I find it ironic when DJ was champ Dana wanting nothing more than to shut down the division. Now the universe is literally not wanting the division to continue and Dana just keep trying to make it happen.

@condit I suspect people as wealthy as dana white are not use to not getting what they want. 

He also said in an interview that he was gonna build the women's featherweight division for Amanda Nunez.

so there is also that to look forward to.(sarcasm)

I'm starting to think they should axe both divisions but they should add a women's 105!

From what I've read about Figueiredo he had covid 2 months ago and has showed a random positive the other day but his manager confirms that he is not showing symptoms. they are just hoping its a false positive. If he manages to take one today that comes back negative he will be able to go to Abu Dhabi and still fight

Ramos vs. Tsarukyan
Arman Tsarukyan, DEC
I'm thinking Tsarukyan can use his strength and cardio to out handle and out work Davi for the majority of the fight to eek out a decision win.

Figueiredo vs. Benavidez II
Deiveson Figueiredo, TKO, R3
Don't really see this fight playing out much different from how the first went. I believe Deiveson is sharper, faster, and more explosive than Joseph is. After slowly picking him apart, I seek a stoppage late in the third round or later. I only really see Joseph winning this if he can tire out Deiveson without getting tired himself. He's more than capable of winning this, but I honestly just don't see it.

Johns vs. Jackson
Montel Jackson, DEC
This is very much a pick 'em fight for me. Both are incredibly skilled and well-rounded fighters. Although Johns more of a grappler, and Jackson more of a striker. Thing is, I don't see Johns dominating with grappling here, or Jackson piecing apart Johns with his striking either. You can pick either guy with any method and I wouldn't call you crazy. However, I do feel the safest pick here is Jackson by decision. If Johns can't make this a grappling heavy fight, I think Jackson can be very annoying and strategically outpoint him on the feet with his diverse stand up kit, and most importantly, range. Very much looking forward to this fight though, fun matchup.

Think People are counting out Joey B to much because Figuardo  won't be the same one he fought because he will has to loss an extra 2.5 pounds (1kg). In a game of inchs that is MMA that extra weight can easly facter in to the Ko. Problely still lean Figuardo because he did knock out Benevidaz but if the odd are at  somewhere between  +200 to +300 i might put a bet on Joe

Hermansson vs. Gastelum

Reckon that Hermansson's wrestling ground-and-pound will be too much for Kelvin; that, or Kelvin catches him and TKO's him.

Figueiredo vs. Benavidez II
Deiveson Figueiredo, SUB, R4
Heard that Benavidez is mad from the last fight from the woman sucking on his night stick. Will he be in his feelings for this fight? Perhaps. The **** do I know?!?

Hermansson vs. Gastelum
Jack Hermansson, SUB, R1
3 rounder. Hermanssons Herky Jerky style. He fight just pull an early submission even though Gastelum is a tough SOB. Good fight nonetheless....what do I know?!

Diakiese vs. Fiziev
Rafael Fiziev, DEC

Lipski vs. Carolina

Shooting from the hip and saying that Carolina's going to Thai Fight herself to a 'W'ictory here.

Pantoja vs. Askarov
Askar Askarov, DEC
Guessing on Askarov outstriking Pantoja.

Ibragimov vs. Dolidze
Roman Dolidze, DEC
If there's anything I've learned about Georgian fighters is that they will take you down time and time again. Will this one be any different? Will this one go to decision? What do I know?!

Dawson vs. Narimani
Grant Dawson, DEC
Taking a guess on Dawson winning this fight with takedowns. What do I know?!

Alvarez vs. Duffy
Joel Alvarez, DEC
Don't know either of these guys so I'm just taking a wild guess here. Going with the fighter with the longer reach. What do I know?!

Johns vs. Jackson
Montel Jackson, TKO, R2
Shooting from the hip here. Guessing on Jackson outboxing Johns and probably knocking him out in the 2nd. What do I know?!

Gordon vs. Albazi
Amir Albazi, DEC
Shooting while blindfolded. Don't know either of these guys.

Ramos vs. Tsarukyan
Davi Ramos, SUB, R1
Shooting while blindfolded. Guessing this will be taken to the matt and ended with a submission.

Spivak vs. Felipe
Carlos Felipe, DEC
Shooting while blindfolded
