Haven't been this pumped for a card in some time. Also the first card I've actually bought in some time.

Yep it's a good one. Most looking forward to, in this order:
- RDA vs Covington
- Whittaker vs Romero
- Oliveira vs Guida (I feel like Oliveira has so much potential, I love watching him fight)
- Bektic vs Lamas

And then maybe the heavyweights... Overeem, Tuivasa, etc.

This card is great because it will set the course for a few weight classes as well. I mean there is basically a flw title shot on the line, and that fight happens on fight pass. If Anderson wins, I'm assuming she gets cyborg. Winner of Rda vs Colby should fight for the title (this shouldn't be an interim title fight but glad it's 5 rounds). If Romero wins, he's a factor at 205 instantly. And if Bobby Knucks wins, he is the best mw in the world.

Santiago is now 0-3 in the UFC. He should probably be cut.

Olivera shows flashes of greatness but always falls short when it really matters.

I'm glad they are really playing up Whittaker's 1st win against Yoel. That was an incredible win. One of the most impressive performances given what happened in the 1st round.

Benevidez got over aggressive there and got clipped.

@bigj yes that's what happens with Oliveira but I keep hoping he can break through

Pettis dropped Benevidez so it is probably his round.
