Ya kepharticus, just reread Ledet v. Rakic fight, lost every round 10-8 and was really beaten to core, best thing to be said is he didnt get ktfo, but no doubt it led to Walker outcome. Ledet is prolly toast. I'm picturing him now fighting great in the first round against a fighter nowhere near as dynamic, experienced, and powerful as what he has seen recently. I actually might have given him a chance if this fight was prior to Rakic, but it's not, so round 2 begins and Camur knocks him out.

Maybe fade Camur next fight. These young powerful DWCS dudes have been cracking people last few events.Of course, UFC wants Camur. If Ledet gets knocked out he will be out of promotion after loss. Seems likely the more I think about it.

Holm vs. Pennington II
Raquel Pennington, DEC
Pennington must win if hey is not given a SPLIT. In the 1st battle, she had already sent Hill to the ground from the blow, a few seconds to knock out. If you compare the battle of Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes, then I don’t even know how to compare this battle. Since Holly Hill fell in the first round, Pennington has dealt damage for 5 rounds. In the end, 38-year-old Holly Holm, maybe it's time to start a household?

Ledet vs Camur

Good to see Ledet back in action, looking forward to it. Ledet has to much height and reach

for Camur. Ledet has fought two killers his last couple of fights. Camur will not give him that

much trouble. Picking Ledet, and it will not be competitive.

It might not be a blockbuster PPV card. I don't think its weak though. There are a lot of fighters on that card I like.

Lewpdeylew.  Since you asked! I favour Yusuff to beat Fili, I doubt he'll KO him though like most seem to be picking. Fili has looked like he's putting it together in his last few fights, he had a nice jab all of a sudden vs Jury and he KTFO'd Sheymon Moraes in about a minute last time out!  Moraes went to a close decision with Yusuff, I know I know! MMA Math!
I think this is by far Yusuff toughest fight but I do think he's got enough to outstrike Fili over 3 rounds.  Fili could pull out wrestling but it'snot  really a strength of his and Yusuff has solid TDD.
I got Yusuff by DEC.

@rombu no doubt, you are most likely right about Ledet and his residual value.

Askarov faced a super hard test to enter the UFC. Moreno is a fantastic, multi dimensional fighter. Elliot seems  to be there for the taking, he has been submitted 4 times and 2 out of last 3. Been fighting as pro for a decade, takes 2 years off and then gets thrown to Delveson, now 90 days later faces a great grappler needing to show out. Askarov is no De La Rosa.

It's interesting that Elliot has been a larger fave in 3 out of his last 4 fights and was only +150 to Delveson???  He seems to have some support against Askarov in the betting world but less so with the tapology community.  I couldn't bet him unless I'm educated by someone.

Interesting, Ledet was -105 to Rakic. 

  Pennington was +450 first Holm fight.

I'm having a hard time with this one. Time off for Conor could be good could be bad. If he bulked up that could be good, also could be bad. Been a while since I've seen Conor fight, and he didn't look that great. However nobody looks great against Khabib. 


Cowboy is coming off back to back losses. He has a lot of miles on him 33 fights in the UFC alone that's nuts. However I do feel like he can outsmart Conor and drag him into deep waters. And possibly get the submission late in the fight. I would be more confident about that scenario 2 or 3 years ago. 


Tough one for me to pick

I know Dana said if Conor wins he gets a title shot against Khabib. But I think he should fight Gaethje at 155 before he gets a title shot. Especially if he hasn't fought at lightweight in over a year!
