Bones’s most recent graded UFC / MMA picks
These are graded model outputs; historical replay and closing-price rows are not described as preposted wagers. Losing results are never removed. Bones has 1737 graded picks on the record.
Mike Malott vs Joaquin Buckley — Bones took Mike Malott at -132
2026-10-17 · UFC Fight Night: Buckley vs. Malott · PASS
Won. Mike Malott won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Buckley's documented knockout power, which often lands late (R3 finishes over Thompson, Covington and Arroyo), meets Malott's documented late fade. Malott visibly slowed in round 3 against Magny and was finished there, he has never fought past 15 minutes, and this is a 5-round fight against someone who has already gone 25 minutes with Usman.
Erin Blanchfield vs Jasmine Jasudavicius — Bones took Erin Blanchfield at -335
2026-10-17 · UFC Fight Night: Buckley vs. Malott · PASS
Lost. Jasmine Jasudavicius won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Jasudavicius uses her size to win the fence and clinch battle and runs the same 450s+ control grind she used against Maverick, Karine Silva and Fernandes. That would cancel out Blanchfield's grappling and take a 29-28 decision at home over 3 rounds, where Blanchfield's 5-round pace edge counts for less.
Kyle Nelson vs Cristian Pérez — Bones took Cristian Pérez at -340
2026-10-17 · UFC Fight Night: Buckley vs. Malott · PASS
Won. Cristian Pérez won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Nelson's UFC-tested striking and KO power (6 KO wins, a KD over Frevola) beat up a hittable Pérez. Pérez was stopped by punches in R3 by Manoel Sousa even after building 466s of control, and Paxton landed 45 of 71 (63%) on him, so if Nelson gets through the early exchanges he can catch Pérez fading late.
Kyle Daukaus vs Marc-Andre Barriault — Bones took Marc-Andre Barriault at +165
2026-10-17 · UFC Fight Night: Buckley vs. Malott · PASS
Won. Marc-Andre Barriault won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Daukaus closes distance, gets to the front headlock or top control, and finishes Barriault the way Hernandez did (arm triangle after 525s of control). That is his signature D'Arce game landing on Barriault's repeated control-time losses.
Brendan Allen vs Christian Leroy Duncan — Bones took Christian Leroy Duncan at +100
2026-10-10 · UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan · PASS
Lost. Brendan Allen won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Allen wins the scrambles and takes Duncan's back over five rounds, and his rear naked choke finishes a fighter whose submission defence has never been tested on tape. Duncan concedes long control (500s to Rodrigues in a loss, plus 427s and 372s in his two latest wins), sits passively on his back, and has never fought past round three in the UFC, where the tape shows his output fading.
Jai Herbert vs Matheus Camilo — Bones took Matheus Camilo at -190
2026-10-10 · UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan · PASS
Lost. Jai Herbert won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Herbert has an 8" reach edge and documented KO power (Nallo R1 in 2026). He could land on Camilo's taped habit of backing straight to the fence under blitzes with his chin exposed on exits (Ramos tape). He could also catch Camilo's level changes with intercepting knees.
Ketlen Souza vs Loopy Godínez — Bones took Loopy Godínez at -240
2026-10-10 · UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan · PASS
Won. Loopy Godínez won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Godínez enters with a dip-and-overhand right and over-commits on level changes (tape: she gave her back to Penne off an entry). Souza's counter left hook and stepping overhand right have already produced UFC knockdowns (Jauregui, Carnelossi). One clean counter on an entry ends the fight or flips the round before the grind builds.
Andre Fili vs Kai Kamaka III — Bones took Kai Kamaka III at +128
2026-10-10 · UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan · BET
Lost. Andre Fili won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Fili's standing counter-punching (10 KO wins, the Almeida R1 KO, the hook knockdown vs Delgado) lands on Kamaka's documented standing-chin flaw: he was punched out in R1 by Luke Riley in July 2026, and his tape shows a dropping lead hand and squared feet in pocket exchanges.
Otari Tanzilovi vs Malcolm Wellmaker — Bones took Otari Tanzilovi at +185
2026-10-10 · UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan · BET
Won. Otari Tanzilovi won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Wellmaker's documented counter right hand, which timed the entries for the Bramhald and Hughes knockouts, could land on Tanzilovi's documented habits: he shoots reactive doubles under incoming strikes with his head exposed, and he backs straight up with his chin raised under flurries.
Gerald Meerschaert vs Julius Walker — Bones took Julius Walker at -310
2026-10-10 · UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan · PASS
Won. Julius Walker won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Walker's takedown and clinch entries feed Meerschaert's signature submission game. On tape, Walker let his head slip outside in the fence clinch and gave up a guillotine (Essley), and he conceded his back with hooks for long spells (Bartling). Meerschaert finishes exactly those positions with guillotines, rear-naked chokes and arm triangles.
Ismael Bonfim vs Francisco Prado — Bones took Ismael Bonfim at +120
2026-10-10 · UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan · PASS
Lost. Francisco Prado won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Prado gets top position or a front headlock in rounds 2 or 3. He has finished with RNC, guillotine, triangle and shoulder choke, plus GnP. Bonfim has a repeated pattern of breaking down once the fight hits that phase: RNC by Saint Denis, D'Arce by Sola off a stalled shot, and flattened and stopped by Padilla after a tired head-low shot. Opponents also logged 123 to 201s of control on him in four UFC fights.
Niko Price vs Leon Shahbazyan — Bones took Niko Price at +116
2026-10-10 · UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan · PASS
Won. Niko Price won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Shahbazyan's guillotine/RNC submission game (11 submission wins) lands on Price's documented choke flaw: he lost by D'Arce to Luque, RNC to Jacobe Smith and RNC to Chiesa, and the tape shows him exposing his back and neck on get-ups and failing to clear a standing seatbelt.
Brendson Ribeiro vs Felipe Franco — Bones took Felipe Franco at -400
2026-10-10 · UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan · PASS
Lost. Brendson Ribeiro won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Ribeiro's documented standing knockout power (counter right, plus a 5" reach edge) lands while Franco enters with the upright head and straight-line retreat seen on tape. A secondary risk is a front-headlock guillotine (4 guillotine wins) on Franco's level change.
