I don't think Umar vs Said would happen lol, rest bangers though i think Damir and D-rod deserve ranked matchups after the level of guys they beat 
I'd make it Guram vs Joel and Ismagulov vs Gillespie instead, Damir coming off a win of Guram after all

Oliveira vs. Makhachev
Islam Makhachev, DEC
I feel like Charles has more paths to victory here than the Dagestan, however; elite wrestlers typically fare very well in MMA. This is a real test for the Dagestani. I would place odds at +155 do bronx-170 Islam.

Jeeeze, #13 Sean O'Malley faces #1 Petr Yan. That's almost as big of a rankings jump as Khamzat vs. Burns.

That's insane, part of me wonders why Petr Yan would fight O'Malley but this is just speculation, everyone wants to take Sean's head off. Sean is not highly ranked, has no notable victories. Petr knows this obviously but taking Sean's hype and scalp is what I think he wants. 

O'Malley, I've stopped doubting him. Why? He's here, he's fighting, I'm not a fighter, business is part of the game and I think now O'Malley was getting himself ready for these types of fights instead of jumping right into the fire.

This like @Tioken said is a huge jump up in competition, and honestly the first O'Malley fight I've been looking forward to. He's already very well off, now he's taking those leaps. This is what we wanted, I'm not gonna pretend I haven't talked **** about O'Malley, but finally I'm looking forward to a fight he's in.

Lemos vs Marina Rodriguez is actually a good fight but nobody cares because it looks like a random nobody's women MMA fight compared to the rest of this amazing card so far

Also this is a much bigger jump than Khamzat vs Burns. This would be like Geoff Neal fighting Colby Covington

That seems like a real mismatch, but I understand cause arguably Rodriguez she should be fighting Carla in the winter for the belt. Guess she'll have to take out her frustration on Lemos and then go after Weili.

If Marina wins, she gets the title shot after Zhang. Hopefully

this card is stacked! 

Dariush generally win by decision when you dont KO him. I dont think Gamrot hit hard enought to finish him.

Omalley is going to cry again!

Lemos vs Marina is a sick fight, can't say I expected it but I'm not complaining, I thought Marina would be eyeing something to get her closer to the title but I'm guessing she knows she needs just a bit more of a statement before challenging for it. Also probably knows Zhang is next and that fight hasn't been announced, if she did decide to wait for the winner zhang vs carla, that would atleast be a year of inactivity. Also helps that both Marina and Lemos are new faces to the title.
