They're giving Cejudo the title shot because all the UFC cares about is ratings.

Andre Petroski, DEC
This should be Petroski's fight. Unless Armen has improved his takedown defense he will get controlled and beaten to the next position and there won't be much he can do about it
Gracie vs. Jourdain
Charles Jourdain, DEC
This is Jourdains fight to lose. Unless Kron has developed some wrestling skills he's gonna have to bang it out. I will admit though his striking isn't that bad for being a Gracie

They're letting Nate fight at 125 again?

Aljamain Sterling, SUB/KO late 2nd or early 3rd
I think that Funky is just too big for Cejudo. Of course Henry could pull-out some magic trick out of the hat, but lets be honest Aljo ain't no kid who will fall for that. He proved me so wrong in Yan's 2nd fight already. Not a fan of him or something, but guy is champ for a reason and gets better by every fight. Also this long ass break for Cejudo doesn't make me lean toward him to win anyhow. This could go to judges easy too, depends if Aljo can get it done before that.

Aloe has to stay steady pressure or he will be in same sad group as Dom and TJ or getting highway robbed like DJ.

Henry Cejudo, TKO, R2
These are the two smartest guys in the Bantamweght division. Aljo is the best grappler. Henry is the best uwrestler. Henry also has the power advantage. Henry by KO mauling.
Petroski vs. Petrosyan
Andre Petroski, DEC
This fight is awesome. Petroski will attack to the mat. Petrosian can explode up. If it's not over in rd1 it comes down to gas tank.
Clark vs. Nzechukwu
Devin Clark, DEC
I thought these guys already fought. Clark is the bigger Dog. Clark will wrestle him for 3 rounds for decision. Kennedy has the ability but doesn't always show up. Just like Jung.
Gracie vs. Jourdain
Charles Jourdain, DEC
Bruh, why are you booking him against guys with 10 losses. Cub has ground defense but Jourdain has cardio for days.