Allen Frye Jr. vs RJ Harris — Bones took RJ Harris at -375
2026-10-10 · UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan · PASS
Lost. Allen Frye Jr. won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Frye's documented A-game, finishing hook flurries (6 of 6 KO/TKO) behind a steady 3-round clinch engine (475s control against Pat), lands on Harris's documented upright chin, low hands and late cardio decay in long clinches. Harris was visibly hurt by punches and knees against Cleveland and faded badly in Round 3 against Green.
Daria Zhelezniakova vs Alice Pereira — Bones took Daria Zhelezniakova
2026-10-10 · UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan · PASS
Lost. Alice Pereira won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Zhelezniakova marches forward with a static head and accepts upper-body clinches without underhook prevention (Loiseau and Zutova tape), so Pereira's 3" reach edge, collar-tie plum knees, and intercepting knee (the Cowan KO) can land her documented standing knockout power on exactly that entry.
Preston LaGrange vs Nell Ariano — Bones took Nell Ariano at -500
2026-10-06 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 9 · PASS
Lost. Preston LaGrange won.
Documented risk, written before the result: LaGrange's right hand, which dropped Minner and Bryant, lands on the Ariano who was dropped clean by Nazarnia's right hand and went to turtle after an exchange against Urholin, or LaGrange finds a neck in a scramble against a fighter with an amateur submission loss and visible round 1 and round 3 fatigue.
Salhahuddin Everett vs Ozzy Martin — Bones took Ozzy Martin at +105
2026-10-06 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 9 · PASS
Lost. Salhahuddin Everett won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Everett's forward flurry and one-shot right hand land on Martin's documented habit of retreating straight back to the fence with his chin exposed (he took clean hooks from an opponent listed 0-3), or Martin goes to the mat (he fell off a high kick against Moore) and Everett takes the back or locks the triangle.
Roque Conceição vs Alexander Chavez — Bones took Alexander Chavez at -105
2026-10-06 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 9 · BET
Lost. Roque Conceição won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Conceição's overhand right, his repeat taped weapon behind 8 KO/TKO wins, lands on the upright Chavez, who was hit clean by looping overhands in two taped bouts (Guado 07:01 and 07:13, Coquinche 09:23 and 15:58).
Mateus Soares vs Ryuho Miyaguchi — Bones took Mateus Soares at -600
2026-10-06 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 9 · PASS
Won. Mateus Soares won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Miyaguchi is about five inches taller and can replay the Mackson Lee fight: catch Soares advancing with his head dipped using a straight right or intercepting knee, then finish with strikes or the front-headlock choke he hunted twice against Ishihara, the same choke family that tapped Soares.
Alivia Bierley vs Summer Onley — Bones took Summer Onley at -170
2026-10-06 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 9 · PASS
Lost. Alivia Bierley won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bierley times one of Onley's many kicks with a counter or overhand right, a shot Onley is documented absorbing (looping overhand rights at FCC 39, right hands over the top at FCC 45), with Bierley's double-leg and amateur submission game against Onley's unsampled defensive grappling as the secondary route.
Natalia Silva vs Wang Cong — Bones took Natalia Silva at -210
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · PASS
Won. Natalia Silva won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Wang's accurate volume boxing, and especially her counter straight right over an advancing opponent, out-lands a feint-heavy, lower-volume Silva over five rounds. On tape Silva gets clipped when she lunges in or exits with her chin up (Namajunas 2:38 and 10:38, Grasso 6:14 and 10:02), and her rounds against Namajunas were close (29-28 x3).
Deiveson Figueiredo vs Payton Talbott — Bones took Payton Talbott at -670
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · PASS
Won. Payton Talbott won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Figueiredo uses an inside trip or a scramble to get on top, holds Talbott down and hunts the back or a choke, which is the documented path Barcelos took (8/15 TD, 583s ctrl, Talbott mounted and giving up his back on tape) and the control-plus-RNC game Figueiredo used on Garbrandt (223s ctrl).
King Green vs Esteban Ribovics — Bones took Esteban Ribovics at -220
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · PASS
Won. Esteban Ribovics won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Green's tape shows him timing reactive level-change takedowns under incoming strikes (3 of 3 against the taller Zellhuber). That lands on Ribovics' documented hole, because both of Gamrot's takedowns came off Ribovics overextending on a forward power punch, ending in the arm-triangle loss with 410s of control against him. Radzhabov had already beaten him on control (11/21 TD, 459s ctrl). Green finishes subs too (11 submission wins, a RNC of Stephens in 2026-05).
Roberto Soldić vs Khaos Williams — Bones took Khaos Williams at +210
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · BET
Lost. Roberto Soldić won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Soldić's documented A-game, the step-in straight left down the middle after a lead-hand touch, finds Williams's upright, centreline head. Up-the-middle strikes reached Williams repeatedly on the Pereira tape, and that left has stopped higher-level opposition (Khalidov, Materla, Du Plessis) before Williams's low-output counter style gets going.
Roman Kopylov vs Ateba Gautier — Bones took Ateba Gautier at -250
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · PASS
Lost. Roman Kopylov won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Kopylov's southpaw body and head kick game (three UFC kick stoppages) and his volume could land on Gautier's documented holes. Gautier let low kicks land unchecked and slowed visibly in R2 and R3 of his only pro loss (Williams, split decision). Pulyaev's southpaw volume also outlanded him, so a durable Kopylov could win the later rounds on output or catch a fading Gautier with a kick in R3.
Alden Coria vs Imanol Rodriguez — Bones took Imanol Rodriguez at -150
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · PASS
Won. Imanol Rodriguez won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Coria wins the way he has won both UFC fights. He chains takedowns, builds control time from top and along the fence, and grinds out three rounds in front of a home crowd with the US judging lean. Rodriguez has been taken down before (Trujillo double-leg) and lost the only three-round decision on his ledger (the Morales exhibition). Round 3, sustained bottom work and submission defence are all unsampled for him, and Borjas dropped him twice.
Andrey Pulyaev vs Damian Pinas — Bones took Damian Pinas at -590
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · PASS
Won. Damian Pinas won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Pinas's clearest documented flaw is giving up takedowns along the fence after he commits to punches (twice against Gregory with about 1.5 minutes held in half guard, once against Almeida), and that lines up with Pulyaev's ground finishing record (3 ground-and-pound TKOs and 2 submissions) if Pulyaev can turn a Pinas entry into a fence takedown.
