X-Factor! Check out some UFC Orlando main card predictions

This weekend (Sat., Dec. 3, 2022), Ultimate Fighting Championship will visit Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, for UFC Orlando. The entire main card is booked full of respected sluggers and name fights.

Matheus Nicolau has won five in a row and is 6-1 in the UFC. Matt Schnell is on a five-fight losing streak. The Brazilian is extremely technical and a finishing threat. Schnel is more aggressive and gets knocked down more often than Nicolai. The winner will be in contention for the title. UFC Orlando is taking place on the same card as UFC Las Vegas.

Tai Tuivasa and Sergei Pavlovich are going to fight at UFC Orlando. Tuvasa lost his last bout, whereas Pavrovich has won four straight. The winner will face Derrick Lewis. The loser will fight either Anthony Johnson or Jeremy Lewis in the next round.

I wouldn't advise betting on this fight. Tuivasa's recent knockout loss is a major question mark. He took a ton of damage against Gane. Still, Tuvasa has knocked out better opponents and been in there with the division's best.

Jack Hermansson and Roman Dolidze are going to fight at UFC Orlando. Hermanson won his last bout. Doldze has won three straight. They are European grapplers with funky striking throw down. They will fight in the middleweight division. The winner will get a title shot. It is a classic case of consistency vs. danger. Shemanson is the more consistent round winner.

Eryk Anders and Kyle Daukaus are going to fight each other in middleweight. Anders has lost his last two fights, while Daugaukas lost the last one. Dagaucas is a jiu-jitsu black belt, but he hasn't knocked anyone out in over three years. He should have the advantage on the feet.
