Aldana will shock a lot of ppl. She'll make Nunes look terrible in the later rounds and destroy her

It's Amanda's fault she pulled out.
Imagine saying the UFC forced someone to face you or be stripped of a belt, then you pull out the fight.
Imagine saying someone is refusing to fight you, then you pull out.

Amanda Nunes, DEC
Question how much Nunes still wants to do this and do the hard training but it’s hard to back Aldana after that horrible Holly Holm showing.

Instead of just being thrown back in there, cause truly I can't imagine most people want to watch that fight again; at least right away.

Amanda Nunes, SUB, R3
Uau! Acredito que a luta ficou muito mais competitiva com a entrada da mexicana. A Irene é muito boa em pé e dará bastante trabalho para a campeã. Diante disso, acredito que a Amanda colocará para baixo e vencerá por finalização no terceiro round.

"The matchup between Ige and Landwehr was listed as a lightweight bout on the graphic, but multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed that was a mistake to MMA Fighting."

I definitely noticed that and was wondering myself if the fight was at lightweight or not. So Ige vs. Landwehr is confirmed at 145.

Main card
Predictions: 4 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 240 Points | Tied for 3335th
Jasudavicius is probably the best female Canadian on the roster besides Gillian Robertson and she's getting a ranked opponent. Mallot might be the closest thing to a ranked Canadian male fighter besides the Powerbar, so I totally get showing both of them some love. Ige and Landwehr is a ranked feathwerweight bout that no true fan of MMA would question or complain about.
When you take a step back, it's really not a bad card at all. Sure, you could put Dakaus vs Roundtree and Curtis vs. Imavov on the main card instead of the Mallot and Powerbar fights, but having them as probably the second to last and featured prelim instead helps really round out the undercard. I was very critical of this card as it was coming together but I think it's really rounded into a solid card. The change in main event is also huge. Aldana vs. Nunes is just way more interesting than a Pena trilogy.
