That said the only person Aldo's given up significant ground time to recently was Yan, and that was more from the accumulated striking damage than takedowns alone.

Paulo Costa, TKO, R2
Luke's time was over a many many years ago, --- Costa by murder
Aldo vs. Dvalishvili
Merab Dvalishvili, TKO, R1
Epic fight, but Aldo can't eat many punches from Merab, ---- the machine by KO/TKO/sub

Leon Edwards, DEC
Usman has fell in love with his hands and striking, and Edwards has good TKD and decent grappling, Edwards will peice Usman up and win the earlier rounds, and Usman will scramble for a grappling victory, similar to Jones vs Reyes, but I think it will be too late for Usman.
Costa vs. Rockhold
Paulo Costa, DEC
Unpopular prediction, but I think Costa hurts Rockhold, and Rockhold survives with grappling to slow Costa down, Costa will likely drop Luke, but I think based off Luke's recent shape and mindset, he'll fight smart enough to not take big risks to get KO'd, but will still lose on the scorecards.
Aldo vs. Dvalishvili
Merab Dvalishvili, DEC
Merab's grappling is superb, he'll nullify Aldo, and grapple to a win.
Tybura vs. Romanov
Alexandr Romanov, TKO, R3
Romanov out grapples and outworks Tybura, and gains a late GNP win.
Pedro vs. Hunsucker
Tyson Pedro, TKO, R1
Tough return for Hunsucker, Tyson's hands are dangerous, seems rejuvenated too, early KO.
Gordon vs. Santos
Leonardo Santos, DEC
Will be scrappy, and both will have their moments, but Santos' grappling will etch out a win.
Woodson vs. Saldaña
Sean Woodson, SUB, R2
Sean Woodson, has too much of everything, to beat and stop Luis.

I mean I can definitely see how it could be exciting but main card placement is just wild. I mean featured prelim is a good slot to get eyes on a fighter (Romanov) but you could put any other fight on the main card
