Another Weekend At The Apex!

The Apex Advantage: Intimate Fights and Intense Action

While some fans may complain about frequent UFC Apex events, our hosts appreciate the close-up view of technical striking and high-level coaching instructions. These smaller venue fights bring a unique atmosphere, allowing spectators to hear every punch, kick, and strategy call from the corners.

Fight Card Breakdown & Predictions

Women’s Bantamweight: Julia Avila vs. Jacqueline Cavalcanti

Avila faces a tough test against the up-and-coming Cavalcanti, who has been on a hot streak. With strong striking and solid defense, Cavalcanti is expected to outwork Avila, potentially earning a decision or an early finish.

Prediction: Jacqueline Cavalcanti by decision or TKO.

Heavyweight: Don’Tale Mayes vs. Valter Walker

This matchup is a wild card. While Mayes has shown flashes of brilliance, inconsistency plagues his game. Walker, the younger and more aggressive fighter, might edge out a victory with superior endurance and striking.

Prediction: Valter Walker by TKO.

Welterweight: Gabriel Bonfim vs. Khaos Williams

Williams has knockout power, but Bonfim's technical skills and grappling give him the edge. If Bonfim avoids the big shots, he should secure a win either via submission or decision.

Prediction: Gabriel Bonfim by submission.

Flyweight: Jesus Aguilar vs. Rafael Estevam

Estevam’s year-long hiatus raises concerns, but he remains the superior grappler. However, Aguilar's underdog status makes him a tempting pick, given his knockout and submission abilities.

Prediction: Rafael Estevam by decision, but Aguilar is a live underdog.

Co-Main Event: Calvin Kattar vs. Youssef Zalal

A thrilling featherweight contest, Kattar is known for his boxing, while Zalal brings relentless energy and wrestling. Zalal’s footwork and ability to control pace should give him the advantage.

Prediction: Youssef Zalal by decision.

Main Event: Jared Cannonier vs. Gregory “Robocop” Rodrigues

Cannonier is a veteran, but at 40 years old, age might be catching up. Rodrigues, on the other hand, is in his prime and has been dominant in recent performances. Expect fireworks in this bout, but Rodrigues' youth and power should prevail.

Prediction: Gregory Rodrigues by KO/TKO.
