I bet an Oliveria vs Daruish main event will do more PPV buys then a Nunes vs Pena 3 even tho I don't think this card will sell much either way, I think they're not many fighter more loved then Charles Olvieria by fans

@knife it’s verbally agreed to. I’m sure it will become official closer to the event; much like alves vs aliev was. Something tells me one side is waiting to see if they can get cleared from an injury before signing the contract. That’s usually what the hold up is in these scenarios

@Ayy dang hopefully both fighters are injury free for that one. If Makdessi is injured it’s gonna be an even tougher night than it already is for him

Beniel accepted the Tsarukyan fight but UFC didn't want to go that way, rather rebook Oliveria vs Dariush.

Chris Curtis vs imavov on this card. Not sure who I'm gonna pick. I could see a draw with Curtis getting a 10-8 round 3 after losing the first 2 rounds

What was the reason Curtis couldn't reach Hermansson? His height, right? I think we'll see pretty same result here too.

Imavov did really well against Strickland given the late opponent change. I think he probably beats Curtis.

If Benny/do Bronx can't get re-booked I think my pick for a co-main on this card is Strickland vs. Costa.

Strickland making fun of Paulo for being fat and missing weight would be must see content.