Anthony Romero vs Marcus McGhee — Bones took Marcus McGhee at -590
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · PASS
Won. Marcus McGhee won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Romero's submission finishing (two pro submission wins, including an RNC from a back take after a sprawl on a scramble against Lewis) lands on McGhee's only stoppage loss, a first-round RNC against Nascimento.
Anthony Wint vs Lucas Armand — Bones took Anthony Wint at -590
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · PASS
Won. Anthony Wint won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Armand's documented reaction to a blitz is to shell up and tie up on the fence within about 4 seconds. If he does that against Wint's linear, unset entry, he can grind the fence clinch, drag Wint down and finish with ground-and-pound or win a 3-round clinch decision. Wint's wrestling, bottom game and output past 40 seconds are unsampled, and his only full-distance pro fight was a split decision over a 1-1 opponent.
Johnny Walker vs Mick Parkin — Bones took Mick Parkin at +110
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · BET
Lost. Johnny Walker won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Walker's documented standing knockout power (flying knees, elbows, spinning strikes, punches) catches Parkin early, because on tape Parkin keeps his head still on the centre line, takes looping punches around his guard, eats teeps and body kicks without checking them, and goes flat-footed with his hands down in R3.
Jacobe Smith vs Bruce Whitehead — Bones took Jacobe Smith at -1400
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · PASS
Won. Jacobe Smith won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Smith's documented late-R1 fatigue (he absorbed clean shots while tired against Price), made worse by a 9-day camp, lets Whitehead survive the early storm and then land his counter uppercut-knee on a tired level change, or catch a guillotine or RNC in a scramble.
Rafael Dos Anjos vs Alexander Hernandez — Bones took Alexander Hernandez at -275
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · PASS
Won. Alexander Hernandez won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Dos Anjos's signature fence-clinch and takedown control grind (802s and 855s ctrl in his last decision wins, and a 2022 RNC after 396s of top control) lands on Hernandez's repeated loss to grappling-control opponents: Damon Jackson took 378s ctrl in a split decision, Rafa Garcia went 4/7 TD with 110s ctrl in a unanimous decision six months ago, and Moicano had 103s ctrl and then the RNC.
Marvin Vettori vs Ismail Naurdiev — Bones took Marvin Vettori at +102
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · PASS
Lost. Ismail Naurdiev won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Naurdiev wins by out-landing an upright Vettori on accuracy and power over three rounds, mixing in some top control. That is the profile Brunno Ferreira used to beat him 29-28 on all three cards in Dec 2025 (orthodox, 72", KO puncher), and Whittaker before him (orthodox, 73.5"). Naurdiev matches it: orthodox, 74" reach, KO-heavy, 50-61% accuracy in his UFC wins, 351s ctrl against Silva.
Court McGee vs Eric Nolan — Bones took Court McGee at +188
2026-10-03 · UFC 332 · PASS
Lost. Eric Nolan won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Nolan's counter overhand right or left hook lands on McGee as he walks in with his head upright and his left hand dropping. That is the same standing-punch phase in which McGee has been knocked out in round 1 three times (Ponzinibbio 2016, Wells 2022, Brown 2023). The Brown tape shows him KO'd by a counter right exactly that way.
Raoni Barcelos vs Raul Rosas Jr. — Bones took Raoni Barcelos at +125
2026-09-26 · UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos · PASS
Lost. Raul Rosas Jr. won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Rosas's sustained control grind (605s and 16 takedowns vs Font) builds up over five rounds against a 39-year-old. Barcelos has been controlled before (193s by Quiñonez, 85 to 97s by Simon, Henry and Talbott), his one submission loss was a rear-naked choke (2014), and 3 of Rosas's 6 submission wins are rear-naked chokes.
Norma Dumont vs Ailin Perez — Bones took Ailin Perez at -166
2026-09-26 · UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos · PASS
Won. Ailin Perez won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Dumont's size and Sanda/judo clinch game (she is 67" tall with a 67" reach against Perez's 65"/66") could turn the grappling around and produce her own documented control grind (604s vs de Randamie, 538s vs Chandler). That would hit Perez's documented habit of giving up top and back control to grapplers: the Egger RNC loss after 419s of Egger control, 311s conceded to Edwards, 249s to Pudilova, and Chiasson taking her back in R1. Perez's self-reported ankle stress fracture and knee cartilage damage ("not 100 percent") could blunt her wrestling.
Sedriques Dumas vs Luis Hernandez — Bones took Luis Hernandez at -245
2026-09-26 · UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos · PASS
Won. Luis Hernandez won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Dumas's documented standing KO power (4 KO/TKO wins, including a read-and-counter head kick on tape) and his 79" reach catch Hernandez as he walks in. Hernandez was staggered by a right hand and then dropped by a short counter left against Guillon 11 days ago, and a Games right hand disrupted his legs, so his entries are exposed to counters.
Ilimbek Akylbek Uulu vs Mehemmedeli Osmanli — Bones took Mehemmedeli Osmanli at -335
2026-09-26 · UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos · PASS
Lost. Ilimbek Akylbek Uulu won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Akylbek Uulu's documented chain-wrestling back take and RNC lands on Osmanli's documented hole. Osmanli's only pro loss is an RNC in R1, and Yunusov took him down and took his back early in R1 in November 2025.
Tina Black vs Melissa Amaya — Bones took Tina Black
2026-09-26 · UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos · PASS
Won. Tina Black won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Amaya's clinch or body-lock takedowns near the fence, followed by top ground-and-pound, land on Black's documented flaws. Black gets pinned on the fence (McCormack tape). She lost a wrestling-control decision to Rodriguez, who logged 258s of control on 3/13 takedowns. She faded and absorbed ground-and-pound from bottom late against McCormack, and this bout runs a fourth round. US judges also lean toward Amaya as the home fighter.
Brady Hiestand vs Rinya Nakamura — Bones took Rinya Nakamura at -385
2026-09-26 · UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos · PASS
Lost. Brady Hiestand won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Hiestand's documented A-game, a fence-and-top control grind like his 554s vs Garcia and 460s vs Turcios, backed by the American home-judging lean, beats a Nakamura who has been out 417 days with self-reported MCL and shoulder tendon tears; in his only loss, after an 11-month layoff, Gafurov neutralised his wrestling (0 of 1 takedowns, out-controlled 157s to 101s) and dropped him with an overhand right.
