what's going on everybody and welcome

back to Johnny K pi and in this video

I'll be going over my full card picks

and predictions along with the best I'm

looking at so far for UFC 305 dupc

versus adna first things first please

hit the like button for me subscribe if

you are new or if you just haven't yet

turn on the notifications so you know

when I put out my videos when we go live

on Wednesday nights or if we do anything

crazy on Saturdays before the show or

before I'm sorry before the fights leave

some comments below how well or bad you

did you will see shortly that I did very

bad on this last card UFC Vegas

95 um also check out my patreon

patreon.com Johny kpix I put out my

early pics bets UFC cheat sheets betting

cheat sheets all that good stuff uh

become a core member for $5.99 a month

or you can join for free I put out free

content there as well but yeah uh last

night luckily for me I wasn't able to

watch literally any of UFC Vegas 95 and

I'm glad I didn't because after looking

back at all my bets and the results no

buo but uh let's just go through that

real quick and get that out of the way

just like a Band-Aid here they are all

my bets um I did bet chess Chelsea

Chandler yes um but that was earlier in

the week which is why I got a very bad

line there um

gorio I was weirdly confident all week

uh looked like he was going to win that

fight and then he uh got subbed so that

hurt right there because I would have

had a KO and his so that's two bets I

would have won if he didn't make a

boneheaded um you

know mistake um yeah and then all these

other L's are just bad uh Barlo didn't

get the KO Barlo barely won that fight

uh didn't look all that great Carl

Williams didn't feel like shooting

takedowns uh alen alen card didn't feel

like shooting takedowns either I guess

um yeah just one of those weird fights

lower level fights lower you get lower

level results and I know moving forward

if there's ever a card like this I'm

just gonna very bet very small maybe it

make one spot one bet call it a day if

that if not then I'm not going to bet um

I learned my lesson this uh card cost me

my eight winning streak in a row not to

say that it wasn't my fault because it

was I bet too much stuff but hey it is

what it is um we move forward luckily

for this card there's a lot more bets

that are very um interesting if you want

to say I do like a lot more on this card

so let's get right to it and I'm not

going to go over all those fights like I

said because I did not watch the fights

uh first fight we got though it's going

to be Stuart uh Nicole or nickl versus

Jesus

agalar and and nickel UFC debut he's

making his UFC debut uh local guy from

Australia he's a solid wrestler and

Grappler he's got good takedowns

striking is just meh um he does want to

shoot for takedowns um he is tough you

know he's durable he's got pretty good

cardio like I said good basically a

wrestler Grappler guy is going to use

his striking to set up those takedowns

um Jesus agalar though he's a very good

Grappler he got a very good very good

submissions especially Guillotines his

striking is also just okay he does does

have some power in his hands if he does

land pretty decent takedowns uh pretty

decent wrestling too but he's got good

scrambles off the mat if he does get

taken down his takedown defense isn't

super great but um we'll see what

happens in this fight I do think this

fight will probably play out on the mat

but um yeah this is a close fight and I

see that Nicole or nickl is um he's a

pretty wide favorite for UFC debut and

I'm not saying Jesus aglar is very good

or anything but I mean he's not a bum

either I think he's pretty decent and

this is a tough matchup for anybody

making their debut so um I'm going to go

with the dog I'm going to go with agalar

actually I think this will fight will

this fight will play out close um I

think egar has the finishing upside

especially with the submissions on the

feet I mean maybe you can even say aglar

has finishing UPS we seen him knock out

um Shannon Ross not to say that's uh

hard to do if you want to say but it was

impressive and then uh he was able to

beat beat uh matus

so close fight I'm just going to go with

the dog I think the line's a little wide

here and you know maybe it's like 50 52%

48% either guy what you think so I do

think this fight will play out close but

give me the dog in

Jesus next one's gonna be Kennan oh

there we go where did it go Kenan song

versus Ricky

Glenn and yeah we have let's see get our

song Power Striker he can be a little

hitable at times sometimes he does slow

down as the fight goes on kind can be a

little low volume but once he hits and

connects he can knock you out he's got

that one punch knockout power good left

hooks um he's not really going to

wrestle or Grappler he's got solid

takedown defense he is durable too

um yeah and Ricky Glenn's you know he's

well-rounded guy solid Striker he likes

