Glover is hot right now too winning his last 5, finishing 4 of them. I think it's obvious that Blachowicz is the favored fighter but I don't think -260 is a very accurate reflection on how competitive this fight should be.

Jéssica Andrade, TKO, R1
this feels mean. hopefully Calvillo can hold her own and surpass expectations
Moraes vs. Dvalishvili
Merab Dvalishvili, TKO, R3
I want Moraes to bounce back but goddamn they are just feeding him monsters holy ****
Blaydes vs. Rozenstruik
Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R3
I don't think Blaydes is done but we'll see in this fight what that Lewis KO did to him. He's been a consistent fighter thus far so I think he can edge out a win with the overwhelming wrestling advantage and ground game, but one shot can end his whole night. Dude is young for HW but he's taken quite a bit of damage, wouldn't be surprised if he is "compromised"

Fiorot vs. Bueno Silva
Manon Fiorot, TKO, R2

Robbie Lawler, TKO, R3
Literally the best case scenario match-up wise for these guys in the stage of their careers. I think Nick has been out for too long and it's going to show. He still does his triathalons and helps people in their fight camps, but Lawler has fought beasts all that time. Time in the octagon cannot be undervalued, I think Robbie takes this one.