Robert Bryczek vs Rodolfo Vieira — Bones took Robert Bryczek at +145
2026-09-26 · UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos · BET
Lost. Rodolfo Vieira won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Vieira lands an early takedown and hunts an arm triangle from top position. This is his signature A-game, and it lands on Bryczek's documented bottom-game flaw. Rowston held him for 610s of control. Silva dragged him down and kept him on his back for the rest of the fight. The Tavares highlight shows a clean reactive double-leg followed by passive guard with no active escape. Bryczek also self-reports being drained by defending grappling against Rowston.
Christian Edwards vs Rodolfo Bellato — Bones took Rodolfo Bellato at -215
2026-09-26 · UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos · PASS
Lost. Christian Edwards won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Edwards could use his 6'5" length and fence-clinch control (262s against Bukauskas) to repeat what Stirling (233s of top control) and Crute (reversal to mount, 10-8 round) did to Bellato. From there he either lands top ground-and-pound on Bellato's chin-exposed guard, which has been dropped repeatedly, or banks a home-fighter 29-28 decision.
Elves Brener vs Josiah Harrell — Bones took Elves Brener at +106
2026-09-26 · UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos · BET
Won. Elves Brener won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Harrell's explosive level-change double-legs chain into chest-to-chest top pressure. That can replay Brener's Orolbai loss, where a wrestler outworked him with 5 of 17 takedowns and 432s of control. The risk grows if Brener is rusty after a 417-day layoff, and US judges lean toward the home fighter by 8.3 points if it goes to the cards.
Ricky Simon vs Montel Jackson — Bones took Ricky Simon at +200
2026-09-26 · UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos · BET
Lost. Montel Jackson won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Jackson's southpaw straight-left counter could catch Simon on one of the naked, telegraphed level changes seen on the Song tape. Simon's punch durability has a repeated flaw: KO'd by Faber, dropped twice by Song's counter left hook, and dropped by Yañez in March 2026.
Alatengheili vs John Castaneda — Bones took John Castaneda at -360
2026-09-26 · UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos · PASS
Lost. Alatengheili won.
Documented risk, written before the result: The documented flaw is Castaneda's chin in the pocket. He was knocked down by Marcos and by Gutierrez, KO'd by Santos, and his tape shows him eating straight counters with his chin exposed. Alatengheili's overhand right and counter hooks (the Croom KO, and staggering Rodrigues) could land there, and duck-under takedowns could steal the rounds in between.
Vanessa Demopoulos vs Yazmin Jauregui — Bones took Yazmin Jauregui at -900
2026-09-26 · UFC Fight Night: Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos · PASS
Won. Yazmin Jauregui won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Demopoulos's submission game could catch Jauregui on the mat. Demopoulos has armbarred people off her back, including right after being knocked down by Gomez Juarez. Jauregui's one documented ground sequence was poor: after Souza dropped her, she gave up her back without framing or hand-fighting and was choked out. Add her ~2-year layoff after ACL surgery and a knockdown or scramble could hand Demopoulos the mat.
Alexandre Pantoja vs Joshua Van: price sim took Alexandre Pantoja at +138
2026-09-19 · UFC 331 · Prediction
Lost. Joshua Van won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Van's body work and sustained boxing punish upright entries; his Taira win demonstrates effective late offense despite conceded control.
Arman Tsarukyan vs Mauricio Ruffy — Bones took Arman Tsarukyan at -320
2026-09-19 · UFC 331 · PASS
Won. Arman Tsarukyan won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Ruffy's signature pull-counter straight right (Llontop, Corneliu, Manoel, Fiziev) could meet Tsarukyan's straight-line entries and level-change setups. That flaw has been exploited before: the Belikh counter-right KO loss, the Ramazanov right hand that dropped him to a knee, the Silva left hook that disrupted him, and intercepting knees from Aubin-Mercier and Hooker. Ruffy's 75" reach against Tsarukyan's 72.5" widens the gap Tsarukyan must cross.
Patricio Pitbull vs Dooho Choi — Bones took Dooho Choi
2026-09-19 · UFC 331 · PASS
Lost. Patricio Pitbull won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Choi has a documented habit of retreating in straight lines with his head upright under combinations, and that is how Stephens and Jourdain knocked him out. Pitbull's signature counter right and lead hook are the tools that punish exactly that.
Gable Steveson vs Sean Sharaf — Bones took Gable Steveson at -2500
2026-09-19 · UFC 331 · PASS
Lost. Sean Sharaf won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Sharaf's documented round-1 overhand right or uppercut could land on Steveson while he closes distance or changes level. Steveson's extended standing defence and chin are unsampled, and in the Ellison edit his first fence double-leg was stopped, which forced him to exchange on the feet.
Alonzo Menifield vs Iwo Baraniewski — Bones took Iwo Baraniewski at -295
2026-09-19 · UFC 331 · PASS
Lost. Alonzo Menifield won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Menifield's documented one-punch power lands on Baraniewski's documented defensive hole. Against Aslan, Baraniewski threw committed hooks on the center line, was touched down by a clean right hook and was hit cleanly again, all in the standing exchange. If it goes past round 1, Menifield's decision wins over Walker and Sy, plus the home-judging lean, meet Baraniewski's completely untested cardio in rounds 2 and 3.
Marlon Vera vs Charles Jourdain — Bones took Charles Jourdain at -215
2026-09-19 · UFC 331 · PASS
Lost. Marlon Vera won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Vera's documented late kick and elbow finishing power lands on Jourdain's documented upright, linear exits under pressure, the same opening Jean Silva used for the uppercut KO. Choi also nearly finished Jourdain. Vera's dangerous guard (armbars and triangles) could also punish Jourdain's stalled shots, as happened in the Erosa D'Arce loss.
Tai Tuivasa vs Robelis Despaigne — Bones took Robelis Despaigne at -590
2026-09-19 · UFC 331 · PASS
Won. Robelis Despaigne won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Despaigne tends to retreat in a straight line when rushed (Parisian tape), his chin is essentially untested, and he took an unchecked low kick against Dos Santos. That is the opening for Tuivasa's documented A-game: low kick into a forward hook or overhand rush, then collar-tie elbows or a counter hook after absorbing a shot, as in the Lewis, Hardy and Sakai finishes.
