11 fight PPV with women's Bantamweight champ as the main event, but there are some storylines for sure, like Charles' /Dariush holding up the card with the winner likely set up for Islam in Abu Dhabi.

Nunes has a tough opponent, I would like to see Aldana win. Some interesting fights up and down the card but 11 total fights. Cheers guys

All four have been sweet thus far. What a shot by Zahabi!

Oliveira is still that **** dude. No other fight makes sense for Islam than running it back, not after that performance and how electric that crowd was for Charles.

And I’m not as low on his chances in a rematch as many others seem to be. I would still favor Islam, but Charles can win that fight.

Main event was beyond trash. Aldana absolutely bottled it.

Yeah Dupp, Aldama did literally nothing the entire fight. I agree with the 50-44 judging, even if Nunes should've just finished Aldama and punched her out, it was just a good win to retire but not a great fight. Terrible to challenge the belt like that and fight scared. Pennington and Pena for next bantamweight title I hope.

Featherweight women's needs some attn idk what they will do, there is a fight in that division soon but maybe UFC needs to consolidate it with another promotion or just remove it from their spectrum.

Islam better take that fight. Guy's already acting like a primadona. Fight Charles.

Also interesting is this talk of Charles' punching power.
