Alexander Hernandez (14-7-0) has hit a rough patch since February 2022 with one win and three losses inside the UFC octagon. The 31-year-old is coming off a close decision loss to Bill Algeo, which is decent form for a fight like this, but might need a win to regain his confidence and turn his fortunes around. Hernandez does his best work when applying relentless pressure on his opponents and utilising his long reach to dictate the range.

Damon Jackson (22-6-1) has dropped his last two appearances after building a nice four-fight win streak. He was competitive in his most recent outing against Billy Quarantillo, losing by unanimous decision. The 35-year-old is still a durable athlete, and if he can close the distance and land a takedown or two, he might cause an upset.

Morgan Charriere (19-9-1) has a single UFC appearance on his record, scoring a tidy first-round knockout over Manolo Zecchini. The 28-year-old earned his contract with a three-fight win streak with Cage Warriors and might be ready to press ahead and fulfil his potential. The Frenchman strikes with power and precision and boasts 11 KO wins as a professional MMA fighter.

Chepe Mariscal (15-6-0) made his UFC debut in 2023 and has produced a pair of winning performances in the premier promotion. The 31-year-old is a busy fighter who can swarm an opponent when the opportunity arises. He mixes heavy shots with point-scoring combinations, and after a long career on the provincial circuit, he will relish the chance to make a name for himself.

Ignacio Bahamondes (14-5-0) is coming off a disappointing decision loss to Ludovit Klein after failing to capitalise on early chances. The defeat broke a three-fight win streak that included one knockout, one submission, and a unanimous decision victory. The 26-year-old will enjoy a handy height and reach advantage here and is favoured to bounce back into the winner’s circle.

Christos Giagos (20-11-0) has lost three of his last four UFC appearances, albeit against commendable opposition. He was choked out by Daniel Zellhuber and Thiago Moises, and was knocked out by the impressive featherweight talent Arman Tsarukyan. The 34-year-old can get a little loose defensively and will need to be watchful against a dangerous striker.

Brazil Nationality Poland

Valter Walker (11-0-0) makes his UFC debut after building a perfect winning record in a range of minor MMA promotions. This type of form is difficult to assess, but the 26-year-old looks to possess some talent. He stands tall at 6’6’’ and should tip the scales at the heavyweight limit of 265 pounds. We are only guessing at his prospects, but this should be an entertaining encounter.

Lukasz Brzeski (8-4-1) has fought thrice at UFC level but is yet to have his hand raised. He opened with a close split-decision loss to Martin Buday and was then beaten again on points by Karl Williams, before being stopped in the opening round by the hard-hitting Waldo Cortes-Accosta. The 31-year-old should have an agility advantage and will need to evade the early heavy strikes expected to come from Walker.
