Yan vs. O'Malley
Petr Yan, DEC
I'm a big fan of O'Malley (his fighting style, not his clowneries) but this is way too soon. He didn't even won the only round he competed against Munhoz (and lost to Vera), so another top 15 matchup would have been more appropriate.

Chookagian vs. Fiorot
Manon Fiorot, DEC
Aaaah this would have been crazy in Paris !

Oezdemir vs. Krylov
Volkan Oezdemir, DEC
Volkan's kickboxing was a bit shy against Craig (though he still beat him up), as he was perhaps worried about the takedowns, but this should not be a big factor in there. His reputation as a KO artist in largely based on 2 weird KO's against no chins fighters (Cirkunov and Manuwa), so this will probably be a good close back and forth stand up war like he had vs Reyes or Rakic.

Belal was able to beat a striker with no grappling and a grappler with no striking. In Brady he has no advantages. 

And sorry,  but Damien is not the best grappler,  that's hands down Brady and Burns at 170

Sean is a far superior grappler than Belal, it's not going to be close. Belal has no advantages in the fight. Thompson has no grappling or wrestling, Maia has no striking.  Luque can't wrestle. 

Belal can't use IQ vs Brady when he has no advantages.  Belal is the worst striker in the top 10 and Sean is the best grappler in all of WW

I picked Sean but am thinking of switch to Bels purely out of spite what the ****!?$
It is close and Bels is far more well rounded and experience, neither have shown great striking,
Really this is a test for Sean and a slap for Bels who should have been close to a challenger spot.
Whoever wins this should fight Kazm..at 178 189 or wherever that scum weighs in at.

Hamdy is out, he’s being replaced by another Olympic wrestler in slim trabelsi. Really solid wrestling prospect. Great pickup

I'm worried that Oliveira is going to be stuck under Makhachev not being able to do much going for submession he most likely won't get because Makhachev is a beast grappler too, I don't care if Oliveira jiu-jitsu is the best in the UFC at the moment, Being stuck under Makhachev is not a good idea, I think that the only way Islam wins, But I think it's pretty likely, I'm 50/50 on this matchup so far,  I'm hoping Oliveria uses his jiu-jitsu to get up or reverse postion, Or not get taken down in the first place

I think Oliveria path to victory is TKO, I'm just not a fan of submission off the bottom, They just don't work unless they're a big skill diffrence in submession, I just don't think they is despite Oliveria being the best submession UFC fighter ever
