Tommy McMillen vs. David Mgoyan Prediction, Preview
The featherweight matchup between Tommy McMillen (8-0) and David Mgoyan (7-0) on Week 4 of Dana White's Contender Series has all the ingredients to be the fight of the night. Both men are standout prospects with contrasting styles that could make this one of the most compelling fights of the season.
Tommy McMillen enters with a reputation as a sharp striker with high-volume output, drawing influence from his training partner, former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley. He mixes crisp boxing combinations with thudding kicks to both the body and legs, gradually wearing down his opponents.
McMillen also excels in a brawl, utilizing clean counters and excellent footwork to maintain control of the tempo. On the mat, he's opportunistic, with a knack for scrambling to dominant positions and capitalizing on submission openings.
His durability and ability to fight at a high pace could pose trouble for an untested fighter like Mgoyan.
Mgoyan is an undefeated phenom training out of American Top Team who's known for suffocating pressure and elite wrestling. A physical grappler with strong positional control, Mgoyan excels at chaining takedowns together and grinding opponents against the cage until they wilt.
Once grounded, he methodically advances position before working toward submissions or heavy top control. On the feet, Mgoyan carries underrated power in his hands, particularly overhand counters that set up his level changes.
This fight boils down to McMillen's ability to maintain range and utilize his striking versus Mgoyan's relentless takedown attack. If McMillen can keep it standing, his output and clean striking could sway the judges — or secure a knockout.
But if Mgoyan succeeds in dragging this to the mat, his wrestling dominance may smother McMillen's offense and secure another impressive win.
McMillen vs. Mgoyan Prediction: David Mgoyan — 1.5 Takedowns
- David Mgoyan has landed a takedown in all seven of his fights
- David Mgoyan is a training partner of the No. 1-ranked UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan
- David Mgoyan has gone past the first round in two of his last three fights

Eduardo Henrique vs. An Tuan Ho Prediction, Preview
The flyweight showdown between Eduardo "Henrique" Henrique (14-2) and An Tuan Ho (7-1) on Week 4 of Dana White's Contender Series is an exciting matchup that was put together at the last minute.
Ho's original opponent, Frank Silva, had visa issues that ultimately led to his removal from the fight card. Now former TUF contestant Henrique will look to make the most of this opportunity when he locks in to take on Contender Series alum An Tuan Ho.
Henrique enters with serious knockout power, riding the momentum of three straight knockout wins. He combines crisp boxing with sudden bursts of explosive kicks, overwhelming opponents through speed and accuracy.
Henrique's ability to force wild exchanges makes him dangerous at all times. He fights with confidence, trusts his hands to end the fight, and knows that highlight-reel finishes are exactly what Dana White looks for on a Contender Series stage.
However, An Tuan Ho's diverse skill set and methodical approach make him a challenging test. Ho is patient but dangerous; he mixes good wrestling to keep opponents guessing and punishes mistakes with precise counters.
He is a dangerous, UFC-ready prospect due to his ability to adapt mid-fight and control the action.
This matchup ultimately comes down to tempo and execution. If Henrique can keep the fight standing and turn it into a striking showcase, his knockout power may once again steal the spotlight.
But if Tuan Ho disrupts that rhythm with smart counters and timely grappling, he could drag Henrique into deeper waters and score either a decision or submission win.
Henrique vs. Tuan Ho Prediction: Henrique — 38.5 Significant Strikes
- Eduardo Henrique has five first-round finishes
- Eduardo Henrique is coming off back-to-back first-round knockouts
- Eduardo Henrique has seen the judge’s scorecards four times in his 16-fight career
- An Tuan Ho has three first-round finishes
- An Tuan Ho has been to the scorecards two times in his eight-fight career

Theo Haig vs. Cezary Oleksiejczuk Prediction, Preview
The middleweight showdown between undefeated Theo Haig (6-0) and Cezary Oleksiejczuk (15-3) on DWCS Week 4 s is a true clash of styles and arguably the most intriguing fight on the card.
Haig is a high-level submission artist with a reputation for finishing fights on the mat, as all six of his wins have come by submission. Slick in scrambles and deadly off his back, Haig thrives when the fight hits the canvas, chaining together submission attempts with fluid transitions.
Whether it’s armbars, triangles, or rear-naked chokes, he capitalizes on the opportunity to end fights quickly. Haig's most significant strength is his composure under pressure — he’s patient, technical, and dangerous the moment it hits the mat.
Oleksiejczuk brings the opposite threat — knockout power in both hands and the kind of pressure that can change a fight instantly. Known for devastating boxing combinations and a willingness to exchange in the pocket, Oleksiejczuk has ended eight of his fifteen wins by knockout, proving his finishing instincts.
Oleksiejczuk doesn’t need much time or space — one clean shot can erase Haig’s advantages and produce the type of highlight reel finish Dana White loves to see on Tuesday nights.
This fight comes down to control. If Haig can navigate Oleksiejczuk’s power and secure takedowns, his submission game could shine and deliver a statement win. But if Oleksiejczuk keeps it standing, his KO threat looms large.
Haig vs. Oleksiejczuk Prediction: 6.75 Minutes Fight Time
- Oleksiejczuk has eight first-round finishes in his 15 pro wins
- Oleksiejczuk comes into this fight off back-to-back first-round knockouts
- Oleksiejczuk has seen the third round twice in his last five fights