Michael Aswell vs JooSang Yoo — Bones took JooSang Yoo at -205
2026-09-19 · UFC 331 · PASS
Lost. Michael Aswell won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Aswell's forward pressure and left hook could land on Yoo's documented habit of backing straight up with his hands low. That is exactly how Daniel Santos, a pressuring orthodox striker, knocked Yoo out in round 2 of his only loss.
Ozzy Diaz vs Ryan Gandra — Bones took Ryan Gandra at -530
2026-09-19 · UFC 331 · PASS
Won. Ryan Gandra won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Diaz's standing KO power, using the long jab and straight right from his 4.5-inch reach edge, lands on the hole shown in Gandra's only loss: upright head, straight-line retreat to the fence, caught between his own kick and power punch.
Edmen Shahbazyan vs Brunno Ferreira — Bones took Edmen Shahbazyan at -195
2026-09-19 · UFC 331 · PASS
Won. Edmen Shahbazyan won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Ferreira's explosive burst power (or a judo entry into top position) lands on Shahbazyan's documented upright, center-line head and straight-line retreat under clean punching (Dobson buckled him, Allen's rights landed clean) and produces the knockout or ground-strike TKO that already ended Shahbazyan three times.
Casey O'Neill vs Eduarda Moura — Bones took Casey O'Neill at -245
2026-09-19 · UFC 331 · PASS
Won. Casey O'Neill won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Moura's signature smother (heavy clinch and top control, then the back and the rear-naked choke) reaches the mat and exploits O'Neill's documented loss of position on the ground, as in the da Silva armbar. Moura's control piles up time even when her takedowns fail, which could win her the rounds.
Giga Chikadze vs Joanderson Brito — Bones took Joanderson Brito at -480
2026-09-19 · UFC 331 · PASS
Won. Joanderson Brito won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Brito's style has a hole against rangy, stance-switching strikers. Algeo (73" reach, switch stance) and Gomis (73" reach, southpaw) both beat him by decision; Gomis stuffed his takedowns (0/3 needed on defence) and landed 43 strikes to Brito's 29. Chikadze (74" reach, switches stance, has intercepting knees against forward entries on the Rivera tape) could stop Brito's straight-line entries the same way, or knock him out with a kick.
Zevan Hunt vs Mayton Perea — Bones took Zevan Hunt at +100
2026-09-15 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 6 · BET
Lost. Mayton Perea won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Perea's right hand lands during Hunt's entry — Hunt's tape shows him absorbing punches at range with upright posture (Beard 18:00-18:28) and becoming "more hesitant amid counter exchanges" (Smyth 09:30-10:05), and Perea's second-sharpest pairing is his three rear-naked-choke wins and back-take (Pinargote 24:35-25:01) against Hunt's one documented career loss, an amateur submission from bottom (Fleck, R3, 2020).
Oscar Ravello vs Igor Cavalcanti — Bones took Oscar Ravello at +190
2026-09-15 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 6 · BET
Lost. Igor Cavalcanti won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Cavalcanti lands the early right hand or high kick from a 7.5-inch reach edge and finishes in round one — his documented A-game (10 KO wins, all wins R1) onto Ravello's documented flaw (TKO'd by Morales 2019 and by Martins' head kick plus punches in R2, 2025-10-30, with Ravello logged advancing head-on and eating straight punches vs Santana, Centeno and Romero).
Ednilson Santos vs Akbar Abdullaev — Bones took Akbar Abdullaev at -2875
2026-09-15 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 6 · PASS
Won. Akbar Abdullaev won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Santos lands the documented right-hand counter on Abdullaev's forward entry and stops him standing — the same phase in which Abdullaev has been struck in the pocket (Simonov 03:00-03:03, Treskin 04:00-04:01) and briefly put to the canvas (Zholdoshbekov 02:31-02:36).
Hugo Guillon vs Luis Hernandez — Bones took Luis Hernandez at +148
2026-09-15 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 6 · BET
Won. Luis Hernandez won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Guillon lands his UNCONDITIONAL standing power first — the Gutu head-kick/straight-punch sequence over a six-inch height and likely reach gap — and Hernandez's tape already shows him **upright and available to right-hand contact** (Games 07:08–07:18, legs disrupted at 06:26).
Antonio Monteiro vs Tyshawn Williams — Bones took Tyshawn Williams at -275
2026-09-15 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 6 · PASS
Won. Tyshawn Williams won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Monteiro catches a submission on one of Williams' forward level-change entries — Monteiro's documented A-game is 6+ submissions including a guard armlock finish from bottom, and Williams' deep submission defense and bottom recovery are explicitly unsampled across all accepted footage.
Jean Silva vs Jose Miguel Delgado — Bones took Jean Silva at -450
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · PASS
Won. Jean Silva won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Delgado's documented ko/tko striking (6 stoppages, knee finishes over Amil and Juarez) lands in the same standing phase in which Lopes stopped Silva by punches, with a 4-inch reach edge and a volume pace that can bank rounds if the knockout never comes.
Brandon Moreno vs Joseph Morales — Bones took Brandon Moreno at -102
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · BET
Won. Brandon Moreno won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Moreno concedes the back in a scramble — the exact position Pantoja held for 506s of control and Taira converted into the R2 stoppage — and Morales, who finished Schnell in 2:54 and Idiris in R2, closes an RNC or catches a guillotine on a Moreno level-change.
Tommy McMillen vs Marwan Rahiki — Bones took Tommy McMillen at -178
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · PASS
Won. Tommy McMillen won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Rahiki lands his documented counter KO — the exact left-hook-and-finish that ended Schmid — in one of McMillen's forward entries, the phase where his own tape shows clean returns reaching him (Zecchini 01:59–02:03, 02:35–02:38) and a visible knockdown against Montes.
Alexa Grasso vs Manon Fiorot — Bones took Manon Fiorot at -275
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · PASS
Lost. Alexa Grasso won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Grasso lands the same counter left that ended Barber inside Fiorot's forward volume, against a fighter already documented as droppable by a counter hook while pressing forward.
