Main Card on ESPN+:
Chan Sung Jung -185 vs. Brian Ortega +160
Since his return from military service in the "land of the morning calm," "The Korean Zombie" has gone 3-1 with the lone loss being a last second hellbow loss to Yair Rodriguez which was bananas. Believe it or not, we think Jung has been overlooked in the division a bit and this is his moment to shine and get another shot at the belt.
"T-City" has been shut down for a couple of years battling injuries and recovering from the shit kicking he received from Max Holloway. Ortega is the stellar Jiu-Jitsu player with heavy hands and has improved the boxing game.
Hey Chan, stay off the goddamn ground! Just a little friendly advice from MMAFO. The more Jung can keep this standing, the better off he'll be. Work, work, work and let the cardio of the "Zombie" wear and frustrate Brian. People have kinda fallen in love with Bry but we stay loyal to the "Zombie" and his ability to do what Holloway did, and expose the slower Ortega, while turning it on late to pull away if not outright stop the Californian, with a few ground scares along the way.
WiNNER-Chan Sung Jung by Decision
Katlyn Chookagian +130 vs. Jessica Andrade -150
Okay, what are we doing here? Chookagian had a nice thing going. "The Blonde Fighter" got a title shot (though she lost to Valentina Shevchenko), got a little revenge defeating champs sister Antonina Shevchenko, and now the UFC tosses her in the Octagon with Andrade?
Dude, this is the type of opponent Jessica feasts upon. Katlyn has zero ground game, and she's pillow fisted. "Bate Estaca" has all the power you can pack into a woman's 115 lb. frame, and is a talented grappler.
Andrade should be a -1000 favorite here. We have no idea what Kate can do to Jessica and this may be a Halloween massacre.

Thomas Almeida -135 vs. Jonathan Martinez +155
Yaaaay, "Thominhas" is back! MMAFO loves us some old school Chute Boxe and Almeida is as close as you can get in the modern era. Dude just brutes forward slangin' hooks and looks evil as hell.
"Dragon" has done alright for himself going 3-2 in the promotion but make no mistake about it, this is a test for Almeida.
Thomas was cruising his way toward the title back in '15 until he was decapitated by Cody Garbrandt the next year. Almeida has always had a bit of a suspect chin as he seems to get hurt and or dropped in every outing and it finally caught up. A nice win was followed by a loss to Jimmie Rivera and then another (T)KO loss this time to Rob Font. At this point the chin issue is more than a worry but taking a couple of years off was the smartest thing he could do. Now rested, we shall see if he can return to his old form while protecting himself from those disastrous knockouts.
