Grasso’s most detailed analysis comes in the flyweight main event, where she backs Natalia Silva to beat Wang Cong by decision. While she recognizes Wang’s power and the storyline behind the matchup, Grasso believes Silva’s movement, footwork and preparation advantage make her the safer selection.
Grasso also takes rising bantamweight Payton Talbott over veteran Deiveson Figueiredo, predicting a decision after highlighting Talbott’s unpredictable style and improved wrestling. At lightweight, she goes against the favorite and selects King Green to beat Esteban Ribovics by decision, citing Green’s experience and composure.
With time running down, Grasso makes a quick call for Khaos Williams to defeat Roberto Soldić by knockout in a power-heavy welterweight contest. Her final pick is Roman Kopylov over Aung La N Sang Gautier, though the closing selection is delivered under pressure and without a full breakdown.

Matchup | Alexa Grasso’s pick | Predicted method | Breakdown | Quote |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Natalia Silva vs. Wang Cong | Natalia Silva | Decision | Grasso sees Silva’s footwork and ability to stay out of range as the decisive factors. She also flags Wang’s shorter preparation time as a meaningful disadvantage, even while acknowledging Wang’s power. | “I think it’s a very secure bet on Natalia. That’s why she’s a favorite.” |
Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Payton Talbott | Payton Talbott | Decision | Grasso frames the matchup as experience versus a new-generation prospect. She favors Talbott’s unusual, unpredictable style and agrees that his improved wrestling could be crucial against Figueiredo. | “He has a very weird style, like different style — unpredictable, not much patterns.” |
King Green vs. Esteban Ribovics | King Green | Decision | This is Grasso’s value upset selection. She respects Ribovics’ aggressive striking and power, but believes Green’s veteran experience and calmness in the cage can carry him through a close fight. | “The experience is here, I think, is a very big factor… I think Green.” |
Roberto Soldić vs. Khaos Williams | Khaos Williams | Knockout | The quickest prediction of the episode comes in a matchup defined by knockout power. Grasso says she needs more information on Soldić but ultimately chooses Williams to end the fight early. | “Khaos by knockout.” |
Ateba Gautier vs. Roman Kopylov | Roman Kopylov | Not specified | With the clock expiring, Grasso selects Kopylov but does not have time to provide a full technical explanation or method prediction. | “Kopylov.” |
Grasso’s clearest pick is Natalia Silva. She identifies Silva’s “great footwork” and evasive movement as the traits most likely to decide the main event. Silva’s undefeated UFC record is part of the case, but Grasso places just as much importance on preparation. In her view, Wang Cong taking the fight on shorter notice could be a major factor against such a mobile opponent.
Grasso does not dismiss Wang’s threat. She calls the pairing “very interesting” and notes the existing history connected to Valentina Shevchenko. Still, she expects Silva to control the pace and range rather than chase a finish.
It’s very hard to reach her.
I think decision.
Grasso describes this bantamweight matchup as the “new generation” facing a proven UFC veteran. Figueiredo brings power, experience and a history of success, but Grasso leans toward Talbott because of his unorthodox approach.
Talbott’s lack of obvious patterns is central to her reasoning. She also agrees that his improved wrestling — highlighted by the host following his fight with Henry Cejudo — could be vital in dealing with Figueiredo’s grappling threat. Despite Talbott’s finishing instincts, Grasso predicts Figueiredo’s toughness takes the bout to the judges.
I think I’m going to take new generation.
I’m going to take decision.
Grasso’s King Green selection is rooted in cage experience. She describes Green as composed and familiar with the moment — someone who approaches a fight as “another day in the office.” Ribovics gets credit for being active, forward-moving and committed to striking, but Grasso feels Green’s years of high-level competition are more valuable than the younger fighter’s momentum.
The pick also stands out because Green is presented as the betting underdog. Grasso does not expect a stoppage, instead predicting that Green’s patience and experience can earn him a decision.
He is like another day in the office, another day in the gym.
I think Green… because of the experience mostly.
Grasso has little time to evaluate the welterweight fight, but the core dynamic is simple: both Soldić and Williams have major finishing power. Soldić enters with an accomplished résumé as a former two-division KSW champion, while Williams is known for his own knockout potential.
After initially saying she needs more information about Soldić, Grasso sides with Williams and calls a knockout. It is the most instinctive pick in her set, rather than one built on a detailed technical breakdown.
Khaos by knockout.
The final prediction arrives as the 365-second clock expires. Grasso chooses Roman Kopylov, but the format leaves no room for an extended explanation, odds discussion or method call. It is a concise final selection in an intentionally fast-paced segment.
Kopylov.