Curtis Blaydes vs Waldo Cortes Acosta — Bones took Waldo Cortes Acosta at -200
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · PASS
Lost. Curtis Blaydes won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Blaydes wins the clinch, racks up fence and top control the way he did for 321s on Kuniev and 301s-style minutes, and takes a home-crowd decision or an elbow/hammerfist stoppage on the same mechanism de Lima used to out-grind Cortes Acosta in 2023.
Dan Ige vs David Martinez — Bones took David Martinez at -450
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · PASS
Won. David Martinez won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Ige lands the compact counter/overhand right that starched Tucker, Fili and Jackson, and Martinez's Osuna tape documents he can be dropped and hurt (knockdown plus back-control adversity in R3 before recovering).
Tim Elliott vs Édgar Cháirez — Bones took Édgar Cháirez at -220
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · PASS
Lost. Tim Elliott won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Elliott lands the shots and holds top position for three rounds, reproducing the Carpenter (269s ctrl), Taira (593s ctrl) and Van (266s ctrl) template that accounts for Cháirez's three decision losses, with the +8.3pt home-judging lean in Glendale finishing the job.
Muslim Salikhov vs Ignacio Bahamondes — Bones took Ignacio Bahamondes at -590
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · PASS
Won. Ignacio Bahamondes won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Salikhov's signature counter right hand or spinning/wheel kick lands clean while Bahamondes pressures forward — the same entry-punished mechanism visible in his Leal, Taleb and Song finishes — and one shot ends it regardless of the volume ledger.
Yousri Belgaroui vs Djorden Santos — Bones took Yousri Belgaroui at -900
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · PASS
Won. Yousri Belgaroui won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Santos out-works him in a fence-and-clinch volume grind to a three-round decision — the same 3-round decision loss Tulio hung on Belgaroui with 378s of control from a similar-height orthodox body — and Belgaroui's two prior stoppages of wrestlers came only after conceding early rounds, so a Santos who avoids the R3 collapse takes the cards.
Drakkar Klose vs Tommy Gantt — Bones took Tommy Gantt at -435
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · PASS
Won. Tommy Gantt won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Klose's UNCONDITIONAL pressure-boxing grind — 10 decision wins, 61-70 landed per fight, plus 6 ko/tko and 2 KDs vs Jenkins — meets a 33-year-old whose professional ledger contains no sample of absorbing UFC-level striking or of fighting deep into a third round against a durable opponent, and Klose out-points or catches him.
Rafa Garcia vs Rongzhu — Bones took Rongzhu at -159
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · PASS
Won. Rongzhu won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Garcia's documented A-game (8 submission wins, RNC from back control vs Ronson at 277s ctrl) landing on Rongzhu's documented submission-loss column — three regional R1 chokes and, at UFC level, the Bahamondes R3 guillotine off a reactive shot.
Jessie Rosas vs Sean King — Bones took Sean King
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · PASS
Won. Sean King won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Rosas lands the grappling entry and finds the choke King's own tape documents him conceding — Ivy held prolonged bottom control with back exposure and neck-control hand-fighting from 03:48 to 08:05, and Hightower had King on bottom for a stretch, exactly the position Rosas's armbar/triangle/arm-triangle record attacks.
JJ Aldrich vs Regina Tarin — Bones took Regina Tarin at -300
2026-09-12 · Noche UFC · PASS
Won. Regina Tarin won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Aldrich out-lands and out-controls a young, UFC-inexperienced opponent for 15 minutes exactly as she did to Lee, De La Rosa, Robertson and Horth, and banks the home decision in Glendale.
Quentin Pasley vs Arlind Berisha — Bones took Arlind Berisha at -160
2026-09-08 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 5 · PASS
Lost. Quentin Pasley won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Pasley's documented A-game is exactly a long-range right high kick and a flying knee at the opening bell, and Berisha's own film shows him standing tall and upright in orthodox at range in every accepted clip, so one clean kick or knee ends this before any grappling phase exists.
Isaac Moreno vs Reginaldo Junior — Bones took Reginaldo Junior at +110
2026-09-08 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 5 · BET
Lost. Isaac Moreno won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Moreno's UNCONDITIONAL standing knockout catches Junior early — Junior fights behind a high guard at close range and has conceded clean exchanges (Ribeiro, Spadaccini), and Moreno's lead-right counter hook has produced first-round stoppages.
Christian Echols vs Martin Kozák — Bones took Martin Kozák at -649
2026-09-08 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 5 · PASS
Won. Martin Kozák won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Echols lands his documented early counter right — the Downey KO mechanism — or hits a first-round submission entry on Kozák, whose only tested adversity is cage pressure he absorbed without being hurt.
Kwon Won Il vs Apollo Gomes — Bones took Apollo Gomes
2026-09-08 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 5 · PASS
Won. Apollo Gomes won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Kwon's UNCONDITIONAL straight-right/body-hook power — the same mechanism that dropped Kelly, Sunoto, Belingon and Belakh — lands during Gomes's level-change entry or an open-space exchange and ends it before any grappling phase is won.
Colton Loud vs Christian Natividad — Bones took Christian Natividad at -333
2026-09-08 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 5 · PASS
Won. Christian Natividad won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Loud's UNCONDITIONAL standing power lands first — he has 4 ko/tko wins including a short right counter that dropped an advancing Urbina, and Natividad is documented on tape being dropped by punches in an open exchange (Jackson 18:45-19:19).
Dan Hooker vs Salahdine Parnasse — Bones took Salahdine Parnasse at -550
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · PASS
Won. Salahdine Parnasse won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Hooker’s documented standing knockout weapons, especially intercepting knees and hooks, punish Parnasse’s repeatedly observed low ducking and exposed head position, the latter implicated in his Torres stoppage.
Farés Ziam vs Axel Sola — Bones took Axel Sola at +143
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · BET
Won. Axel Sola won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Ziam’s accurate jab, straight punches and clinch-exit strikes exploit Sola’s documented high chin and linear retreat, accumulating the cleaner damage while Sola pursues contact.
Michael Page vs Nursulton Ruziboev — Bones took Nursulton Ruziboev at +166
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · BET
Lost. Michael Page won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Page keeps exchanges at his preferred distance and wins two rounds through cleaner striking, extending his documented decision-winning A-game before Ruziboev can establish productive grappling.
