Command Analysis

Kelvin Gastelum

Current form
Calvin Gastelum is the guy who burst into the UFC like a train without brakes. In 2013, he won the title of The Ultimate Fighter winner, and then signed a contract with the most prestigious league in the world. He had a crazy start.: three wins in a row, everyone was discussing his powerful drive and frenzied physics. But then the roller coaster began – the victories, the defeats.
Kelvin has won twice in the last five fights, beating Daniel Rodriguez and Chris Curtis. But, alas, he was defeated by Sean Brady, Jared Cannonier and former champion Robert Whittaker. Despite this, the 33-year-old remains a formidable force in the octagon. He is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and if it comes to the ground floor, few people will want to be under him. Gastelum is currently ranked 34th in the world ranking of his division, but he is not going to stay there.

Joseph Pyfer

Current form
Joe Pifer is the fighter who goes after the head of everyone who gets in his way. A former champion of Art of War Cage Fighting and Ring of Combat, he broke into the UFC and immediately began to destroy rivals. His style is a fusion of power, speed and technique, making him one of the most dangerous punchers in the division.
In the last seven fights, he won six times. In June 2024, Pifer turned off the lights to Canadian Marc-Andre Barrio in the first round. However, his winning streak was interrupted when he faced Jack Hermansson, who forced Joe to work at a distance and won by unanimous decision.
In the UFC, he also eliminated Abdul Razak Alhassan, Gerald Merschart and Alain Amedowski. The 28-year-old fighter has 15 wins, 11 of which are by knockouts. Pifer is currently ranked 20th in the world, but this is clearly not the limit of his ambitions.

1.97Tip and bets
It's a clash of two generations and two different styles. Gastelum is a good old veteran who fought with the elite and is not afraid of the war in the octagon. He has an iron jaw, but there are questions about his stamina and ability to adapt in battle. Pifer is young, hungry and powerful. He knows how not only to break apart opponents in a stand, but also to use his wrestling. However, his defeat by Hermansson showed that he could run out of steam if the fight dragged on. Piper has the advantage in this fight. He will dominate in the first minutes, and if he feels the moment, he will not give Gastelum a chance.
Our prediction is that Piper will win by a 2.60 decision.
