When I first saw the news I thought this is fake. Weird ass division. Love Erceg but that's soooo soon for a shot. Dvorak who god knows how he even entered the top 15 because he hasn't beaten anyone, short notice Costa and an out of prime Schnell with Rockholds chin. One of the quickest title shots oat. And where's Mokaev? He struggled vs. Perez but got the nod anyways, that would of been better but I suppose there's some reason he didn't take it cuz there's no way UFC made Erceg jump over him like that.

Mokaev currently going scorched earth on Twitter because he was robbed of a title shot lol

@diana yeah getting vibes of 293 for this card. IMO I like the card but it’s seriously lacking in name value; guess that’s what happens when the ufc books all the Brazilian stars for different cards

Erceg title shot !?....ok.. I am not mad about it. 

Little early for Erceg and I would have gone with Mokaev first If The reason Was just to avoid another remache for the title. But again, I am not mad about it. 

Pantoja got this.

Big Marcel tweeted that we should do away with the rankings. I respect the guy but that's a terrible take. This has nothing to do with the rankings and all to do with the terrible scheduling the ufc does. This shouldn't be a ppv it should just be a fight night
