I’m actually very conflicted about hardy vs oleinik as both guys have very easy paths to victory. If it stays in the feet, hardy has all the advantage in the world; weather you like him or not, you can’t deny he is very athletic. He hits hard and is going to be much faster than oleinik. Oleiniks striking is quite bad; it consists of him throwing looping punches. His chin isn’t glass, but it’s not what it used to be so I could see him getting popped quite easily. Hardy also does have an 80% tdd and also cuts down to heavyweight where oleinik weighs 228 pounds. If it does go to the mat, then oleinik will swarm hardy and sub him easily. I think the ufc is setting up an easy win for hardy

Tony Gravely should win, SHOULD *KEY WORD* WIN

Tony Gravely should win this bout. His better everything: cardio, striking, wrestling/grappling. Only worry and I'm sure everyone who has watched tape knows that Saimon Oliveira best path is a submission victory. He has 11 submission victories where it seems his favourite is guillotine choke. Again we know Tony Gravely seems to love to get submitted for some reason, probably a kink of his. I have Tony Gravely via R3 finish or Dec but I wouldn't be surprised if Tony Gravely gets subbed in the first or after dominating for the first two rounds, he gets submitted in the third.

Tony gravely is no joke; especially for a debutant. He should have won his last fight but got flash ko’ed; **** happens but if he won he would probably be fighting up the ladder and not a dwcs debutant. Siamon looks good but Tony is a tough ask for anyone. He’s super aggressive and has good wrestling and powerful hands. Look at who he loses to as well. Everyone who’s beat him are pretty damn good

I agree man. I think that this is a great spot for him. It's just worrying because apart from Tony Gravely's last loss (which was a TKO loss to Nate Maness) he has been submitted five times. I know they are the best but still worrying. He gave up his back multi-times against Anthony Birchak and Ray Rodriguez who ain't on the Jiu Jitsu level as Saimon Oliveira. You give your back to Oliveira, Gravely getting submitted. I just checked the line his a -210 Fav which is kinda worrying but he should roll here.

If Gane wins, does Stipe get an immediate shot?

I asked myself the same question this weak. 

I think if Daukaus win, he get a title shot.
If Gane-Lewis win, Miocic get an undeserved title shot
If Ngannou-Lewis win, Lewis get the title shot.

I feel like daukaus would need to fight blaydes with a win. I think he’s far too green for a title shot and would probably get Darren till’d should he get a shot

Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz verbally agreed to fight at UFC 270. Nothings official yet. Just a few days ago, Poirier was considering retiring and now he could potentially be fighting Nate Diaz about a month after losing at UFC 269. This would be a pretty big rebound if he wins, but at the same time, he is taking a big risk.

I take back that it's a BIG risk, but Poirier is still putting his #2 spot on the line against an unranked opponent (Depending on the weight class) after losing a title fight a month before. He should still win this one easily, but Diaz is still somewhat dangerous when he actually tries.
