Finally a great card (on paper at least)!

Featherweight Championship bout: Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes I'm going for Volk. Even though he was knocked out twice in a row, he's had some time off. Lopes has to get him out there early. Goes past 2 rounds, Volk should win fairly comfortably. We shall see how his chin holds up.

Lightweight bout: Michael Chandler vs. Paddy Pimblett This is a tough one to call. Chandler really wasted a lot of time waiting for Conor. So he's going for the mouthy less profitable English version instead. Paddy leaves his chin out quite a bit so I'm going for a Chandler knockout.

Featherweight bout: Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva Silva hopefully with the knockout!

Featherweight bout: Yair Rodriguez vs. Patricio Pitbull I don't know much about Pitbull (never seen him fight), but I will take him for the win as Yair seems very erratic.

Light Heavyweight bout: Nikita Krylov vs. Dominick Reyes Reyes might have won his last fight but it was against a sad Anthony Smith. Krylov is dangerous and he gets the win here.

Real shame we lost Neal vs. Prates. Hopefully we don't lose more fights.

That PFLator card……woof

Mando Gutierrez on the main card, he lost to Rosas on DWCS if I remember correctly. Not a good fighter!

This card got wrecked by pullouts, particularly in BW, Magomed Magomedov, Sarvarjon Khamidov, Taila Santos, Ciaran Clarke, Zebenzui Ruiz, Ali Taleb all pulled out within the last couple weeks

Came here to say the same thing!


Volk-Lopes : I know he's 36 and been KO'ed a few times recently, but it's still tough to pick against Volk. I'm still a little skeptical of Lopes, too. Age is the only thing stopping me from leaning heavy to Volk.

Chandler-Paddy : I think Chandler knocks Paddy out. Paddy could give him a challenge on the ground, if he can get it there, though.

Mitchell-Silva : Hopefully a Silva KO. Think that's a pretty likely outcome, too.

Yair-Pitbull : I think Pitbull's making the jump to the UFC too late. Even at his peak, he's probably a top 10, maybe top 5 guy, but I don't think he'd be wrecking the UFC. Give me Yair.

Krylov-Reyes : Krylov's been a bit susceptible to subs in the UFC, but Reyes doesn't present much of a threat there. Krylov is dangerous and has more ways to win. I'll take him.

Even the prelims are pretty good!

I'll tail you on this but how do you think he gets it done?

Leg kicks and back takes (but Chandler is hard to sub so I don’t think he gets the sub)

At 10 to 1 I had to do it

Might also sprinkle on a Chandler KO just to cover my ass

Patty is very hittable and points his chin to God, so I think covering with a Chandler KO is helpful. What else do you have for me to jump on?
 
Early stoppage for Oleksiejczuk, but I bet on him so I won't complain too much.

Really glad that they got the Su Mudaerji decision right but flabbergasted that 1 judge gave Raposo the 3rd round, he landed 3 total strikes to Madaerji's 44. Fight total was 78 to 13, with Raposo only throwing 30 strikes but someone gave him the fight? Embarassing, and I expect some bad decisions to come.
 
Elkins is gonna die in the octagon if the UFC let's him fight again. Somebody needs to sit him down and let him know.

Thats not even the worst stoppage on this card.

Dunno what these idiots are talking about worst stoppage they've ever seen.

Did they miss watching Elkins almost die?
