Shogun looked so old against Lil Nog, it was very hard to watch both men and they were almost in slow motion. It was one of the saddest fights I've seen, and I believe Shogun should have retired as Lil Nog did after the fight.

Not sure but I think OSP will take this by TKO.

Yeah shogun hasn’t fought in almost 2 years and the last time he fought he tapped to strikes… against bjj guy paul Craig. OSP has looked terrible but she should probably be able to ko shogun. I feel like if shogun gets hit cleanly he will give up

I dont know, theres no significant bout other then the main event. I know Dumont could secure her title shot here and Royval-Schnell are ranked fighter but i'm not very excited for those fight.

I think this looks similar to the Hooker KO, or maybe even his KO of Patricky. BAD fight for Tony

Oliveira vs. Gaethje
Justin Gaethje, TKO, R1
I like Charles and his win streak, but I didn't like how easily Chandler and Poirier dropped him in the very first round. I can see Gaethje putting him away with a left hook

Cerrone vs. Lauzon
Donald Cerrone, TKO, R3
we're about to find out who has a stronger chin between two guys who can hardly take clean shots anymore

Chandler vs. Ferguson
Michael Chandler, TKO, R1
This officially marks the end of Tony's UFC run as a ranked contender imo. I can't believe what that Justin fight did to him.

Brown vs. Williams
Khaos Williams, TKO, R1
great fight

OSP vs. Shogun
I think a lot of people are going to be surprised. OSP is very bad now (see his fight vs Hill or Boser lol) and Craig is a lot better and more aggressive. Not saying Shogun won't get KO"d but I think he just got really tired last time.

Chandler vs. Ferguson
Michael Chandler, TKO, R3
This is a good match-up with regards to their styles for me, but I don't like it in terms of where these guys are at right now. They are both pressure fighters and there will probably be a hell of a first round, but Chandler is going to land more and also get hit less, and as long as he can keep that up through the second and third, I think this will look similar to the Ferguson-Gaethje fight. I see Chandler beating Ferguson up pretty bad and taking the decision or maybe we see a cumulative stoppage in the third round. I think Ferguson should have been given a break and had a fight further down the rankings, maybe Green, Dober or Ferreira off the top of my head. I also think it would be fair if he was McGregor's return opponent - that's a fight that should have happened a long time ago.
