This PPV is clearly going to do way better in terms of buys now with two banger 5 rounders.

Official reason for Khamzat not making weight is a medical issue.

The medical issue was obesity after stuffing his face with hamburgers the night before weigh ins. Lol 🤣😆😂

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 445 Points   |   Tied for 2037th

Diaz vs. Ferguson
Tony Ferguson, TKO, R5
Should be a fun one. I think Tony has more tools to use to win the fight, and I see him winning like a doctor stoppage due to cuts late in the fight. If Nate wins I think it will be a stoppage by strikes too, I just think Tony will be more versatile and well rounded to do more damage over 5 rounds.

Chimaev vs. Holland
Kevin Holland, TKO, R1
literal nightmare match up for Holland, but if Chimaev keeps the fight standing for some weird reason he could get knocked out by R2. Anyways going with Holland because I don't like Chimaev, don't care how obvious of a fight this is to predict

Li vs. Rodriguez
Daniel Rodriguez, TKO, R3
weight advantage will be too much imo. hope Dana buys Li a new suit

Li was gonna flatline Tony, but now he'll probably get busted up and lose a decision. Bad beat for him.

Also, if Khamzat stopped cutting as soon as he cramped up, like Dana said, he probably never even got to extreme cutting stage. He'll probably be fine to rehydrate. He looked totally healthy and shredded at the weigh in. Holland is in trouble.

New myth should be Jiang Li's new suit.

What a dissapoinment for Li.

The suit of dissapoinment 😅

BJJ vs BJJ cancels out. Cardio cancels out.

So who's the better striker. That's Nate.

Main worry is cut stoppage.

Hard to know where either Nate or Tony are at. Neither looks to be in great shape. Tony is coming back from that KO way too early. Nate admitted he wasn't even training for Khamzat and was in full "**** it" mode. It should be fun to watch, but I have no hard predictions about how it'll go.

Both Holland and Li deserves some major credits for this. Both of them are fighting better competition in my opinion, while they did Tony and Nate a big favor by matching them up together. These guys better get a big paycheck for this

Holland said main event or nothing, but Diaz Tony is already confirmed. 

Edit:

It looks like they must’ve given Kevin some good terms, and he gets the 5 rds

crazy how this all turned out. I don't really know what to expect out of Diaz vs Ferguson, I guess I'll rock with Nate. and Chimaev should dust Kevin

I think if Holland is ever going to beat Chimaev this is the perfect storm. Apparently the rumor is Chimaev had a medical issue and this prevented him from cutting the last 8 pounds, so I'm thinking all Holland has to do is channel his inner Leon Edwards and just survive the fight. The longer the fight gets dragged out the better chance Holland has of winning, especially if a medical issue prevents you from cutting weight, that means all Holland has to do is just keep making him work. It sounds easier than it looks, but honestly if Holland ever beats him in a sanctioned MMA fight, this might be the perfect time for it to happen.