to stay at range he's does have decent

power if he lands good cardio uh lately

the the fights just haven't been very

good for Ricky he got knocked out

against Drew

Dober he got knocked out against chriso

gagos which was crazy to me um so not

having the greatest of runs maybe his

chin is a little Dusty especially after

these two big knockouts uh jobber you

know jobber can crack so he's fighting

another Power puncher up a weight class

at 170 and he's normally 155 so for me

I'm going to go a song um would it shock

me if Ricky Glenn somehow squeaks by and

survives and gets a decision win no but

I don't think he's going to be able to I

think song will eventually connect and

get that KO first or second round I want

to say um and I also think song can win

a decision too but um not to say that he

can't but I think if if it does go to

decision it's probably because Ricky

Glenn survives and maybe just outpoints

him on the feet or maybe get some

grappling going but I don't think so I

think song will get that knockout first

second round

next one Tom Nolan versus Alex Reyes um

interesting fight if you want to say

Nolan's a solid Striker he's got very

good po power he likes to get into

little brawls at from time to time um he

does have a pretty decent chin I know he

got uh knocked out against Nicholas Moda

uh but takedown defense isn't all that

great but he's very dangerous very he

likes spinning elbows spinning flying

knees all that good stuff and he's very

tall and long for the division Alex

Reyes you know okay fighter okay

striking okay grappling striking defense

isn't all that great his last fight was

10 months ago before that it was six

years almost seven years so this guy's

not active he just got knocked out 10

months ago against Charlie Campbell

who's also dangerous I think Tom Nolan

is just as dangerous at least um 13-year

age Gap yeah I mean Tom Nolan it is

first round knockout I mean I'm going to

keep that this one short and sweet Alex

Reyes is not should not be in the UFC so

he just take probably getting this

contract out and uh we we'll probably

won't be seeing any more of Alex Reyes

but for the time being Tom Nolan come on

down let's get your knockout in the

first round that's

it next One's Gonna Be Jack Jenkins

versus Herbert

Burns and Jenkins is well-rounded guy

he's got very good wrestling a good top

control when he gets it um on top good

takedowns good leg kicks he likes to

push forward he's got um good he's

durable usually he got injured in his

last fight um when he was trying

to um cushion his Blow from a takedown

attempt or something like that I think

he like uh dislocated his elbow or

something like that from a takedown but

um he's like I said normally durable is

got good cardio so this will be his

first fight back from that injury um but

he is fighting uh Herbert Burns who's

taking this fight on short notice which

is insane to me but he's a very

dangerous Grappler for round one and

that's it like you know he Fades so hard

after round after one round um his

striking isn't all that great like I

said he does have good grappling good

submissions early but you know he's

losing by KO in the first or second

round in these last three fights he's 36

years old he's taking this fight on

short notice I

mean you got to go Jack Jenkins here I'm

going to say first or second round

finish um probably

KO because he's just going to get tired

and he's going to give up and the ref's

going to stop it so give me Jack Jenkins

first or second round KO for this

one interesting fight here Casey O'Neal

versus Luana Santos we just saw Luana a

few weeks ago actually and she looked

good in her fight but Casey O'Neal solid

Striker she throws tons of volume on the

feet she can be a little hitable at

times shows some damage on her face um

she can wrestle we haven't seen

wrestling in a while since her knee

injury and since her knee injury she is

um she's 0 and2 at least I don't I was

thinking I couldn't remember if she had

the knee injury before this fight or not

I think it was after which is why there

was a year Gap um but like I said she

can wrestle but we haven't seen it too

often since the knee injury and she's

very tough she's got good cardio um she

can be submitted kind of easily when she

is taken down kind of worries me in this

fight for her but Lana Santos is taking

this fight on short notice somewhat

short notice it's not like super short

notice maybe three weeks or so but she's

very well-rounded she's got good uh Judo

uh decent striking she uh we saw some

good grappling in her last fight against

Maria agapova but you know I will say

this Maria agapova ground game is Nega

-3 um so Casey's Casey's ground game

will be better than that but yeah this

fight is very close um also Santos does

throw a good volume on a fee and she's

pretty durable um man man if Luana

wasn't short notice I would be more

confident in this

pick because I do favor Santos ever so

