UFC Vegas 16 Video/Podcast Breakdown
We’re bringing you a video/podcast breakdown for the UFC Vegas 16 Card this weekend! Make sure to check out our written article on the site, too!
Main Card
Hermansson vs Vettori– The Main Event! Vettori is the younger fighter who is in his prime. Vettori is an excellent striker who can come at you in multiple ways. He is so quick on the feet and is a cardio machine. Hermansson is an amazing grappler and wrestler that you don’t want to mess with. He can submit anyone and everyone. If this comes down to grappling then I am giving the huge edge to Hermansson. If this is based on striking then it is for sure Vettori if he can defend the takedown which he is good at. This fight is close to me and I am giving the slight edge to Vettori based on the prime of his but Hermansson could certainly submit him.
OSP vs Hill– The CO-Main Event! OSP is the more experienced fighter facing the young prospect from DWCS in Hill. OSP is an underrated fighter and tough as nails with submission skills. Hill is an active fighter on the feet and quick as can be. I am liking the grappling in OSP for sure who is ready for this fight more so than Hill. I don’t think Hill will see what is coming from OSP. Hill isn’t on the level where OSP is. Give me OSP doing the OSP signature submission!
De la Rosa vs Santos– Female fight and here we go! Santos has an mixed of great fighting techniques in grappling plus striking. De la Rosa is an young fighter and is a tough fighter that will try to hang in this fight but she isn’t ready for this fight to be honest. De la Rosa will able to do whatever in this fight and don’t see how she can lose this fight with her grappling.
Dolidze vs Allan– Allan will look to get in Dolidze face and has decent power for sure. Dolodze is an heavy striker and is getting better at takedowns. Allan will want to take him down which we will see Dolidze defend it at an great pace. I like Dolidze is the more polished fighter!
Landwehr vs Evloev– This is an interesting fight by far. Landwehr was in a bloody fight with Elkins where he looked okay to me. Landwehr hands are slow but the grappling was decent based on his strength. Evloev is an legit prospect that I like. His hands are great and will outdo Landwehr. Evloev should be able to get Landwehr to the mat with his amazing takedown technique. Give me Evloev to handle this fight!
Prelims
Villante vs Collier– Jake Collier is still so overweight like wow, rumors are he is more in shape but based on last fight he was overweight by far. Villante looked decent last fight and just got caught in an bad submission. Villante should win this fight and his striking has looked great. The power is in his hands have looked great and I am all in on the more cut guy in Villante.
Wiman vs Leavitt– Wiman man oh man….what has he become. Wiman USED to be an hell of an fighter but the guy is washed up to be honest. He is 37 years old and I can’t get to him at all based on recent form. I just can’t get to him. Leavitt is an nasty submission artist that I like a ton. This guy is an excellent fighter on the mat and fight IQ is so high. He is fresh on his feet and smooth on the mat. I like Leavitt a ton and this is his fight to win by far.
Flick vs Durden– Both guys are trying to gain credit in the UFC so this fight will be good! Flick is a submission machine and that is what he is good at. Flick will want you on the mat and that is his goal. Durden will also want the fight on the mat so that will be where this fight takes place. Durden is also an boxer so Flick will need to watch out for that. The odds don’t show this fight close but to be honest it is. To me this is an 50/50 fight.
Topuria vs Jackson– Topuria is an young fighter who is on the rise by far. He beat Zalal and grappled him a ton. Topuria grappling is underrated to be honest while the hands are quick. Topuria has the making of being an great fighter down the road and a guy I am high on. Jackson is the older fighter coming into this fight. Jackson is also an grappler and looking great in recent fights. He is an cardio machine and can hang in the later rounds. I am all in on the younger fighter in Topuria!
Benitez vs Jaynes– Justin Jaynes! Check out the interview of him on my youtube channel but anyways here we go! This fight is gonna be explosive. Benitez is a sneaky fighter and can take down fighters, that’s his key. Benitez is confident. Jaynes on the other hand has great hands and powerful fighter. Jaynes is ready for this fight and the gassing out won’t be there while Benitez will be quick on the mat. If Jaynes can clip him with a powerful punch then this is his fight to win. Jaynes is gonna hang with Benitez and I am taking the boy in Jaynes.
Smolka vs Quinonez– First fight of the night and here we go! This fight is close and Quinonez is an heck of an fighter. Quinonez is an heavy striker and has fought great fighters in his resume. Smolka is overrated to me based on his fight history plus the weight cutting issues he had last fight. Smolka is such an boom/bust option that is hard to trust to me. Quinonez should be able to clip him and earn an knockout win.
