What do you not get that the magnitude of these matchups couldn't be put on 297-298 because the fight cards are already full at the top.
They can't just cancel ESPN events early in the year, they have to have a certain amount of Fight Nights per year, per their ESPN contract. Canceling the 1st one isn't a good start if something happens later in the year.
(+ canceling an event hurts everybody's bottom dollar.)

Magomed Ankalaev, DEC
ankalaev doesn't go for finishes. boring decision win for ankalaev
Nicolau vs. Kape II
Manel Kape, DEC
kape won the first fight imo he just needs to be more aggressive this time around
Simón vs. Bautista
Ricky Simón, DEC
wrestle**** decision for simon
Vieira vs. Chiasson
Ketlen Vieira, DEC
wmma. who cares?
Hawes vs. Ferreira
Brunno Ferreira, TKO, R1
hawes could win if he had a good chin. he'll probably look good early on and then get slept again
Miller vs. Benítez
Jim Miller, TKO, R3
jim miller still going strong at 40 years old. I wish tony could do that.
Arlovski vs. Cortes-Acosta
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, TKO, R2
andrei is the better fighter but his chin will lose him this fight
Santos vs. Dumont

Magomed Ankalaev, TKO, R2
I think the small cage will benefit ankalaev. Also walker has a sus chin
Nicolau vs. Kape II
Manel Kape, TKO, R1
Can't trust Nicolas chin. I thought kape won the 1st time they fought and kape will try to prove a point in this fight because of he wins impressively he could end up fighting for a title
Simón vs. Bautista
Ricky Simón, DEC
Bautista has had one of the easiest schedules in the ufc. His toughest opponent on his win streak is blackshear who already fought the week prior and blackshear arguably won that fight against bautista. I think it'll be close but Simon is better
Hawes vs. Ferreira
Brunno Ferreira, TKO, R1
Hawes has a glass chin and Bruno has power. 1+1=2
Miller vs. Benítez
Jim Miller, SUB, R2
I dig the matchup. 91% picking Miller yet he's an underdog on betting sites. Both guys have only been beating bums so I'm leaning miller who's more well rounded & hasn't taken as much damage recently as benitez
Arlovski vs. Cortes-Acosta
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, TKO, R1
Hopefully this is arlovskis last fight even if he wins. I think Waldo blasts a hole through his head
Santos vs. Dumont
Norma Dumont, DEC
Dumont is less **** than yana
McGhee vs. Bolaños
Marcus McGhee, SUB, R2
I might be too high on mcghee since he's only fought bums so far but gaston is also a bum
Parsons vs. Hafez
Bassil Hafez, DEC
No way this doesn't go too a split decision. I just see it being a grueling grappling match with each guy fighting for control the whole time
Bunes vs. Bondar
Felipe Bunes, DEC
I don't know much about bunes but I'm just fading bondar
Basharat vs. Lapilus
Farid Basharat, DEC
Close fight but I'll say basharat does more damage and gets more control time
Nolan vs. Motta
Tom Nolan, TKO, R1
Motta is a bum
Wilson vs. Silva
Jean Silva, TKO, R1
Weston Wilson is a bum
