Well, Felder isn’t exactly a gimme’ fight for anyone in the UFC Lightweight Division, and Oliveira may very well be overwhelmed by the bigger man.
Regardless, Felder tends to coast in fights where he’s leading on points, and that in turn may help Oliveira survive till the final bell.
Prediction: Paul Felder def. Charles Oliveira via Decision
#2 Alex Oliveira vs Yancy Medeiros
Alex ‘Cowboy’ Oliveira returns to the Octagon against Yancy Medeiros in a matchup of two aggressive strikers. One ought to note that the Brazilian Cowboy is both a great striker in the lead and also as a counter-striker.
Medeiros has the edge in the grappling department, and that may play a role in this matchup should this fight go to the ground. However, Oliveira has great Takedown-Defense, and this fight may very well play out on the feet.
Medeiros isn’t a defensive savant in the standup, and Oliveira snipes foes on the feet. Expect Oliveira to catch Medeiros coming into boxing range for the TKO victory.
Prediction: Alex Oliveira def. Yancy Medeiros via TKO
#3 David Teymur vs Drakkar Klose
David Teymur is an excellent kickboxer and has adapted his striking very well to MMA.
Meanwhile, Drakkar Klose is a well-rounded combatant, who’s comfortable wherever the fight takes place. Teymur is likely to take this one, as he’ll outwork Klose in the standup while avoiding the ground.
Prediction: David Teymur def. Drakkar Klose via Decision
#4 Felice Herrig vs Courtney Casey
Felice Herrig claims to have worked incredibly hard on her mental game and looks to ascend to the mid-tier of the UFC Straw-weight Division with a win over Courtney Casey.
Casey is a tough scrapper, but not as polished as Herrig—both in the grappling as well as the striking. Look for Herrig to outpoint Casey in a fairly slow bout.
Prediction: Felice Herrig def. Courtney Casey via Decision
