For me this bout comes down to whether Chikadze can prove that he’s a legitimate force at featherweight. Will his quickness, precision and diversity befuddle Barboza? With Barboza it’s my judgement that we can predict more effectively what we’re going to get from him based on the pedigree of his past opponents coupled with his performances in each. This has PhD written all over it.

Another fight where I am going to need to watch Lee execute an elite effort for more than seven plus minutes. He may not need to which will only prolong the question’s I have regarding his cardio and mental aptitude. What I can assure you Daniel Rodriguez will mortgage his farm in order to carry this bout into the second round. From there Lee will be easier to time on his way in to engage which will make him susceptible to Rodriguez’s bludgeoning striking attack. I’m intrigued by the under in this bout also.
Rodriguez +130
Di Chirico looks the part and acted the part in his last fight but his prior efforts were uninspiring even to a ‘paisan’ countryman like myself.
How this fighter is -240 over anyone of legitimate ability within the division is vexing to me. The Italian is the younger, taller and longer fighter coming off a surprising and exhilarating win. Di Chirico’s confidence is high but I’m not so certain it should be.
Alhassan recently has done nothing but poop his pants. He’s looked slow, lethargic and perplexed in his last couple fights but this may be a perfect situation for him. Both of these men were preparing for other fighters before they came together and agreed to earn and took one another on as opponents.
Di Chirico goes from a Russian vice grip to a compact power puncher in Alhassan who retains explosive power if not fluidity of movement. Alhassan was to fight a Brazilian grappler who had not appeared in the octagon for some time and the switch to a tall, stoic somewhat rigidly unathletic and deliberate fighter in Di Chirico may be quite a fortunate happening for the fighter from Ghana.
Alhassan’s desperation coupled with Di Chirico’s lack of fluid movement and evasive defense may work together to Alhassan’s benefit. By GAMBLOU

Emmers arrives with high pedigree, great competition faced (he’s defeated Cory Sandhagen) and an effective striking arsenal laced with a little wrestling to round him out. He holds the experience factor here and spends time with the cats at team Alpha Male so he earns the position of favorite in this fight based on physical advantages and who he’s been in the cage with
Sabatini arrives the fighter with the style to effectively compete with Emmers provided he is able to navigate Emmers’ range, enter the pocket to force the fight then and work to clasp onto Emmers. Sabatini must cut the cage and force Emmers back, against the cage then onto the mat for what fight fans are sure to hate. If Emmers is allowed to compete on the feet this fight will be short and sweet.
In order to win this battle, Sabatini must employ a constant forward pressure and high pace fight onto Emmers in order to both back the striker up then manage him to the floor where advantage will be with Sabatini. Let’s hope for a boring bout here with Sabatini in dominant top control.