slightly because she can get the

takedowns on Casey O'Neal I think the

Striking maybe a slight favorite or

favor uh Casey O'Neal just because of

the volume I think it's a little bit

more technical but I think if Luana can

get this fight to the mat I think it's

it's it's night and day on the mat so

the short notice worries me I'm gonna

pick Santos still but it's gonna be

close and I feel like if Santos does not

get a finish in the first or second

round probably by sub um third round is

going to be dicey I just don't know if

her cardio is going to be there as much

uh we'll see with the weigh-ins as well

maybe she's going to be a little bit

heavier she is like I said taking this

fight on short notice it's over you know

in Australia so it's always a big flight

to go so plays a lot of factors but I

mean if we're gonna go just on paper if

I wasn't putting any of those into my

equation I would pick Luana here

probably more so like a medium

confidence but I think this is just a

low confidence pick for me but give me

Santos to win by uh first or second

round submission I think she can win a

decision but round three is going to be

I think Casey O'Neal if it gets even

gets there so maybe you can do Casey

O'Neal plus three and a half but I would

be a little bit worried that Santos gets

that sub to play that so something to

think about but I think I might just

stay away from this fight allog together

because I could see a finish I could see

a decision I could see Casey winning I

could see Santos

winning one of those next one's gonna be

Josh kulaba versus Ricardo

hamos

uh let's see kulaba he's a good Striker

he's got decent power in his hands he

likes to push forward be a little

aggressive uh I wouldn't say he's a

junkyard dog but I would say he's a dog

he likes uh he has some decent grappling

he can use in his back pocket um he can

be a little hitable on the feet

sometimes in his last fight it was very

close fight he did get dropped a couple

times which is a little worrisome but he

did come back and um made this fight

really close and um you know some people

thought Danny didn't win some people you

know that's how close it was it no

robbery or anything but very close fight

um hos though he's well-rounded

explosive striking he's got good uh

submissions as well decent takedowns um

the only thing with his takedowns he

leaves his neck out there and he gets

submitted all the time his last two

fights he got guillotined and that's not

a good look he's got very bad fight IQ

um but yeah I see some people picking uh

hos here and I don't blame you but I

just can't trust the fight IQ I think

you know hos can be winning all fight

and then just make a stupid decision and

Josh can get a rare naked choke or maybe

knock him out or even a guillotine so

going to go Josh here to win um I could

see a late finish but I'm going to go by

decision um like I said either way if

this fight does go to decision it's

probably going to be in Josh's hand uh

favor but I think Josh has a good chance

to get a finish to but hamos is also

dangerous too but I I trust kaba's

durability in this fight I think he can

keep the fight standing and I think he's

the better Striker so gonna go with Kuba

like I said I'll say by decision third

round decision something like that

wouldn't but it wouldn't shock me if hos

makes a bad mistake in the first

round feature prelim is GNA be junior

TAA versus volter Walker Battle of the

baby Bros if you want to say um but tafa

he's a powerful Striker he's got quick

strikes for heavyweight he's pretty

durable he's got decent cardio takedown

defense you know it's not awful it's not

great um he does do better when he is up

against the cage he does have a pretty

good takedown defense when that happens

but if he's out in the open he does get

taken down out it rather easily um he

doesn't really have the greatest get up

game but he does try to work himself up

he's not going to stay stay there like a

dead you know piece of meat or whatever

dead fish or what you want to say but uh

Walker's he's a wrestler he's goingon to

try to go for takedowns I don't think

his striking is all that great he does

have decent power um he does try to get

this fight to the

mat I don't think he's all that great so

this is a lower level heavyweight fight

against two Baby Bros um I'm going to go

with the better Striker and that's tafa

I think Walker might have success early

in the first maybe second but if this

fight gets into the over one and a half

round range or more um I'm I would lean

Junior all day with the Striking I think

Walker showed in his last fight against

Lucas bretzky which is not a good look

because you can obviously take down

bredi and dominate him and he wasn't

able to and he lost a decision so um you

know Junior was fighting

Marcos I think that was even on super

super short notice you know Parker

Porter I would say is maybe even a

little bit better than Walker and he

