Jesus Christ, Jai Herbert has a massive size and reach advantage... and no one seems to think it matters lol.  Topuria is a monster but this will be a challenge.

This could be bad as it’s a lot of ppl who r from Ukraine and Russia so could see many of the fights crumble and I wanted to see mokaev and jake Hadley both make their debuts it could be none at this point

Looks like main event is in mega jeopardy now too because the ufc wanted volkov and his team to come to England early but they refused

Banning them is stupid tho. Unless they directly support the war it’s not their fault that the situation is the way it is.

AyyLmaonnaise Cancel culture sucks.  Politricks suck.  They just get worse.  I knew as a kid it was headed this way in the 90's.  After the Rodney King situation in Los Angeles and then the OJ Simpson trial, news medias went from reporting news to being opinion based organizations.  Then the internet came.  Then social media... And a bunch of stuff in between.  Now, here we are.  If enough people squeal in group think masses, they often have the unchecked power to dictate what happens where they should have no say (i.e. a non political Russian fighter participating in a sport within a private organization).  It is going on everyday.  Good or bad as that may be, I agree with you.  This sucks for Volkov.  I wanted to see Aspinall smash on him!

Well hopefully the ufc is figuring something out because they’re either going to need to move it, or find about 5 or 6 replacement fighters. I know jailton almeida offered to replace Nikita should he not fight

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 6 Perfect, 715 Points   |   149th Place

Volkov vs. Aspinall
Tom Aspinall, TKO, R1
A lot of this will come down to the first minute of the fight. If Aspinall can pile the pressure and put Volkov on his heels early, I could see him landing the perfect counter to a leg-kick and finishing him off. If he's more content with playing it slow and waiting for the right opportunity, I could equally see Volkov piecing him up with low kicks to a decision.

Allen vs. Hooker
Arnold Allen, DEC
Hooker is a betting favorite, so there's value on Allen. But besides that, I see this is a good breakthrough fight for Arnold. I feel he'll be stronger in grappling exchanges, and for the while his cardio holds up, I believe he'll be able to score better shots on the feet too

Shore vs. Valiev
Jack Shore, DEC
Valiev is a sizable 2-to-1 favorite but I'm not quite Shore why. Jack wins by backing him up and stifling him

Valiev's wrestling will probably be too much for him. Timur's biggest flaw is that his chin can let him down, outside of that he's a pretty well put together fighter who has a tough style to beat for most prospects.

Maybe Jack has improved a whole lot since his fight with Azure, but Timur seems like a pretty safe pick here. For as good as Jack may be, this is just one of those matchups where he can get nullified everywhere.
