Step down for Gaethje, so hopefully he looks impressive here.

Gaethje is the best LW not signed to the UFC right now. He beat Guillard in exciting fashion last time and now faces another game opponent in Palomino. Gaethje should win but Palomino is an aggressive fighter so it should be a fun fight.

I don't think much has changed since the first Silva-Hamill fight.

Teddy Holder is an aggressive fighter and Heun is a quality opponent out of American Top Team. I'm looking forward to this fight the most.

Valiev is a prospect out of Camp Jackson. This fight is very much designed to showcase him.

Don't know much about the prelims outside of Starks.

Aaaaah, I just found out that I'll have to miss Gaethje's fight. Damn. Best lightweight outside the UFC by far since Eddie Alvarez came over, and his style is pretty entertaining.

Fights are starting

I don't really agree @gregory   Palomino is arguably more dangerous than Guillard cause he hits as hard and won't mentally fall apart like Melvin.With Justin's super reckless style everytime he fights a guy like Palomino it's a scary fight...unless of course he starts fighting smarter.

Hearing Matt Hamill is off the card due to illness.

Yep. 

As Mike said, Thiago Silva now meets Teddy Holder in the co-main, while Clifford Starks is moved up from the prelims to take on Jake Heun on the main card. Arizmendi is the odd man out.

This just in: Hamill reportedly came down with a rare case of "being scared, homie."

Holder will receive 3x his original pay for stepping up. So roughly $60.
