I have a feeling Jiri Prochazka is gonna get caught and cracked in the chin then get starched. Dunno... It's just from Prochazka's matches he leaves himself wide open.
As for Aspinall, I have him to win but if he keeps getting his chin high up Pav could put him to sleep too. Both these underdogs are live.
Anyway, I see some familiar names in there but nothing particularly sticks out as far as good match ups go except for the main and the co main events.

If Jiri Prochazka could get the takedown faster then he doesn't need to worry about the knockout power of Pereira, but for sure Alex Pereira has trained in the wings of Glover Texeira and for sure Texeira wants his kid to win against Jiri Prochazka as he got unfinished business with Prochazka for sure, for me this is a very interesting match for me I still don't know who's I going to pick but looking back at their past matches for sure,
Choosing the strategy for this fight won't be easy for Jiri. He himself prefers striking, but will be facing someone who's (on paper) better than him in at it. I don't expect he will try to move the fight to the ground. Maybe he'll be attempting some takedowns in an effort to score some points and win rounds. But if the samurai mentality kicks in, we may see a real slug fest.
This fight has really good entertainment potential.
In my opinion, Jiri Prochazka is aware of the danger of Alex Pereira's striking and knockout power I think Jiri Prochazka will try everything in his power to win this one and I think he can not afford to lose it, for sure Prochazka would want to try his striking and could try the waters but I think he will have a realization and go for the fight on the ground,
Imho Pereira just land heavier strikes then Jiri and it will be enough to win. I really doubt Jiri gonna have an advantage on the ground, because that is not just his field. It will be pure kickboxing vs muay thai, where reach and power of Pereira would do all the work. Pereira won Polish power, and he had better wrestling than Jiri. Also Jiri is less powerfull than Blachowicz. Plus Jiri would be cautious because of operatuon he had.
Jiri Prochazka had a great performance against Glover Texeira even though he is not into ground fights I think he can pull this up for me Jiri can adjust to the situation even though if he wants to pursue this fight on a stand-up he will go into a realization that he needs to get this fight into the ground because for sure it is not safe for him, to go toe to toe with Alex Pereira,
