He’s such a weird signing to me. Ufc almost never takes Bellator guys and this is the one they take? Usually when people like this get signed, I assume someone at the ufc knows something. I mean, it seems they’re just gonna give bolanos easy fights to get highlight reels. His skill level doesn’t seem ufc quality, but holy **** are his hands sharp. My guess is they want him to put on big cards to get highlight reel finishes

It’s not surprising to me. They always recruit random-ass pro kickboxers with minimum MMA experience that get inevitably destroyed in the promotion. Only exception to this was Alex Perreira

Brasil vs. Gomes
Bruna Brasil, SUB, R3
*** is this fight, why is it on a UFC card

Guida vs. García
Clay Guida, SUB, R3
Guida has no business fighting at LW at 41, let alone winning against someone 10 years younger, but his cardio is not human and he still somehow has great durability. I honestly think he wins this fight by just grinding out Garcia, because idk if Garcia can throw anything that will make Guida respect him and give up the pressure or stop the pace.

Great test for Arnold Allen. Max Holloway has proved time and time again that he's in the top 5 for a reason. Destroyed Ortega and Kattar. Holloway just can't beat Volkanovski. You just wonder when Max will start regressing. Can't wait to watch this fight

Yeah there's no way that dog**** fight is staying as co main. With all the ******* amazing matchups on this card that ****s gonna get moved to the prelims where it belongs. Co main is probably either Barboza or Jacoby vs Murzakanov

Wonder if ION has worked on his defense should be a quick easy ko for Tanner here.

The Co-main has to be either Munhoz vs Guitierrez or Barboza vs Quarantillo. Boser vs Cutelaba is a prelim fight

I agree please UFC make either of those the co-main. Ion is on a terrible UFC run & Boser is not exactly a contender

Boser is -125
Algeo is -150
Barbosa is +135. 
Max is -140

This seems like a good card to make money on maybe I'll just stay away from betting on 287

Holloway vs Allen
Holloway, KO R3
Allen is a skilled fighter and has a ton of momentum going into this fight but Holloway is just too damn good and is about to humble this man.
 
Cutelaba vs Boser
Boser, KO R1
Easy W for Boser.

Brown vs Algeo
Brown, DEC
I don't know why this is on the card over Royval vs Nicolau but it'll be a war and I believe Brown will come out on top when all is said and done.

Jacoby vs Murzakanov
Jacoby, DEC
I don't know who Murzakanov is, I have never seen a fight of his and I know he's undefeated but I'm going to go out on a limb and say Jacoby edges out the W in a hard fought close battle.

Barboza vs Quarantillo
Barboza, TKO R2
Quarantillo is a good fighter but Barboza is a legend and he's not a legend for no reason.

Munhoz vs Gutierrez
Munhoz, TKO R3
Munhoz is very skilled, Gutierrez may have stepped out of his league with this one...

Does anyone else think it looks like Allen is carrying Holloway on his shoulders on this poster?

This is card has everything: debuting fighters, a classic vet fight, great style clashes and ranking implications throughout. 14 fights is a lot of fights for a fight night. This is seriously a treat and I hope it holds together, especially the main event. As good as this card is, none of the other fights are really main event worthy as a replacement. I only worry because Allen and Holloway have both been injured quite a bit the last 2-3 years.

Hopefully the Blessed Express still wants to compete and isn't washed. Until he gets beat by somebody other then Volk, I'll side with Max

Predictions: 6 of 14 Winners, 2 Perfect, 350 Points   |   Tied for 3128th

Holloway vs. Allen
Max Holloway, DEC
Dominant decision from Holloway. A boxing clinic. 50-44 most likely.

Barboza vs. Quarantillo
Billy Quarantillo, TKO, R2
This is gonna be a really fun scrap. But I think Quarantillo will just land a big shot and knock Edson out cold. I mean Bryce “Pillowhands” Mitchell almost sent Edson to the shadow realm.

Jacoby vs. Murzakanov
Azamat Murzakanov, TKO, R1
1st round TKO due to ground and pound.

Munhoz vs. Gutierrez
Chris Gutierrez, TKO, R2
Brutal KO for Chris Gutierrez, I think Munhoz will still be awake but be all bruised cut and bloody after Gutierrez gives him a good old whooping before ending his night with something insane.

Guida vs. García
Rafa García, DEC
Rafa Garcia is going to dominate this fight. Clay Guida shouldn’t have even beaten Scott Holtzman.

Cutelaba vs. Boser
Tanner Boser, TKO, R1
Ion Cutelaba just can’t win.
