Now this is a fight card!

I usually just do 3 big winners one fight to look out for but I'm feeling this card, so I'll do 5 big winners and 3 fights to look out for.

Mybig winners are do bronx, Munhoz, moraeno, de la rosa, and priscilla.

My fights to look out for are malley vs paiva.Tbis should be fight of the night and  also think paiva will shock the world. AlAnother fight to look out for is pena vs nunes. I think if anyone on the current roster beats nunes, it'll be pena. But that is so much easier said than done. My third fight to look out for dude plessis vs Munoz. Classic striker vs grappler and these two both show serious promise for the middleweight division.

Everyone is expecting Dustin to beat Charles. I was but the way everyone is overlooking someone in a fight that can go either way makes me think oliveira is going to win this

It's definitely possible for Oliveira to win this fight, but Poirier has just been nearly flawless when he wasn't fighting Khabib.

Finally Poirier/Oliveira is official! 

Poirier has only been in wars against the top of the lightweight division for almost 5 years. Other than against Khabib, he has always come out on top. Arguably he came the closest to defeating Khabib out of all of the opponents Khabib faced.

No one should overlook Oliveira, who is also on an impressive streak (albeit against lesser opponents), because he is also an elite opponent. However I lean towards Poirier winning because he is going to drag Oliveira into a war, if it be in the stand up or on the ground. There is a chance of a let down for Poirier after enduring chaotic build ups to his last two fights.

However I believe that Poirier is driven by winning the title and he will come 100% prepared mentally for his title challenge. This fight could be Poirier's crowing achievement in a fantastic career full of character defining moments.

I'm gonna say oliveira, 
Dustin looked good twice against conor who clearly wasn't working hard at all like years before
Charles got rocked and almost finished by Chandler who is very game and then came back and finished him 
I'm going by that logic 
No disrespect to Dustin but conor hardly put up much of a fight in the last 2 matches they had , Charles had the harder fights and proved himself

Dustin's patience is going to be the difference maker, imo. If he gets into wild exchanges Charles can put him away. Either way I don't see this going past the 3rd round. Can't wait

I hate to relive it but charles best path is how he beat tony fergs.
Love dustin but he aint as tough or good on ground he will get tapped.
If charles stands with dustin he has less than 10% chance to survive bet your house on that!
Pretty obvious both are miles ahead in one skill set good in other leaving big weakness to capitalize.
Also not calling him a cheat or dirty fighter but charles is prone to foul trouble and dustin often gets illegal struck.

Hall vs. Minner
Ryan Hall, SUB, R2
If Minner stands with him, he wins. Ryan has no striking. Going from his last outing. But minner also wanted to submit Darren Elkins so intelligence might not be his strong suit

There is a big chance of Dober vs. Gamrot happening on this one. Both guys mentioned lately, they would like to fight in December.
Facts are:
 Gamrot called out Dober on twitter couple weeks ago.
Gamrot has tweeted yesterday, that opponent and date was given by the ufc.

Wouldnt be that f-ing awesome?

Nunes should just be crowned as queen of the universe by combat

Du Plessis vs. Muniz
André Muniz, SUB, R1
Muniz is a machine on the ground, if he can get it there. Either way this'll be a short night at the office for these guys.

Nunes vs. Peña
Amanda Nunes, SUB, R2
Hope im wrong but Pena does not appear a viable challenger.

Munhoz vs. Cruz
Pedro Munhoz, TKO, R2
Think cruz get to experience a real ko this time.

Edwards vs. Masvidal
Leon Edwards, TKO, R3
No Mas he gasses like a guy named mcgruber,

O'Malley vs. Paiva
Raulian Paiva, TKO, R3
Sean is fake so was his last ko almost a cejudo ko.