beat him there

so you mean Junior TAA by knockout I'm

gonna say second round knockout um maybe

if it's fight gets in the third round

third round knockout but I think the

first round I think Walker will try to

get some takedowns and they'll probably

sneak into the second round but I think

Junior has the better hands I think he

can get the damage and Walker if he does

get TI I don't think he's going to do

too much with it so the judges don't

like that so T of

BYO main card jining leang Lee versus

Carlos pratz and this is going to be a

very very good fight I love this main

card by the way I think it's one of the

better main cards that we've seen in a

while but Lee first things first he

hasn't fought in like almost two years

it was against Daniel Rodriguez it was a

split decision very close and then he

got um

oh that was this fight okay so he's been

a little inactive he's a little up there

in age he's 36 years old now but he's a

solid Striker he's got good power in his

hands he's durable he's never been

knocked out he's been submitted um but

he's got he's got big head so but he's a

striker he can wrestle at times but he's

just going to probably strike with you

um Carlo pro Carl Carlos Prest though

he's a very good Striker he's very

explosive very d dous good steeping

knees um sometimes he keeps his hands a

little bit low he can be a little hble

he's been knocked out a few times in his

career but he does have good kicks um

like I said very good stepping knees

he's got the stepping knee knockout

against Charles radkey um good good win

against Trevon Giles uh this is a little

step up in competition for pratz but I'm

going with pratz I think he's more

dangerous I think he can land the better

strikes I think he can stay safe um if

there is any grappling in this fight I I

would probably see it from proes but I

think this fight's going to probably

play out in the feat and I just think

eventually Prest is going to find a

Knockout shot here um whether it's to

the body maybe club and Sub of some

sorts let's see how many submissions he

has on this record I can't remember he's

only got three it's been finished five

times

so maybe you can look at the under in

this spot I don't think it'll be a bad

spot to look at but I really like

prattas I think he's very very dangerous

and I don't know where Lee's at in his

career now like I said he hasn't fought

in almost two years he's 36 years old uh

maybe a little bit of rust is going to

happen in this fight uh Prest has been

fighting pretty actively the last you

know three fights so give me Prest and

I'm gonna say second or third round

knockout though um or finish whatever

you want to

do next one g to be taiu evasa versus

jarino R Rosen stro and yeah we all know

who Tai is let's see if he brings back

the good old uh shoy if you want to say

we haven't seen that in a while but he's

a powerful Striker he likes to brawl

he's a brawler uh pretty durable he

doesn't really go down with one shot he

does take a lot of shots but eventually

his Chin's looking not looking too great

uh he got koed by gone now it's more so

to the body Sergey

KO um

volov and typer he's been finished in

his last four fights not a good good

look but

um yeah he's just he wants to go in

there brawled out and try to get you try

to get a knockout and Rose Rosen stro

though powerful Striker sometimes he can

be a little low volume but uh lately he

showed he's showing some good volume

which I do like take down defense is

good he does no worry about any of that

um and he's durable I think he's only

been knocked out by the more powerful

punchers in the division like nagu and

stuff like that but um I love Ros and

stro in this fight I think he wins this

I know he's a little older but this is

heavyweight doesn't really matter all

that much unless you're maybe like 45

years old but other than that I mean

Rosen stro is one of the better power

punchers in the heavyweight Division I

like his technical striking his jab um

and I think he can get this one done I

think I think Tai is gonna rush in a

little bit too aggressively and Rosen

stro is probably gonna land that counter

and knock him out so Rosen Str by

knockout I'm gonna say first or second

round I think that's the play and I'm

like I said I'm pretty confident Rosen

strew gets us

done next one's going to be Matas gamrat

versus Dan hooker and gamra as we know

very very good chain wrestler all he

normally does is shoot takedowns and try

to take you down he always pushes

forward he uses his striking to set up

the

takedowns um but he wrestles he's got

amazing cardio for it he's durable he he

can get dropped from time to time but he

gets right back up and goes back to

wrestling hooker very good kickboxer

he's got he stays at range very well

he's got power in his hands he's got

good leg kicks sometimes he can be a

little bit hitable if he tries to make

it more so a brawl rather than a

