Much like his brother, who has had success in the UFC, Cezary relies heavily on his striking and knockout power, but his ground game remains a major liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Against strikers, his hands and finishing ability make him dangerous, but when he\u2019s forced to grapple, he\u2019s been exposed. His recent loss to Rasulov was a perfect example \u2014 he was taken down and held on the mat for the entire fight without much resistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Theo Haig brings the exact kind of game that can exploit those weaknesses. He\u2019s more aggressive with his takedowns than someone like Rasulov, and once on top, he works for ground-and-pound or submission opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If he can get Cezary down early and keep him there, Oleksiejcuk\u2019s striking edge becomes irrelevant. For me, the path to victory is much clearer for Haig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unless Cezary lands the perfect punch before the takedown comes, Haig should be able to grind him out and potentially finish on the mat. At +250, Haig is a live underdog and the side worth playing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Samuel Silva -185 v Mandel Nallo +160 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Samuel Silva comes in as the favorite here, and while the line looks fair, it\u2019s not one I\u2019d be eager\u00a0to bet. Mandel Nallo brings some experience from his Bellator run, but at 33 years old, it feels\u00a0 like his best days are behind him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He\u2019s beaten a few low-level opponents recently, but before that suffered several losses in Bellator. His strengths are clinch work, submissions, and effective leg\u00a0kicks, but again, much of that success has come against weaker competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Silva, on the other hand, is fresh off a five-round battle with Hardwick, who is a very strong\u00a0fighter, and Silva looked solid in that fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n His striking showed promise, though his striking\u00a0 defense was questionable, and that remains his biggest liability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Against a crafty veteran like\u00a0Nallo, that could leave openings. Still, Silva\u2019s volume, pace, and higher-level recent competition\u00a0give him the edge here.\u00a0The pick is Silva, but with the defensive concerns and the price, it\u2019s a pass from a betting\u00a0standpoint<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eduardo Henrique -145 vs An Tuan Ho +125\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t blink in this one \u2014 both Eduardo Henrique and An Tuan Ho are dynamic strikers who thrive in chaos, and it\u2019s hard to see this fight going the distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Henrique\u2019s striking is powerful\u00a0 and efficient, with devastating knockout ability, and he\u2019s shown the toughness to eat shots in\u00a0order to close the distance. His last fight also displayed solid takedown defense, giving him an\u00a0edge if Ho tries to mix things up.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n An Tuan Ho is no slouch, though. His only career loss came on the Contender Series against\u00a0Kavanagh, and Henrique has a striking style that\u2019s just as dangerous as Kavanagh\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ho can\u2019t\u00a0afford even a moment of sloppy defense, because Henrique has the timing and power to find the\u00a0chin and end things quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultimately, while both men bring knockout potential, Henrique\u2019s experience and heavier\u00a0 firepower tilt the matchup in his favor. Expect fireworks early, but the pick is Henrique to land the cleaner, more decisive shots and get the win<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n David Mgoyan -210 vs Tommy McMillen +180\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n David Mgoyan comes in as the betting favorite, and while the upside is clear, there are still some\u00a0 questions around his experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At just 21 years old, Mgoyan has shown solid takedowns,\u00a0legitimate power when he connects, and the ability to push a fast pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The concerns with him\u00a0 are mostly his youth and potential vulnerabilities \u2014 particularly his struggles with leg kicks,\u00a0which more seasoned opponents could look to exploit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tommy McMillen is a bit of a wild card. There isn\u2019t a ton of film available on him, but he\u2019s\u00a0demonstrated dangerous submissions thanks to his long legs and arms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The concern, however, is\u00a0 whether his striking is developed enough to keep Mgoyan honest on the feet. If McMillen can\u2019t\u00a0threaten standing, Mgoyan\u2019s pressure and wrestling may eventually wear him down.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultimately, Mgoyan\u2019s training situation tips the scales here. He works with American Top Team\u00a0 and trains alongside Armen Tsarukyan, which speaks volumes about his development and preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If ATT is backing him, the expectation is that he\u2019s on the right trajectory. Given the\u00a0skillset and the high-level camp behind him, the lean is with Mgoyan to get the win<\/strong>, though McMillen\u2019s submission game makes him a live dog if the fight hits the mat in the right positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jean Paul Lebosnoyani enters this matchup as the clear favorite, and it\u2019s easy to see why. He\u2019s going to have the speed advantage on the feet, with sharper, cleaner striking and far better\u00a0movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While his record looks strong, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s faced elite competition yet, but the\u00a0tools he brings are legitimate \u2014 he\u2019s fast, shifty, and carries enough power to end fights.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jack Congdon, on the other hand, is as tough as they come. He\u2019s shown the ability to eat a lot of\u00a0 damage, keep pushing forward, and fight through adversity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, while he has good power, it tends to be predictable and not well set up. His style is a bit clunky, and against a striker with\u00a0Lebosnoyani\u2019s speed and timing, it\u2019s a real liability.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the end, Congdon\u2019s toughness may keep him in the fight for a while, but the skill gap is hard\u00a0 to ignore. Lebosnoyani\u2019s speed, footwork, and striking versatility should prove too much, and he\u00a0 has the power to finish if the opportunities open up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This looks like a comfortable win for\u00a0Lebosnoyani<\/strong>, and I don\u2019t see many paths for Congdon to pull the upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SPECIAL OFFER FOR FIRST TIME SUBSCRIBERS<\/p>\n <\/div>\n Jack Condon vs Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani:<\/strong> Dana White’s Contender Series Main Event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
