What I’m surprised with is that the odds makers are giving more respect to Harry Hunsucker than I though they would. I thought Pedro would be -1000 at least

Usman vs. Edwards II
Kamaru Usman, TKO, R4
Gets slept in 4 rounds. Imagine almost losing to Nate and think you deserve a title shot 😂

Costa vs. Rockhold
Paulo Costa, TKO, R1
This is sad. Very sad. I feel bad for Rockhold.

Pedro vs. Hunsucker
Harry Hunsucker, TKO, R2
I’m not sold on anyone that lost to an old Shogun.

If I remember correctly Pedro lost to Shogun because his knees were already shot and then completely gave out in that fight. He’s been away so long because of that, so imo it’s not a true loss. 
Pedro is gonna KO glass jaw Hunsucker 1st round.

I kinda wish they put Sean Woodson vs Luis Saldana on the main card instead of a "Bellator Matchup". Harry Hunsucker might be the worst fighter in the UFC,  Beating him by even a sub 30 second wheelkick where his soul leave his body doesn't mean anything because he's Hunsucker

Woodson vs Saldana seem like a banger

How did Hunsucker lose on the Contenders and then get signed?

Definitely...I mean at the very least they could have put Woodson Vs. Saldana as the prelim headliner. Not sure how or why Gordon Vs. Santos makes that slot.

Yanan Vs. Pudilova should be the very 1st fight on the early prelims, it's the fight guaranteed to have the most 'air punching'

Aldo has the best takedown defence in ufc history, and if not the best, he top 5, Aldo in his legendary carrer, never got wresle****, Aldo has to become 100 over night to lose to a wresler 

Fun fact, only time in his UFC/ WEC carrer Aldo got taken down twice was agaist Frankie Edgar in 2013, and even still, Frankie did nothing with them
