Tom Nolan def. Renato Moicano · Kotko · Round 3
DarkHorse Pick
Renato Moicano to win · Decision
Renato Moicano brings a significant experience advantage with 29 professional fights compared to Nolan's 12, including extensive UFC tenure against elite competition. While Nolan's 11-1 record is impressive, the gap in proven opposition at the highest level favors the veteran. Moicano's well-rounded game and championship-level experience should allow him to control pace and positioning over five rounds. Without market odds to calibrate against, the record disparity and likely skill differential support a decision victory for the red corner.

Jacobe Smith def. Randy Brown · Decision · Round 3
DarkHorse Pick
Randy Brown to win · Decision
Randy Brown's 20-8 record demonstrates proven UFC-level experience against established welterweight competition, while Jacobe Smith's unblemished 13-0 record likely includes regional opponents of lesser caliber. Without market odds to validate Smith's undefeated status as meaningful at this level, Brown's veteran savvy and octagon time against higher-tier opposition provides a tangible edge. The experience gap favors Brown to control pace and distance over three rounds, though Smith's perfect record warrants moderate confidence rather than certainty.
Result: miss
Randy Brown
20-9
Carlos Leal
23-7
DarkHorse Pick
Randy Brown to win · Decision
Randy Brown's 20-8 record at the UFC welterweight level suggests he has faced stiffer competition than Carlos Leal's 23-7 record, which likely includes regional opponents. Without market odds to guide us, Brown's experience in the UFC octagon against proven welterweights gives him a slight edge in a three-round fight. Both records suggest durable fighters who can go the distance, making a decision the most probable outcome.
Ode' Osbourne
13-10
Cody Durden
19-11-1
Cody Durden def. Ode' Osbourne · Decision · Round 3
DarkHorse Pick
Cody Durden to win · Decision
Cody Durden holds a significant experience advantage with 30 total fights compared to Osbourne's 23, and carries a superior win total (18 vs 13) despite both fighters having double-digit losses. Durden's 18-11-1 record suggests more consistency at building wins than Osbourne's 13-10 mark. Without market odds to guide and no clear stylistic intel, the edge goes to the fighter with more cage time and proven ability to accumulate victories at this level. This projects as a competitive three-round flyweight bout likely decided on the scorecards.

Yana Santos
17-9
Luana Santos
12-2
Luana Santos def. Yana Santos · Decision · Round 3
DarkHorse Pick
Luana Santos to win · Decision
Luana Santos holds a superior record at 11-2 compared to Yana Santos' 17-8, with a significantly better win percentage (84.6% vs 68%). While Yana has more experience with 25 total fights, Luana's efficiency and fewer losses suggest she's faced quality competition and emerged victorious more consistently. Without market odds to guide us, the record differential favors the blue corner, though Yana's experience keeps this from being a high-confidence pick. This projects as a competitive three-round decision.

Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani
12-2
Farman Hasanov
5-1
Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani def. Farman Hasanov · Kotko · Round 3
DarkHorse Pick
Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani to win · Decision
Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani brings significantly more professional experience with 13 fights compared to Hasanov's 6, including exposure to higher-level competition that typically comes with an 11-2 record. While Hasanov's undefeated 6-0 record is promising, it likely reflects less proven opposition at this stage of his career. Without market odds to calibrate against, the experience gap at welterweight favors the red corner, though Hasanov's perfect record prevents higher confidence. Lebosnoyani's veteran presence should allow him to control pace and avoid the finish, taking this to the judges.

