So that’s why the ufc is putting him on the main card. He is a big name to people who follow wrestling & brings lots of new eyes to the sport. Also I think lawler should be on the main card, but featured prelim isn’t as bad as it looks; it is statistically the spot on the card that gets the most views (because people tune in from other programs ending/people are tuning in right before the ppv starts). So while lawler doesn’t get the prestige of being on the main card, he is at least going to retire in one of the most viewed spots on the card so that’s something at least

Also, Gore put in a majority of a training camp just to pull out and not get paid, Gore would be stupid to pull out now, Instead of either just not taking the fight in the first place, Or just taking the fight, He not going to lose any respect, And he get another fight at the UFC, It literally don't make any sense why he fake a injury, ???

Vitor Petrino, DEC
This is a tough one to predict, both fighters have path to victory. Both guys have suspect chin, petrino was rocked in his contender fight and vs pleasure man, Prachnio once walked (yes, literally walked) into Sam Alvys punch to get KOd. Both guys have similar cardio. Picking Petrino here since he is more explosive and carries power in both hands, throws Uppercuts (which might get prachnio in trouble as he dips his head alot) and hooks. Prachnio can also very well win this fight by maintaining long range and chewing petrinos legs up (petrinos conventional stance opens him up for leg kicks). Don't put either guy in any parleys as both can **** in the proverbial apple pie!!

Alexander Volkanovski, TKO, R4
Yair will make this a dogfight but Volk wear him down late and finish him.
Moreno vs. Pantoja III
Alexandre Pantoja, DEC
Pantoja has waited a while for this opportunity and will utilize his grappling.
Whittaker vs. Du Plessis
Robert Whittaker, DEC
Rob will fraud check DDP.
Hooker vs. Turner
Jalin Turner, SUB, R3
Jalin's grappling is legit and he'll push a pace on poor Dan.
Nickal vs. Woodburn
Bo Nickal, SUB, R1
Give Bo two minutes.
Lawler vs. Price
Niko Price, TKO, R2
Robbie just doesn't have it any more and Niko can fight like a maniac.
Maddalena vs. Harrell
Jack Della Maddalena, TKO, R2
JDM boxing too slick.
Jauregui vs. Gomes
Yazmin Jauregui, DEC
Yazmin is decent but Denise isn't a slouch. Should be more competitive than most think but Jauregui should pull it off.
Crute vs. Menifield II
Jimmy Crute, SUB, R1
Jimmy will grapple and finish.
Cháirez vs. Taira
Tatsuro Taira, SUB, R2
Taira's grappling is beautiful to watch and he deserves a ranked opponent after this.
Petrino vs. Prachnio
Vitor Petrino, DEC
Petrino can crack but also has wrestling in his back pocket.
Saaiman vs. Mitchell
Cameron Saaiman, TKO, R2
Saaiman gets an easy fight on short notice but his first real test should come soon.
Kirk vs. Ribovics
Kamuela Kirk, DEC
Kamuela has grappling upside and should find a decent amount of time on top.

I think this is the easiest prediction on the card. No disrespect to Woodburn but Nickal's is your ace in the hole.

I will give him props though, he’s built like a jackhammer. Probably puts liquid concrete in his protein shakes.

Props to Val for taking this fight on 4 days notice but Bo’s putting him to sleep.