Punahele Soriano vs Daniil Donchenko — Bones took Punahele Soriano at +198
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · BET
Lost. Daniil Donchenko won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Donchenko’s sustained standing pressure, body attacks and accurate combinations exploit Soriano’s straight-line retreats and stationary defence, reproducing the accumulation of damage that undermined him against Kopylov.
Trevor Peek vs Kurtis Campbell — Bones took Trevor Peek at +320
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · BET
Lost. Kurtis Campbell won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Campbell times Peek’s looping entries into takedowns and back attacks, reproducing his documented top-position offense against a fighter whose UFC opponents accumulated 329, 341 and 496 seconds of control.
Muhammad Naimov vs Losene Keita — Bones took Muhammad Naimov at +310
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · BET
Lost. Losene Keita won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Keita punishes Naimov’s documented flat-footed clinch exits with his signature explosive punches, turning the transitions required by Naimov’s control game into damaging exchanges.
Morgan Charrière vs Felipe Lima — Bones took Felipe Lima at -215
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · PASS
Won. Felipe Lima won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Charrière exploits Lima’s documented fence passivity with sustained clinch pressure and damaging knees, supported by Charrière’s 204s and 222s UFC control performances and Lima conceding 289s control against Talbott.
Ryan Spann vs Mario Pinto — Bones took Mario Pinto at -375
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · PASS
Won. Mario Pinto won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Spann uses Pinto’s repeated early fence concessions and documented back exposure during get-ups to secure a submission, matching his submission-heavy A-game to a real positional opening.
Modestas Bukauskas vs Oumar Sy — Bones took Oumar Sy at -240
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · PASS
Lost. Modestas Bukauskas won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bukauskas lands damaging standing combinations or clinch knees when Sy retreats under pressure, exploiting the cage retreat shown against Cutelaba and clean-right-hand defensive openings documented against Skvor.
Nathaniel Wood vs Pavel Andrusca — Bones took Pavel Andrusca at +250
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · BET
Won. Pavel Andrusca won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Wood punishes Andrusca’s documented overextended, chin-exposed entries with his jab and combination striking, using his 2.5-inch reach advantage and demonstrated output to accumulate winning rounds.
Michael Aljarouj vs Fabia Sintes — Bones took Fabia Sintes at +109
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · BET
Won. Fabia Sintes won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Aljarouj catches Sintes leaning straight back or overextending on entry with the same standing right-hand power demonstrated against Nobre, exploiting Sintes’s repeated counter-right exposure and documented rocking against Santos.
Nora Cornolle vs Klaudia Syguła — Bones took Klaudia Syguła at -115
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · PASS
Lost. Nora Cornolle won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Cornolle turns a clinch transition into a submission opportunity, pairing her two professional submission wins, including Cowan in the UFC, with Syguła’s documented ground-submission vulnerability against Sobek, although the different finishing positions limit the match.
Luis Felipe Dias vs Matthieu Letho Duclos — Bones took Luis Felipe Dias at +105
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · BET
Lost. Matthieu Letho Duclos won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Duclos pressures Dias backward behind his right hand, establishes sustained fence and top control, and exploits the difficulty escaping and deterioration under pressure documented against Cado to take rounds.
Sofia Montenegro vs Delphine Benouaich — Bones took Sofia Montenegro at +120
2026-09-05 · UFC Fight Night: Paris · BET
Lost. Delphine Benouaich won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Benouaich’s committed right-hand pressure catches Montenegro entering upright on the centreline, exploiting the standing vulnerability exposed by Luna’s knockout and still visible in later professional footage, although Benouaich’s own KO/TKO delivery phases are unverified.
Patrick Rivera vs Adam Darby — Bones took Patrick Rivera at +340
2026-09-01 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 4 · BET
Lost. Adam Darby won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Rivera's documented A-game includes clinch offence, cage takedown entries, and scrambles, and Darby's standing guillotine and ninja choke, built off exactly those entries, land on a fighter whose every career stoppage loss (three RNCs and a McDowell guillotine in a title fight) came by choke.
Brandon Holmes vs Modestino Rodrigues — Bones took Brandon Holmes at -181
2026-09-01 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 4 · PASS
Lost. Modestino Rodrigues won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Rodrigues, a tall orthodox 77-inch right-hand knockout artist, lands the clean right early, and Holmes repeats the Rowston pattern exactly (dropped by one orthodox right hand from a long opponent, backs straight into the fence, no recovery, finished by follow-up strikes on the ground inside round one).
Liam McCracken vs Silvestre Sanchez — Bones took Silvestre Sanchez at +114
2026-09-01 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 4 · BET
Won. Silvestre Sanchez won.
Documented risk, written before the result: McCracken's documented fence clinch and body-lock takedown into back control (three RNC wins, the Bellator round-one back-take) lands on Sanchez's documented cage-control vulnerability from the Roberts loss, either finishing him in round one or banking the early rounds before Sanchez's third-round window opens.
Gabriel Lorenço vs Charlie Cleveland — Bones took Charlie Cleveland at -225
2026-09-01 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 4 · PASS
Lost. Gabriel Lorenço won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Lorenço's documented low-kick-into-overhand-right knockout power landing on Cleveland's tape-visible habit of eating leg kicks unchecked while hand-measuring and retreating in straight lines with hands low, the same porous shell that got him rocked by Harris before the submission finish.
Adam Livingston vs Hunter Smith — Bones took Hunter Smith at +166
2026-09-01 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 4 · BET
Lost. Adam Livingston won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Livingston's documented unconditional KO path (5 KO/TKO wins, 86% finish rate, kicks and long combinations from a length edge) lands on Smith's tape-documented leg-kick defence hole and his unsampled response to sustained orthodox pressure, with Smith reactive rather than offensive when pinned to the cage.
Anthony Hernandez vs Gregory Rodrigues — Bones took Gregory Rodrigues at +180
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · BET
Won. Gregory Rodrigues won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Hernandez’s unconditional pressure-and-control attrition reaches Rodrigues’ documented late-discipline failure against Cannonier, when Rodrigues was broken and stopped in round four after succeeding early.
Serghei Spivac vs Vitor Petrino — Bones took Vitor Petrino at -149
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · PASS
Won. Vitor Petrino won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Spivac wins an early takedown and converts his signature top pressure into cumulative ground damage or a submission before Petrino’s striking can take over.
