Goddamn, this is the most stacked card of the year so far I think, this looks ******* awesome. Also please tell me that this is actually the new date for Hardy vs Spivak, that's an advantage for Spivak I think. Hopefully Hardy is having to reduce his training due to injury and he'll come in unprepared. Genuinely hope he gets beat into retirement, I hate that guy.

How is Elliott vs Tagir a mismatch? Tagir barely beat Nascimento and Elliott is ranked above him.

Hyped for this poster. Hopefully they do the usual face off rather than something too experimenting, as i feel an intense face off would really show the heated rivalry rather than both of them standing doing some cringe pose

Nah Reynolds is right nascimento is pretty good but I feel like tagir just won because of top control. It wasn’t a robbery per se but you could have easily given the fight to nascimento because he was actually active off of his back. I think Elliot wins because he’s gonna do too much stuff for tagir. Tagir wants nothing more than to take you down and lay on you for 15 but Tim is going to be awkward on the feet and is a decent wrestler himself. He’s also just always doing stuff which I think is gonna be confusing for tagir because again, tagir doesn’t like fast paced fights

Tim Elliot has a negative fight IQ, I can't pick him or I'll be screaming at the tv the whole time. I can't imagine betting on him, I'd lose my mind

That’s true but I just can’t buy into the tagir hype. It’s so annoying trying to call someone a prospect when they lie on top of the opponent the whole time

Also Tim Elliot only beaten one UFC level guy in Lois Smolka, also has a 6-10 record in the promotion, I don’t think Tim Elliot is that good, the only reason he’s still in the promotion is that he’s fun to watch and most likely fights for cheap 

Tagir on the flip side is a undefeated Russian with his two wins being solid, I be shocked if Tagir drops the ball on this one, the UFC knows what they doing, Tim Elliot has a big name an is 1-10 in the promotion against UFC level fighters, Tagir is a lock as he UFC level

Probably I just want to fade tagir. It really is crazy when u look at his record. But at the same time look who he’s losing to. Besides Ben Nguyen he’s literally lost to only elite comp and I hardly rate tagir on the level of any of those guys. Like I said earlier tho, I hardly doubt he gets the biggest win of his career here

Wym like fake beef? It probably started one sided (as in Colby started it as his character) but they definitely don’t like each other now

It just seems like two friends about to make big paychecks together. We all know the Usman/Covington beef was fake. These guys were actually friends before so it seems like a WWE storyline. Don't they both have connections to "Wrestling"? And now Masvidal talking about gambling debts, and Covington speaking about his ex-wife, it just seems like more fake storylines. Seems ingenuine to me and I can see the handshake and hug after the fight coming. I was just curious if majority of fans think its real.
