Anyone else finds it weird that all the fights cancelled from Covid is the fights without the big names on them, I think they’re gonna be at lest 2 of those fights cancelled already but the UFC is hiding the information

I see Sam Hughes has stepped up on short notice to fight Tecia Torres. That's probably about as good a fight as they could make at this point. Hughes is certainly tough.

It's interesting that
Joe Benevidaz 
Alex Perez
and Moreno have all beaten Formiga, where as Figgy lost to him in 2019. Now this is in no way pointing to some sort of MMA math but just odd I thought, nothing special. MMA is funny sometimes.

I think Brianna Van Burran is a better fighter and was a bigger prospect then Sam Hughes and Tecia won that fight clearly,

Holland vs. Souza
Ronaldo Souza, SUB, R2
i don't think jacare is as washed as people make him out to be. mind you he's definitely washed but i mean his last fight was a split decision to the light heavyweight champion. meanwhile kevin holland gets choked by brendan allen and has split decisions vs darren stewart. maybe i'm just wrong though and jacare is completely shot

Holland vs. Souza
Ronaldo Souza, SUB, R2
Think Holland is gonna put himself in a bad postion and get Sub because Holand ain't top 15 and Jacure faded a little bit but hes still top 15

Bettilng tip : Jacure at +100, Or Jacure sub +450

dos Santos vs. Gane
Ciryl Gane, TKO, R1
Was Really close to picking Junior just because the Line Value is crazy on him, But Ciryl Gane just had a year off at 6-0 so I think simular thing that happen to T-City Ortaga and Look like a new Gane.

Betting Tip : Avoid or Gane by decsion at +430 if you are a degenrate

Dern vs. Jandiroba
Virna Jandiroba, DEC
Mackenzee Dern landed 1 in 20 takedown in her UFC carrer, If Virna Doesn't go full ****** she will kept it on the feet. So who has the better standup it hard because I think Virna is better technicly, But Dern hits hard and that huge for the Women Division. Picking Jandaroba because Judge score volume over damage

Betting tip:  Jandaroba Dec +260

She should yes, but will she, I don't know. Torres often underwhelms me with her fights. But I'm certainly picking Torres by either decision or very later 3rd round stoppage. Likely decision though.

Galore Bofando will always hold a place as one of my favorite fighters off that slam KO alone. An iconic moment, truly incredible violence. My only complaint is that his nickname isn’t “Violence” Galore Bofando. Major missed opportunity there.

@bigbear I think Moreno will win if Figgy doesn’t just obliterate him because Figgy defence ain’t that great and he will be easily outpointed

Depends if it stays standing. Fig will smack the absolute living **** out of Moreno if it does. Moreno's best chances are  top control/sub.
