UFC haven't signed too many Japanese fighters recently, 10-0 at 22 could be one to watch.

Interesting to me that they rebooked this. Also, anybody else seeing Romanov -2300 as insane?? I get that it's Chase but given what happened with Dean Barry, you never know if he pokes him in the eye or busts his groin. Anything could happen.

Green should be the favorite here but he's been out for 14 months and had a heart attack less than 6 months ago which put him out for what sounded like month and a half or something in an interview where he talked about it.
He has had shoulder surgery hand surgery rib injuries and an MCL injury in his not too distant past.
He's also not the best at closing distance against a taller longer fighter and gets boxed up in the process, Lainesse has that advantage on him.
But with all that said I have to assume Lainesse PROBABLY isn't on his level. We know Green can push a fighter like D-Rod and beat a fighter like Rowe who went on to get multiple stoppage wins in the UFC since. I just get a low fight IQ and poor technique vibe from Lainesse.
If I had to guess I think neither guy will back down and fight will end in round 1.

I think Dawson next fight is a top 15 guy and will see if he is, what they say he is, If Dawson get his cardio in check, I think he beat top 15 guys, He really talented, and 145 is a strikers division so I think Dawson can do what Bryce Mitchell is doing, I personally don't think Dawsen is over rated, But he could be

I keep seeing the narrative that Chito loses the first round but turns up toward end and especially round 3, so he then in turn can win round 3, 4 and 5....and this the decision. And I think that is just such a wild assumption. It's because he knows that the last round and usually have been questionably losing minutes prior especially first round. I think if anything it's round 5 alone that Chito turns it up because he's most likely down, or maybe 2-2.
