I could skip the fight of course but I never skip a fight, that would be cheating.

Dalcha - he tried to stand & trade with him. Got rocked very badly & almost ko’ed multiple times. Won off of a Hail Mary guillotine
Michal - for someone who can allegedly grapple, it was really really concerning watching him get swept against someone as bad on the ground as michal
Viera - winning every second of this fight, decides to guillotine a bjj legend after avoiding the ground the whole fight
Also should be noted, this is his third short notice fight in a row

In my opinion, hes made one really glaring mistake so far and it was in his last fight against Vieira. I can excuse that one because he was doing surprisingly well and just got too excited.
Dumas on the other hand made Fremd, who to be fair is a decent fighter IMO, look like an absolute beast. Hes not UFC level IMO. Brundage doesn't have a lot of fights but hes fought really good competition so far. I think between that, his grappling skills and a pretty obvious strength/power advantage, he should cruise here.
Other than Brundage coming off a very recent loss I see this being a smash spot for him to even out his UFC record at 3-3. If he got knocked cold in his last fight I'd be a bit more cautious but thats not the case here.

Watch Taira's fight against Kiyotaka Shimizu. He was getting pushed around on the feet by a 5"2 journeyman closing in on 40. What do you think a young explosive athlete like Kleydson is going to do?
Its not too late to get your money away from Taira. Theres a reason that ML has been plummeting the last few days.

I think the matchmakers see guys like Taira as a challenge. The obvious trend with all of the fights hes getting are guys with similar levels of experience who have all had recent win streaks. If he wins this weekend I will be absolutely blown away if his next opponent isn't Steve Erceg. That's the next logical step up after this IMO.

This card order is setup to give Taira a showcase spot so that Japanese audiences can watch.
How exactly do the guys picking Rodriguez think he is going to win? Taira slipping on a banana peel?
The dumbasses on here seem to think the UFC is giving him a test.
🤦
What they are giving him is a showcase.
