The problem with this card is that they’re only 3 Australian fighter I care about on the card and it’s Culibau, Crute and Volk, and I’m an Australian hardcore MMA fan, This card does need some names because Australia/New Zealand does have tons of good fighter in the UFC

Bilder vs. Young
Blake Bilder, SUB, R2
Shane young is medicore imo, he’s won in the ufc but only to guys who have been cut from the ufc, plus he hasn’t fought in almost 2 years. Bilder looked good on the contender series so I think he’s coming in with more momentum

I meant people on the card right now, if Jack gets on the card I be hype for him, 

I also could get hype for Pedro, just he fighting people who aren’t good and it gets boring

Crute vs Trenifield is gonna be fun. It’s gonna be a good bounce back fight for Jimmy but it will bring great entertainment value. If they can’t find many other fights I wouldn’t mind seeing that one on the main card

He has against Holtzman but other than that I haven’t seen him use it. If he doesn’t use it he’s gonna get KOd

Yair is too good on the feet

Pedro vs. Zhang
Tyson Pedro, SUB, R1
Mingyang Zhangs record says it all. He finishes low competition in rd1 As soon as he steps up he gets finished. Pedro chopps the legs the works to SUB if the ref doesn't step in.
