When: Saturday at 12 AM EST
Where: Tokyo Ariake Arena, Tokyo, Japan
TV / Streaming: PPV

Yuta Hamamoto Vs Ramazan Temurov

We get things started with a Flyweight bout and a pair of in-form fighters. Hamamoto saw his pro career get off to a shaky start, but he has won 4 in a row to get to 5-2 overall. Temurov is 15-2 overall and comes into this one on a 7-fight win streak. I like Temurov to keep it rolling with the KO win here.

Takuya Yamamoto Vs Takeji Yokoyama

We have an interesting Featherweight bout up next, with Yokoyama looking to improve on his perfect 4-0 record. He is in for a tough one, though, with Yamamoto coming in with an 8-2-1 record and 4 wins in his last 5. I like Yamamoto to get the win via KO.

Yuki Ito Vs Erson Yamamoto

We have the Flyweights up next, with both of these fighters in need of a win. Ito is looking to bounce back after taking a loss last time out, but at 13-4 overall, that loss might just be a blip on the radar. Yamamoto has lost 3 of his last 4 and now sits at 3-5 overall. This should be an easy win for Ito.

Betting Pick: Ito | Bet Yuki Ito to Win Today

Atsushi Kishimoto Vs Viktor Kolesnik

Next up is a Lightweight bout with a pair of fighters in great form. Kishimoto has won 4 in a row, improving his overall record to 9-6-2. Kolesnik is 23-6-1 overall and on a serious run of form, winning 5 in a row and 7 of his last 8. A good battle here, but I like Kolesnik for the KO win.

Betting Pick: Kolesnik | Bet Viktor Kolesnik to Win Today

Ulka Sasaki Vs Boys Allen

This Featherweight bout is an interesting one in that both fighters are in need of a win. Sasaki is 23-10-2, but he is struggling of late, losing 4 of his last 5 fights. Allen is going through a rough time, too, losing 2 of his last 3 to fall to 16-5-1. I like this one to go the distance, with Sasaki getting the decision.

Takahiro Ashida Vs Kazumasa Majima

We have a great Featherweight bout up next, with a pair of experienced fighters squaring off. Ashida is 26-12-2 overall and back on track, winning 2 in a row after 2 straight losses. Majima is 14-4, but he is in trouble, losing each of his last 3 fights. I think things will get worse for Majima, as I believe he will lose this one.

Betting Pick: Ashida | Bet Takahiro Ashida to Win Today

John Dodson Vs Tatsuki Saomoto

The Flyweights are up next, with Dodson coming in with a ton of experience, including 17 fights in the UFC. He has won 2 in a row to move to 23-13 overall. Saomoto is 18-2 overall and comes into this one on a 14-fight win streak. I think Dodson takes this one with the KO win.

Betting Pick: Dodson | Bet John Dodson to Win Today

Roberto de Souza Vs Spike Carlyle

A great Lightweight bout is up next, with both fighters looking to bounce back after a loss. De Souza, who was on a 5-fight win streak before the loss, comes into this one with a 14-2 record. It is much the same story for Carlyle, who is 14-4 overall. I like de Souza to get the submission win.

Betting Pick: Souza | Bet Roberto de Souza to Win Today

Naoki Inoue Vs Juan Archuleta

The co-main event of the night looks like a great Bantamweight matchup. Inoue comes in with an impressive 16-3 record and 4 wins in his last 5 fights. Archuleta is 27-4 and has won 2 in a row after losing back-to-back fights. I like this one to go all the way, with Archuleta getting the nod.

Betting Pick: Archuleta | Bet Juan Archuleta to Win Today

Kai Asakura Vs Yuki Motoya

A pair of very good bantamweights take to the octagon for the final fight of the night. Asakura is 19-4 overall, but he has lost 2 of his last 5. No such issues for Motoya, who is 33-10 and winner of 5 in a row. Despite that run of form, I think it will be Asakura who gets the decision win in this one.

Betting Pick: Asakura | Bet Kai Asakura to Win Today
