Guess we can finally say things are back to normal in the world, right? We're getting Fight Nights in cities with crowds, and majority of the fight cancellations are injuries. Idk, maybe it's just wishful thinking.

I'm not surprised, it's such a huge money saver for the UFC using that facility. Just blows my mind that they haven't done any improvements to it other than just make a little bit more space for more fans when they just had a record breaking year in terms of earnings, and ESPN is already giving them something stupid like $300mil upfront for all the costs. The UFC execs have to be rolling in cash, otherwise I have no idea where the hell they are spending all the money.

Decided to attend this event and was super excited to see Lerone Murphy sad to see him go but was almost as excited to see David Onama! Of course his fight gets cancelled! He better step in for Choi

the card still looks good, even for a live card. but im not gonna lie man, some of those fights do look like they could be coin flips: either good or pretty ****, but hey you still get a bunch of other good fights to see. Also there is nothing like that feeling of a live crowd, even if the fights aren't great you'll still have a good time imo

yeah man there is some good match ups for sure! I personally cant wait to see Diakiese vs Borshchev and Dvorak vs Nicolau. I got money on Khizriev, Fiorot and Blaydes. Thinking about Magny and Askarov too maybe!

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 350 Points   |   Tied for 2564th

Blaydes vs. Daukaus
Chris Daukaus, TKO, R1
Tough tough fight to pick I think Chris can hit the chin early tho and end it

Wood vs. Grasso
Alexa Grasso, DEC
Grasso finally back and wood has not looked good recently I’ll definitely take grasso

Askarov vs. Kara-France
Askar Askarov, SUB, R3
Respect Kara France for this but all signs lead to askarov wrestle ****

Brown vs. Barberena
Matt Brown, TKO, R2
Brown always equals war

Oleinik vs. Latifi
Ilir Latifi, DEC
Latifi is gonna dominate aleksei just hope he doesn’t get caught in a crazy sub

McMann vs. Rosa
Sara McMann, SUB, R2
Mcmann still has good wrestling let’s see if she can use it

Dvořák vs. Nicolau
David Dvořák, TKO, R3
Don’t think mattheus has won all the fights he technically won and Dvorak is a beast

Magny vs. Griffin
Neil Magny, DEC
Magny grinds for 15 minutes

Diakiese vs. Borshchev
Marc Diakiese, DEC
This should be a good one I think Marc has the style to avoid slava claus

Saldaña vs. Souza
Bruno Souza, DEC
Souza looked impressive even in his loss was able to do a lot off his back

Danaa vs. Gutierrez
Chris Gutierrez, DEC
Gonna be a good close fight but I’ll edge Chris

Maia vs. Fiorot
Jennifer Maia, DEC
90% sure Maia loses but **** it I gotta pick a dog here and their and Valentina couldn’t finish her so

Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 465 Points   |   Tied for 906th

Blaydes vs. Daukaus
Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R2
Making my picks early this time, on gut feel and what I know. Will not change them unlike last card. I am confident about most of them. Daukaus won't be able to stop Blaydes take downs. R2 Ground and pound.

Wood vs. Grasso
Alexa Grasso, DEC
Grasso is too good, too smooth and her boxing is phenominal. Grappling isn't bad either.

Askarov vs. Kara-France
Askar Askarov, DEC
I have Askar, he is too good on the ground for Kai.

Brown vs. Barberena
Matt Brown, TKO, R1
I don't think this is the same Barberena.

Oleinik vs. Latifi
Ilir Latifi, TKO, R3
If Latifi survives R1 without getting submitted he takes it.

McMann vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
Rosa is very good, McMann is too old.

Dvořák vs. Nicolau
David Dvořák, DEC
Close, close fight, but despite Nicolau's ground game I give this to Dvorak who is the better striker and has better cardio.

Magny vs. Griffin
Neil Magny, DEC
Another close one, I think Magnys style, clinch work and wrestling will be enough,

Diakiese vs. Borshchev
Viacheslav Borshchev, DEC
I would have picked Diakiese, I do not think Slava is as good as everyone says, but Diakiese has been missing for too long and Slava has nice body work

Saldaña vs. Souza
Luis Saldaña, DEC
Saldana is the better striker.

Danaa vs. Gutierrez
Batgerel Danaa, DEC
Batgaerel is better, Chris can be low output.

Maia vs. Fiorot
Manon Fiorot, TKO, R2
Smash spot for Fiori

Khizriev vs. Tiuliulin
Aliaskhab Khizriev, DEC
Better experience, better fighter

I’m considering going with kkf as a dog because I really rate his tdd and askarov has been inconsistent with his td percentages (see the Tim Elliot fight or Brandon Moreno fight for example) but city kickboxing is overrated besides their two champs

I’ve never been so much safer than I am now in Blaydes. It weighs about 7 8 kg ... It moves on its toes, the longer one will use its long jab to create a higher output and make Daukaus do what he does best, and these are serial combinations that are quite easy to bend under the blow and entrance to the double leg. It has perhaps the most explosive input & output both in terms of striking and in terms of wrestling. Mostly he had problems with fighters who can knock out from one blow, and not from a series like Daukaus ... I think he will easily control it with his weight and even break it with his elbows from the mount and reach TKO .. I don't see a way to win for Daukaus.

I agree, I’m a big daukaus fan but I think he’s just outclassed here

Terrible news. Just confirmed that onama will not be fighting on this card despite being listed as tba on the broadcast today. Very weird they wouldn’t let him fight lutz.
