Silva vs. Dvořák
Bruno Silva, DEC
Dvorak is very overhyped but he should beat Bulldog by decision

Macedo vs. Malecki
Veronica Macedo, DEC
Veronica will be way faster but she has to avoid this power (2 weights difference between them). Duda Santana lost the fight because of their silly mistake :(

Lee vs. Oliveira
Kevin Lee, TKO, R1
I’ve always liked Kevin Lee and his move to Tristar seems to have motivated him big time, that KO of an undefeated Gregor Gillespie was disgusting!! He looked so calm and collected after that KO. He has also fought much better fighters in his career. I see a lot of people saying about Oliveira is on a tear but against who? He’s on a tear against bums.. I agree I think this fight will be close however in my head I keep seeing Kevin Lee violently KO’ing Oliveira in similar fashion to Gillespie.

Walker vs. Krylov
Johnny Walker, TKO, R1
I can only pray Johnny Walker has re watched his fight with Corey Anderson and learnt from his mistakes. It’s a classic case of a guy getting too confident, he was annihilating people with ease and clearly thought he was going to do the same against Corey Anderson but he learnt when you step up in competition you can’t do that. This is a fight where I would love to see him land a disgusting flying knee inside 30 seconds but if not I’d quite like to see this go the distance, I want to see how Johnny Walker fairs over 15 minutes. Because if he wants to be the LHW champion one day he’s gonna have to go 25 minutes with the likes of Reyes and Jones, is he anywhere near ready for that yet? Not even close.

Silva vs. Dvořák
David Dvořák, SUB, R1
Just mark my words when I say David Dvorak is the ****. The man finishes people for fun. Granted these people haven’t been in the UFC but neither have Silva’s opponents. This is a battle of 2 people wanting to prove they’re worthy of the UFC and I see Dvorak taking that oppurtunity and wining by RNC in round 1.

Lee vs. Oliveira
Kevin Lee, TKO, R2
Kevin Lee is coming back to the top of LW division

Maia vs. Burns
Gilbert Burns, DEC
Awesome fight maybe best on this card both are great on the ground and one of the best grapplers in UFC and you can't just write off Maia because of his age he is still great again very close so Im picking Burnes but not gonna be surprised if Maia wins

Moicano vs. Hadžović
Renato Moicano, DEC
This is a big step up for Hadžović.Moicano is better fighter but I don't see Moicano finishing this fight

Walker vs. Krylov
Johnny Walker, TKO, R1
Maybe Walker is a hype but still better then Krylov

Formiga vs. Moreno
Jussier Formiga, DEC
I think this is 50-50 fight but Formiga will get the W

Zaleski vs. Kunchenko
Elizeu Zaleski, DEC
Good fight

Silva vs. Dvořák
David Dvořák, TKO, R1
 Close fight but i think Dvorak wins in his UFC debut.Also I think Dvorak can achive big things in UFC

Seems like the rumor going around, and again I've only seen it as a rumor so far, is that the event will go on but with no crowd in the arena.

Lee vs. Oliveira
Charles Oliveira, DEC
No way Kevin Lee wins this fight. Good to see Oliveira finally get a decent opponent. I feel like he's the dark horse of the division. I'm going with a decision for do Bronx but I won't be surprised if he finishes Lee early

the event better go on. the ufc has plenty of money and if they dont make no money on ticket sales then they needed to take that loss. them fighters been training for months and are like 70% through on their weight cut.

the fights can go on just not with a crowd, the only deterrent would be over money and that would be pretty ****** to the fans and the fighters!

Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani UFC Brasilia was originally supposed to start at 5 pm ET, it now starts at 3 pm ET. In addition to airing on ESPN+, it’ll also now air on ESPN & ESPN Deportes. It will take place, as Combate 1st reported, in an empty arena. No official statement from UFC on it/future events yet.

Love he move to ESPN! Good decision to do that to allow everyone who wants to watch something not about coronavirus to have another option.
