185 lbs.: Jun Yong Park vs. John Phillips
Jun Yong Park (11-4) won seven straight to set up a 2019 UFC debut against Anthony Hernandez, who tapped him with an anaconda choke after a competitive first round. Undeterred, he got back on track three months later with a decision over Marc-Andre Barriault.
“The Iron Turtle” will give up one inch of height and two inches of reach to John Phillips (22-10).
“The Welsh Wrecking Machine” finally got his first-ever Octagon victory in Nov. 2019, knocking out Alen Amedovski in 14 seconds to snap a three-fight losing streak. He then had the misfortune of welcoming Khamzat Chimaev to the Octagon in July, resulting in a second-round submission loss to cap off a one-sided mauling.
He’s scored a staggering 19 knockouts as a professional.
We all know the John Phillips script at this point: anyone with a modicum of wrestling skill can easily destroy him, leaving “The Welsh Wrecking Machine” only a few seconds per round with which to bring those heavy hands to bear. Park has more than a modicum of wrestling skill and actually figures to be the more technical boxer, meaning Phillips has a puncher’s chance and nothing else.
Phillips — who’s proven unable to land his punches unless opponents rush headlong into them — is screwed so long as Park doesn’t decide to slug it out at close range. “The Iron Turtle” drags him to the mat in the opening minutes and hands Phillips submission loss number seven.
Prediction: Park via first-round submission

155 lbs.: Jamie Mullarkey vs. Fares Ziam
Two consecutive stoppage losses didn’t stop Jamie Mullarkey (12-3) from winning his next four by knockout and claiming the Superfight MMA Lightweight title along the way. This led to an Oct. 2019 UFC debut against Brad Riddell, who overpowered Mullarkey in a “Fight of the Night”-winning slugfest that featured on our list of 2019 “Fights of the Year.”
All of his wins since 2014 have come inside the distance.
Fares Ziam (10-3) joined UFC on short notice in the midst of a five-fight win streak, which featured a knockout of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) veteran Abner Lloveras. He couldn’t make it six against Don Madge, dropping a unanimous decision to the South African at UFC 242.
He fights for the first time since Sept. 2019.
Mullarkey faced a rough stylistic match up against Riddell, who boasted a far more extensive striking pedigree and enough takedown defense to shut down Mullarkey’s Plan B wrestling after a time. Ziam figures to be an easier out. That’s because not only is “Smile Killer” less destructive than Riddell on the feet, he was thoroughly out-grappled by a pure striker in Madge last time out. Mullarkey figures to hold his own wherever the fight ends up.
The one point of concern is that Ziam, who’s just 23, could very well have improved significantly in his 13 months away. The Ziam who fought Madge, however, loses comfortably as Mullarkey keeps up in the striking and mixes in takedowns for the win.
Prediction: Mullarkey via unanimous decision

Nothing Personal!
205 lbs.: Gadzhimurad Antigulov vs. Maxim Grishin
Gadzhimurad Antigulov (20-7) got off to a red-hot start in the Octagon, tapping Marcos Rogerio de Lima and Joachim Christensen in a combined 2:28 to secure a “Performance of the Night” bonus. He has since suffered three consecutive first-round stoppage losses, the most recent of which came against Paul Craig in July.
Nineteen of his 20 wins have come inside the distance, 15 of them by submission.
Maxim Grishin (30-8-2) — who went 2-0-2 with Professional Fight League (PFL) — entered UFC with 18 wins and just one loss since 2011. He stepped up in weight to face Marcin Tybura on short notice, but struggled with his foe’s size and wrestling en route to a decision defeat.
He’ll have three inches of height and 7.5 inches of reach on Antigulov.
Yeah, I think it’s safe to say I’ve given up on Antigulov, which of course means he’ll win this easily. Unfortunately, I’ve tried to pump-fake fate like that and it never works out, so Grishin it is. “Maximus” has stout defensive wrestling when actually fighting people his own size and badly outclasses Antigulov on the feet; so long as he can survive two minutes of blitzing takedowns, he should have little issue dismantling his foe.
Antigulov is extremely dangerous in those two minutes, but he’s clearly reached the point of diminishing returns. In the end, expect a repeat of Antigulov’s loss to Ion Cutelaba as he gets mauled while trying and failing to drag Grishin to the mat.
Prediction: Grishin via first-round technical knockout

