Caio Barralho (14-1-1) vs Abus Magomedov (?)

Ismael Bonfim (?) vs Vinc Pichel (14-3)
Some pretty good fights.
Almeida vs Lewis is the typical wrestler/JJ vs Striker. Both are savages. Lewis looked invigorated in his last fight. Almeida has been tearing through everybody. His only 2 loses were when he was just starting, or rather back in like 2018. He is undefeated (6-0) in the UFC and has a lot of hype behind him.
I can't remember which Bonfim is which, lol. IIRC, I think Garbiel is the more talked about brother with a better record?
Caio Barralho has got a lot better, awkward style, but a big athletic guy. I think Abus is the guy that Sean Strickland beat prior to the fight he had for the title. Abus had a super strong round against Strickland, then he came out in the 2nd round gassed and Sean poured it on him. He had a lot of hype prior to that fight. If he can pace himself and not dump his energy, he seems to be really good.
Vieira/Petrosyan is another JJ phenom vs a striker. Viera will strike, but he is a ground guy form sure. If he does not utilize his ground game, he could lose. I can't remember how versed Petrosyan's ground game is, I want to say it is not very good. I'd have to look that up though, and he does not have a wiki entry.
Bonfim/Pichel should be a banger. Pichel is super cocky and pretty damn good.
THOUGHTS?
