Upset aint happening. Just made my final 2 picks. Wasnt someone saying Phillipou is a pro boxer? Is that fight on the main card? I think Mendes/Yahya or Hammill/Gustaffson should be bumped up?

To answer the original question, I think the card as a whole can succeed.  There are some very interesting match ups on this card.. maybe not top guys, but awesome match ups.  I'm with @Wolf again.. I'm taking the upset too!

Dont even think Mendes will go for a takedown he will just keep it on the feet and outstrike him.

I think despite it being bit by the injury bug like all UFC's recent events, its still a fairly interesting card. I wont be paying for it but it holds up in the month with few UFC events going on.

Mendes will wrestle his way to a win, though he has improved a lot with his striking and footwork.
