I really like rozenstruik vs sakai card, just not the main event. feels more like it belongs as a co-main

@NgannouPunch, oh man you weren't joking!  The Sakai vs Rozenstruik card is major money!  A lot of good matchups on that one.

I'm having trouble deciding Oliveira vs Chandler, I was leaning with Oliveira but with decision which is crazy for a FINISHER theme but i don't think he will sub Chandler based on Chandler never getting subbed yet in his career. So i think it would go to decision if Chandler doesn't get the ko but man if i pick Oliveira this will be the 3rd time i picked against Chandler and lost money lol I doubted him vs Henderson and i definitely doubted him vs Hooker so will the 3rd time be my charm? Probably not so might go with Chandler.... Also asked myself could Chandler beat the 8 people Oliveira beat for his long streak and i feel like he could. But on the other hand Oliveira is probably the best wrestler Chandler will fight up to this point, So **** back to square one...

@Mattlex

My pick is Charles Oliveira by 4th round submission.  It wouldn't surprise me if KO/TKOs Chandler either.

I think Charles Oliveira has much better technique than Michael Chandler.

He was killing himself making 145. Most of 8 losses have come there but since moving up to Lightweight He has been a beast. Similar to Chiesa.

Kaitlyn is not the most boring fighter in the world. This award goes to Holm with Gadhela being the runner up. Those two are complete sleepers.

Oliveira dodged Chandler once already....

Predictions: 4 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 240 Points   |   Tied for 3474th

A lot of people on this forum are forgetting the fact that Oliveira was suppose to be Chandlers 1st fight in the UFC, other people in the top 10 said no to fighting Chandler too...but Hooker stepped up.

Regardless of who I think is going to win between the two, this is the fight Chandler wanted from the get go. Why Oliveira dodged him: ( insert excuse here ) my guess was he wasn't going to make weight after fighting Tony.

Being a highly sought out free agent too, I don't think Dana wanted to see Chandler not be competitive in his first fight. I mean **** he flew Chandler out to Fight Island and basically scouted out together who they thought he should fight 1st.

Dodging implies that Oliveria was scared...


He wasnt scared he's just like all the other guys in the division that didnt respect a guy coming from Bellator immediately facing the top of the division.
