Karyn Bryant, Alan Jouban and Michael Chiesa make their predictions for three of the biggest fights at UFC 288 and also select …
next week is going to be a big one at UFC 288 so we wanted to kind of try something new here take it and make it so what we’re going to do guys is the three fights on the UFC 288 card you’re going to tell me who’s going to take the fight meaning who’s going to win and then you’re going to make a fight for that person the next one so Alan give us a take it and make it your take it and make it for 288. well my take it and make it KB for UFC 288 I’m gonna go with the man himself Triple C sojudo the I fight IQ the explosiveness that he has the confidence in his hands it could be something like the song you don’t fight if you can’t take suhuru down you got to stand with him he is so good I think he might do enough he will do enough I think he’s my pick to get the win there and then I already know what he wants he wants the guy that everyone wants he wants that fight with sugar Shawn O’Malley he’s the biggest name he’s the biggest raw in that Division and he’s probably the best matchup for an Olympic wrestler to go against baby yeah I like I like mean there’s you know it’s it’s going to be a close fight the funny thing is I don’t really have much of a different pick in the main event when it comes to who this person is going to fight next but I’ll save it for my graphic I’ll keep mine oh no here we go here we go obviously I’m picking knowledge main Sterling to win in the main event and it’s the same as you Alan I mean it’s the money fight it’s the guy at the top of the Heap that’s not named Rob Davos feely it’s Sean O’Malley and it is the fight that makes sense he’s coming off the win over Peter gone he’s the Marquee name in this division he’s one of the superstars in the UFC that’s got a lot of eyes on him uh and it’s just kind of a no-brainer especially when you’re not going to face your teammate who’s ahead of Sean O’Malley I mean that’s just a fight to make it’s a no-brainer okay you don’t want to go through your others I will you know with my other ones I picked Burns over Muhammad this was really tough for me because I feel like if Bilal had a full Camp I feel like he could pull it up I think he would win the fight but the fact that burns is rolling you know 3-0 2-0 this year this is his third fight in 2023 Muhammad’s coming off Ramadan there’s so many things going against him but if there’s one person that’s mentally tough enough to overcome those adversities it would be below it’s just going to be a tough fight for him and then in the last one moves are of loiev Beats Bryce Mitchell and he fights Ortega next look Mozart Floyd is undefeated this was a fight that I think that he was a little bit reluctant to take and look Danny rubison said you’re gonna fight Bryce Mitchell this is the fight it was supposed to happen before and look this guy needs to push the problem is he’s you know when these guys got the V at the end of their name nobody wants to fight him like they’re like uh no I don’t want to fight this guy but look he goes out there and beats Bryce Mitchell I would love to see the grappling match between right Brian T Sydney Ortega versus Mozart of lawyer for people that that don’t know of Lloyd’s brother is a Greco-Roman gold medalist in wrestling so it’s a it’s wrestling versus Jujitsu it’s the foundation of the UFC that’s what I want to see that would be a fight I’d be really even the Bryce Mitchell fight I mean that’s going to be some tremendous grappling kids here’s my ticket to make it and look at these things are tough folks these are tough but I’m gonna say the ban away title is gonna stay with Al Jermaine Sterling my Jamaican Countryman there so he is going to keep the title and afterwards he will fight sugar Shawn O’Malley now in the straw wake Division I this is gonna be tough it’s not going to be easy but I do think Jessica andrage can beat yon xiaon if so we can give her the trilogy fight with rose Nama yunus right as like a title Eliminator look at a lot of rematches for Jessica and drives right the woman’s not not the time yeah I’m gonna uh and then you know Michael I gotta be honest with you I’m gonna say that Bryce Mitchell is going to defeat mobstar if Loya and I kind of hate to do this to my boy Calvin kater because I love him but on the comeback fight for Calvin cater maybe we do the Striker versus Grappler thing with him and Bryce Mitchell Bryce it would be a jump up for him in the rankings um it would be tougher competition for him the timing could work out give Calvin a little bit more time still to heal up um you know I’m looking you dead in the face right now and I love thug nasty yeah you really think that he’s going to be Mozart’s lawyer I mean you know he was on a tear he lost that one to Elia I feel like he’s gonna regroup Recon back for some the guys how many twister how many Twisters do we have in the UFC Michael Kim Jong there’s like three right so I’m just gonna say I feel like Bryce maybe is gonna make you know it’s win or learn right so he’s gonna level up after that one he’s gonna have to take him down yeah to get to that twister position watch out for those flying knees and everything I get it Michael I didn’t say it was gonna