technical kickboxing fight um decent

takedown defense he can be taken down he

does have a pretty good get up game um

but yeah this is a close fight actually

and I can really see it go either way

line you can maybe say it's a little bit

wide but um I think gam rat's going to

be able to get this one done and

probably by by 2928 decision I don't see

him finishing Dan hooker here um if

there is a finish I could probably see

Dan hooker being the guy to finish gamr

but gamr man he's durable uh or at least

tough if you want to say like if he gets

knocked down he gets up and you just

don't finish gamrat so um just going to

go with the wrestler who I think can put

the more more pressure on Dan hooker in

the later rounds and maybe I don't want

to say melt him but those takedowns will

come easier as the fight goes on and I

think hooker's going to have to land a

knockout to get this one done so give me

game to win by decision like I said

don't hate anybody taking hooker on on

this one but I just think the wrestling

is going to be too much it's just his

style the style of

wrestling Kain it's gonna be Kara France

versus Steve

IG uh Kara hasn't fought in little over

a year very close fight against

Amir kind of thought he won but is what

it is but he a very good boxer good

Striker very technical he's got good

counters good power in his hands durable

uh pretty good takedown defense uh good

submission defense as well if he is

taken down he can be controlled though

he is a little small um that's why more

times than that he can be controlled but

he's always safe when he's down

especially if he gets his like bat taken

or anything like that

but uh he's going to try to keep it on

the feet and box with you but IG he's a

very good Grappler he's got good

submissions he's got good takedowns his

striking is pretty good too as we' seen

he's got good counters good power

sometimes he can be a little hitable on

the feet

but he's you know he's he's gonna keep

coming forward he he did put on a very

good uh fight against Pantoja very close

uh just the later rounds he was just

getting taken down a little bit too much

but yeah this is another one that might

could play out a little bit closer than

some people would want but uh I'm going

to go with Steve IG I think he he's

going to be the ger guy I think he can

get the wrestling going I think he can

get the grappling going as well um on

the feet you know I do maybe you can

favor Kai here but I mean Steve's got

good boxing man so I think it'll be

close in the feet I just favor ERS with

the grappling and the wrestling and I

think he can um control this fight

wherever he wants it to go so give me IG

to win I'm gonna say by decision I think

both guys are durable I think they're

tough I do I do like the overs in this

fight um so I'll look at that but for

now give me ersc to win by decision and

then we got the main event the main

event it's G to be a good one dcus dupi

versus Israel adna but dupi is a

well-rounded guy he's got power on the

feet he can be a little uh loopy with

his striking he's not the most technical

guy um he can be a little hitable too as

well um but he always pushes forward

he's very tough he's very durable he's

got good takedowns good good uh ground

impound he's got good submissions he's

got good grappling the only thing is

he's just not a technical Striker but he

does make up for that by pushing forward

and being you know gritty and trying to

get this fight to the mat if need be

adanan we all know who he is super

technical kickboxer he's got good hands

good kicks um good counters as well he's

durable as well good cardio um but he

can wrestle on grapple if need be but I

don't think he's going to in this fight

I think you should keep it on the feet

so yeah this is a this is an interesting

fight I I'll be honest I went back and

forth a million

times

but I'm going to go with to Israel I

don't know why my gut thinks he's going

to get this one done it's going to be

very close fight I think it'll be 48 47

one way or another maybe even split I

don't see a finish I would look at the

overs in this fight but um yeah I think

Israel gets it ever so slightly 48 47 I

think he wins like you know like round

one and 14 and something or something

like that because I do think dupi will

win two rounds but I think the Striking

is going to look better on the Israel

side I think it's going to land some

very good shots um maybe do some damage

on dri's face which is gonna sway the

judges one way or another and uh but if

Dy can get that wrestling and grappling

going uh make this a dirty fight don't

make it get a clean kickboxing fight

which he usually never does so it'll be

a close one but I just think the more

impactful shots are going to come from

Israel and I think it's just going to be

a little bit too much for dricus as the

fight goes on

so Israel by decision that's what I'm

going to look

at but all right guys that is it that's
