UFC 335: Oliveira vs. Lopes

Charles Oliveira to win · Submission · Round 3

Charles Oliveira holds the UFC record for most submission wins and most finishes in promotional history, with elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that has proven effective at the highest lightweight level including title fights. Diego Lopes is a skilled finisher moving up from featherweight with a strong record, but faces a significant step up in competition against a former champion. Oliveira's grappling pedigree and experience at this weight class give him multiple pathways to victory, most likely finding a submission in the middle rounds as Lopes adjusts to lightweight elite competition. The 5-round format favors Oliveira's cardio and ability to impose his game over time.

Sergei Pavlovich to win · KO/TKO · Round 2

Sergei Pavlovich holds a significant record advantage at 21-3 versus Pereira's 13-4, and Pavlovich is a natural heavyweight with devastating knockout power and a history of early finishes in this division. While Pereira has shown elite striking at light heavyweight and middleweight, the heavyweight division presents a substantial size and power differential that favors the bigger, more experienced heavyweight in Pavlovich. Without market odds to anchor against, the record disparity and weight class considerations point to Pavlovich landing heavy early and securing a finish within the first two rounds.

Bo Nickal to win · Submission · Round 2

Bo Nickal brings an elite wrestling pedigree with a 9-1 record that includes multiple first-round finishes, primarily by submission. While Joe Pyfer holds a more experienced 16-3 record with knockout power, Nickal's grappling dominance and ability to control where the fight takes place gives him a clear path to victory. Pyfer's losses have come against high-level competition, but Nickal's wrestling should allow him to dictate pace, secure takedowns, and hunt for a finish on the ground. The combination of Nickal's submission threat and Pyfer's vulnerability to elite grapplers favors a second-round submission.

Brandon Moreno to win · Decision

Brandon Moreno's 24-10-2 record reflects elite-level experience including former UFC flyweight champion status, while Charles Johnson's 20-9 record shows solid competition but less proven championship pedigree. Moreno's well-rounded game, superior grappling, and championship-tested cardio should allow him to control pace and position over three rounds. Without market odds to calibrate against, the record disparity and likely skill gap at this level favor Moreno, though Johnson's durability suggests this goes the distance rather than ending early.

Maycee Barber to win · Decision

Maycee Barber holds a significant experience advantage with 15 wins compared to Judice's 7, including proven UFC-level competition at women's flyweight. Barber's 18-fight body of work suggests she has faced and overcome higher-caliber opposition than Judice's 9-fight resume. Without market odds to contradict, the record gap is substantial enough to favor the red corner. Barber's well-rounded skill set should allow her to control pace and position over three rounds for a decision victory.

Quentin Pasley to win · Decision

Pasley enters undefeated at 4-0 while Tafa carries a 7-6 record that suggests he has faced stiffer competition but with mixed results. Without market odds to guide us, the unblemished record provides a modest edge, though Tafa's experience against higher-level opposition cannot be dismissed. In a three-round Light Heavyweight bout with no clear stylistic read, the safer projection is that Pasley's momentum and perfect record translate to a competitive decision victory. Confidence remains moderate given Tafa's veteran presence and the absence of detailed fight metrics.
