Hope they get Hooker vs Moicano on it, this card would become a good PPV with that on it, And with PPV price being so high, they should try and make it worth the money, I think I favour Moicano because of momutum, but I think it a good stylistic matchup for Hooker

Not a bad Main card, this is my guess for it
Islam vs Volk
Yair vs Emmet
Hooker vs Moicano
Pedro vs Mianang Zhang- rather have Crute vs Menifield, 
JDM vs Brown

Brown vs. Maddalena
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R2
Randy is solid and is really slick but he's gonna get crushed here. I see him avoiding the big shots and accuracy in the first round but Jack will slowly start to pick it up and finish Randy in the 2nd

@ Anyone who knows

Predictions: 3 of 5 Winners, 0 Perfect, 180 Points   |   Tied for 4891st

Question - If I have the entire fight card visible on the event page, it says Don Shainis is ranked at #201 (worldwide), but when I click the link to his page, it says he's ranked at #125 (worldwide)
I've seen this disparity before with other fighters - anyone know what gives?????

He trains with Charlie Olives but I don’t think it will matter much. His wins aren’t against good competition and he’s lost recently to guys Zubaira is much better than

37% for Volkanovski? What are you guys smoking? How is he going to win anything against Islam who is practically a welterweight squeezing into the lightweight division, way bigger both in muscle mass and height, has decades of wrestling experience/skill, has KO power? Volk is fast and has heart but he is way too small at lightweight. Yes he won't be cutting weight that much but how is that going to translate into a higher division? Is he KOing Makhachev? No, he has no KO power. Most of his fights go to decision. Submitting Makhachev? No. He has no submissions in the UFC. Just how is he going to destroy Islam who just dominated the best submission artist at his own game? The only grappler/wrestler Volk has faced was Mendes. Holloway, Ortega, Zombie, Aldo are all strikers. Makhachev will run through him just like he did with Oliveira. Volk should stay at featherweight and run through everyone and keep his streak going.

Ik I’m very dissapointed by this replacement. It seems like they wanted to give zuba an easy win instead of fair matchmaking. This dude they signed is just gonna go 0-2 and back to the regionals in no time

Idk about kissing Khabib's team ass... he was probably gonna get KO'ed by Alvarez, wouldn't say that's very favorable matchmaking

But he at least had a path to victory. All three of his previous matchups were difficult but winnable. Now that Joel is out they’re just giving him a freebie. Almeida is a sloppy brawler, could he have beaten zuba? Sure, but he has ****** tdd and exposes his chin a lot. Nate is a dog but not on the level of zuba, and Joel, as big as he is has 0 tdd. They were trying to give him winnable fights that were at least competitve and now he’s getting a total squash match. It’s just kinda weird
