Don't fancy acting like I was aware of something I wasn't, but didn't even know Thiago is done with UFC... This is a great fight for PFL and even more so for Wilkinson.

Marlon Moraes is done, dont know wath anybody can expect from him againts young and skilled prospect like Loughnane.

As for Thiago, I think he is not done and will outpoint widely a guy like Wilkinson. He probable win the competition if Carlos Junior is not back.

Loughnane vs. Moraes
Brendan Loughnane, TKO, R2
Moraes is on one of the most shocking career trajectory I can recall, since his back and forth loss to Cejudo for the title... From being one or two leg kicks away from the belt (with impressive wins over Sterling and Assuncao), to losing his last 5 fights by brutal KO, in less than 3 years... Absolutely shocking. Why is he even fighting Loughnane, who is a dangerous fighter on a hell of a run?! Crual matchmaking.

Wilkinson vs. Santos
Thiago Santos, DEC
Thiago Santos is on a terrible run since that Jon Jones controversial loss, and I agree he doesn't look the same mad killer, but his level of competition has been the absolute top crème de la crème, with his last 4 losses coming against Jamahal Hill (who just became the Champ with the performance of his life), Ankalaev (who might simply be the better fighter of the entire division when he's not fighting Jan "leg punisher" Blachowicz), Rakic (who is a top 5 fighter with legit titles aspirations), and Teixeira (who was on his crazy old brute run to become a solid Champ). Nothing to be ashamed of. Wilkinson looked great against fighters who wouldn't even be in the top 15 of the UFC rankings, except (maybe) Akhmedov.. So until I'm seing him lose to non-elite fighters, I will keep picking him.

If kaybulaev dont get injured, he probably win the tournament again. 

Interesting to see how Jotko perform here. If Carlos Junior dont come back he is in good positiion.

Looking at Omari's insta page he's had surgery and is dropping out of the tournament. So no Omari or Shoeface. You'd have to think whoever wins between Santos and Wilkinson will go on to win the whole tournament. Who else can you see challenging them? I know there was hype around Silveira last year but he looked out of his depth against Omari...

That's fair JReynolds. I'll admit I haven't seen much of Jotko to comment there, but if he's moving up from middleweight he's going to be at a size and most likely strength disadvantage to either Wilkinson or Santos. 

In regards to Hamlet I would have to disagree with you. Watching him last year he doesn't really pose any outstanding qualities. Not the greatest striker on the feet, preferring to get it to the ground. And I don't know if you could say he is a better wrestler than Wilkinson. 

Guess time will tell :)

Cheers for the info. Will be interesting to see who they match him up against. Also who they bring in to replace Omari. 

Surely whoever wins the contract through the challenger series can't fight on this card since there is just a 3 week gap between the LHW challenger program and this event. Seems weird scheduling to me.

Marlon Moraes has got to be the record holder for 'currently active bigger name draw fighter' who's been KO'd the most times. 
He's taken too much damage - that loss to S. Moraes kinda made me feel a bit sad for him...
