In my opinion the fact that Arce missed the weight by such a low margin (0.5 pounds) was largely the fault of his team, if they knew that the cut was going strong and they were not reaching the weight margin they had to consider the towel option.
Q- Why do I think they did not contemplate the option?
A- Simple, if Arce had had his head shaved minutes before the weigh in, he would have given 136 pounds without problems on the scale.
A fundamental task of the team is to know what weight your fighter carries long before he climbs the scale.
Julio Arce has a great Fight IQ and I believe that this matchup would allow him to take advantage of all the variants of his fight game (striking and grappling), but the weight cut he made was very strong and could affect his reflexes and absorption of punches.

After face offs my confidence level in Dern fell a little bit. Not that I had it far from a pickem but I was leaning Dern. I have a bet on her so I'll keep my pick, I usually pick a fighter on Tapology that I have a bet on even if I consider them a dog if I rate them 40% or higher. I'd probably line this one at 50/50 now.

Sterling 2u
Dern 1u
Madsen 1u
Hansen 1u
Gall .5u
Zombie .5u
Burns .5u

Tybura is most likely sick, People just want to talk ****, But people can be sick sometime, he just want to perform at his best, Because UFC ain't no game. Tybura ain't a *****, He's the opposite of that, He fight the toughest men in the octagon and had 15 fights in the promotion, Dude fought Lewis, Werdum and Volkov, He ain't scared of no one 

I swear people forget that any UFC fighter/reginal fighter is more ballzy then most people, Espaccly some of these arm chair warriors, Stepping into a cage and fighting another man is scary, It funny how people call them *****

If you generally believe Marcin Tybura pulled out because he scared of Rozenstuck you are dumb, He just got sick, It just happen sometime, Some people really needs to shut the **** up about fighters being *****'s unironically, They fight some of the toughest people around, Just to step in the cage is one of most ballzy thing to too, Because me personally, I'll be **** scared to fight another human being in a cage  and I wouldn't do it, And 99% of people will be the same

Also, Tybura vs Rozenstuck will be move back a week or two, They're no problem

I also think fremd gets a KO Rd 1. Think he goes out very aggressive because it's his debut and he has something to prove and sleeps Hernandez.

Daniel Santos hasn't fought in 2 and a half years (pre covid) and Arce had a ****ter cut.  If ever you were looking to pass on a fight to bet... Even though Arce missed weight like he did, his opponent hasn't fought in this decade. Lol

Nice to see mickey gall is training with jason strout. He's always trying to get better. I really don't see how malott is going to pull this off. Gall has been competing at a higher level and i think he's been training at a higher level also.