UFC Poster Drops For ‘Ortega Vs. Korean Zombie’
135 lbs.: Said Nurmagomedov vs. Mark Striegl
Though Said Nurmagomedov’s (13-2) UFC debut win over Justin Scoggins was not without some controversy, his second effort proved definitive as he finished Rico Ramos with a spinning back kick. Next came a clash with fellow rising contender Raoni Barcelos in which Nurmagomedov surrendered a critical late takedown that cost him a competitive decision.
He’s knocked out and submitted three pro foes apiece.
Mark Striegl (18-2) started his professional career 12-0 before hitting a 2-2 stretch that saw him choke out Kai Kara-France among losses to Jang Yong Kim and Reece McLaren. “Mugen” is unbeaten since, winning four straight and fighting Shunichi Shimizu to a “No Contest” in his most recent effort.
This will be his first fight in almost 18 months.
Luckily for Striegl, he managed to avoid debuting against Valiev, a hyper-dynamic Dagestani striker with great takedown defense. Instead, he gets to debut against Nurmagomedov, a hyper-dynamic Dagestani striker with great takedown defense.
Can’t win ‘em all ...
Unless Striegl has used this layoff to dramatically improve his standup, Nurmagomedov’s going to eat him alive on the feet. He has to hope that Nurmagomedov’s fondness for risky attacks leaves him vulnerable to takedowns as it did against Barcelos, but between Nurmagomedov’s defensive wrestling and “Mugen’s” tendency to gas, even that strategy’s only going to be viable for about five minutes. Nurmagomedov sprawls and spins his way to either a late stoppage or comfortable decision.
Prediction: Nurmagomedov via unanimous decision
155 lbs.: Mateusz Gamrot vs. Guram Kutateladze
Long recognized as one of Poland’s best fighters, Mateusz Gamrot (17-0) claimed the KSW Lightweight title in 2016 with a decision over Mansour Barnaoui. His reign went on to feature two wins over The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): “Smashes” winner Norman Parke and a trip down to Featherweight, where he defeated Kleber Koike Erbst to become a double champ.
“Gamer” has knocked out five opponents and submitted four others.
Guram Kutateladze (11-2) — the latest standout from Allstars Training Center — hasn’t tasted defeat since 2015. His current eight-fight win streak includes five by form of knockout, including a vicious knockout of UFC veteran Felipe Silva in Nov. 2019.
He steps in for Magomed Mustafaev on little more than one week’s notice.
It’s not quite as intriguing or hazardous a style match up as Gamrot vs. Mustafaev, but this is still a very interesting clash of prospects. Kutateladze has notable edges in hand speed, power and overall striking acumen, giving him the tools to potentially upend the heretofore unstoppable “Gamer.” Unfortunately, those won’t be of much use to him if Gamrot leans on his wrestling, especially since Kutateladze tends to back himself to the fence and occasionally burst in with lunges that Gamrot could easily time for reactive takedowns.
Kutateladze will need to either provoke a slugfest or show defensive wrestling chops he’s yet to demonstrate if he wants to bring his striking to bear. Gamrot’s too seasoned for the former and too skilled for the latter, so expect him to grind out a comfortable decision on the fence and mat.
Prediction: Gamrot via unanimous decision

Nothing Personal!
125 lbs.: Gillian Robertson vs. Poliana Botelho
Gillian Robertson (8-4) rebounded from an unsuccessful TUF 26 run to win five of seven in the Octagon, all of them by stoppage. Her most recent effort saw her choke out Cortney Casey in June, making almost four years since she last saw the judges.
“The Savage” has submitted six professional foes and finished one other with ground-and-pound.
Poliana Botelho (8-2) started her UFC career strong with wins over Peal Gonzalez and Syuri Kondo, only to run into Cynthia Calvillo and tap to a first-round choke. The loss prompted a return to 125 pounds, where she claimed a decision over Lauren Mueller at UFC 236.
This will be her first fight in 18 months.
Cynthia Calvillo bulldozed Botelho essentially as soon as she decided to use her wrestling. Robertson — who is every bit as lethal on the mat but far less likely to get sucked into a slugfest — figures to find similar success. Though Botelho’s got enough pop to put Robertson down, she’s unlikely to get the opportunities she needs before “The Savage” drags her down and begins a Brazilian jiu-jitsu clinic.
If Botelho had the movement and jab to keep Robertson at the end of her four-inch reach advantage, I’d be willing to entertain the possibility of an upset. As is, expect Robertson to shoot under a power punch and wrap up her fifth Octagon submission in short order.
Prediction: Robertson via first-round submission

UFC Poster Drops For ‘Ortega Vs. Korean Zombie’
170 lbs.: Claudio Silva vs. James Krause
Claudio Silva (14-1) made his first of five Octagon appearances way back in 2014, since which he’s pulled out of four fights with injury. “Hannibal” managed to fight twice in 2019, at least, tapping Danny Roberts and Cole Williams in entertaining fashion.
His 11 professional stoppage wins include 10 by submission, including four in UFC.
Though he took a detour on TUF 25, James Krause (27-8) quietly assembled a six-fight UFC win streak from 2015 to 2019. He stepped up on a day’s notice to fight Trevin Giles in February, battling the larger man to a razor-thin split decision loss at UFC 247.
He replaces Muslim Salikhov on around two weeks’ notice.
Claudio Silva’s success remains inexplicable to me. He’s somehow managed to avoid developing any sort of striking chops in 13 years as a professional and isn’t a particularly overpowering wrestler, but he just keeps on winning. While Krause has him badly out-gunned on the feet, so did practically everyone else “Hannibal’s” faced in UFC and fat lot of good it did them.
We saw Krause survive some early trouble to take out another one-dimensional grappling ace in Sergio Moraes, so it wouldn’t be too terribly surprising to see him do the same to Silva. Still, I expect the Brazilian to grind out a couple rounds and survive the late surge to eke out a decision.
Prediction: Silva via split decision
