@jrreynolds Nash would be sick but idk if he can because he had to pull out of xmma4 due to an injury so he probably couldn’t fight here

My guess is it’s gonna be a debutant because most of the good unranked guys are either injured or booked and same goes for the top 15. If I had to guess I would say maybe abusupyan magomedov, Phil hawes, or Bruno silva. One of those guys outside the top 15 yknow. Or they just sign a top prospect not in the ufc

Nothing confirmed but Hernandez vs du plessis got called off as soon as kelvin announced a new opponent. Looks like that’s the new fight. Absolute banger

Yes I think that’s the direction the ufc is going. Hernandez said he wasn’t fighting du plessis right after gastelum said they found an opponent

Yeah he was gonna slaughter Fluffy. Although now we might be able to get him at plus money. But Gastelum is a crazy step up from Hernandez... I don't know if Dricus is ready for it.

I'll fade Gastelum in most fights where he's not facing someone as **** as Ian Heinisch. I reckon Dricus gets the submission after some adversity. Rate him pretty well

Gastelum just hasn't looked the same anymore. I would take Du Plessis at any plus odds. 
Also pissed, had him locked in too

I'm really high on Dricus. But I just wasn't mentally ready to match him up with the division's mainstays. What do we think?

I think du plessis by sub is possible. He likes to hurt guys and go for the guillotine once they drop

@erison I personally rate him pretty highly. He’s got a super well rounded skillset and hearing him breakdown how he ko’ed trevin giles showed me he’s got a pretty good fight iq. He’s also a freak athlete. It’s a big step down for gastelum and he usually beats this level but idk. Dricus will be ranked one day so not sure if he’s ready yet. Finally, Dricus is gonna be at a 5 inch reach advantage (as everyone who faces gastelum has) but I really like that he’s got all that reach because he can just chop the legs up and fight at a distance. I don’t see him koing gastelum but I could definitely see him drop kelvin and snatch the neck.
