There are no other fights on the card. Just fluff for the bumpkins.

Jéssica Andrade, DEC
Andrade's a lock here I think. She's the better striker, more dangerous in the pocket than Calvillo and her grappling might also be better too. Andrade is very good at bull rushing forward looking to land her big hooks to the body and head whilst also trying to slam them. I don't think Calvillo is gonna be able to out strike Andrade or out grapple her, I do think she can survive and take it to the distance though, she is very tough but I got Andrade winning comfortably here

Alexander Volkanovski, SUB, R5
Volkanovski IMO, might possibly win a 49-46, 50-45 very dominant fight. But my thoughts here is that once Ortega starts to kind of get tired in the 3rd, 4th, he'll start to put a lot of weight on his lead leg a bit, Volkanovski will leg kick tons, take him down, Ground and pound to loosen him up, like prior rounds, and then finally sink in an Arm Triangle submission a few minutes shy of the bell.
Shevchenko vs. Murphy
Valentina Shevchenko, TKO, R4
TKO Headkick to G+P once Lauren gets into the championship rounds, AKA Valentina's waters.
Lawler vs. Diaz II
Robbie Lawler, DEC
48-47x2,49-46 relatively comfortable for Robbie here, but Nick makes it interesting possibly even rocking Robbie at one point. Regardless the fans win here, and both fighters move on to something even better.
Blaydes vs. Rozenstruik
Curtis Blaydes, SUB, R1
Blaydes gets him down, Jairzinho gets mounted fast, turns onto his stomach to stand, gets Rear Naked Choked.
Andrade vs. Calvillo
Jéssica Andrade, DEC
Uni Dec, 30-27/29-28
Moraes vs. Dvalishvili
Merab Dvalishvili, DEC
30-26 domination, maybe a late submission.
Hooker vs. Haqparast
Nasrat Haqparast, DEC
SPLIT Judges scorecards all over the place. 29-28 seems reasonable although for Nasrat.
Abdurakhimov vs. Daukaus
Chris Daukaus, TKO, R1
lunging Right Hook. Shamil is being fed to the wolves here.
Modafferi vs. Santos
Taila Santos, DEC
29-28 SPLIT, Roxanne always makes it difficult.
Medic vs. Turner
Uros Medic, TKO, R1
Head Kick to G+P quick work. Medic is forreal.
Maximov vs. Brundage
Nick Maximov, SUB, R2
Arm triangle, gonna be much larger in the cage and use that size to his adv.
Semelsberger vs. Sano
Matt Semelsberger, DEC
29-28 Unanimous.
Morales vs. Pearce
Omar Morales, TKO, R1
Crazy knee to ground and pound stoppage.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik, TKO, R1
Going with the big underdog in this one, Rozenstruik is a scary striker, now, his TDD isn't very good but I do think his ability to control the octagon and time his shots is gonna help him here. Blaydes does not set his takedowns up very well at all and at times he's able to bulldoze his opponents down to the ground, that didn't work against Derrick and he got slept badly for it, I think Blaydes might be more tentative now because of this. I also think Blaydes' boxing is gonna be ineffective, his striking has improved but you can't play around on the feet with Bigi Boy, I think Rozenstruik can catch him, I really dp. Blaydes is a very logical pick but I can see Jair hurting Blaydes, maybe countering a takedown or off a counter left hook when Blaydes tries to box with him