Roman Dolidze vs Reinier de Ridder — Bones took Reinier de Ridder at -400
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · PASS
Won. Reinier de Ridder won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Dolidze catches a grappling entry with his documented punch-or-knee knockout power. The verified Whittaker fight showed this entry risk when de Ridder was knocked down, and de Ridder has three recorded KO/TKO losses.
Mason Jones vs MarQuel Mederos — Bones took MarQuel Mederos at +255
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · PASS
Won. MarQuel Mederos won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Jones turns forward pressure into clinch work, repeat mat returns, and extended top control. Mederos conceded 454 seconds of control to Hubbard and 279 to Choinski, so Jones can bank rounds if Mederos cannot consistently separate or escape.
Carli Judice vs Jeisla Chaves — Bones took Carli Judice at -625
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · PASS
Won. Carli Judice won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Chaves lands repeated takedowns and converts her documented 269-second control game into the same control-weighted decision dynamic that cost Judice the split decision against Fernandes.
Anthony Wint vs Terrance Chatman — Bones took Anthony Wint at -1300
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · PASS
Won. Anthony Wint won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Chatman’s 35-pound size advantage and patient overhand-right, left-hook, and low-kick counters could disrupt Wint’s entries, while Wint’s closest fight showed that a substantially larger heavyweight could resist his sustained clinch control.
Jamall Emmers vs Lerryan Douglas — Bones took Lerryan Douglas at -400
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · PASS
Lost. Jamall Emmers won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Emmers converts his recent wrestling into a submission opportunity against Douglas, who has documented first-round guillotine and triangle losses.
Kennedy Nzechukwu vs Shamil Gaziev — Bones took Kennedy Nzechukwu at +106
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · BET
Lost. Shamil Gaziev won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Gaziev’s documented nine-KO pressure-punching A-game lands on Nzechukwu’s documented standing defensive flaw, exposed by the Jung elbow stoppage and Jacoby counter-punch knockout.
Chris Padilla vs Nasrat Haqparast — Bones took Chris Padilla at -110
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · BET
Won. Chris Padilla won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Haqparast’s documented southpaw volume and 10-KO standing attack attrition-stops Padilla, whose 2016 standing TKO loss followed a southpaw’s sustained body, clinch, and straight-punch offense.
Marcio Barbosa vs Ryan Kuse — Bones took Marcio Barbosa at -1000
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · PASS
Won. Marcio Barbosa won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Kuse has never been stopped in 12 professional bouts and has substantially more three-round experience. If he survives Barbosa's opening surge, both verified Barbosa losses occurred by second-round strikes, leaving Kuse a live attritional and counter-striking path.
Gauge Young vs Stan Dorsainvil — Bones took Stan Dorsainvil at +150
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · BET
Won. Stan Dorsainvil won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Young denies the grappling entries and uses his unconditional standing output—recently 112 and 122 significant strikes—to bank rounds against a short-notice UFC newcomer, with the home-judging context strengthening that decision path.
Wes Schultz vs Jackson McVey — Bones took Wes Schultz at +155
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · BET
Lost. Jackson McVey won.
Documented risk, written before the result: McVey's standing and clinch offense can punish Schultz's recent failed entries, and Schultz was stopped by standing punches after his entries became slower and more exposed.
Elise Reed vs Shanelle Dyer — Bones took Shanelle Dyer at -950
2026-08-22 · UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues · PASS
Won. Shanelle Dyer won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Reed uses her documented high-output decision game—117 significant strikes against Penne—to bank rounds with home-field judging if Dyer again loses range discipline and spends too long in extended exchanges.
Kaik Brito vs Namo Fazil: price sim took Kaik Brito at +162
2026-08-18 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 2 · Prediction
Won. Kaik Brito won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Fazil chains a takedown or clinch entry into top control and a choke — his live A-game (D'Arce R2 over a 6-1 opponent, May 2026) landing on Brito's documented grappling hole, the majority-decision loss to Oban Elliott where Brito was controlled 265s to 61s and landed 0 takedowns of his own.
Trent Miller vs Douglas Rodrigues — Bones took Douglas Rodrigues at -703
2026-08-18 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 2 · PASS
Lost. Trent Miller won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Miller's unconditional early KO power — 5 first-round ko/tko wins — lands first on a Rodrigues who has fought only 3 times in 3 years and is making his Vegas/DWCS debut, and Rodrigues gets stopped before his reach edge accumulates.
Logan Paxton vs Cristian Pérez: price sim took Logan Paxton at +190
2026-08-18 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 2 · Prediction
Lost. Cristian Pérez won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Pérez uses his 3-inch reach edge to enter on the legs and repeat the 466s-of-control performance, out-positioning Paxton across three rounds the way the 72" orthodox Jacobi Jones out-pointed him in 2021, or catching a submission from top position.
Alik Lorenz vs Mahamed Aly — Bones took Mahamed Aly at -400
2026-08-18 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 2 · PASS
Lost. Alik Lorenz won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Lorenz's documented A-game — R1 ko/tko, six times on the record — lands on the same punch-KO vulnerability Iwo Baraniewski exposed in Aly in 20 seconds, in the identical standing phase.
Roman Puga vs Taner Trembley — Bones took Roman Puga at -150
2026-08-18 · Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 2 · PASS
Won. Roman Puga won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Trembley's documented submission A-game — 5 subs in 7, including a first-round guillotine on the best opponent either man has faced — off a wrestling entry Puga has never been shown defending, choking him out inside two rounds.
Islam Makhachev vs Ian Machado Garry — Bones took Islam Makhachev at -350
2026-08-15 · UFC 330: Makhachev vs. Machado Garry · PASS
Won. Islam Makhachev won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Garry lands his documented standing KO offense on Makhachev’s documented vulnerability to a standing punch knockout before the control game takes hold.
Mackenzie Dern vs Gillian Robertson — Bones took Mackenzie Dern at -225
2026-08-15 · UFC 330: Makhachev vs. Machado Garry · PASS
Won. Mackenzie Dern won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Robertson wins a control-heavy decision by reproducing her recent 557–754-second smothering performances while denying Dern the submission.
Jalin Turner vs Kauê Fernandes: price sim took Kauê Fernandes at +110
2026-08-15 · UFC 330: Makhachev vs. Machado Garry · Prediction
Lost. Jalin Turner won.
