Prediction: correct Means   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

Homasi, who fought last weekend, steps in on short notice to take on Tim Means at UFC 202. At least he's in fight shape.

Prediction: correct Means   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

So how is it that Homasi can step in on short notice and fight Means but Ben Saunders, whose contract had "lapsed" can't because of the USADA 4 month thing? Are you telling me that the 11-5 Sabah Homasi has been on the UFC's radar for 4 months and been participating in the USADA pool?

Homasi is USADA exempt as a previously uncontracted short notice replacement

Saunders was previously in the testing pool and dropped out for a while, and under USADA he now needs 4 months of testing to be approved

Pure bureaucracy.  But USADA has to draw their arbitrary lines somewhere

Yeah we definitely won't see anyone be exempt again after the Brock Lesnar fiasco. This Ben Saunders situation has me bummed out, really hope he gets resigned if he beats Volkmann.

Glad they found Tim Means a replacement, I love watching The Dirty Bird! I think he'll catch Homasi and knock him out.

Homasi deserve a spot in the UFC, but that's not a good fight to start!

@Hyrm  Eh it could be worse.  It's not a monumental mismatch like Nurmagomedov vs Horcher was.

Or what Ferguson/Vannata was on paper. Still, Means is not a good debut fight for anyone, especially given how he's fought lately.

Tim Means is a violent man. Homasi was on the worst season of TUF and has been knocked out before. These points don't look good against Means who should dispose of Homasi rather quickly and violently.

Means should be too technical to get caught in a brawl with a short notice homasi.
