Making this pick early, can't wait for Aldana to bring home the belt. Been a big fan of her since the fight against Pudilova and it's amazing how far she's come

Oliveira vs. Dariush

Dariush is better everywhere, give him some ******* respect after this

I think it stupid to not put Chris Curtis vs Nassidine Imamov on the main card, And instead put it deep on the prelims, It the 3rd best fight on this card behind Oliveria vs Darush and Ige vs Landwheir, This isn't the most stacked PPV, So they should try and put some banger on the main card

I think the disrespect for Benny is more from people calling him boring, Then his skills, I don't get it tho, Benny is a really entertaining fighter, Beside the Ferguson fight, I really enjoy every Benny fight, He has some cool finishs in his career also,  I swear people only watch the Ferguson fight and talk **** because otherwise it don't make sence

I hope I get good odds on Benny by finish because most people who are picking Benny, are picking Benny by decision for some reason, For one Charles fights alway end in finish win or lose, And two,  Benny can be a finisher

Can someone enlighten me why Imavov v Curtis is the second fight of the night?

Tapology doesn’t have the fully updated order yet; however, ufc decided to bury that fight as the first prelim when it should probably be main card. This card honestly isn’t that bad but the bout order is among the worst ever

On first glance the line being almost a pickem between Imavov and Curtis seems off to me. We've already seen Curtis struggle with someone that can fight on the outside in Hermansson who pretty much humiliated him. He was losing the fight v Buckley before he found the KO, he was again outstruck by Gastelum whom he had 4 inches reach advantage on. He's 35 years old fighting a 27 year old after only 2 months since his last outing. And you know he hasn't gotten any breaks from that hard fight, probably got knocked out a couple of times by Sean Strickland in camp.

This is more a Imavov -200 spot to me. -125 seems like a good deal. I think the odds are overly affected by Imavov losing to Curtis teammate but he gave up 10 pounds there (195 vs 205 on scales) and fought 5 rounds in which he lacks experience, this is a 3 rounder and he can go much harder and maintain cardio presumably. I'm still capping it though.
