędrzejczyk has more experience and is going to jab and front kick her was to a decision.
