Interested why everybody is on Englund here, would love to hear some opinions on why.
As far as Xie goes he is so one dimensional, ONE FC has good fighters but usually in the stand-up is where their killers are. Xie looked to be very scared to stand up with people almost every fight dude is shooting bad takedowns for the legs getting them due to ONE FC fighters being horrible on the ground. So I expect Murad to last more than 5 mins and winning the battle of nutrition here. Have Murad by DEC but would not be surprised if he gets a very late finish!

As far as Englund goes, I'd say it's because he seems more reliable. Tougher slate of opponents (the best guy Manuel beat is on a 4-fight losing streak or something) and Torres' bread & butter is also his achilles heel going off his record. Kolton also has a BJJ black belt and beat cancer. Could definitely lose if his chin gets touched, but other than that, he might even maul the guy.

Gadzhi is the best prospect in this card. Undefeated at 12-0 Omargadzhiev looks to be the most impressive fighter on this episode. He’s a well-rounded fighter with impressive striking power and the typical submission wrestling we’ve become accustomed to from Russian fighters
Basharat - 250
Javid Basharat was supposed to fight earlier this season, but visa issues halted that. I didn’t think we’d end up seeing him, but here he is matched up with Oron Kahlon, a 16-fight veteran. Basharat is definitely the dark horse to watch here. That’s got to count for something. Kahlon will be no pushover, so this will be a good indicator of where Basharat’s skill level is.

Everyone on this card is in their 20s except Kahlon.
Also hope you're not making your pick based on your political opinions about Israel Eggling.
Also I dislike what Kahlon said but if he wins impressively UFC better sign him, they're out here letting Colby say whatever he wants so...

As for the fight, ehhhh I dunno who wins. Kind of hope the Afghan guy does because Kahlon didn't make weight, and even if he does win he's too long in the tooth to really go anywhere in UFC.

+ Torres's loses have come by guys with great experience who have been in there with UFC fighters.
