Should be half decent? Maybe even top notch? Good start times from Miami as well.

Hey! Yea some good fights on this card tbh.

For folks at home who might've not caught the news, Topuria vacated the featherweight belt and he's going up to lightweight (155)

So this is for the featherweight belt and would make Volk 2x champ should he win. Lopes 1st Title shot.

We're not seeing McGregor anytime soon even though he's contracted to fight Chandler after TUF. so Chandler's just going on fighting ppl and losing mostly, and I think that could happen here again. If Mac comes back he has to fight Chandler it seems so no one cares about that and Mac's a coke head and trying to be a slimy politician anyways. Pimblett is a good grappler, Chandler DEC or Pimblet ITD for me, leaning the latter.

Pitbull just left Bellator/PFL and hated it there so he's debuting in the UFC, I think he'll fare well against no TDD Yair. Pitbull will wrassle' and Yair only wins by perfect placed KO

Mitchell made public comments supporting the Third Reich and Hitler so I hope he gets thrashed by Jean Silva.


Also Dom Reyes, Jim Miller, and a huge Women's flyweight [Yan v Jandrioba] match are on this card
Cheers

I mentioned some of the main card before but there's the full card.

I mean, just rambling here but I'm not that thrilled with most of the prelim fights..
Cornolle/Cowan I don't really know either. picking DEC Cornolle because in one fight I've seen she was just a bit better.
Gore is a can and is fighting Tulio. Okay, that could be a KO for Tulio.
Sumerdaerji and Raposo are fighting up the ladder, can't say I know much of either but they are feisty, could be a scrap.
Dumas is a guy who looked great against Contender Series fighters but every fight since then he's looked really poor on the ground, he's fighting a tough Polish guy named Oleksiejczuk and I just feel like it's imbalanced fight and a finish for the Polish fighter is incoming.
Elkins and Erosa will be a fun fight, but Elkins is up for a tough challenge here.
Legend Jim Miller v Chase Hooper - they keep giving Hooper these older dudes, but both fighters are great BJJ and this could be a fun one.
Jandiroba v Yan is for sure my prelim FOTN before we hear the first bell. I'm not like the biggest WMMA follower but both have been right on the cusp of title-contention, and this should be a main-card fight, so despite their non-stardom I think we're in for a great one here.
Dan Ige v Woodson is the final prelim and it's gonna be a weird one bc Woodson is super tall for the division and Ige is well known to get KOs. Woodson could control distance or use his grappling, but Ige could just catch the chin of a taller guy as he gets in the pocket. Coinflip.
Cheers

Really good card.

Main event, Silva vs Bryce and Yair vs pitbull are the ones I’m looking toward to most.

Silva really had the it factor. One more then give him the title.
