You rise to the occasion to be a champion not just beat people who are below you.
Basically the same story as Kenny Florian he won lots of fights lost the ones that could have made him champ.
Also having the physical advantages is way more important than what some idiot who runs a book says.

Błachowicz vs Adesanya
This fight can go 2 ways Adesanya is going to pick Jan apart like he did to Costa or 2 Jan is going to grapple and then Submit or finish Izzy with ground n pound. I personally think Jan is going to finish Adesanya in the third round.
Jan Błachowicz via TKO R3
Santos vs Rakić
I got Aleksandar via Decision, Rakic is much more athletic and fresh. I think Santos had his time Rakic wants it more.
Aleksandar Rakic via Decision
Makhachev vs Dober
I see this fight playing out as that time Islam got knocked out. Drew Dober has much better striking than Islam but then again Islam can take Drew down. But i think Drew will be prepared for that so I got
Drew Dober via TKO R2

I mean, you've got Russian superstar, current most hyped Polish fighter, as a Pole I can say it is easily the most important and the biggest fight for Polish MMA. You've also got 2 other belt fights, Santos vs. Rakic those two guys are dangerous as hell.. What I'm tryna say is they should promote this event as much as they can.

So what if they aren't all great fights, I like to think of it as culling. Give the athlete their shot, if they are entertaining let them fight out their contracts. If they are GOOD bump them up. If they suck, at least the person who beat them probably put on a good show and you can build prospects up by letting them beat 'em for the remainder of their contract. If BOTH fighters suck and it's boring, then cut them.

Betting is a plus. I just yearn for the old days when there were a bunch of stars in the same era. Couture, Liddell, Ortiz, Franklin, Anderson Silva, Hendo, etc
