Krylov is 12 years younger than Teixeira and the Russian has proven he can win with both his striking and his jiu-jitsu, while his most recent win over Ovince Saint Preux suggests he could be primed for a run.

Todd Duffee vs. Jeff Hughes, heavyweight

It has been four years since fans last got the chance to see Todd Duffee in the octagon, but the guy has always been a knockout artist in the purest sense of the term. Win or lose, the 33-year-old is more than willing to take a punch to land a punch.

Duffee’s matched up against Jeff Hughes, who made his way to the UFC with a big knockout on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series before dropping his most recent fight to Maurice Greene.

No. 15 David Branch vs. Andrew Sanchez, middleweight

Since returning to the UFC in 2017, Branch has fought some of the best in the company. He beat Thiago Santos — who is taking on Jon Jones for the light-heavyweight belt at UFC 239 in July — and has been relentless in his pursuit of opponents around the octagon.

Sanchez, meanwhile, is coming off two impressive wins over Marc-Andre Barriault and Markus Perez and is looking to break into the middleweight division’s top-15 with a win.

No. 13 Marcin Tybura vs. Augusto Sakai, heavyweight

Tybura is the bigger name of these two, having beaten the likes of Andrei Arlovkski and Stefan Struve.

Keep an eye on Sakai, though. He’s also coming off a close win over Arlovski himself and could rise in the heavyweight rankings quickly if he can add to the two wins he has already put together after TKOing Marcos Conrado Jr. on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series.

No. 13 Antonio Carlos Junior vs. No. 14 Uriah Hall, middleweight

After picking up five straight wins, Carlos Junior looked like he was on a rocket right towards the top of the 185-pound division. A decision loss to Ian Heinisch in May slowed that down a little bit, but a win over Hall would put him right on track. The guy is dangerous anywhere and everywhere.

Hall has been in the UFC since 2013 and there have been some ups and downs, but he has seemingly fought every big name in the middleweight division and has come away with some big, impressive wins. He’s a cagey veteran and can give anyone trouble.