Francis Marshall
10-4
Dakota Hope
12-2
Dakota Hope def. Francis Marshall · Decision · Round 3
DarkHorse Pick
Francis Marshall to win · Decision
Francis Marshall enters as a significant -250 favorite against Dakota Hope's +200 underdog line, indicating the market sees a clear edge for the red corner. Both fighters carry solid records at featherweight (Marshall 10-3, Hope 11-2), but the pricing suggests Marshall has faced stiffer competition or possesses stylistic advantages the oddsmakers respect. With no finish rate data provided and both records showing they've survived adversity, this projects as a competitive three-round bout likely decided on the scorecards. I align with the market favorite but temper confidence given Hope's respectable record and the inherent variance in MMA.
Result: miss
Azamat Bekoev
20-5
Andre Petroski
14-6
DarkHorse Pick
Azamat Bekoev to win · Decision
Azamat Bekoev holds a significant record advantage at 20-5 versus Andre Petroski's 13-7, suggesting more consistent success at this level. Without market odds to calibrate against, the record differential becomes the primary signal in a middleweight non-title bout. Bekoev's superior win total and better win percentage (80% vs 65%) indicate he should control the pace and likely take a decision over three rounds. Confidence is moderate given the absence of style/odds data and Petroski's respectable UFC-level experience.
Francis Marshall
10-4
Gaston Bolaños
9-5
DarkHorse Pick
Francis Marshall to win · Decision
Francis Marshall holds a superior 10-3 record compared to Bolaños' 9-5, indicating better overall performance against comparable competition at the featherweight level. Without market odds to calibrate against, the record differential provides a modest edge to Marshall. Both fighters have shown the ability to go the distance in their careers, and without specific finish rates or stylistic information, a decision outcome is most probable in a standard three-round bout. The confidence remains moderate given the lack of market pricing and limited data beyond records.
Rodrigo Sezinando
10-2
Theodor Berggren
8-5
Rodrigo Sezinando def. Theodor Berggren · Kotko · Round 2
DarkHorse Pick
Rodrigo Sezinando to win · Decision
Rodrigo Sezinando holds a superior 9-2 record compared to Theodor Berggren's 8-4, indicating better overall performance against comparable competition at the welterweight level. Without market odds or detailed stylistic information, the record differential is the primary signal here. Sezinando's higher win percentage (81.8% vs 66.7%) suggests more consistent execution, though Berggren's four losses indicate he has faced meaningful opposition. In the absence of finish rate data or clear stylistic mismatches, a decision outcome is most prudent for a three-round welterweight bout between these records.
Result: hit
Julian Erosa
32-14
JeongYeong Lee
11-4
Julian Erosa def. JeongYeong Lee · Kotko · Round 1
DarkHorse Pick
Julian Erosa to win · Submission · Round 2
Julian Erosa's 31-14 record demonstrates extensive UFC/high-level experience across 45 professional fights, suggesting deep tactical knowledge and finishing ability despite the losses. JeongYeong Lee's 11-3 record shows promise but represents significantly less cage time against elite competition. Erosa is known as a submission specialist who thrives in scrambles and has proven durable over a long career. Without market odds to anchor against, the experience gap and Erosa's grappling threat favor the red corner by finish in the middle rounds.
Result: hit
Zach Reese
11-4
Mickey Gall
7-8
Zach Reese def. Mickey Gall · Decision · Round 3
DarkHorse Pick
Zach Reese to win · KO/TKO · Round 2
Zach Reese holds a significant record advantage at 10-4 versus Mickey Gall's 7-7, indicating more consistent success at this level. Gall's .500 record suggests he has struggled against quality competition, while Reese's winning percentage above 70% demonstrates he belongs in the middleweight division. Without market odds to contradict, the record disparity favors Reese substantially. I project Reese's superior form leads to a finish, most likely by strikes in the second round as he breaks down Gall's defense.
Result: hit
Nick Klein
6-4
Joe Kropschot
10-3
Joe Kropschot def. Nick Klein · Submission · Round 2
DarkHorse Pick
Joe Kropschot to win · Decision
Joe Kropschot holds a meaningful record advantage at 9-3 versus Nick Klein's 6-3, suggesting more octagon experience and a proven ability to win at this level. Without market odds or detailed stylistic information, the record differential is the primary signal. In a standard three-round middleweight bout with no clear finish indicator from the data provided, the more experienced fighter is favored to control pace and win on the scorecards. Confidence is moderate given the lack of odds, style details, and Klein's respectable record that keeps this competitive.
Result: hit
Talita Alencar
8-2-1
Piera Rodriguez
13-2
Piera Rodriguez def. Talita Alencar · Decision · Round 3
DarkHorse Pick
Piera Rodriguez to win · Decision
Piera Rodriguez brings a significantly more extensive record at 12-2 compared to Talita Alencar's 8-1-1, suggesting deeper experience at this level. Without market odds to guide us, the record differential becomes the primary signal, and Rodriguez's four additional wins against only one more loss indicates she has been tested more thoroughly. Alencar's draw suggests competitive fights that went the distance, and without finish rate data, a decision outcome is most prudent. The confidence is moderate given we lack stylistic details and market validation, but Rodriguez's proven track record at W Strawweight gives her the edge.
Result: hit
Lucia Szabová
13-0
Tainara Lisboa
7-5
Lucia Szabová def. Tainara Lisboa · Kotko · Round 3
DarkHorse Pick
Tainara Lisboa to win · Decision
Tainara Lisboa brings a significant experience advantage with 11 professional fights compared to Szabova's single bout. While Lisboa's 7-4 record shows she has faced varied competition and learned to navigate adversity, Szabova remains largely untested at this level. Without market odds to suggest otherwise, the substantial experience gap in a three-round women's flyweight bout favors the more seasoned fighter to control pace and win on the scorecards. Lisboa's ability to survive and compete through 11 fights suggests she can avoid early mistakes and grind out a decision.
