I can't decide whether or not Ribas has a weak chin, or if she just got caught Vs. Marina. Araujo has the power so we'll see the reaction if one lands clean

Her chin is glass if you watch her regional loss to viana. She just doesn’t take punches well and is fighting a very strong, super physical girl who she won’t be able to takedown and control

With the rakh vs neal rebooked this card looks fire. Can’t wait to see who headlines. I’ve given up on Jones Ngannou so maybe we get aljo vs cejudo

Garbrandt vs. Arce
Julio Arce, TKO, R2
I really liked the Rany Yahya matchup... Contrast of styles made it fun, and zero chance for Garbrandt to get brutally ko'd again... Does anyone knows why Yahya is so anactive these days by the way? Just age, maybe...

Kirk vs. Ribovics
Esteban Ribovics, TKO, R2
Kamuela comes out hard but fades fast. I think Esteban defends takedowns and submissions and finds the 2nd round knockout

Not a bad main card for a PPV if the rumoured bouts come in, I don’t care as much for free card or prelim quality becuase they’re not worth $80, I think $80 should be $80 worth of entertainment 

Aljo vs Cejudo or Aljo vs O’Malley
Gaecje vs Fizeav
Neal vs Rakmonov
Dricus vs Brunson
Gabrant vs Arce

Predictions: 10 of 14 Winners, 5 Perfect, 705 Points   |   Tied for 1779th

Penne vs. Ricci
Tabatha Ricci, DEC
Penne just doesn't look like she enjoy's it anymore. Ricci is a hungry up and comer

Basharat vs. Blackshear
Farid Basharat, DEC
Blackshear ain't half bad. However I think Farid will nullify anything that Da'Mon will come at him with. Especially in the striking

Marquez vs. Barriault
Julian Marquez, TKO, R3
Marquez isn't crazy skilled but he's got heart and great finishing ability. I think that's all he's gonna need to beat Barriault who's not looked great lately

They can’t do cejudo vs sterling anymore either because sterling backed out of the fight
