UFC Vegas 106 is the next big event of the UFC, and there are some exciting fights ready to go at the UFC Apex.
Unbelved star Michael Morales stands for his greatest threat so far while hiring Brazilian hunter Gilbert Burns in the main event.
Both men want to climb the ranking with a view to a future title shot, in a fight that was initially planned for both UFC 314 and UFC 315.
Elsewhere, the CO-Main event Paul Craig sees Rodolfo Bellato. Craig is on a bad form, after he has lost 5 of his last 6 fights, while Bellato has won one and has signed one of his first two fights in the UFC and seems to have a bright future.
In the meantime, other attacks are Sodiq Yusuff vs. Mairon Santos, Dustin Stoltzfus vs. Nursulton Ruziboev and Julian Erosa vs. Melquizel Costa on a packaged map in Las Vegas.

Gilbert Burns vs Michael Morales predictions
- Kyle Dimond – Michael Morales
- Jamie Theodosi – Gilbert Burns
- Harvey Leonard – Gilbert Burns
The bloody elbow experts are divided on who will win the UFC Vegas 106 main event.
Kyle sees the unbeaten Morales continue his streak and keep climbing the ranking, hoping to obtain a title fight against Jack della Maddalena in the near future.
The Ecuadorian hunter comes from a big win in which Morales Neil Magny eliminated to extend his undefeated line in the UFC to 5 victories without defeat.
Jamie and Harvey, however, agreed with Burns that he “cannot afford to lose” to Morales and to support the Brazilian to end his losing series in Las Vegas.
Losing Sean Brady, Della Maddalena and Belal Muhammad have seen him tumbling the ranking, and the 38-year-old career can be in danger if he does not win this fight.
The experts think it will be enough to motivate him to win the UFC Vegas 106 main event.
Paul Craig vs Rodolfo Bellato predictions
- Kyle Dimond – Rodolfo Bellato
- Jamie Theodosi – Rodolfo Bellato
- Harvey Leonard – Rodolfo Bellato
The Co-Main event seems to be a foregone conclusion, because the bloody elbow experts are sure that Bellato Craig will beat in an easy victory in Las Vegas.
With his best years behind him and a bad record in recent years, Craig does not seem to have much chance of his Brazilian opponent.
Despite the fact that Joe Rogan compliments the guard of Craig, the 37 is at the age of 37 and forms against him in this fight. Bellato should be too much for the Scot, and the experts predict that the result is clear – Bellato wins.
Vecht van de Nacht
- Kyle Dimond – Julian Erosa vs. Melquizel Costa
- Jamie Theodosi – Sodiq Yusuff vs. Mairon Santos
- Harvey Leonard-Park Hyun-Sung vs. Carlos Hernandez
With three different choices for the night's fight, UFC Vegas 106 seems to have an exciting menu for the UFC fans to enjoy.
Kyle looks the most to Julian Erosa vs. Melquizel Costa. Erosa has difficulty maintaining a presence in the UFC in the last 5 years, and this fight against Costa could be his last chance to strengthen itself in the big promotion.
This motivation may not be enough to defeat the young person, more athletic costa, although this can be a close fight that will surprise fans in Vegas.
In the meantime, Jamie Sodiq Yusuff vs. Mairon Santos will win the cash bonus for the fight of the night. This is an important fight for both men, because Yusuff has suffered back-to-back defeats in his last two fights, while Santos wants to keep his undefeated streak since he attended the promotion in the promotion.
It should be a close struggle where everything could happen, making it an exciting prospect for fighting the night.
Finally, Harvey's choice to win the prize will be the collision between Park Hyun-Sung and Carlos Hernandez. Park won the fight of the night in his last fight and will want to do the same if he is opposite Hernandez in Las Vegas.
Execution of the night
- Kyle Dimond – Sodiq Yusuff
- Jamie Theodosi – Melquizel Costa
- Harvey Leonard – Melquizel Costa
Kyle is pleased to see Yusuff returning from recent defeats and predicts that he will put a performance of the night against Santos.
Although Santos is perhaps the favorite based on recent plates, a large upset can be on the maps for Yusuff. Santos is so far sharp in his fighting and has a history of Big Ko's, something that Yusuff will want to encounter at UFC Vegas 106 with his own knockout victory
However, Jamie and Harvey think that the Brazilian Costa could make it four in a row against Erosa with a great achievement.
With both men with two entries in their last three fights, this should be an exciting, technical competition for fans of the UFC.
They think Costa comes at the top of what a huge company and a performance of the night will be at UFC Vegas 106.
